The Pennsylvania Rural Gay Caucus was “an association of interested individuals and groups, formed with the objective of promulgating the concerns and freedoms of gay people and all sexual minorities.” The report was used as a type of newsletter outreach to the Central PA LGBTQ community. In these meeting minutes the Legislative Committee reports on the Legislative Education Packet that was created called “Gay Legislation ’76, Pennsylvania,” which was an endorsement of Gay Rights. There was no new legislation introduced, and the committee discussed the next steps since “Hill’s Bill” was not able to be introduced in the Senate.
