Description: "The Lesbian and Gay Police Association was founded in 1991 by four Chicago Police Officers (Mary Boyle, Dorothy Knudson, Sue Sasso, Karen Conway) who felt it was time that Lesbian and gay officers had an organization of their own. The original purpose was to support gay and lesbian police officers- who were mostly closeted at that time. Numerous lesbian and gay law enforcement organizations nationwide have come and gone but the LGPA continues to strive as a result of Kathy Dore’s diligence in preserving the organization when she became LGPA President in 1993. The LGPA is dedicated to promoting solidarity and upholding Human Rights, providing support and social interaction for its members and to promote understanding between the police and the LGBT Communities through education, communication and charitable acts." -- fromw website, 2021.03.11
