Question of the Day: Netroots Nation 2011 Edition


What do you think are major issues in our community (LGBT)?  I mean, I can think of many and I'm sure you can too.

In one of our sessions, we were asked to discuss the five questions that beset in our community.
  1.   What are 5 key gaps in our movement?
  2. How can we engage more effectively across race/ethnicity?
  3. How can we engage more effectively across generations?
  4. How can we engage more effectively across faith/non-faith lines?
  5. How can we ensure the LGBT blogosphere is strong and well-funded?
We came up with tons of view points and answers. Here are a few of mine:
  • Some gaps are- social economic status, race issues, access to resources
  • Effective mentorship opportunities between elders and youngsters 
  • Better resources for LGBT seniors 
  • Stronger political awareness and understanding
  • Supporting LGBT writers and activists
But I would like to hear from you, because I want to engage y'all in this convo.

Let me know what you think.
