The NAACP is having its first ever 'LGB"T" Town Hall' meeting next week at their conference, BUT it's a shame they have NO transsexual or transgender people on the panel. So why don't they just be honest and call it the "LG" Town Hall. How many times do transsexual or bisexual people get shut out of these events?

I still have trouble getting my head around the fact that the "Land of the Free" still needs something like this to represent 20% of the population. Do First Nations people get a look in anywhere?
Pity a marginalised group, within a marginalised group themselves can see fit to ignore half the title. BTIQ seems not to have been thrown under the bus, so much as just left standing at the stop.
