\n\t\tCongressman Barney Frank to deliver keynote address
\nat annual symposium on gay, lesbian issues at 溏心vlog免费B站
\n
\nKINGSTON, R.I. — February 27, 2002 — Congressman Barney Frank will be the keynote speaker at the Eighth Annual Rhode Island Symposium on Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (GBLTQ) Issues to be held at the Kingston Campus of the 溏心vlog免费B站. The symposium, crammed with panels and roundtables on relevant issues, runs Thursday, April 4 through Saturday, April 6. Unless otherwise indicated, all events are free and open to the public.
\n
\n\tFrank, who will speak on Friday night April 5 at 7:30, has represented the Fourth Congressional District of Massachusetts since he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1980. Frank is the senior Democrat on the Housing Subcommittee. In addition to housing, the Congressman has focused his efforts on opposing discrimination, providing fair treatment for immigrants, improving both the quantity and quality of healthcare in the U.S. and in formulating an international economic policy that combines support for economic growth with respect for economic fairness and environmental protection. He frequently writes about politics with an emphasis on how people can best seek political change.
\n
\nFrank is gay and has not only advocated for gay rights but continues to champion civil rights wherever they are threatened.
\n
\n\tThe theme of this year\u2019s symposium is Identity, Ideology, and Terrorism. After the events of September 11, Americans are forced to examine the fact that terrorism now plays a significant role in their lives. For GBLTQ individuals, terrorism is nothing new. The goal of this interdisclipinary symposium is to examine how terrorism \u2013 whether overt homophobia, culturally sanctioned censure, religious oppression, internal fears, or other representations — have shaped the identities and ideologies, past, present, and future of GLBTQ individuals and issues.
