Section IV: Section on Sexual and Gender Diversity

History

Section IV was formed in 2003 as the section on “Lesbian & Bisexual Women’s Issues.” In 2010, we changed our name to the section on “Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Concerns” to be more inclusive of transgender and gender-variant women. In 2021, the name was changed to "Section on Sexual and Gender Diversity."
