The LGBT Task Group of Broward County is asking you to stand up and make your voice heard.


The LGBT Task Group of Broward County is asking you to stand up and make your voice heard. Please go to www.lgbtcensus.com
to participate in South Florida's first comprehensive census and needs assessment of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning community.

This year we celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, an event that marks the beginning of the struggle of our community for full equality and protection under the law. Those freedoms inherent in our Constitution have not been handed to us on a silver platter. As with the struggle of women and African Americans, we have to stand up, be heard and demand those rights. For too long we have hidden in the background out of fear and shame. It is only in making our voices heard that we begin to change attitudes and laws.

Participation in The Count is another step in that direction. The confidential data and statistics from THE COUNT will be used by local government agencies, health and human service providers and LGBTQ organizations to:

• Increase the awareness of the needs of the LGBTQ Community.
• Affect public policy on quality of life issues.
• Indentify gaps in services for the LGBTQ Community.
• Provide resources for program development and funding for the LGBTQ Community.
