(Maybe this is mentioned in the original Politco linky - I dunno.)

National Gay and Lesbian Task Force - History:

Task Force History

An uncompromising voice for equality for more than three decades...

"No account of the changes in laws and public policies would be complete without attention to [the Task Force's history]. The Task Force played a critical role in the campaign to eliminate the sickness classification of homosexuality. It worked to lift the prohibition on federal civil service employment for gays and lesbians. It strove in the 1970s to make the Democratic Party responsive to the gay community. It took the lead in the 1980s in national organizing against homophobic violence. As AIDS began to devastate gay male communities, the Task Force shaped the first serious efforts in Washington to address the epidemic. It was a founding member of the Military Freedom Project, which prepared the ground for the gays-in-the-military debate of 1993. It has worked with the administrations of presidents from Carter to Clinton." - — From John D'Emilio's Interpreting the NGLTF Story


Sounds kindy task forcey to me. YMMV.

It's fine to say that people's sexuality and gender identity shouldn't matter. But it does (as I'm sure your daughter(s) can tell you. ;-)

My $0.02.

Cheers,
Scott.
