FIGHTING BACK: LGBTs and allies came together to discuss domestic violence and its impact on the LGBT community at the monthly QSpot Oct. 5 at William Way LGBT Community Center. After the showing of the third installment of “CrazySexyCool,” film star and vice president of Da L Factor Di the Comedian (with microphone) was on hand to discuss her role in the piece, which highlights domestic violence among LGBT couples. The event also featured free HIV testing and access to community resources, along with a workshop led by recording artist Tony Enos. Photo: Scott A. Drake NEWS
