Before the ssn had even end, Sean O’Hara, a member of the Rotary Club of Lake Charl Happy Hour, Louisiana (and later the fellowship’s first print), had opened a Facebook group for LGBT people (lbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenr). To have a fellowship where I n meet and vis — virtually now — wh other gay Rotarians a pletely “out” environment really affirms that we are now pletely clud Rotary. The immediate goal was to work wh gay youth and gay senrs.

There would have been gay entertaers and a venue to highlight gay bs. Of urse, that meant there would not be a gay prence 2020.

I’ve also heard thgs like “why is Rotary dog somethg so polil” and “there are no gay people my muny. Once you start havg the nversatns both ternally and wh the muni your club serv, you will see that there are gay people every muny, and maybe already your club!
