The name has been synonymous with Chicago for decades, during the 21 years Richard J. served as mayor, and during the 21 years his son, Richard M., has been the leader of the city. The Daley era, however, is set to end May 16, 2011, when a new mayor is crowned, and Daley retires. At that point, Daley will have served the city 22 years and 22 days, while his father made it to 21 years and eight HOWARD BROWN months. Daley sat down recently with Windy City Times to discuss his MOVING AHEAD relationship to the city’s LGBT community. Daley’s bold and brash style has angered some, pleased others, and PAGE 6 overall helped lead Chicago out of the Council Wars of the 1980s and into a more civil city of the 1990s and 2000s. But not all has been perfect, with critics upset over his handling of education, crime, police brutality and, especially in recent years, the selling off of valuable city assets, such as parking meters, and using those revenues for short-term gain.

  • Scorecard for Equal and Open Service
    Scorecard for Equal and Open Service Key Standards for Measuring ‘Equal and Open’ Service by Gay Troops in the Pentagon Work- ing Group’s Implementation Plan SEPTEMBER 15, 2010 University of California • Santa Barbara, CA 93106-9429 • (805) 893-5664 • www.palmcenter.ucsb.edu Scorecard for Equal and Open Service Key Standards for Measuring ‘Equal and Open’ Service by Gay Troops in the Pentagon Working Group’s Implementation Plan Introduction: The Palm Center has dedicated its attention in this Scorecard to the Pentagon Working Group‘s comprehensive report on the implementation repeal of ‗don‘t ask, don‘t tell.‘ While additional legal and legislative questions remain in 2010, a constant in this debate continues to be the December 1st deadline under which this report is due to the Secretary of Defense. Identifying the key standards for measuring what equal and open service means for gay troops is essential given that the Working Group‘s implementation plan will serve as the guiding document for the transition to a new policy for gay service members. Findings in brief: Based on the evidence and data provided by service members, veterans, experts and foreign militaries, the standard of equal and open service in any implementation plan should be addressed as a simple process and must include three factors: a.) an affirmative non-discrimination policy; b.) one standard of conduct and facilities; and c.) leadership at all levels. Background: The issue of equal and open gay service in the military has been among the most publicized issues in domestic policy since President Obama took office in 2009.

Stringer 1 THE CITY OF NEW YORK OFFICE OF THE COMPTROLLER SCOTT M. STRINGER COMPTROLLER Dear Friend: I am pleased to present the latest edition of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Services Guide – the most comprehensive directory of LGBTQ resources and programs in New York City. For members of the LGBTQ community, connecting to services geared towards their needs can be a challenge. Our Guide is intended to help individuals better understand the resources available, from hundreds of community organizations and health care facilities to counseling and support groups, recreational clubs, and much more. Throughout my career, I have been a strong and vocal supporter of LGBTQ rights. As an Assembly member, I was one of the first co-sponsors of a 1995 bill to enact marriage equality in the State of NewYork. When my wife and I married in 2010, we did so in Connecticut to protest New York’s continued discrimination against lesbian and gay couples. As Comptroller, I have continued to work hard to advance equality of opportunity for the LGBTQ community, and in the last year alone have succeeded in: • Implementing new Corporate Governance Principles and Proxy Voting Guidelines that expand the definition of board diversity beyond race and gender to include LGBT directors, as well as working with California’s Comptroller to encourage other fiduciaries to embrace similar policies.

Haley Veterans’ Hospital Veterans, staff, and visitors. The LGBTQSA SEP members worked with numerous internal and external organizations throughout Central Florida to bring this important information and list of resources to you. It is a fact, that while LGBT health care rights have greatly expanded over the past few years, public knowledge and understanding of these rights are limited. We hope that you will find this information helpful. We would also like to thank the James A. Haley Veterans’ Hospital & Clinics (JAHVH) Director for supporting this very relevant resource. Sincerely, The JAHVH LGBTQSA SEP Manager (813) 972-2000, ext. 7529 The information in this guide is valid as of June 2016. These resources were collected from numerous local and national sources. The contact information may change and require update over time; additionally, this booklet does not include all available sources. James A. Haley Veterans’ Hospital does not endorse these resources but has provided them as an example of services that may be useful to our LGBT community. 3 CRISIS HOTLINES Veterans Crisis Line The Trevor Project 24-Hour Hotline LGBT Youth Suicide http://www.veteranscrisisline.net/ 24-Hour Hotline 1-800-273-TALK http://www.thetrevorproject.org/ OR TEXT TO 838255 1-866-488-7386 Suicide Hotline Call 911 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433) Text Telephone (hearing-impaired) 1-800-799-4TTY (1-800-799-4889) En Espanol 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255) (press 2) GLBT National Help Center http://www.glnh.org [email protected] 1-888-THE-GLNH (1-888-843-4564) Monday thru Friday: Saturday: 4:00 p.m.
