We got "the go" yesterday from the gentlemen who now own the art. I'm
waiting to hear from them to set up a time when John and I can go to
see and take pictures.

Triangle Foundation, (my employer) is Michigan's largest LGBT advocacy
organization. We provide victim advocacy services, work in policy to
promote LGBT-friendly legislation, provide youth programs, and
coordinate the state's largest LGBT events: www.tri.org.

Ruth Ellis Center is one of only four shelters in the country
specifically for LGBT youth. Roughly 40% of the homeless kids in this
country are LGBT; a good many of those are homeless *because* they're
queer and their families of origin refuse to accept them. REC provides
a drop-in center, a transitional living facility and an emergency
shelter to kids 13 and up: www.ruthelliscenter.com.
