Solmonese’s ‘special guest’ In mid-January we heard that Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese would bring along pop- singer and “American Idol” runner-up Clay Aiken to the HRC Carolinas Gala on .Feb. 21. We couldn’t just stand by and let this rumor pass us up. We emailed HRC communications folks and asked if Solmonese Q-Note^ new community blog Q-Notes has a new community blog, assemblage.

Funny, we had just been there days earlier. No, Liaisons isn’t closed. In fact, they just had a Purple Party and Superbowl party a couple weeks ago. ► — compiled by Q-Notes stajf post their own contributions. Registration is completely free.
