Greetings everyone, At the ASA Meetings in Boston this year, a general consensus was reached at the Forum on the Status of GBLT persons in Sociology that the ASA GBLTQ (Gay, Bisexual, Lesbian, Transgender, and Queer) Caucus needs to be revived, and several participants in the forum decided to take the initiative to lead the effort to revive the caucus. The Caucus shall serve several purposes, including, but not limited to: networking, mentoring, a site to voice concerns that emerge, and a channel through which to pursue collective action. One of the primary concerns raised in the forum was that the voices of people who are not members of the Sexualities section or who are not studying issues related to sexuality or gender identity/expression were severely under-represented. Thus, we would like to strongly encourage GBLTQ-identified individuals and interested allies/advocates who are members of other sections of ASA to join the GBLTQ Caucus listserv. The listserv is being hosted on a Google group. Thus, you may choose to receive a daily digest of all e-mails sent out in a given day, an abridged summary of daily activity, or individual e-mails. There are two routes that you may choose from in order to join the listserv: 1. You may go to the website at which it is being hosted and request to join: http://groups.google.com/group/asa-gbltq-caucus. Please make sure to submit your name, e-mail address, and institutional affiliation with your request to join. 2. You may also send an e-mail directly to the listserv manager, Tim Ortyl, at ORTYL001@gmail.com to request an invitation to join the listserv. If choosing this option, please also submit your name and institutional affiliation in your request. If you are not personally interested in joining the GBLTQ Caucus Listserv but you know people who would be, please make sure to forward this message to them. Best, Tim Ortyl GBLTQ Caucus Listserv Manager Department of Sociology University of Minnesota
