Gay & Lesbian Tourism Conference - Los Angeles - March 2004
The 5th International Conference on Gay & Lesbian Tourism will
open on March 22, 2004 to a capacity audience. Why? Because in an otherwise sluggish, tentative--even shrinking--travel industry,
gay and lesbian vacationers have not slowed down at all. In fact, in an online survey of 510 gay and lesbian travelers, taken
October 1-15, 2001 (i.e. post-9/11), respondents indicated they'd be taking as many vacations in the coming 12 months as in
the past 12. For 66% of them, that means three or more vacations per year. In fact 63% indicated no decrease of travel spending
and 28% indicated they will actually increase their vacation budget over the coming year.

Sorority of Beta Phi Omega Sorority, Inc. We are a National
Feminine Minority/Multicultural Lesbian Sorority that reigns in
Carnation Pink, Ice Blue and Pearl White. Although we cater to
feminine lesbian women we do not discriminate against bi-sexual,heterosexual
women, or any race. We feel that it is ultimately wrong to deny
anyone the right to be interested in a sorority such as ours.
There are many women that would love to participate in the many
volunteer activities that are present in our gay and lesbian communities.

Due to the overwhelming response from the article printed today in the Wave Newspapers entitled
"Black, Out and Gay," Earl Ofari Hutchinson (KPFK, Liberation Radio) of the National Alliance for Postive Action has called
a "round table" meeting in the African-American community for Saturday, August 2, 2003 in Los Angeles at Coley's Restaurant
to discuss tolerance in the African-American community as a whole with LGBT people of African descent.
