CLINTON, LESBIAN/GAY ELECTED OFFICIALS HOLD HISTORIC MEETING 2. FEDERATION DRAWS STATE ACTIVISTS, YOUTH LEADERS TO FIVE-DAY EVENT CLINTON, LESBIAN/GAY ELECTED OFFICIALS HOLD HISTORIC MEETING: A contingent of state- and local-level lesbian and gay elected officials met Wednesday July 28th with President Clinton in a historic dialogue covering education, hate crime prevention and job discrimination. "Today's meeting marked a milestone on the long road to full inclusion of gay and lesbian Americans in the civic life of our nation, " said Brian K. Bond, executive director of the Victory Fund, which works to increase the number of openly lesbian and gay public officials. The meeting's participants - the first such audience to meet with a sitting U.S. president - encouraged Clinton to make discrimination and hate crime legislation a top priority. "It was a very substantive and productive meeting," said Mass. State Rep. Liz Malia. "We are hopeful that the president will take action that will ensure that his administration leaves a legacy of fairness for future generations." For more information, contact Sloan C. Wiesen, Victory Fund's Communications Director, at (202) 842-8679, ext. 310. FEDERATION DRAWS STATE ACTIVISTS, YOUTH LEADERS TO FIVE-DAY EVENT: Political activists from 45 states and the District of Columbia converged on Minneapolis last weekend for the mid-year meeting of the Federation of Statewide Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Political Organizations. Participants evaluated the success of Equality Begins at Home, a nationwide campaign begun in March, and began strategizing for the 2000 elections. "As a result of the Federation's work, we witnessed more pro-GLBT bills files in state legislatures this year than in the history of the GLBT movement," said Federation Co-Chair Gina Reiss. "None of this happened by accident." Concurrent with the Federation meeting, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF) sponsored its annual Youth Leadership Institute, drawing youth activists from across the nation for five days of skill-building programs and meetings with Federation representatives. "State groups are ground zero in our struggle for equality and justice, and it is essential that we support them," NGLTF Executive Director Kerry Lobel said. "It is equally important that we both teach - and listen to - today's youth leaders." For more information, contact the Federation's Gina Reiss at (732) 828-1266 and NGLTF Communications Director David Elliot at (202) 332-6483, ext. 3303.

GLSEN-Greensboro is one of 90 chapters nationwide that work toward making schools safe for all children regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. Schools are nightmares for many children. Every day thousands of children dread having to walk into their classrooms. These are the children who don't fit the ``ideal'' American model. They are misfits. They don't belong.
