2. You can't be serious

You’ve seen the list of women etc right? It’s very common for minority groups to keep track of who in their government is part of their community for a multitude of reasons. Yet alone in the LGBT group discussing politics.

3. "Lists" of LGBT, Jews, etc., is the same as a list of women? I hope it's you who can't be serious.

I won't be following this so you needn't keep this going, at least with me. But when people want "lists" of people based on something not visibly obvious, such as sexual orientation, religion, etc., it's just too nazi. It's something Stephen Miller might like, but not me.

8. First, "Jews" is capitalized! Second, not all lists are the same!

Many minority groups DO have "lists" of our people because it is a way to make sure we are being REPRESENTED! It is also to have a "list" as many will be the FIRST (especially openly) to serve in a variety of positions and that is historically important. Finally, your nasty tone seems to diminish the idea of keeping track of our accomplishments. Perhaps a miswording?

As a host, I will remind you, this is the LGBT group. We expect and will have our members respected!

I would also like to see the HIV/AIDS advisory board re-established.
