The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force have stepped up to become one of the first ally organizations to make a statement about the DSM-V Work Group selection (PFLAG has also reportedly been working on a statement). They write:

    The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is questioning the American Psychiatric Association's (APA) recent appointments of Kenneth Zucker, Ph.D., to chair the Committee on Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders for the revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V), and Ray Blanchard, Ph.D., to serve as a committee member. These appointments are raising great concerns within the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
