Washington, D.C.—On Friday evening, January 19, The National Gay and
Lesbian Task Force and the National Stonewall Democrats will host "Applauding
Progress," an event to honor the gains made by the gay, lesbian, bisexual and
transgender community under the outgoing Clinton-Gore Administration.
"President Clinton appointed more openly gay and lesbian people to his administration than all previous presidents combined," said NGLTF Executive Director Elizabeth Toledo. "These appointments resulted in real, tangible gains for our community--more funding for local community centers, more funding for non-violence projects and more access for our community into the highest echelons of government." "As we face an uncertain future on the federal level, it is important to realize the concrete and historic advances we have made during the past eight years," said Michael Colby, Executive Director of National Stonewall Democrats.
