What it is that some say, Inclusion does not necessarily represent endorsement...?

Well, on this site it does. So please consider the following organizations, friends, and colleagues hereby endorsed. I hope you will visit their sites if you are so inclined.

I can't proclaim that everything about each one is whole and right and true - but I can't proclaim the same about myself, or anyone else I know, either. Rather, let me say that each of the folks and groups linked herein holds a true kernel of wisdom, something precious, and glowing - something worth the journey.

Note: Please be aware that these categories are somewhat arbitrary...
