Meet the Future

The Point Foundation, one of the top three recipients of my charitable giving*, has announced their 2006 Point Scholars:
“Our newest Point Scholars represent the best and brightest in our community, coming from diverse educational fields, genders and gender identities, sexual orientations, racial backgrounds, economic circumstances and geography,” said Bruce Lindstrom, Point Foundation Founder and Chair of the Board of Directors. “Our scholars are chosen for their demonstrated leadership, scholastic achievement, involvement in the LGBT community, and financial need. This year’s group of scholars far exceeded our expectations.”
As of June 2006, there will be 65 Point scholars currently in school and 12 alumni.
I challenge anyone to peruse the profiles of these remarkable young people and then suggest with a sane and sober tone that they somehow constitute the Others Who Are Ruining America™.
And if any of the Point Scholars happen to be reading this, I have only two words of advice for you:
And to the rest of you: please consider throwing a few coins at this wonderful organization.
*The other two are Lambda Legal and the ASPCA.
