At Brown-Forman, we take a very broad view of diversity and have been working conscientiously to tie our Diversity and Inclusion efforts to the strategic imperatives that drive our company. To date, we are pleased that progress has been made. However, despite the gains, which are encouraging, we also are keenly aware of and humbled by the fact that there is so much more to accomplish. As we continue our journey, and it is just that, we are very fortunate to have a fully engaged Executive Leadership Team on point. They are not only committed to the diversity concepts but they are clear about the roles and responsibilities they each have in our strategic diversity and inclusion process. In essence, they understand that part of the success of this effort is directly tied to their being actively engaged and that they cannot delegate their responsibility for managing diversity and inclusion to anyone. In essence, all of us at Brown-Forman have to take 100% responsibility for the quality of the space between us. To that end, when we have rolled out training programs, we start with our leaders and, to their credit, they resist abbreviated/executive versions of what everyone else is getting. Rather, they have the same experience and, in the process, continue to grow in self- awareness while developing a deeper capability to connect across the various dimensions of diversity. Now I know this sounds like they are perfect and the truth of the matter is they are not but what they are is a group of leaders who are trying very hard to make sure that we achieve our vision to create an environment where leveraging diversity and inclusion occurs naturally in the pursuit of our organizational objectives. One of those objectives is assuring that our LGBT-identified employees can work in an environment that is safe, equitable and free from barriers that inhibit their growth and development. It should come as no surprise that when I asked that we include sexual orientation and gender identity or expression to our equal employment opportunity policy, there was no hesitation from our Executive head of human resources, our benefits department or our other Executive leaders. Recently, with the support from our Leaders we added coverage for surgical procedures related to transitioning. It also comes as no surprise that we are doing more with and in the gay community and that means we are not just trying to market our products in the community. Rather we are working hard to understand the role we need to play in the community to make sure that suppliers BEFORE AFTER of goods and services are given an equal opportunity to do business with us. Beyond that we have gotten more involved with the Human Rights Campaign, Just Fund Kentucky, and other related organizations, in an effort to make sure that those who Name: JONATHAN Age: 58 Actual client.

TIPPING POINT?

It’s been an amazing, historic, and very frustrating year for LGBT rights. Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell has been repealed and the military has implemented new gay-positive regulations. The Obama administration shook both sides of the issue when it announced that it would no longer support the Defense of Marriage Act in federal court. But California’s Proposition 8 remains in effect as the battle to overturn it continues. Gay families are under attack from bigots who want to deny us our rightful slice of the American dream. And thousands of binational LGBT couples continue to be ripped apart by discriminatory immigration laws. So, do we call the last year a wash for LGBT rights? No, not really. Because out there in popular culture, out there in polling land, and yes, even in some major churches, a tipping point seems to have been reached. Again and again, a slim but increasing majority of Americans have told pollsters that they now support marriage equality, which for better or worse has become the trademark issue of the LGBT rights movement. Our enemies have reacted with increasingly cruel campaigns, angered by the avalanche of public figures swinging their support to the side of justice. The mainstreaming of the LGBT rights movement has also had some unintended consequences. Fabulis CEO Jason Goldberg believes the failure of his gay social network was a direct result of the blurring of the distinction between straight and gay culture. As Goldberg tells Lucas Grindley (“The Rise and Fall of Fabulis,” page 80), “There is a great gay social network out there. It’s called Facebook.” Facebook’s addition of civil unions and domestic partnerships to its relationship status menu in February suggests Goldberg might be on to something. And we can’t overlook the resurgent RuPaul, whose three hit cable shows have become the obsession of millions of straight Americans, who were educated about the one of the most revered gay art forms and who (hopefully) learned some respect for transgender folks at the same time. Gina Vivinetto talks with Ru Paul about his life as a “work in progress,” on page 26. Another from-left-field success story came in the avant-garde form of pop princess Lady Gaga, who rallied uncountable numbers of her “little monsters” into the national battle for the LGBT equality. Gaga’s anthem “Born This Way” instantly topped the charts in most of the world, frustrating our enemies and sending millions of kids to school singing an infectious song in support of equality. Amazing. (Jonathan Rauch examines Lady Gaga’s genius at transcending polarizing categories in “Messenger for the Masses” on page 32.) Of course, we can’t pop the pink champagne on LGBT rights just yet. As William Urich of Interpride reports in “The Power of Pride” (page 60), homophobia and anti-gay violence are facts of daily life in many parts of the world; 76 countries still outlaw gay sex. Africa, in particular, is a hotbed of anti-gay hatred, and has come under increased scrutiny since the murder of Ugandan activist David Kato in January. In “The Lessons of Uganda” (page 74), Anne-christine d’Adesky documents how evangelicals in the U.S. are exporting an anti-gay proxy war to Africa, and how our community can better tailor our message to reach Africans and faith-based activists. For many of us, the absolute highlight of the last year has been Dan Savage’s It Gets Better Project, which he launched with his husband Terry last fall. Never before in the entire history of the LGBT rights movement has any project so resonated with the public. And never before did a sitting president of the United States record his own video message in support of gay kids. I had the privilege of speaking with Dan Savage about the unprecedented success of the It Gets Better Project (page 20). While the gay movement has many, many miles to go in the battle for full equality, what we saw in the last year was a historic shift in the popular culture. Never before has LGBT culture been out, proud, and front and center in the American eye. Surveys have long taught us that those who actually know gay people tend to be much more supportive of LGBT rights. We’ve got some heavy lifting to do in the courts and in the hearts and minds of millions of Americans. But events of the past year suggest that tipping point for LGBT rights may be closer than we would have dreamed.

On June 11, Anita Bryant, 1978 emboldened by her homophobic victories, was a candidate for the vice presidency of the 13-million-member Southern Baptist Convention at its annual meeting in Atlanta. While she serenaded the attendees inside a large auditorium, the city’s lesbian and gay community gathered outside carrying signs saying “Out of the closet and into the streets” and “Anita, judge not that you be judged.” She lost that election, but received a frightening 44 percent of the vote. Two weeks later, on June 25, the original eight-stripe version of Gilbert Baker’s rainbow flag was debuted in the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade. On Nov. 27, Supervisor Harvey Milk was assassinated by Dan White in San Francisco. That night, 30,000 people marched by candlelight

Pride11_Art4.pages.indd 90 5/26/11 8:45:16 PM EVE FOWLER Eve Fowler takes storytelling very seriously. So seriously, she showed a series of black photographs at the 2010 California Biennial based on Sigmar Polke’s 1975 Sao Paulo photographs, inadvertently taken in a gay bar. In Polke’s photographs, the subjects are so hidden by the darkroom process that they’re barely there. It started Fowler wondering about the ways in which erasure can lead to other types of visibility. So she printed her portraits into blackness, obscuring everything but the meaning of representation itself. In her companion piece, a wrapped collection of lesbian literature from the One Institute, Fowler contradicts this simple act of concealment with a six-page title that not only names each book, it includes credits, quotes, and synopses. Fowler is not only an artist of vision who sees photography in full dimension, she’s somewhat of an impresario in the L.A. art scene as co-founder of Artist Curated Projects with Lucas Michael and through her ongoing collaborations with artists such as Anna Sew Hoy, A.L. Steiner, and Math Bass. www.evefowler.com. www.artistcuratedprojects.com.
