SI has sent a message that it’s okay to sprawl semi-nude photos_in their magazine as long-as thephotos are of women only.

Spin Examines Hate Music In the August issue of the music magazine Spin, :Farad Chideya examines the use of homophobic lyrics in hip-hop, rap and dance hall reggae music. Chideya concludes that the blatantly homoph0bic lyrics of Such performers as Ice Cube, Big Daddy Kane, and Chubb Rock are an attempt to deny the existence of homosexuality within the/African American community. The author also takes.note of pro÷gay/ lesbian rappers, including female rapper Yo Yo and the rap duo Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, whose sing(e "Language of Violence" railed.against gay bashing. To effectively counteract musical hate speech, Chideya argues that more performers need to come back with their own response, using rap as the format.

In "No Apologies~ No Regrets," author Joan Morgan profiles Jamaican singer Buju Banton and seeks to legitimize the reggae singer’s homophobia on cultural grounds.. Benton’Ssong "Boom Bye Bye" openly advocates murdering gay men. Tobe more specific, Baton calls upon listeners to shoot gays thrrugh the head. In her unbalanced discussion of Banton and his gay-bashing hit, Morgan manages to dredge up endless stereotypes about Jamaican gay men--that they are child molesters, rapists, classist leaches, and even that their sexual activities lead to incest, decapitation and death. Not one gay Jamaican.was quoted in ,esponse to such-hateful absurdities. The basicpremise of Morgan’s article is. that homophobia is an essential and integral part of Black culture..

The Media Access Project: Playing Fair Legislation to reinstate the "Fairness Doctrine" is now pending in Congress. Before it was disbande.d in the midst of deregulation hysteria, the Fairness Doetrine required broadcasters to provide balanced coverage of "controversial" issues of public importance. Conservative radio talk show hosts’ and other media hate mongers (i.e,; Rush Limbaugh and clones) are spearheading an effort to defeat this legislation. The Media Acc.ess Project is encouraging the lesbian, gay and bisexual communities to support the Fairness Doctrine bills in the House of Representatives and Senate (H.R. 1985 and S. 333). The Media Access Project asks you to contact your Senators and Representatives in support of these bills (U.S. Senate, Wash- ingtOn, DC 20510, tel. 202-224-3121; U.S. House ofRepresentatives, Washington, DC 20515, tel. 202-225-3121).

Their .hands, soccer balls andtrophies were strategically placed. , Since when has SI tlad any qualms about running photos of semi-nude indi, viduals? .After all, this is the same magazine that earns its keep through annual sales of the "swimsuit issue," which features semi-nude women in various Obviously, Sis decision to reject the Adidas ad was based on nothing but sexism, homophobia’s constant companion. SI has sent a message that it’s okay to sprawl semi-nude photos_in their magazine as long-as thephotos are of women only. Forillustrating sexism, homophobiaand hypocrisy, direct criticism to Mark Mulvoy, Editor, Sports Illustrated, and Roger Jackson, Public Relations Director, Time,Inc.,Time and Life Building, Rockefeller Ce~nter, New York, NY 10020. Spin Examines Hate Music In the August issue of the music magazine Spin, :Farad Chideya examines the use of homophobic lyrics in hip-hop, rap and dance hall reggae music. Chideya concludes that the blatantly homoph0bic lyrics of Such performers as Ice Cube, Big Daddy Kane, and Chubb Rock are an attempt to deny the existence of homosexuality within the/African American community. The author also takes.note of pro÷gay/ lesbian rappers, including female rapper Yo Yo and the rap duo Disposable Heroes ans, ga~.men and transgendered persons. of African, Afro-American, Afro-Caribbean, and Afro-Latin descent. In an open letter to Vibe magazine, numerous lesbian, gay and transgendered activists of African descent roundly denounce the conclusion "that. those who shun music or musicians who espouse homophobia do so out of racism or culof Hiphoprisy, whose sing(e "Language : tural insensitivity" and furthermore, they of Violence" railed.against gay bashing. To effectively counteract musical hate speech, Chideya argues that more performers need to come back with theirown response, using rap as the format. Send compliments to Bob Guccione, .Jr., Editor, Spin, 6. West 18th Street, New York,NY 10011. Bad Vibe The October issue of Vibe magazine includes a scurrilou~ bit of journalistic phlegm. In "No Apologies~ No Regrets," author Joan Morgan profiles Jamaican singer Buju Banton and seeks to legitimize the reggae singer’s homophobia on cultural grounds.. Benton’Ssong "Boom Bye Bye" openly advocates murdering gay men. Tobemorespecific, Baton calls upon listeners to shoot gays thrrugh the head. In herunbalanced discussion ofBanton and hisgay-bashing hit, Morgan manages to dredge up endless stereotypes about Jamaican gay men--that they are child molesters, rapists, classist leaches, and even that their sexual activities lead to incest, decapitation and death. Not one gay Jamaican.was quoted in ,esponse to such-hateful absurdities. Thebasicpremise ofMorgan’s article is. that homophobia is an essential and integral part of Black culture.. Of course, her definition ofBlack culture excludes lesbipoint out, "the decision of Vibe’s Editor~ In-Chief Jonathan Van Meter to publish so biased and defamatory a piece clearly illustrates that not all powerful, gay white men value or respect 0~r lives." In defending Buju Banton, Joan Mor-" gan joins in his hate-filled campaign and has allied herself with those whopromote hatred rather than understanding~ Criticism should be directed toJonathan Van Meter, Vibe, 205 Lexington Ave., 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10016.

