Men of All Colors Together (Boston)
The Boston Chapter of Black and White Men Together (BWMT-Boston), or Men of All Colors Together (MACT-Boston) as their chapter would come to be known, was founded on June 10th, 1980 as part of The National Association of Black and White Men Together (NABWMT) making it the first interracial gay organization on the East Coast. 〔Boston Back And White Men Together News Letter, Vol. 1 No. 4, 1981 Men of All Colors Together Boston Records (M 68) University Libraries Archives and Special Collections Department Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts Box 3, folder 1〕 The two major goals of the Boston chapter of MACT were to continue combating racism, particularly within the LGBT community while simultaneously fighting to end homophobia in society as a whole. 〔http://www.glbtq.com/social-sciences/black_white_men.html〕 After NABWMT was founded in May of 1980, Boston became one of the early adopter cities to create a chapter within the year along with New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Memphis, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, and Milwaukee. 〔Black & White Men Together: Milwaukee Chapter|url=http://www.mkelgbthist.org/organiz/social/bwmt.htm|website=Wisconsin GLBT History Project〕
==Naming the Chapter==
In December of 1987 the group elected to change the name of their chapter from Black and White Men Together, to Men of All Colors Together. After having originally chosen the name for the shock value the name began to become less reflect of their mission. They felt that the BWMT name was not inclusive enough and may discourage men of other races from joining. Nor did the name challenge discriminatory norms of society other than black-white racism. They arrived at the conclusion that MACT embodied their organizations main focus of encouraging interactions between all races and fighting discrimination and homophobia in all forms. By this time chapters in New York, Connecticut, and Cincinnati had already adopted the MACT name. Other NABWMT chapters also chose to change their name adopting People of All Colors Together or PACT.
