PRESS RELEASE November 29, 2004 |
areas of; art, music, education, leadership,
theatre, science, sports, literature, activism, community, philanthropy,
equality, and community support."
According to GLBT Hall Of Fame and StoneWall Society Network
founder, Len Rogers, "The 2004 U.S. election outcome and
worldwide pressure by various religious groups to undermine GLBT
Equality has created a feeling of despair and depression within the GLBT
community. We hope the GLBT Hall Of Fame can act as a means to
instill pride and conviction. The concept is a personal long time dream,
and I can think of no better time to realize this for community and
those recognized. Seeing our heroes, getting to know them, I hope will
bring a sense of pride and action to an emotionally damaged GLBT
community."
The GLBT Hall Of Fame is a community based program designed to
recognize and honor members and friends of the GLBT community
who through direct effort and action have made an outstanding impact on
the GLBT community and/or the worldwide community. It is our
belief that pride starts with knowledge. Therefore we hope to strengthen
the GLBT community sense of pride while paying respect to and
acknowledging the GLBT history and worldwide contributions. The
concept originated from countless inquiries at StoneWall Society www.stonewallsociety.com
on subject matters of GLBT history and community members.
The first Induction of Members will be held December 22, 2004 and
presented live on Rainbow World Radio. At present there are fifty-four
Standing Inductees for the December induction and fifty-eight Nominees
for membership. Contact and notification to available Standing Inductees
and Nominees is ongoing and should be completed by mid December.
Complete nomination criteria and induction information is available at
the website: www.glbthalloffame.com.
