GLBTRT News

The Spring 2013 GLBT Round Table Newsletter shows how busy round table members were during Midwinter–determining awards, creating lists, discussing censorship, and finalizing the list of candidates for the next GLBTRT Executive Board. More information in the newsletter includes publicity for the Stonewall awards, discussion items on the round table’s email list, book summaries, brief obituaries, and upcoming events.

Thanks as always to Nel Ward and the GLBTRT Newsletter Committee for a great issue.
