BURLINGTON VT: Streaming from the basement of Amber LeMay’s pandemic hideaway in Burlington, Vermont, Amber Live! will host a discussion on LGBTQ+ rights in Pennsylvania, and how recent events in Pennsylvania (such as John Fetterman’s battle to fly a rainbow flag at the Capital and the LGBTQ+ Bill of Rights) are sparking change. This forum will be hosted by legendary drag queen Amber LeMay and will take place live on Sunday night, March 7th 2021 at 8 PM ET/5PM PT.

Fetterman may appear on the forum as well, schedule permitting)
