Anyone can attend. I am a straight female and I went. I met tons of people who were all friendly and I even have plans to game with them, too. :) It was awesome.

I live in Oakland and have been to Fruitvale many times. I agree that it's strange to see a movie set in a place where you live/have lived/grew up in. I take BART all the time since I have to - I don't have vehicle.