Before it was disbande.d in the midst of deregulation hysteria, the Fairness Doetrinerequiredbroadcasters to providebalanced coverage of "controversial" issues of public importance.

Wearing an ’Tin not gay but my .girlfriend is" t-shirt, Beth is defmitely an out lesbian. Reactions from others in the household demonstrated their own prejudices and curiousities; providing a clear comparison to the intelligent and upfront Beth.

Feature writer Karen Catchpole describes Smith’s "commitment to growing as an actor," explaining that hejust hired his first acting coach and "is taking his best shot at becoming a bone fide movie star" by playing the lead in the upcoming fdm version of Six Degrees of Separation. However, the "actor" shows few signs of growth when it comes to homophobia.. Smith’s character in Six Degrees of Separation is gay. When he accepted the role, Smith knew that the script called for an on-screen kiss with another man. However, when the time came to shoot the scene, Smith refused. "I just couldn’t do it," Smith said. "I mean, I’m an actor. I can sit there with a greasy smile on my face and act like I kissed a man. But it’s different when you actually, physicaily, kiss a man. It wouldn’t have been acting. It would have been real. I have kissed girls on-screen. I could work that out. The difference is how people perceive it. If I’d kissed a guy and then went home, they’d be like, ’Yo, man. Why’d you do that?’ And I’d be like, ’You know, Man. I’m an actor. I was acting.’ Andthey’dbe like :Yo, man. You kissed a dude. Something’s wrong with you, man.’ I just didn’t want to hear that." Let’s just ignore (for now) why Smith is so worried that if he "actuaily, physically, kissed a man," he would not have been acting but that "it would have been real." Perhaps be’s just suffering from the common hetero-anxiety that straight men can become gay men just by touching or kissing another guy in "that way." Perhaps not. In any case, Smith’s attitude demonswates a remarkable lack of semi, tivity. For Smith, apparently, acting is not a means for expanding awareness but reinforcing ignorance.

Before Shortly before Gene Roddenberry’s death, he met with members of The USS Lambda, a lesbian and gay Star Trek fan club in Los Angeles. At this meeting, Roddenberry stated that, since there was virtually no racism in his 24th century TV world, he doubted that there would, be any homophobia either. He agreed to include openly (and umnistakenly) gay and lesbian main characters on Star Trek: The Next Generation as well as other Trek spin-offs. After Roddenberry’s death, his succes~rs promised to follow his wishes and develop lesbian, gay and bisexual characters. Star Trek: The Next Generation is now in its f’mai season and we have yet to see any openly queer figures on the show. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine has begun its second season; though there are representatives of widely diverse cultures--from shape shifters to Ferengi--there seems to be no room. for lesbian or gay characters on the Bajoran space station. Isn’t it about time that Star Trek really went where no one has gone before?

The legal record already contains case, Post .v. the State of Oklahoma in which current sodomy law was ruled inapplicable io heterosexual citizens. This is contrary to the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Cons~tution which guarantees all Americans, among other things, equal protection of the laws.

The Project is looking for someone who has been accused of municipal offenses such as offering-to. engage in lewd acts; as tong as the charges do not involve minors or prostitutiot~, and the defendantis without legal representation. Alternately, the ACLU would also like to assemble a group of indMduals which would include both Gay men and Lesbians who wish to challenge the state statute.

