NAACP Excludes Transsexual & Transgender Panelists From 'First Ever LGB"T" Town Hall' Next Monday

The NAACP is having its first ever ‘LGB"T" Town Hall’ meeting next week at their conference, BUT it's a shame they have NO transsexual or transgender people on the panel. So why don't they just be honest and call it the "LG" Town Hall? How many times do transsexual or bisexual people get shut out of these events? There are numerous Black TS or TG advocates in LA, so there is really no excuse. I was all happy to go until I heard they SHUT US OUT, AGAIN. When the highest number of hate crime murders in the LGBT and transsexual communities are Black or Latina TS or TG women, one would think these groups would be more inclusive and on point, but I guess we are an embarrassment to some. Also, they could have had more lesbian women on the panel as well. Anyways, if you're gay, have fun at the LG Town Hall. Us "tra**ys" will be busy being INVISIBLE... as usual...sigh

CNN Anchor Don Lemon Says There Should Be More LGBT People of Color Inclusion by Gay Establishment

I met Don Lemon last night at The Trevor Project fundraiser
Don Lemon presenting last night

Don Lemon, the CNN anchor who came out as an openly gay man in May, was a presenter at this year’s The Trevor Project fundraiser gala in New York last night. Lemon, who is African American, spoke truth to power when he suggested on stage that the LGBT establishment should include more LGBT people of color.

The man has a very valid point!!

I am very proud that Lemon used his time on stage to highlight the issue of the lack of ethnic diversity by certain LGBT media outlets, organizations and leadership roles. I think he was generally speaking, and not necessarily about The Trevor Project.

Also, all the images of women of transsexual history I see on TV are all white.
Many transgender (not to be confused with transsexual) images on TV are either “gay male drag queens gone transgenderist impersonator”, or “heterosexual white male transvestite fetishists who cross dress”.

Can we have some actual women who are just women who happen to have a transsexual medical condition, not only drag queen and transvestite males?

Despite what the TV show Glee tells the world, there are actually LGBT/TS/Intersex people of color in society.

Way to take a stand Lemon!
