  Coalition Notes

Spring has finally come to the Green Mountain State, and the Vermont Coalition for
Lesbian and Gay Rights (VCLGR) intends to continue its busy pace now that the
weather is warming.

During March, VCLGR sponsored three very successful talks by Elias Farajaje-Jones in
Brattleboro, White River Junction, and Burlington. The Coalition also spent the
legislative session monitoring the adoption debate to ensure that our hard—fought right
to adopt our partners’ children was not denied by legislative action. As of the date of
this article, VCLGR was successful in ensuring that these rights were preserved.

VCLGR also worked closely with the Vermont Freedom to Marry Task Force as they
prepared for the inevitable backlash that will occur when the Hawaii Supreme court
legalizes same—gender marriages. For more information on the Task Force, call Beth at
388-6356 during the day.

VCLGR has three priorities for the next few months. First, we will once again host our
Annual Conference and “Town Meeting” in November. If anyone is interested in
volunteering to work on this huge but fun project, please call Gabriel at 257-4871.

Our second priority is to conduct a survey of all candidates running for elective office
in Vermont. We will ask their positions on a wide variety of issues of interest to the
gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered communities, and report these results back to
our members before the November elections so that we will be better informed about
the various candidates’ positions. Anyone wishing to work on this project should call

Susan Aranoff at 229-6648 during the evening.

Finally, VCLGR is launching an ambitious effort to raise sufficient money to hire a
lobbyist to represent us in the legislature beginning in 1997. Because things happen so
quickly in the legislature, we can no longer simply rely on the energy and efforts of a
few volunteers to represent our interests effectively in the State House. VCLGR has
already hosted a few parties and fund-raisers in the Champlain Valley which have been
very successful and a lot of fun. If anyone would like to host a party to raise money for
a lobbyist, please contact Judith at 623-6131 nights.

In other VCLGR news, Susan Aranoff has agreed to act as Co—Chair until the next
election. She replaces D. Dudley, who resigned earlier in the year. The Board is happy
to have Susan’s energies and commitment working for us again.

The VCLGR Board meetsonce a month at Gifford Memorial Hospital in Randolph.
The meetings start at 9:30 a.m. The meetings are open to the public, and everyone is
encouraged to attend and participate. VCLGR’s meeting schedule is as follows:
Sunday, June 2; Saturday, July 27; Sunday, August 11; Saturday, September 21;
Sunday, October 6. V
