2010 GLBT January Mini-Challenge 01/18/2010
The request: What we'd love for you to do is take a moment to write a paragraph or two on why this challenge and/or this issue is important to you. The response: Mine is not some profound statement or even one touting my vehement belief in the need for equality for the LGBT community. I do think that members of this community should be able to live and love as they so choose. They're humans, with human emotions and desires, just like heterosexuals. But, my reasons are a bit more selfish. I simply like to be well read and saw this as another opportunity to read with purpose. I'd like to be more informed on this issue, especially as it relates to people of color, and beyond what I've seen on two wonderful TV shows ("The L Word" and "Noah's Arc"). So, cheers to the challenge that dare not speak its name. Check out the GLBT Challengeto join. ![]() Comments01/22/2010 9:22am

Foxy Brown, I'm no expert on this but two of the books I'm reading for the challenge are Zami by Audre Lorde and The Other Side of Paradise by Staceyann Chin. Also, I found this website that might be just what you're looking for: http://sistahsontheshelf.com. HTH.

I totally agree with everything you said. Both about belief in equality AND wanting to be well read. :)
