JFTR - Myself and my partner were on the convening board of a human rights organization in the mid-70s. It was a 14 member group - 12 men and us two women. It took almost two years to get the word "lesbian" added to the organization's name because a majority of the board members would not buy the argument that "gay" was not inclusive. I am still friends with the three remaining men although I now live in a different part of the country. When I go back and visit they will bring up the issue and make fun of themselves for being so out of it in the beginning.

My goodness things have changed...
