Letter from Edra Bogle to John Hill, September 23, 1978

Texas Gay / Lesbian Task Force

Bogle, Edra; Hill, John

Originally formed as the Texas Gay Task Force, the TGLTF was the first statewide gay/lesbian organization in Texas. Organized in 1973 for the purpose of planning annual conferences (until 1990), the TGLTF served as the parent organization for the Lesbian/Gay Democrats of Texas and the Lesbian/Gay Rights Advocates.

Letter from Edra Bogle to Texas Attorney General John Hill about the subject of gay rights in TX. Bogle speaks about her previous support of Hill but expresses dismay over comments that Hill made about the repeal of 21.06 (law that legalized discrimination against gay individuals in Texas) during a recent state convention. She asks Hill to consider the fact that people should be policed in their own homes and that being in a gay relationship means breaking the law, which can cause social and emotional issues for gay individuals.
