- Thanks to Jack Newsbaum for posting the items from GLAAD. I
- think such information is useful. I also agree with Jack
- that taking action is worth the effort.
-
- Stimulated by one of the recent items, I wrote to the person
- who chairs a committee developing guidelines for accrediting
- higher-education institutions, whose draft document
- explicitly exempts affected institutions from having to
- include sexual minorities in their diversity policies.
-
- I mention this here to point out that despite sometimes very
- sharp disagreement over political philosophy, there are good
- reasons not to let such issues divide us in any way that
- prevents action for the common good on matters we do agree
- about.
