About DQ:
Digital Queers is a new national organization of computer technology
professionals dedicated to serving the lesbian and gay community through
service, visibility, and activism. Members come from all over the high
technology industry including Adobe, Apple, Borland, General Magic, Hi-Tech PR,
IDG, Lotus, Microsoft, Opcode, Quark, Quorum, Radius, SuperMac, XChange, and
Ziff-Davis. DQ grew out of the "Lavender Hill Mob" MacWorld Expo parties of the
last three years. This year's event promises to be the best yet.

About NGLTF/Policy Institute:
The NGLTF Policy Institute works to eradicate prejudice, discrimination and
violence based on sexual orientation and HIV status, and is committed to
organizing and building a grass roots gay and lesbian movement that reflects
the diversity of the community serves.  The national resource center and
clearinghouse for everyone seeking help, information or support to win and
protect the rights of lesbians and gay men, the Task Force will celebrate its
20th anniversary in 1993 as the oldest national gay and lesbian civil rights
advocacy organization.

The NGLTF Workplace Initiative is a volunteer-driven effort based in San
Francisco to address the needs of lesbians and gay men in the workplace
including domestic partner benefits, non-discrimination policies and visibility
issues.


About the fundraiser:
DQ's first major goal is raise money and product to replace the antiquated
computers at the Task Force so that they can work more effectively with the new
administration in Washington, D. C., and with grass roots organizations around
the country. The majority of their computers are 8088 machines that are nearly
a decade old! We will replace them with Laptops, Macs, 386 and 486 machines
with enough speed and power to run modern communications, publishing, database,
accounting and productivity software; provide that software; modernize their
network; get new printers; and train the staff.  All proceeds from this party
will go directly for new equipment.  That's why DQ created the NGLTF Policy
Institute Computer Capital Campaign.
