meetings will facilitate our lobbying efforts. The process of involving
the broad diversity of our numbers will insure the flow of communica-
tions, if we remember that our goals are usually quite similar and that
it would be simpler to go towards them in unity, rather than a single
file of just one segment of our "family."
Core groups must be formed to monitor the voting records of our
legislators at the state level and at the national level. Gay business
groups should continue their pursuits, but can be heartened by the
tremendous support group of the whole community, in terms of the
contributions to the culture of the country. With their expertise in the
business fields, these persons can initiate many fact finding methods
for a continuous push on behalf of lesbian and gay rights.
If we can harness our energies to set policy for our own organiza-
tion, we can have the influence we need to stride towards freedom.
Many will say that the time is wrong. Such a judgement has been the
stock retort to anybody's attempts to make their lives meaningful.
Lobbying is a process of public relations that must be done'again and
again. Thus, if we begin to offer the opportunity to the various seg-
ment of our community, then we can be assured that there will be a
flow of information, a resurgent energetic component from the com-
munity, and a lasting pride of having affected the movement in a
positive sense.
The single most important aspect of Constituency Lobbying is that
we will no longer be in the closet of political activity, but will be
gathering our strength and speaking out about our destiny.
The 15th day of October, 1979 will say to the world that we are
unified, that we are dedicated, and that we demand our freedom
