The 25th National Conference on LGBT Equality: Creating Change will be held in Atlanta, GA at the Hilton Atlanta, January 23–27.
Creating Change is the annual organizing and skills-building event for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and their allies.
The conference is run by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF),and attracts more than 3,500 people from all over the country every year. Presenters and participants come from all walks of life and include members of the business community, elected officials, students, faith leaders and staff and volunteers of non-profit organizations.
Creating Change honors one Leatherperson each year in a big way. The 2012 recipient of one of the Creating Change Awards was Viola Johnson. The 2013 recipient will be announced later this year.
The five-day program will feature over 350 workshops and training sessions, four plenary sessions, and tons of networking opportunities.

The Leather Journal was founded in May, 1987. The Leather community was hungry for news magazine that covered clubs, organizations and events. TLJ has successfully met that need for 34 years. We have adapted to change more than once and when the Internet came about we were there by adding www.TheLeatherJournal.com
