I want to point out a potentially over looked achievement. To the best of my knowledge, the Gay Homeland Foundation is the longest continuous organization specifically devoted to Gay self-determination. This is an accomplishment worthy of some pride. Historically, organizations devoted to LGBT self-determination have been short lived. Individuals seem to have a tendency to quickly lose momentum when results are inevitably not immediately apparent. I admit that I find this somewhat perplexing considering that historically, nations are built over the course of a few generations (at least) rather than a few months or years. Nonetheless, that is the pattern. However, unlike its processors, GHF has held together thanks in large part to the long term commitment of a dedicated few. Those of you who have persevered deserve to be saluted!
