Since its founding in 1990, NLGJA
has grown to a 1,350-member, 23-chapter organization in the United States
and affiliations in Canada and Germany. The issues of same-sex marriage,
gay families, parenting and adoption, gays in the military, sex education
in the schools, civil liberties, gay-related ballot initiatives, gay
bashing and anti-gay violence are commanding media attention with
regularity. NLGJA has had a positive effect on responsible gay coverage,
but we still have work to do.
NLGJA keeps its members informed of
legislative issues that impact gays and lesbians through our website,
e-mail and our newsletter. We do not, however, lend our name to, nor
participate as a group in political action events or organizations.
