Hello, everyone! My name is Megan and I’m a communications volunteer for Indiana Equality Action. I’ve been thinking that I’d like to start doing a roundup of some of the links related to LGBT news items that come up during the week to post on our blog. Some of these will be links that we’ve Tweeted or posted on our Facebook page, but some will be entirely new. Below is my first attempt at trying to put together the types of stories, editorials, and galleries I’d like to start collecting and categorizing and I’d love feedback if you have any. Is the focus too broad? Would a different format work better? Is this something you’d like to see continue? Is the whole thing unnecessary or do you find it helpful when organizations like ours have a link archive? Please feel free to use the comments section to leave your take on this idea as well as any links to news, personal essays, videos, etc. published 11/19-11/25 that you’d like to contribute.
Thank you!
-Megan