Feature writer Karen Catchpole describes Smith’s "commitment to growing as an actor," explaining thathejust hiredhis first acting coach and "istaking his bestshot atbecoming abone fidemovie star" by playing the lead in the upcoming fdm version of Six Degrees of Separation. However, the "actor" shows few signs of growth when it comes to homophobia.. Smith’s character in Six Degrees ofSeparation is gay. When he accepted the role, Smith knew that the script called for an on-screen kiss with another man. However, when the time came to shoot the scene, Smith refused. "I just couldn’t do it," Smith said. "I mean, I’m an actor. I can sit there with a greasy smile on my face and act like I kissed a man. But it’s different when you actually, physicaily, kiss a man. It wouldn’t have been acting. It would have been real. I have kissed girls on-screen. I could work that out. The difference is how people perceive it. If I’d kissed a guy and then went home, they’d be like, ’Yo, man. Why’d you do that?’ And I’d be like, ’You know, Man. I’m an actor. I was acting.’ Andthey’dbe like :Yo, man. You kissed a dude. Something’s wrong with you, man.’ Ijust didn’t want to hear that." Let’s just ignore (for now) why Smith is so worried that if he "actuaily, physically, kissed a man," he would not have been acting but that "it would have been real." Perhaps be’sjust suffering from the common hetero-anxiety that straightmen can become gay men just by touching or kissing another guy in "that way." Perhaps not. In any case, Smith’s attitude demonswates a remarkable lack of semi, tivity. For Smith, apparently, acting is not a means for expanding awareness but reinforcing ignorance.

Before Shortly before Gene Roddenberry’s death, he met with members of The USS Lambda, a lesbian and gay Star Trek fan club in Los Angeles. At this meeting, Roddenberry stated that, since there was virtuallynoracism in his 24th centuryTV world, he doubted that there would, be any homophobia either. He agreed to include openly (and umnistakenly) gay and lesbian main characters on Star Trek: TheNextGeneration as well as other Trek spin-offs. After Roddenberry’s death, his succes~rs promised to follow his wishes and develop lesbian, gay and bisexual characters. Star Trek: The Next Generation is now in its f’mai season and we have yet to see any openly queer figures on the show. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine has begun its second season; though there are representatives of widely diverse cultures--from shape shifters to Ferengi--there seems to be no room. for lesbian or gay characters on the Bajoran space station. Isn’t it about time that Star Trek really went where no one has gone before?

The legal record already contains case, Post .v. the State of Oklahoma in which current sodomy law was ruled inapplicable io heterosexual citizens. This is contrary to the Fourteenth Amendment ofthe U.S. Cons~tution which guarantees all Americans, among other things, equal protection of the laws. ACLU of Olda- .homa, in conjunction with the mission of the Oklahoma Human Rights Project, seeks to nullify the inequity of the sodomy law through litigation.~ In order for this stated goal to be accomplshed, plaintiffs are needed to make a legal challenge. The Project is looking for someone who has been accused of municipal offenses such as offering-to. engage in lewd acts; as tong as the charges do not involve minors or prostitutiot~, and the defendantis without legal representation. Alternately, the ACLU would also like to assemble a group of indMduals which would include both Gay men andLesbianswho wish to challenge the state statute.

No matter how much time passes, the pain of losing our son never seems to diminish. The understanding 'tl:;iat he was taken from us simply because he was gay only adds to the confusion and pain. Since bis death, my husband and I have devoted our ,lives to promoting acceptance and understanding in communities, churches, schools, workplaces - anywhere we can get people to listen, so that we can help end discrimination and hate against our gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLB1) friends and family. Soon after Matthew's death, Dennis and I started the Matthew Shepard Foundation to help raise awareness. We felt that as allies to the GLBT community, we had an opportunity to make a difference. Although many GLBT people enjoy welcoming workpiaces and accepting families and communities, many still do not. -And it is all Americans, regardless of sexual orientation or religious beliefs, that we need standing with us today to create a truly accepting culture based on equality for every citiz~n. Because hate and discrimination has so personally affected my family's life, I know how critical HRC's work is to everyday pepple. When you join us, know that you'll be standing with over 600,000 Americans who will not tolerate discrimination of any kind in our constitution, in our schools, our workplaces, our places of worship, or our communities. HRC is not just an organization "for" GLBT people. It is an organization for all people who believe we can create a wodd where acceptance and diversity are welcomed and nurtured. Rep.

Oklahoma City; Oklahoma_ The Oklahoma House of Representatives has passed a resolution that would ban books on gay families from the children's sections of public libraries. The measure does not have the power of law but calls on Oklahoma libraries to "confine homosexually themed books and other age-inappropriate material to areas exclusively for adult access and distribution." It passed, 81-3 and now will be distributed to library boards across the state. The resolution's sponsor, Rep.

