Greater Boston Lesbian and Gay Political Alliance brochure and letter (1988)
“But we need your help to continue the struggle against injustice and discrimination in 1988.”
In July 1987, the Massachusetts Senate initially granted approval of a gay civil rights bill; however, during the third reading in December 1987, the bill was killed. In 1988, the Greater Boston Lesbian and Gay Political Alliance made passage of the gay civil rights bill one of its top priorities, citing increasing discrimination and violence against gays and lesbians. Endorsing progressive candidates was a primary method for the Alliance’s political action. From the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Political Alliance of Massachusetts records.

GREATER BOSTON LESBIAN AND GAY POLITICAL ALLIANCE P 0. Box 65, Back Bay Annex, Boston, MA 02 777 Dear Friend of the Alliance, The Greater Boston Lesbian and Gay Political Alliance is the state's largest and most active political organization devoted to fighting for your rights. Since 1983 we have worked to educate our community on the need for political activism, monitored the system for abuses of our human dignity and civil rights, and brought our issues to the forefront of local politics by endorsing and working to elect supportive candidates. In 1987 we witnessed-a dramatic increase in anti-lesbian/ gay violence. The Alliance was there to blow the whistle. Last year 600,000 gay men and lesbians were cheated of their civil rights when the Senate bottled up the state gay rights bill. The Alliance initiated statewide gay and straight progressive coalitions that gave us clear majorities in both homes of the legislature for the first time ever. But we need your help to continue the struggle against injustice and discrimination in 1988. By contributing to the Alliance you will be ensuring that committed activists will be able to continue to work to make gay and lesbian pride a way of life and not a mere parade slogan. Your membership in Alliance '88 is essential if we are to achieve the following goals: • passing the Massachusetts gay/lesbian civil rights bill • combating violence against lesbians and gay men • endorsing and electing progressive candidates • making the system respond to the needs of our community We need your help to ensure the success of our struggle for civi human dignity. Join Alliance '88 today! Acting Executive Director 2 .;; .3CJ 0 �
