Though a bit difficult to read, with the small print and overly fancy font, the billboards unveiled last spring featuring LGBTA Spokanites were fun to see. Paid for by OutSpokane, the signs were revealed gradually, a new phrase added each week until eventually they read: "Hi Spokane! We're your family, friends and neighbors! Some of us are gay. All of us deserve equal rights." According to the Vision Committee (an arm of OutSpokane) web site, another billboard series is in the works for 2008. It's part of the committee's ongoing campaign for visibility and equality/Jill Wagner, Out on the Town.
