Welcome to LGBT Compassion!
We are a coalition of San Francisco Bay Area gay animal advocates (and some non-gay friends) working to promote awareness of animal welfare, health, environmental, and civil rights issues within our community - along with any other important social issues that we feel strongly about.
We feel that the LGBT community, having experienced discrimination, oppression and suffering ourselves, having special health issues, and often having unique bonds with companion animals, should be open to learning and helping others who may not be able to speak up for themselves - whether human or non-human.
Here's a great article about the connection between animal subordination and racism (which, of course, also applies to the oppression of LGBTs).
