The City of West Hollywood hosted a panel discussion regarding the documentary film, “Disarm Hate.” “Disarm Hate” follows the story of the nine LGBTQ individuals who come together after the Pulse Massacre to join Jason Hayes, a hairdresser and activist, as he builds a national rally to demand LGBTQIA equal rights, fight the NRA, and challenge America’s obsession with gun violence. The panelists included Jason Hayes, founder of National Rally Disarm Hate in Washington D.C.; Julianna Brudek, Director of Disarm Hate; Ashlee-Marie Preston, Executive Producer and cast member, journalist and activist; Alexis Sanchez, cast member and advocate; Vic Gerami, American journalist and LGBT activist; and Jackie Steele (moderator) comedian and member of the City of West Hollywood’s Lesbian & Gay Advisory Board.
