"Attacks on NAMBLA stink of politics, witchhunting for profit,
humorlessness, vanity, anger and ignorance ...
I'm a member of NAMBLA because
I love boys too -- everybody does, who has a little humanity."
~ Allen Ginsberg, poet.
"An Icon of American Letters" "Despite his status as an icon of American letters, Ginsberg remains controversial. The recent sale of his collection of memorabilia to Stanford University became an explosive topic when the executive board of that august bastion of conservatism discovered his relationship with NAMBLA." Nevertheless, Stanford reportedly paid Ginsberg over $2 million for his manuscripts and memorabilia.
