A contingent from Dignity/LA prepares the chapter's Banner for its participation in a
parade of the banners from all of the chapters, at the Convention. Such a parade of
banners is traditionally a part of every national convention. From left to right are

At the Convention, Bishop V. Eugene Robinson, the openly-gay man
consecrated as the Episcopal Bishop of New Hampshire in 2003,
captures the attention of two former members of the chapter,
David Valenzuela (center) and Bill Lamarche (right). David and Bill moved east
from Los Angeles and became founding members of
Dignity/Palm Springs,
one of the newest chapters of Dignity in the nation.
