Hey, I forgot to mention it before, but I'm happy to report I had another "Letter to the Editor" published in the Bay Area Reporter last week. Jessie says that I should simply start my own column. Isn't he sweet? Anyway, below is what I wrote:

Upon reading in Wayne Friday's April 5 column about the formation of an Asian/Pacific Islander Legislative Caucus in the Assembly now that there are three Asian American Assembly members, something occurred to me: why not form a lesbian and gay legislative caucus? We now have three open lesbian members of the Assembly so it would meet the standard for a minimum of three members. We could potentially have more in the future.

The legislative caucus would allow for formal recognition from the Assembly and provide a think tank on legislation impacting the community. Other caucuses began small when they first started and now have great influence and stature in Sacramento. Why not begin the same process now that we have three open lesbians in the Assembly?
