@ssica3003@bisexualindex It started life as the 'International Gay Association' - there were no women at the meeting in Coventry that created it 40 years ago! (I /think/ it was the same venue used for BiCon in 1989 and 2001.)#ILGA2019NZThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@ssica3003@bisexualindex It changed its name to the International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA) in 1986 - although they had about 30% women at the second meeting in 1980, they didn't want to add 'Lesbian' then.#ILGA2019NZThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@ssica3003@bisexualindex At some point after the early 90s, the name was changed to the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex Association, but they kept what had been the acronym as the shorthand version.#ILGA2019NZThanks.

@ssica3003@bisexualindex So it's a bit like the way that the 'GMB' no longer stands for the General Municipal and Boiler-makers Union in that ILGA no longer stands for International Lesbian and Gay Association...#ILGA2019NZThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
