As always your passion for the community shows through your writing. Thanks for sharing and thanks for your story about Stonewall (the bar still exists), it often gets over looked.

I appreciate the links you provided. I was able to check out The Human Rights Campaign to see what politicians are supporting the community here in Florida and found that there is a Steering Committee right in my area. I’ll have to attend a future meeting.

I looked up my union, District Council 37 (NYC) and found they still have a Lesbian and Gay Committee and they will be marching in NYC Pride Parade this year. It’s good to know that a committee that was started some years ago, and I was part of, still has breath in it.

I’m going to get a pride flag to hang up in my window and the Property Manager said I can put anything on the outside of my apartment door as long as the wording is not offensive. So I might be decorating the front door with Pride memorabilia, this is where I certainly need a Queen friend - they can decorate anything and make it look good (smile).

Keep the newsletter coming. You are doing a great service to all of us.

Happy Pride Life!
