Join the Newton Human Rights Commission for Newton pride on June 6th at 6pm, honoring special guest Bob Parlin, and featuring our Mayor Setti Warren.

The event and details are on Facebook here. 

I’ve never met Bob, but his story seems fascinating. Here’s a wonderful story on his coming out and founding the first gay-straight alliance in a public school. I’m looking forward to meeting him and thanking him for everything he’s done to advance equality in our city. He’s a perfect example of how local activism can have a global impact.
