		To Have and To Hold:  Organizing For
			Our Right to Marry

	Over the holiday weekend, I read "To Have and To Hold", NGLTF's
22-page manual on "Organizing for Our Right to Marry".  It is a thoughtful
and thorough guidebook, written and edited by Robert Bray and Beth Barrett.
Somehow they managed to capture this particular transition in the life of
our national community. 

	The manual may be purchased for $11 from NGLTF Policy Institute,
Publications Department, 2320 17th St. NW, Washington, DC 20009.

						Happy New Year!

P.S.  The Hawaii Equal Rights Marriage Project, HERMP, is the sole support
of the work of Dan Foley on Baehr v. Lewin (Foley is the attorney who makes
all court appearances on behalf of the plaintiff couples).  Please be generous
in support of HERMP; Hawaii is a small state, and the tiny gay and lesbian
community here is very active in advocacy work which HERMP cannot address.
Donations to HERMP are fully tax-deductible, and should be made out to
GLCC-HERMP, 1820 University Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96822.
 
      The HERMP branch in Kona, on the Big Island, has produced a T-shirt
for sale.  One can send a check for $16.50 to HERMP, P.O.Box 902, Captain
Cook, HI 96704, together with a note about being sent a T-shirt (S, M, L,
XL, XXL).  It is also available in a tank top.  The design is multi-color
on white.  A large triangle points down, with the letters h.e.r.m.p above
the triangle, some male-male, female-female symbols in the border of the
triangle and some palm trees.  To place an email order for T-shirts, or
to obtain more information, please email skippero@aol.com   Thank you!
