To Whom It May Concern:

I'm writing with an unfortunate amount of disappointment in your organization, specifically in regards to your weekly radio spots on WWAA. I've been a supporter of Georgia Equality for years based on their inclusive mission statement but I am finding that, at least in radio practice, the all too common "real" hierarchy of GLBT is firmly in place. Consistently on the radio spot, the GLBT acronym is invoked in the introduction, but following that, every mention is of either "gay and lesbian" or simply "gay" when referring to the community or issues. As a transgendered person whose attraction to others is not strictly based on either their sex or gender, I feel slighted and dismissed on multiple levels. If, as is often the case, there are substantial overlaps on specific issues affecting the transgendered and non-straight/non-gay on one hand and gays and lesbians on the other, then make that clear as often as possible. Otherwise, it becomes all too easy to believe that GE is yet another organization that wants to claim to include BT people only to the point that they have to work for them.

Regards,

Adrien Tower
