Subject: American Jewish Leaders in the Degenerate Homosexual Movement

This information was sent to me by someone who wished

to remain anonymous. I believe the facts to be correct as

stated, from what I know.

----------

Note: it is possible that a few of the people on this list are not

Jewish, e.g. a woman marrying a Jew. A question mark means

"not sure about Jewishness."

This list was compiled in 2002/2003. Organizational staff

members and directors change, so it is possible that some of

the information is outdated.
