The center James mentions is "HMI," the Hetrick Martin Institute, which is the home of the Harvey Milk High School in New York City.

Yes, James is attractive, intelligent, and one of the good and gifted youths we can point to with tremendous pride. And we must also recognize the marvelous work of the many educators, both publicly and privately funded (yep, get yer check books out!), who have helped our gay, straight, multi-spirited and enormously talented youth to come of age, and to grow into a physically fit and psychologically whole adulthood.

These children and young adults will certainly, in their time and in their own very remarkable ways, continue to contribute to the well-being of our world and to future generations.

Thanks also to Eric for bringing this very good news to the attention of Bilerico Project readers. Happy "double-dutching" to you!!
