Gay groups are mobilizing members and reaching out to donors to help the victims of the Haiti earthquake.

?As lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, we know and have seen the power of a family standing together in support, and the pain of it falling away,? the LGBT Community Response to the Crisis in Haiti Fund says in its plea for donations. ?Being part of the human family also comes with responsibility to our larger family. Today, our Haitian brothers and sisters are facing an enormous crisis and need our support.?
