Come out and watch My Girlfriend Did It, a documentary exploring the dynamics of violence in lesbian relationships. While the film focuses on woman to woman battering, the information is relative to all members of the GLBT communities.
Stay for a discussion following the film around violence in GLBT relationships.
Light refreshments will be provided.
The film and discussion are sponsored by Equality Virginia's Anti-Violence Project, and co-sponsored by Metropolitan Community Church of Northern Virginia, and Northern Virginia AIDS Ministry, and Equality Fairfax.

Around 15 people braved the horrendous weather and traffic (took me 80 minutes to drive 10 miles from work in Tysons to MCC in Fairfax) to see an interesting, if somewhat frightening, film.
Domestic violence is a problem that transcends sexual orientation, ethnicity or financial status. That it happens in our own communities is discouraging though not surprising since this tendency for some people to use violence seems to be part of the human condition.
This is definitely worth seeing if you get a chance.
