Good afternoon everyone-
We have received a request from Gryphon Place to attempt to find individuals in same-sex couples who would be interested in serving on a focus group.  Gryphon is looking to begin offering mediation services for LGBT couples and would like some insight into the needs of this population.  The meeting is not yet scheduled but they are looking at early September, probably in the early evening.
Please let me know if you are interested and I will get your contact information to Gryphon Place.

i don't understand what this means.  what are the "needs of this population" as they pertain to mediation services?  i'm scratching my head here.
all we want is to be treated with respect.  respect for our lifestyles, respect for who are partners are... the same things that most straight people already receive but take for granted.
so, tell me what's so different about mediating for gay people as opposed to mediating for straight people.  just familiarize yourself with the rights that we do not have in regards to marriage, etc., then treat us the same as you would any decent human being.
