Against Women Act to include gay, lesbian,
bisexual and transgender families.
“When you look beyond the federal leg
islative agenda, it’s important to note the fact
is that there’s a new tone by having Barack
Obama in the White House. We have wit
nessed eight years of an unfriendly adminis
tration setting anti-LGBT policy,” said Susan
Lamb, director of HRC’s Federal Club.
Lamb cited the successes of the Obama
administration’s initial 100 days, and its new
found inclusions. For the first time, the HRC

Pride Northwest
Announces 2009 Honorees
Pride Northwest has named Kendall
Clawson, Executive Director of Portland’s
Q_Center, Grand Marshal of the 2009 Pride
Parade.
Clawson owned a private consulting firm
in Massachusetts before moving to Portland
two years ago to take the reigns at Q.Center.
During her time in the position, Clawson has
won widespread support and admiration for
her work, quickly becoming a major figure in
Portland’s “Q2 community.
As Grand Marshal, Clawson will get a
place of honor on the Wells Fargo float in the
Sunday, June 14 parade.
Pride Northwest also announced Frank
Roa as recipient of the Spirit of Pride Award.
The title is given “to recognize individuals or
organizations and their outstanding contri
butions within the lesbian, gay, bi, trans and
queer community,” according to the Pride
Northwest website.
Roa received the award for his work as
director of human rights group Umatilla-
Morrow Alternatives. “Frank very much ex
emplified the spirit of the award,” said Pride
Northwest Board President Debra Porta. “He
has done consistently good work advocating
for people living with HIV in Eastern Oregon
and organized the first ever Hermiston Pride
event.”
Porta added, “He’s done all of that with
very limited resources and support, and has
really done amazing things.”
*
“We have to face a lot of discrimination here
in rural Oregon,” said Roa. “And it feels good
to know that work is recognized by the larger
community.”
