Foreman Farewell Fotos
Here's a few more pics from Matt Foreman's going away party on Saturday, where slideshows projected onto two walls depicted Foreman's decades of LGBT activism in New York. The photos ranged from his days as a founder of Heritage of Pride, his six years as head of the NYC Gay & Lesbian Anti-Violence Project, his six years as Executive Director of the Empire State Pride Agenda, and his five years as head of the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force. Today is Foreman's last day with the Task Force.
