Committee on Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Concerns Advocacy Campaign

PPO launched a coordinated grassroots advocacy campaign with the APA Committee on Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Concerns (CLGBC) in Summer 2004 to oppose discrimination against same-sex families. CLGBC members Beverly Greene, PhD, Gary Harper, PhD, MPH, Christopher Martell, PhD, Glenda Russell, PhD, and CLGBC liaison Gladys Croom, PsyD, met with their senators’ staff to provide psychological research on same-sex families and relationships and voice opposition to discrimination against lesbian and gay couples as proposed by the Federal Marriage Amendment.
