I do think is should be pointed out that Kevin didn't discuss "what MCGLOs are about". He stated why a statement that I have seen over and over again carries an implication that he doesn't like. The GLOs in question may not have meant to imply that other GLOs don't respect multicultural members, but I have to agree that I have a similar reaction when I read some MCGLO material.
I have far too many sisters of every size, shape and hue to believe that my GLO doesn't value women for those things we share - our intellect, our character, our love for one another - and doesn't discriminate on the basis of our differences.
I'm all for right of association. If you find sisterhood in a GLO that emphasizes your particular culture then good for you. The more, the merrier. But I do wish MCGLOs would emphasize their missions without seeming to have to imply that they and only they offer a multicultural sisterhood or a sisterhood that will embrace the pnm's culture.
