Penn State To Start LGBT Magazine
By artlynentertainment | November 11, 2009 - 10:19 am - Posted in LGBT support group/ctrs

From poetry and prose to artwork, a new literary magazine aims to provide the Penn State community with a glimpse of what it really means to be a part of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender culture.

Out & About OUT is a new project organized by Undertones, which provides LGBT individuals a safe place to discuss issues they encounter on a day-to-day basis.

The magazine, set to publish its first issue in March 2010, will contain fiction and non-fiction stories, poems and artwork concerning the emotions those in the LGBT community felt when they came out.

Although the group is still in the beginning stages of creating the magazine, its members hope Out & About OUT will be a creative outlet for the LGBT community, Undertones President Lianna Newman (senior-media studies) said. She also hopes the magazine will help the organization reach out to students at Commonwealth Campuses.

Trouble For Key West G&L Community Ctr
By artlynentertainment | - 1:29 am - Posted in LGBT support group/ctrs

Key West’s Gay and Lesbian Community Center is undergoing significant changes while addressing financial problems and working to retain the public’s trust.

When Denise Hudson took the reins as GLCC board president in April, she called for the 11-year-old nonprofit’s first-ever audit, which showed the group’s financial records did not account for more than $100,000.

“There was just something that was not computing with our financial records,” Hudson said Monday.

She added that the GLCC had applied for a grant from the Klaus Murphy Foundation, and during the application process, representatives from the foundation called the center’s financial records “squirrely.”

“It was very embarrassing, and trust is such a huge thing for nonprofits,” Hudson said, explaining why she ordered the audit by the Coral Gables accountants. “It quickly became apparent that over the past several years, things were just not taken care of properly.”
