San Francisco Can Start Right Now To Become Number One. We Can Set Examples So That Others Will Follow. We Can Start Overnight.

I Can Only Hope That They'll Turn That Anger And Frustration And Madness Into Something Positive, So That Two, Three, Four, Five Hundred Will Step Forward, So The Gay Doctors Will Come Out, The Gay Lawyers, The Gay Judges, Gay Bankers, Gay Architects I Hope That Every Professional Gay Will Say 'enough', Come Forward And Tell Everybody, Wear A Sign, Let The World Know. Maybe That Will Help.

All Young People, Regardless Of Sexual Orientation Or Identity, Deserve A Safe And Supportive Environment In Which To Achieve Their Full Potential.
