[Nfbc-info] Fw: [Nfbnet-members-list] MeetingWith PresidentRiccobono Regarding LGBT Issues at National Convention

[Charles Krugman]

interestingly ACB has had such a group for the past several years. I 
expressed concerns about not having such a group in the early nineties and 
was told at that time that the powers that were would have no part of any 
discussion about it. That caused me to leave the NFB for many years. At that 
time there were not only the social issues but there were access issues as 
there were no LGBT publications available or literature available through 
NLS or any other sources for that matter. Now with the evolution of the 
internet and organizations such as bookshare.org the access issues have 
diminished somewhat.

Hi,
Some women tried years ago but when a women's group was forming, straight
women became angry that lesbians were trying to run it when, as far as I
know, they were just trying to attain equal opportunity. Nothing much
happened for years and years after that. I would think it could be good for
lgbt people to find each other and deal in a group with their specific
issues.
Thanks,
Lauren
