Suggestions for speakers on LGBTQ health & domestic violence issues? [eotw]

I'm helping to organize UCSF's conference on domestic violence for healthcare students/professionals this year, and we're looking for more speakers. In particular, we'd like to have someone (or someones!) come present on & lead discussion about domestic violence issues in LGBTQetc communities. As medical students, we get very little training on

Maybe un-lock this post so I can point a few people at it? :)

Done, please pass it on!

I'll probably re-lock it in a week or two; for a couple of reasons I prefer to keep almost everything here not-so-publicly-available.

I could do a panel like this with friends, actually, having done some activist work around DV myself. My email = queershoulder@gmail.com

Also, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, editor of "The Revolution Starts at Home: Responses to Partner Abuse in Activist Communities" is brilliant (and way more experienced at giving these kinds of talks than me). Her email = brownstargirl@gmail.com

Also, CUAV (Communities United Against Violence) has a whole wing dedicated to this work.

Also, SFWAR (SF Women Against Rape).
