Mattachine Society - Goals

Goals

The primary goals of the society were to

  1. Unify homosexuals isolated from their own kind;
  2. Educate homosexuals and heterosexuals toward an ethical homosexual culture paralleling the cultures of the Negro, Mexican and Jewish peoples;
  3. Lead the more socially conscious homosexual to provide leadership to the whole mass of social variants; and
  4. Assist gays who are victimized daily as a result of oppression.

Famous quotes containing the word goals:

    “I think that any woman who sets goals for herself and takes her own life seriously and moves to achieve the goals that she wants as a person in her own right is a feminist.”
    —Frances Kuehn (b. 1943)

    “Despicable means used to achieve laudable goals renders the goals themselves despicable.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “Whoever sincerely believes that elevated and distant goals are as little use to man as a cow, that “all of our problems” come from such goals, is left to eat, drink, sleep, or, when he gets sick of that, to run up to a chest and smash his forehead on its corner.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
