The Commonwealth Club's LGBT member-led forum will present "Media Coverage of Prop 8 and Its Aftermath" Wednesday, April 15. A reception takes place at 5:30 p.m. followed by the program at 6. The event takes place at the club's offices, 595 Market Street in San Francisco.

The panelists will discuss coverage of Prop 8 as well as the election aftermath, when several LGBT journalists found themselves in a mediating role between No on 8 leadership and community organizers.
