DNC Gay and Lesbian Leadershi
Council names new director
The Democratic National Committee
announced May 3 that Brian Bond has been
named as executive director of the committee’s
Gay and Lesbian Leadership Council.
Bond’s appointment came just one day after
Howard Dean, committee chair, fired Donald
Hitchcock, council director, in a move that drew
harsh criticism from some activists who believe
Hitchcock was fired in retaliation to public criti-
cism of the committee by his partner, Paul
Yandura.
A statement released May 3 said Dean has
“embraced an expanded vision of the [leadersip
council] as a program that integrates both politi-
cal and financial operations.”
The statement said Bond’s duties will include
coordinating political strategy related GLBT
issues, strengthening efforts to organize in the
community and leading the committee’s efforts
to consult with strong Democratic-allied groups
like the National Stonewall Democrats and reach
out to groups like the Human Rights Campaign
and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.
Palm Beach school district draws
criticism for website blocking policy
The Palm Beach County school district has
drawn criticism in recent weeks for a policy that
blocks access to GLBT websites while allowing
students to surf anti-gay sites, according to a
report published Tuesday in the Palm Beach
Post.
Students are allowed access to websites such
as the National Association for Research and
Therapy of Homosexuality site, the Traditional
Values Coalition site, the American Family
Association site and the Focus on the Family site,
all of which oppose GLBT rights. But sites sup-
porting GLBT rights, such as the Gay and
Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, Parents,
Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, the
Gay-Straight Alliance Network and Out and
Equal Workplace Advocates are all blocked from
the student’s access.
The censorship prompted the Palm Beach
County Human Rights Council to contact the
ACLU and Lambda Legal Defense and
Education Fund for help. James Green, a lawyer
with ACLU, said he plans to review the case.
“If their blocking software prevents kids, par-
ticularly middle and high school kids, from hav-
ing access to information about gay rights and
public health issues, but on the other hand allows
access to religious group websites that are hostile
to gay and lesbian legal rights and public health,
that constitutes censorship,” Green said.
Gay Games organizers fire executive
director just 10 weeks before event
With about 10 weeks left before the opening of
the Gay Games this July in Chicago, organizers
have fired executive director Brian McGuinness,
according to a May 4 report in the Chicago
Tribune.
The event’s board of directors replaced
McGuinness with managing director Christine
Snell, who was a board member, according to
Kevin Boyer, co-vice chair of the Chicago Gay
Games.
Boyer would not say why McGuinness was
fired, and the Tribune was unable to contact
McGuinness or Snell for comment.
