Men take lead in gay movement

[kweerwolf]

Since 2002, when lesbians were at the helm of the nation's most prominent gay rights groups, a gradual shift has left gay men as the face of the movement.

The trend toward male-dominated leadership has continued, despite diverse staffs and boards of directors at the nation's largest activist groups.

Lesbians led the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force for 26 years of its 33-year history. The Human Rights Campaign had female executive directors for 10 years of its 26-year history. And at the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, Joan Garry, who left earlier this year, served as executive director for eight years.

Now, the executive directors of the Task Force, HRC, GLAAD, Parents Families & Friends of Lesbians & Gays, National Stonewall Democrats, the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, Victory Fund, Log Cabin Republicans and Lambda Legal are all men.
