In his own words . . .
"To deny a child an education is to deny that child potential in life. We founded the The Point Foundation to give greater potential to LGBT leaders which in the end, will provide the world with greater understanding and support of our culturally diverse, creative, loving, caring and intellectually rich communities.
The Point Foundation stands at the forefront of the next logical step in the LGBT community: Investing in our innate intellectual and academic capital and growing it, to insure that the future is filled with progress, greater equality, protection and hope."
