Among many LGBTQIA+ notables and<br />
activists will be the iconic pioneering lesbian<br />
comedian and activist, Robin Tyler, who<br />
will introduce Sepi. There will be performances<br />
by singer Jennifer Corday and by Hollywood. I think 75 or 80 Jewish peo-<br />

‘I am excited about the endorsement from<br />
Feminist and Lesbian ICON Robin Tyler<br />
who spoke in support of our campaign at<br />
the kick-off. The excitement and support<br />
we received is a huge boost to our campaign<br />
and I am ready to Shyne all the way<br />
to November 3, <strong>2020</strong>, to win a seat on West<br />
Hollywood City Council,’ she added.<br />

The Palm Springs home of The Hollywood<br />
Times editor, Valerie Milano, is the setting<br />
for a star-studded fundraising bash for<br />
attorney Sepi Shyne’s West Hollywood City<br />
Council campaign on Saturday, March 7.<br />
“Sepi has been a wonderful friend for many<br />
years now, originally when she chaired the<br />
HRC LA Gala.<br />
Our friendship has<br />
grown over the years.<br />
I believe in her. She is<br />
very capable and will<br />
be an asset to West<br />
Hollywood,” said Valerie<br />
Milano.<br />
As an activist with a social justice platform,<br />
Tyler’s endorsement is especially important<br />
for Sepi. If elected, she will be only the second<br />
lesbian on the West Hollywood City<br />
Council in its 35-year history.<br />
I interviewed Tyler for this story to find<br />
out why Sepi’s election to the WeHo City<br />
Council was important to her. Tyler feels<br />
that West Hollywood needs change and<br />
Sepi is the right person to be elected. She<br />
is disappointed by the West Hollywood<br />
City Council’s decision last year to allow<br />
the screening of the documentary, ‘1948:<br />
Creation and Catastrophe.’ Robin told me<br />
that an antisemitic documentary should<br />
not have been screened by the City of<br />
West Hollywood. She discussed two<br />
Councilmembers, John Duran and John<br />
Heilman, both of whom had voted to allow<br />
the screening.
