The Tangent Group is the registered d.b.a of the Homosexual Information Center [HIC], an independent nonprofit organization devoted to a continuing inquiry into the nature, circumstances, and social issues of homosexuality. The HIC was established in 1965 by a majority of the legally elected board members of ONE, Incorporated and was legally founded in Los Angeles, California in 1968 by Don Slater, “Tony Sanchez,” Billy Glover, and Jim Schneider.

The HIC's objective is clarification and eventual settlement of the issues surrounding homosexual persons and behavior. Our procedure is to generate, gather, organize, make available, and broadcast ideas between and among homosexual and non-homosexual people regarding the facts and opinions regarding human sexuality.
