| Abstract | This report details the activities of the APA Committee on the Status of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender People in the Profession over 2002-2003. It describes sponsored conference sessions and receptions as well as issues discussed like mentoring, domestic partner benefits, and lack of accessible undergraduate readings on diversity topics. A survey project on LGBT-related articles published across twelve philosophy journals from 1990-2001 is also summarized, showing low numbers in most mainstream journals. Committee membership changes are noted, and continuing concerns described like addressing implications of the article survey, sharing it with the Committee on Inclusiveness, and encouraging more publications. There is also discussion of affirmative action-related job posting practices. Overall the report conveys both the Committee’s efforts to support LGBTQ philosophers through sessions and mentoring as well as ongoing needs to boost publication venues and respond to survey results documenting gaps.
