Open Letter to the LGBTQ+ Community and Allies of Tulare County

John my husband and I, at the request of the California State Democratic Party, in February of this year
organized and formed a Tulare County Stonewall Democrats Club. This club is an official Democratic
Party Chartered organization with the goal of giving the community some positive political voice.
I am highly disappointed in the lack of support and participation from the members of the Tulare County
LGBTQ+ community.
We even changed the day of the month we have our meeting at the request of some as to not conflict
with other organizations meetings and those people have never bothered to attend a meeting.
Too many in the LGBTQ+ community sit and complain about there being nothing here to support them
and when there is an organization formed they dont even bother to attend, join or support it.
It is up to the same few in Tulare County that organize and try to make positive change for our
community. It is time that everyone in the LGBTQ+ community look in the mirror and do some soul
searching and ask themselves have I done enough to help myself let alone the entire community.
The Tulare County Stonewall Democrats meet the 2nd Monday of the month at 208 W. Main St. Visalia
(Montgomery Square) in the conference room at the bottom of the stairs at 7 p.m.
