NCTE & NGLTF Conference

As many of you that I am associated with Connecticut Trans Advocacy Coalition ( CTAC ) and this weekend I am going up to Albany for a conference sponsored by National Center for Transgender Equality and by National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. The focus of the meeting is how to get passed anti-discrimination legislation to include Gender and Gender Expression in our respective states. So hopefully it will be a productive weekend.
Also CTAC is planning on producing “Tara’s Crossing” a play by Emmy-nominated writer Jeffrey Solomon. The play is based on the true story of a transgender immigrant asylum-seeker's remarkable flight from Guyana and her uphill battle to prove claims of persecution from within the confines of U.S. Immigration Detention Center. If all goes as planned we should be producing it in November at the Charter Oak Culture Center in Hartford.
