Candidate Forum/Endorsement Meeting Results

At our forum this week, we were joined by the three candidates for the 1st Suffolk State Senate District race to replace Jack Hart who answered a variety of questions and gave us an update of their platform and commitments to make change. Candidates also made an effort to speak one on one with members. Thank you to the Savin Bar and Kitchen and our corporate sponsor Carney Hospital.

Mission

DotOUT is a grassroots, member driven organization committed to the ideals of acceptance, inclusion, fairness, and equality. We believe in the strength of the gay and lesbian community in Dorchester and recognize that together through our activism and neighborliness we can positively influence local opinion on issues that are relevant to us and our community. We recognize that Dorchester's gay and lesbian residents have a long history of contributing to the very essence of our neighborhood. It is upon this foundation that we unite as gay men and lesbians and commit to working with our neighbors and friends in an ongoing effort to improve the quality of life in Dorchester by continuing to build bridges to Dorchester's many communities. In so doing, we will advance the ideals of fairness and equality for all the residents of Dorchester.
