    2019 International Gay and Lesbian Aquatics Championships Welcome Welcome to the 2019 International Gay and Lesbian Aquatics Championships! Whether you have traveled here from another part of New York, another state, or another country, we are thrilled to have you here in New York City. Every IGLA marks a special occasion for the LGBTQIA+ family and allies W to come together and compete in aquatic sports with other athletes from around the world. This year is particularly noteworthy because in addition to competing we are honoring Stonewall’s 50th anniversary. We hope that in between your swims, dives, and matches you take a moment to recall the courage of those who stood up for our civil rights 50 years ago. On behalf of the entire Team New York Aquatics Community, thank you for supporting IGLA 2019. Sincerely, The Board of Directors, Team New York Aquatics 1 Brief History of TNYA Team New York Aquatics proudly celebrates its 30th anniversary as a full USMS team in January 2020. As of today, we have grown to just under 500 members competing in swimming, water polo (1991), T diving (2011), open water (2015), and synchronized swimming (2016). Workouts are spread across the city with as many as four per day. We organize an annual hour-swim fundraiser benefitting local AIDS and other charitable groups, sponsor a biennial “Aquapalooza” swim meet, host the popular “Hole Drive” water polo tournament, an annual swim camp, and numerous team-bonding activities. During the 1980s, prior to its formal inception in 1990, the team’s early growth could be marked by the number of Gay Games participants: 1982, three; 1986, eighteen; 1990, forty-eight.

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.

This year’s Guide includes information for well over 100 community groups offering LGBTQ-led and -centered services, from health care and counseling to arts and social networks.

As an Assembly member, I was one of the first co-sponsors of a 1995 bill to enact marriage equality in the State of New York.
