I think that to purposely exclude the T is to take a great big piss on the origins of the Pride movement itself. Yes, there are other organizations for Transpeople, but that is because of transphobia in the LG community. I agree that addressing the trans issues will take more than letters on a website, but the exclusion of those letters tell me that hell may freeze before they do it. The culture of organizations telegraphs itself in the smallest of gestures, after all.
