Randy Roberts Potts, Gay Agenda makes Oklahoma debut in February

Randy Roberts Potts and boyfriend Keaton begin their “Gay Agenda” tour in Oklahoma City in early February.

“The Gay Agenda” is a roving performance piece that uses empty storefronts instead of a stage, featuring Randy Roberts Potts and his partner Keaton inhabiting a makeshift living room and engaging in an array of activities popular among gay couples: reading, checking email, cooking dinner, watching television and more. Viewers, who do not interact directly with Potts and Keaton, can observe with their own eyes the uncensored truth of what lies at the heart of the struggle for equal rights among gay Americans: the desire to live in peace.  “The Gay Agenda” was personally conceptualized by Potts.

The Liberty Education Fund (LEF) has announced it will be the exclusive national not-for-profit partner of Potts project.

“Liberty Education Forum is the exclusive national partner of “The Gay Agenda,” and as such we’re not looking to make this a one-off. This is a project that can — and should — be replicated across the country,” said Gregory T. Angelo, Executive Director of LEF. “The message of equal rights for all is universal, and the more everyday citizens see that gay people are everyday citizens just like them, the closer we come to achieving equal rights for all Americans.”

“The Gay Agenda,” a one-of-a-kind traveling immersive installation that gives curious viewers a glimpse into the lives of gay Americans and highlights what gay individuals are truly seeking: the ability to live their lives in quiet dignity.

“The Gay Agenda” highlights, in a very unique and very real way, the fact that gay Americans are no different from anyone else,” said Potts. “In that sense, Liberty Education Forum is the ideal national partner for this project—their mission to bring a message of gay acceptance to conservatives and people of faith throughout the country is perfectly in line with the goal of “The Gay Agenda.” I’m excited they’re on-board with this project.”

“Oklahoma City is a great location to begin our partnership with Randy and “The Gay Agenda” project,” added Angelo. “It’s a city situated at the heart of heartland America, and the perfect place to start the conversation of acceptance and equality “The Gay Agenda” will promote.

“There are so many individuals and organizations lobbying, protesting, and rallying for equal rights, but no one is expressing the importance of equality to everyday Americans in personal terms like “The Gay Agenda” does. “The Gay Agenda” will bring a message of gay acceptance to people across the country—some who are non-accepting on issues of equality, or ambivalent, or who perhaps have never known or even met a gay person in their lives. “The Gay Agenda” speaks to them, and I’m proud Randy has chosen Liberty Education Forum as the exclusive national partner for this important initiative.”

“The Gay Agenda” is possible only because of the financial backing of individual donors and corporate supporters. Donations in support of “The Gay Agenda” may be made directly through the contributions page on the Liberty Education Forum website at www.libertyeducationforum.org (donors should indicate their contribution is made “In Honor of” Randy Roberts Potts).

“The Gay Agenda” will make its Oklahoma premier Feb. 10-12, 2012 at 7:00pm until Sunday, February 12, 2012 at 2:00pm at 1726 NW 16th, OKC on the Plaza District. Additional engagements to be announced shortly; follow the Gay Agenda and the Gayly on Facebook for updated information.
