WELCOME TO GLAD's NEW WEBSITE - Redesigned January 2009
The Gay and Lesbian Association of Decatur, Illinois was formed in February of 1993. Monthly socials have been held the second Saturday of each month since then. Although all the original founders of GLAD were gay men, they wanted GLAD to be a diverse group and inclusive of woman. The GLAD constitution urges that there be a balance in the make-up of the GLAD Executive Board which oversees the organization. Participation in GLAD is about equality between men and women.
