The International Order of the Rhinoceros.
I am trying to learn about founding an gay adult male Service and Fraternal Organization (called a Friendly Society) like the Order of the Eagle or the Moose, called the International Order of the Rhinoceros. How I'm going to do this, where I will find the information, I don't know. I'm trying to find info online. I think I should go to Barnes and Noble and read up on it. The Rhinoceros is an old symbol of the gay community. This is the quote from Lambda.org "As Toal put it, 'The rhino is a much maligned and misunderstood animal and, in actuality, a gentle creature.' But when a rhinoceros is angered, it fights ferociously. At the time, this seemed a fitting symbol for the gay rights movement. Lavender was used because it was a widely recognized gay pride color and the heart was added to represent love and the 'common humanity of all people.' The purple rhinoceros was never copyrighted and is public domain."So that's my new project, besides Jenny's website, CMQ, Queer Peer, Centesis, getting done with the teacher's ed program, the Office, moving in, et cettera et cettera et cettera...
