After all of the LGBT Rights debates in Colorado – I wanted to pass this along to everyone about a great meeting that took place.

Aggressive new vision offered for achieving LGBT Equality Dallas Meeting results in forward thinking document

Dallas, Texas —  Over this past weekend, twenty-four influential donors, activists, and thinkers came together to discuss achieving full equality faster for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Americans.  The result of the meeting was the production of a document known as ‘The Dallas Principles.’

The document is meant to raise the bar on expectations for the gay rights movement for all stakeholders, including:  LGBT Americans, allies, elected officials, advocacy organizations and the media.  ‘The Dallas Principles’ articulate a vision statement, principles, a common set of goals and a call to action designed to inspire and mobilize the LGBT community, allies, and political leaders to act individually and collectively to achieve full civil rights now.  

Participants in the Dallas Meeting believe that the nation has embraced unprecedented change, including full civil equality for LGBT Americans.  All Americans who share in this vision are asked to endorse the principles on the website, http://www.thedallasprinciples…
