Black Trans Group Demands Resignation of W. Hwd Council Member

This is pretty much a local issue, but does highlight the frequent disconnect between the various factions of the LGBT Community here.   When I served on the WeHo Trans Advisory Committee (a three year stretch) there was only one Black trans member.

This hits close to home for me in several ways.  The council member they want out also caused some major problems for the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles about 2 years ago when he had been on their Board of Directors (he ended up resigning pending a vote to remove him.) 

 

I have not encountered any real problems in the area myself, but do have a lot of people in the community who have experienced the exclusion that was reported.  On the other hand, I admit I have not been attracted to much of the club type night life, but when I have I have noticed that the racial exclusion or bare tolerance was there, and was aware on one or two occasions of "<negative word for Trans> Jokes" being told where I was meant to overhear them.  This is a serious issue going on today as far as exclusion goes.  In the past three years I must admit that my feelings for the We.Ho. Transgender Advisory Board have gone down considerably.
