Hello, my name is Leland Traiman
The best word to describe me is: introspective extrovert. Favorite historical movement: Women's suffrage My inspiration: I Joined the Impact because... I chaired Berkeley's 1983 Domestic Partner Task Force which wrote the world’s first domestic partnership policy enacted into law. I founded Rainbow Flag Health Services & Sperm Bank (www.GaySpermBank.com) and successfully defended the rights of gay sperm donors against the FDA. I was the coordinator of the Berkeley Gay Men's Health Collective of the Berkeley Free Clinic in the 1970's and ran Prospective Queer Parents for 10 years throughout the '90's. I live with my husband of 20 years and our two children, ages 10 and 4. Articles published: "Guidelines But No Guidance" in the University of Iowa's law journal, the Journal of Gender, Race & Justice, Spring 2006 about the FDA's attempt to stop gay men from being sperm donors. "A Brief History of Domestic Partnership" in the Gay & Lesbian Review, July 2008.
