		NGLTF and its peace-loving comrades worry that a war "will increase human suffering, arouse animosity toward our country, increase the likelihood of terrorist attacks, damage the economy and undermine our moral standing in the world." In fact, a war is more likely to do the opposite of all these things.
		NGLTF's only explanation of the connection between a potential Iraq war and gay rights is this: "In the aftermath of Sept. 11, we have become increasingly alarmed," said NGLTF Executive Director Lorri Jean in a press release.
		NGLTF did not specify which rights it believes have been "gutted" -- courts have upheld almost every step taken so far to increase domestic security -- but they evidently don't include the right to issue non sequiturs in press releases.

	Toledo resigns
		Toledo said she was pleased with a number of other accomplishments during her tenure, including the publication of NGLTF Policy Institute booklets on such topics as Gay voting trends in presidential elections, transgender equality, the Bush administration’s proposed religion initiatives, and issues of concern to Gay senior citizens.
		NGLTF officials and supporters said they did not think the leadership of the march represented grassroots activists, and they expressed strong objections to participation in the march by large corporate sponsors.
		NGLTF also expanded the role of its National Policy Institute, which serves as a Gay think tank, and greatly expanded participation in its annual "Creating Change" conferences, which have become known as the Gay movement’s annual national meeting.

	Concerned Women for America - ‘Gay’ Group Slashes Homosexual Partner Benefits for Own Employees
		Glenn said NGLTF officials' "glaring hypocrisy" — revealed March 7 in a lead story by the Blade — will be extremely helpful in his and other pro-family groups' efforts to oppose the adoption of so-called "domestic partner" benefits by private employers and state and local governments.
		"NGLTF Director Lorri Jean's admission that same-sex benefits for her own employees were 'prohibitively expensive' is now Exhibit A in the case we'll make to employers concerned about the rising cost of health care," he said.
		Glenn said it is NGLTF's private rather than its public position on the issue that reflects the economic realities of adding to an employer's "insurance pool" new individuals whose homosexual lifestyle makes them more likely to be disproportionate consumers of healthcare services, thus driving up premium costs for the pool of employees as a whole.

	Homosexual Group Cuts Back Domestic Partner Benefits -- 03/19/2003
		Several months after assuming her position in 2001, NGLTF executive director Lorri Jean recommended the reduction in health coverage for domestic partners as part of a cost cutting effort, because she saw them as "prohibitively expensive," according to the Washington Blade newspaper.
		The NGLTF, upset that conservative groups are now making an issue of the domestic partner benefit cutback, issued a press release denouncing the "miscommunication campaign tactics of [the] right wing." But the group did not dispute the fact of the case.
		LaBarbera called the NGLTF a group on "the fringe of the fringe in the gay movement" and said the organization prides itself on taking what it considers principled stands within the homosexual movement.

		Foreman said that in addition to Acheson and Noble, NGLTF has hired Amber Hollibaugh, an official with the national gay seniors group SAGE, to serve as senior strategist for the new staff unit, which is calls the Department of Public Policy and Government Affairs.
		NGLTF and HRC both have declared they will withdraw their support for ENDA unless transgender rights are added.

	healthfinder® — National Gay and Lesbian Task Force - NGLTF
		The NGLTF has, since the beginning of the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) epidemic, worked actively to increase government funding for AIDS related research and prevention efforts, and continues to work to insure an adequate governmental response to the health crisis.

	National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
		NGLTF's support will help SAVE Dade counter the attack of the anti-gay group Take Back Miami-Dade, which has joined forces with Pat Robertson's Christian Coalition to place an amendment on the ballot to once again remove sexual orientation from the county's current anti-discrimination ordinance, passed in 1998.
		NGLTF will make a cash grant of $50,000 to Save Dade--making NGLTF by far the largest contributor to SAVE Dade's campaign, and to date the largest contribution ever made by a national GLBT organization to a local ballot campaign.
		NGLTF has dedicated six full-time staff to work with SAVE Dade to organize at the local level to defeat the initiative.

		Veteran D.C. gay activist Frank Kameny, who is among the gay leaders who founded NGLTF in 1973, said the logo change represents a disappointing trend among gay groups to remove the word gay from their names.
		A âBrandmark Manualâ prepared by NGLTF to explain the rationale of the new logo says the changes seek to broaden the groupâs focus.
		NGLTF, which is among the most progressive and left-leaning of the national gay political groups, is not trying to âcorporatizeâ its efforts through the new logo, Foreman said this week.

		NGLTFâs involvement in the California battle marks another effort by the group to extend its activism beyond gay-specific causes.
		Sheri Lunn, communications director for NGLTF, defended the groupâs involvement and said that funds and resources are not being diverted from other NGLTF programs.
		Lunn said that NGLTF recently led five voter identification canvasses in Southern California and has trained volunteers for door-to-door voter education efforts.

