    For Release Wednesday, December 16, 2009 More info: Peter Montgomery 202-744-0941 See list of expert contacts at end of release New Report Documents ‘Decade of Progress’ on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Equality in America Study points to dramatic gains between 2000 and 2009 SAN FRANCISCO – As the decade draws to a close, a new report shows the past 10 years have been a period of dramatic gains in equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in America. Two-thirds of the 36 statistical indicators compiled in A Decade of Progress on LGBT Rights showed significant advances, including sharp increases in the number of LGBT Americans protected by nondiscrimination and family recognition legislation at the state level. Just over a quarter of the indicators were negative, and two showed mixed results. The report is a joint project of the LGBT Movement Advancement Project and the Evelyn & Walter Haas, Jr., Fund. The report is available at www.lgbtmap.org. “The remarkable achievements toward LGBT equality tend to be obscured by day-to-day struggles, and overall progress often goes unnoticed nationally” said Linda Bush, Executive Director of the LGBT Movement Advancement Project (MAP). “By looking broadly at the last decade, this report gives a much fuller perspective on where we are today -- and how far we’ve come in just ten years.” “From over 50 years of supporting causes that help advance equality, we understand that making meaningful change requires time. But these facts make it clear that equal rights for gay people are advancing at an exceptional rate,” said Ira Hirschfield, President of the Haas, Jr.

  • Subjectivism in Ethics
    CHAPTER 3 Subjectivism in Ethics Take any action allow'd to be vicious: Wilful murder, for instance. Examine it in all lights, and see if you can find that matter of fact, or real existence, which you call vice ...You can never find it, till you turn your reflexion into your own breast, and find a sentiment of disapprobation, which arises in you, toward this action. Here is a matter of fact; but 'tis the object of feeling, not reason. DAVID HUME, A TREATIS'E OF HUMAN NATURE (1740) 3.1. The Basic Idea of Ethical Subjectivism In 2001 there was a mayoral election in New York, and when it came time for the city's annual Gay Pride Day parade, every sin• gle Democratic and Republican candidate showed up to march. "There is not a single candidate who can be described as not good on our issues," said Matt Foreman, executive director of the Empire State Pride Agenda, a gay rights organization. He added that "In other parts of the country, the positions taken here would be extremely unpopular, if not deadly at the polls." The national Republican Party apparently agrees; at the urging of religious conservatives, it has made opposition to gay rights a part of its national stance. What do people around the country actually think? The Gallup Poll has been asking Americans "Do you feel that ho• mosexuality should be considered an acceptable alternative lifestyle or not?" since 1982, when 34% responded affirmatively. The number has been rising, however, and in 2000, a majority- 52%-said that they think homosexuality should be considered acceptable.

Zwerling: Bias Crimes LEGISLATING AGAINST HATE IN NEW YORK: BIAS CRIMES AND THE LESBIAN AND GAY COMMUNITY INTRODUCTION In recent years, crimes of violence, threats, and vandalism, in which the defendant's conduct was motivated by hatred, prejudice, or bias based on a victim's actual or perceived race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation, have increased at an astonishing rate.1 Moreover, the level of violence of these attacks, evincing bias, is more severe than its non-bias counterpart. 2 The purpose of this Comment is to explore and discuss the nature of the bias crimes, with particular attention to those crimes directed against the lesbian and gay community. The Comment will examine the statistical data available on bias crimes against the gay and lesbian community, the need for bias crime statutes to include sexual orientation as a protected category, and the constitutionality of hate-crime legislation.
