Lawrence Nelson

Lawrence Nelson jumped into Activism starting at a student protest in 1977. But his LGBT activism did not get started till 1989 when his roommate at the time, a lesbian, took him to his first pride march. It was at this march that he saw the NYC chapter of PFLAG marching and knew that he needed to check them out and join them. He found them at the festival after the march and brought his first “Straight but not narrow” t-shirt. He would wear it over the next few years at many pride events. He went with her the next few years and marched with her with MCC. By the time she moved out to be with her lover he had started to march with the NYC chapter. He also wished that there was a chapter of PFLAG in Queens and was thinking of finding out how to start one.

Then in 1993 a pride march was started in Queens. It was at this festival that he told the people from the NYC chapter what he want to do and was told that someone else was already planning to start a chapter in Queens. He begged them to give that person his phone number. Later that month at the NYC march he reminded everyone from the NYC chapter of this and two weeks later he got a call…. It was from Jeanne Manford. She invited him to her home where he became a founding member of the Queens Chapter and at the first official meeting he was elected to the post of “Outreach/Media Chair” a post that he still holds.

Almost right away he started a newsletter for the chapter and a computerize mailing list to produce mailing labels. He then created an email account and became the chapter’s online contact. Later in 1996, he obtained a better email account that came with web space. We now had a webpage, and just this year he obtained for the chapter our own domain. Except for the newsletter, he still does all of this.

It is not only PFLAG that he is involved with. Since December 2000 he has been the web person and email contact for the New York Area Bisexual Network (NYABN). A job he did for Brenda [Howard] by himself till this past July then he got someone that will share the duties. For most of the same amount of time he has been doing the mailing labels for QLGPC.

He met Brenda at a “Center” orientation that came out to Queens in 1994. He was there for PFLAG and she was there for the NYABN. From that time on he would meet her two or three times a year first only during pride month then their “association” grew little by little over the years to be the whole summer. This went on till the 1999 where she would be over at his place more then at her own. So they decided to move in with each other this was in December 1999.

Right away he was doing activism work with Brenda. Helping her run many of the bisexual groups that she headed, including the NYABN. They would do this until her untimely death on June 28 2005.
