Reason #12 to be Proud: Lesbian Organizations

Tuesday June 12, 2007
Who is really looking out for the rights of lesbians? Other lesbians, that's who. When a problem arises in the community, like employment discrimination, a high rate of cancer or lesbians being ignored by historians, lesbians step up to the plate and try to amend the situation. Sometimes when trying to help a friend in need, you see that there are many others out there with similar needs. Your small action becomes something bigger and eventually an organization is formed. These top national lesbian organizations are all working for the advancement of lesbians, whether it be on the political front, for better healthcare, advancement in Hollywood or in politics. These national lesbian organizations are something we can all be proud for.
