At 30 years old, Funders for LGBTQ Issues releases
40 Years of LGBTQ Philanthropy
As 2012 marks our 30th year of advocacy in the sector, Funders for LGBTQ Issues is pleased to announce the publication of Forty Years of LGBTQ Philanthropy: 1970 - 2010, a new report documenting the amount and character of the first 40 years of U.S. foundation support to LGBTQ communities. At 40 years and counting, LGBTQ grantmaking has played a significant role in the fight for LGBTQ rights and equity. In total, through community, public, family and private foundations, U.S. grantmakers have invested more than $771 million and nearly 36,000 grants in LGBT issues from 1970 - 2010.

(Visit here to download the report.)
 A new report by the Center for American Progress, Jumping Beyond the Broom: Why Black Gay and Transgender Americans Need More Than Marriage Equality, reveals that "while some states and the federal government continue to expand protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, more than half of all states still deny them basic civil rights. Such systemic inequities render people of color who are also gay and transgender among the most vulnerable in our society." (Visit here to download the report.)
"Hispanic Lesbians and Bisexual Women at Heightened Risk or Health Disparities" A recent study published in the American Journal of Public Health found Hispanic lesbian and bisexual women tend to be at a greater risk of worse health outcomes than Hispanic heterosexual as well as white lesbian and bisexual women.
