After offering to give the invocation before our County Committee meeting and using legal threats since theirs are all Lord Jesus blah blah Jesus God blah blah Jesus.. I finally got to yesterday. I included Pride..
My invocation was inclusive and I added the importance of Pride month.
And for the first time ever, they gave a second invocation. Bastards. Im calling them on it and recruiting folks to volunteer for giving the first or second invocation.
The two invocations are right at the beginning.

(18,516 posts)I couldn't help noticing how her fidgetjng accelerated as time went on. She was obviously getting more and more impatient for the first invocation to end so she could do her "real" one! What a piece of work!
Your invocation was lovely, duhneece. Congrats on beating down the red tape and getting in there to do it!

Or, more benignly, they may have simply always done it this way. The fact that it took legal threats on your part inclines me to think less kind thoughts.
Ask around among your friends for volunteers, but also ask at the Unitarian Universalist Society and synagogue. Any Buddhist or Hindu temples might also have someone who could volunteer on a rotating basis.
I would count it as a victory if you could get them to commit to an inclusive rota of people they can and do call on. Tell the volunteers on the rota to prod the Committee scheduler if they dont hear back. Let them have their second invocation if it makes them happy.
I wish you all the best.