	News & Politics
		I suggested NGLTF is no longer willing to hire men for the organization's top spot and I suggested new ED Elizabeth Toledo was chosen because she is a "lesbian of color." She's Latino.
		Last year she was married to a man. In my mind the only thing that could entice NGLTF to hire someone who just came out for one of America's top five gay jobs is the NGLTF board's obsession with political correctness.
		If you care -- and NGLTF does -- of its 11 "people of color" staffers, four are fl, three are Latino, one is Asian, one is a Pacific islander, one is Indian (the country), and one's race was unclear at press time.

		Also at the meeting it was announced NGLTF has been awarded almost $400,000 in the recent fiscal period from prestigious foundations, including a $330,000 bequest from the Messenger estate and a grant from the IBM Corporation, which recently extended domestic partnership benefits for its gay and lesbian employees.
		She reinvigorated the NGLTF Policy Institute when she hired noted historian and author Dr. John D'Emilio of the University of North Carolina to direct the research, analysis and publishing arm of NGLTF.
		NGLTF co-sponsored "All God's Children," the award-winning video by filmmakers Dr. Dee Mosbacher, Frances Reid and Dr. Sylvia Rhue on lesbian and gay in the African-American community.

		Washington, DC, July 14, 1993....A study to be released later this week by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) indicates that there is a correlation between a specific chromosomal region in human males and homosexuality.
		Regardless of the scientific origins of homosexuality, however, NGLTF calls for an end to discrimination based on sexual orientation.
		The NIH study, which will be published in the July issue of _Science_, is the most recent in a body of research indicating a possible genetic basis for homosexuality.

		On Friday at a press conference at the Apple Computer Research and Development Center, NGLTF released the results of a survey of Fortune 1000 companies to establish a baseline reading of the quality of work life for gay men and lesbians in corporate America.
		While many companies include sexual orientation in their non-discrimination policies, the results revealed that Fortune 1000 companies have a long way to go in ensuring that gay, lesbian and bisexual employees are treated equally in the workplace.
		NGLTF is the grassroots organizing arm of the gay and lesbian movement, and is currently re-focusing its energies on state and local organizing while providing the linkage to a national vision of gay, lesbian, and bisexual equality.

		From NGLTF’s point of view, the Persian Gulf War would adversely affect not just the lives of those lesbians and gay men in the armed forces, but also vital domestic-spending programs on health care and research for AIDS.
		NGLTF has again taken a stance on the war.
		Even NGLTF — which has been far more cautious about taking such stands given the outcry against its actions during the first Persian Gulf War — on December 30 signed on to a statement issued by the National Council of Churches on December 12.

	Misplaced Priorities: A Town Square Opinion: NGLTF fails fight for gay marriage due to race issues: Gauge at Metro ...
		To be sure, NGLTF is not the only group timid on this score, but the failure is most glaring in Mr.
		To be honest, NGLTF was always too far to the left for me, using self-righteous rhetoric about all oppressions being linked as a cover for their refusal to focus on gay rights just as their coalition partners in other civil rights groups have a focus.
		To take one example, NGLTF denounced the death penalty against Wanda Jean Allen because she was a lesbian, despite the fact that the two women she had murdered were also lesbians.

	A Stitch in Haste Gays and Social Security Reform
		The correct analogy, the one that NGLTF mysteriously chooses not to make, is between a defined-benefit pension plan (which Social Secuirty essentially is), and a defined-contribution pension account such as a 401(k) account or an IRA, which can be inherited by spouses or by unmarried gay couples (assuming a well-crafted will).
		Finally, the NGLTF conveniently omits that the White House's proposal exempts anyone over the age of 55 from any changes in Social Security anyway — Granpa Walton's checks are safe.
		Of course, the real agenda of the NGLTF with respect to Social Security is the same as every other liberal group's — petty partisan politics: Say whatever needs to be said, omit whatever needs to be omitted, twist whatever needs to be twisted, to block Social Security reform at all costs.

	Independent Gay Forum - NGLTF's Odd Priorities. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		NGLTF was apparently not bothered that the event's official platform, representing the views of leading civil rights organizations, failed to support same-sex marriage -- or even to oppose the proposed anti-gay Federal Marriage Amendment.
		This week, NGLTF announced it was stepping up its efforts to defeat a California ballot initiative that would prevent the state from classifying any person by race, ethnicity, color, or national origin (with certain exemptions).
		Proposition 54 may or may not be good policy, but is it something NGLTF should take a stand on, right after the group refused to confront the civil rights establishment over its lack of support for gay marriage?

		NGLTF's outgoing Communications Director, Robert Bray, who has been instrumental in the GID reform initiative declared, "Next to NCLR, the Task Force is one of the first major national US gay/lesbian organizations to take a stand on this critical subject.
		In all its efforts, NGLTF helps to strengthen the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender movement at the state level while connecting these activities to a national vision for change.
