| 12/19/08 | Ancestry.com is not inclusive towards GLBTQ Community. | This week I saw an ad for Ancestry.com so i decided to check out their website. As I did the free sample I noticed that you must select male/female when you register and then based on your gender input you get to add a wife/husband of the opposite sex. I was upset by this and being inspire to cause an impact I sent this letter: ------- Hello, I was starting to use your site but noticed a few things that are alienating and discriminating towards people who are not Straight. First of all if you identify as male or female, only people of the opposite sex are offered as husband or wife. Marriage Equality is law in Massachusetts and Connecticut and therefore your tree is not accurate. In addition some people may have spouses without being married. In addition, there are people who don’t identify as male or female. Why not add an “other” category? Thank you |

| 1/9/09 | brooklynartproject.com has a binary gender field, which is a requirement to sign up. | Hi Brooklyn Art Project! I really love your site. Such a great idea! When I created my account there was an issue I encountered. One of the required fields is gender, and there are only two options there. So you're missing out on many great artists and arti enthusiasts that could join your site that can't because there's no box there for them to check, and no option NOT to choose. One way you can solve this issue is to have the gender field be filled in, similar to other fields. Thanks for your concern in this matter. I look forward to hearing from you. Peace, Willow | Sent this out today. Will report back as soon as they reply. | ||
