		<description>Point well taken, and examination of the "About Us" page at 
http://www.paba.com/information.asp does pretty clearly mention "gay and lesbian"  in the third sentence, as does the mission statement.

However, you have to admit that it could easliy be missed compared to sites like these... 
 
http://www.gsdba.org/
http://www.aglcc.org/
http://www.glbasb.com/
http://www.gaybusiness.com.au/sglba/
http://www.glba.org/

and dozens of others where they actually feature the orientation aspect, instead of even mildly burying it. 

Anyway, no disrespect intended, I assure you, and thanks for posting!</description>

		<description>Either read the appropriately titled "About us" section, or take note of any of the organizations featured in the right hand column of the main page and the constant words "gay and lesbian" should have tipped off your colleague.  This organization is both a glbt org and a business org so both missions are given space on their site.  I don't know how this could have been more clear.  From their mission statement: "Portland Area Business Association exists to promote business and offer support to its membership, which is made up of Gays, Lesbians and their friends and associates in business."  Thanks</description>
