{"value"=>"<p>ADODI was founded in 1987, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by Clifford Rawlins. The name ADODI is a Portugese word borrowed from Yoruba which means \"homosexual black man\"; Rawlins used this name to point to the failure of the word \"gay\" (particularly white gay culture) to contribute meaningfully to the Black homosexual experience. ADODI chapters spread from Philadelphia to other cities, including New York, Washington, D.C., Detroit, and elsewhere.</p>"}
