Kucinich to court the gays in Ogunquit
David Foucher READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Fresh from his appearance on the Aug. 9 Logo/Human Rights Campaign televised Democratic candidate forum, where he received some of the loudest applause of the night and was treated like a rock star by Melissa Etheridge, an actual rock star, Ohio congressman and presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich will court the gays in person at a meet-and-greet in Ogunquit, Maine, on Aug. 26.
Kim Hoffman, a campaign volunteer working on the event, said the event will be an opportunity for the LGBT community to meet Kucinich face-to-face and learn more about his campaign.
"Some of the time he'll talk and I'm sure field general questions, and there will be time to have some one-on-one with him as well," said Hoffman. Both Kucinich and his wife, Elizabeth, will be on hand for the event, part of a larger series of appearances that weekend in Maine.
Kucinich's meet-and-greet takes place at Roberto's restaurant and runs from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m.