This bustling city of 30,000, sometimes referred to as ''Little San Francisco" because of its hilly streets, fringes Gastineau Channel and lies beneath the sheer faces of Mt. Juneau (3,600 feet) and Mt. Roberts (3,800 feet). There are no roads in or out of Juneau (all travel here is by boat or plane), which is about 600 miles southeast of Anchorage and 900 miles northwest of S~attlc. If you're guessing that secluded Juneau isn't exactly a gay mecca, you're correct,· but gay visitors will hardly find themselves alone here. Although Alaska's one of the most conservative states in the Union, its capital city is an educated, outdoorsy place. It's home to the Southeast Alaska Gay & Lesbian Alliance, whose website (www.seagli.org) offers plenty of great information for visiting "family." Juneau also claims one of the most respected regional theaters in the country, the Perseverance Theatre. This first-rate company has produced such enlightened fare as _Hedwig and the Angry Inch_ and _Angels in America_; the 2005- 2006 season will include _Hair_ and _The Laramie Project_. Juneau also has several excellent art galleries and a local GLB'I' Pride Chorus that performs at a variety of venues. Most folks come to Juneau for one primary reason: to enjoy the great outdoors. The region lacks the frosty climate for which interior Alaska is known, with average temperatures in the 20s and 30s in winter, and in the 60s and 70s in summef. The city does experience plenty of rain, averaging as much 100 inches of annual precipitation (the worst of it in autumn). The driest and most pleasant months arc April through June. Keep in mind, however, that cruise ships dock in Juneau from mid-May through mid-September - good news if you're planning sightseeing excursions, as many of the touring outfitters in town operate only at this time; and bad news if you're put off by the sight of massive 20-story ships looming over downtown and unleashlog a torrent of pasty and portly passengers. That being said, if you're a fan of cruises, note that the gay-and-lesbian tour operator RSVP is offering an Alaska cruise in September 2005, and also that lesbian-oriented Olivia Cruises occasionally offers Alaska trips. Among Juneau's myriad outdoors activities, visiting a glacier tops the list. The simplest way to do this is to drive out to the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center, which sits just 10 miles north of downtown and contains some excellent exhibits on this hulking glacier, which you can view from a nearby observation area: You can hike right on the glacier by booking a helicopter trip through Northstar Trekking. A chopper lifts passengers and a guide up to Mendenhall Glacier, first circling over the massive Juneau Iceficld (which covers some 1,500 square miles, extending from Juneau well into British Columbia), then depositing everybody onto the glacier. Next your guide straps crampons (ice spikes) onto your shoes and leads you on a hike over the ice, with its eerie blue pools and streams. For a truly intensive glacier experience, opt for an all-day hike with Above & Beyond Alaska, whose friendly and knowiedgeable guides will lead you up a trail ..................... continued pg· 12 Page 11 Overexposure to Dan~rs can lead to vision problems ... .. . ·. ¢ ~aay!

The company also offers ice-climbing, rock-climbing, whalewatching charters, and water~taxi services. There's really no better way to understand the glacial process, which carved out much of North America during the last Ice Age, than to hike across one of these huge floes of ice - it's an unforgettable experience. Another fun opportunity for glacierviewing is taking a Wings Airways flightsecing trip to Taku Glacier Lodge. . You fly by seaplane from downtown Juneau's harbor over Taku Glacier and land in an inlet beside the rustic 1923 lodge, where you can enjoy an impressive salmon bake and roam the trails behind the lodge. It's not uncommon to spot a black bear in these parts. In fact, wildlife sightings are extremely likely around Juneau; keep your eyes peeled for moose, bald eagle~, blue heron, scoter ducks, mountain goats, whales, and marmots to name a few of the region's frequently observed fauna. Hikers will find dozens of great treks, · from scrambling up the backside of Mt. Roberts (you can also take the_ Mt. Roberts Tramway directly up the mountainside from downtown, but hiking is more fun) to strolling through a lush rain forest in North Douglas to walking among the ruins of a vast mining ghost town in Treadwell. You can hike most of the trails easily on your own by asking locals for directions, but if you want to learn about the flora, fauna, and history while you hike, consider a guided tour. Gastineau Guiding Company offers some of the best day-hiking trips as well as delightful kayaking tours around pristine Admiralty Island. Finally, you can rent your own kayaks or canoes from Alaska Boat & Kavak. Invariably, if you spe~d more than a few days in Juneau, you'll encounter a rainy day or two. If the weather is grim, pian a visit to the exceptional Alaska State Museum, which provides an excellent overview of Juneau's indigenous Tlingit heritage and culture, or a tour of the Alaskan Brewing Co., which turns out some of the tastiest brews in the region (and serves free samples, of course). For a small city, Juneau has plenty of excellent restaurants. In the historic Fisherman's Wharf building, both Doc Water's Pub and the Hangar serve outstanding food. Doc Water's is more casual, with outdoor seating and such tasty treats as halibut ceviche and salmon burgers. The Hangar turns out both pub fare (excellent halibut tacos) and more ce>smopolitan dishes, such as Dungeness crab cakes. Head to the airy and attractive Twisted Fish for designer pizzas and refined but still affordable food, from ahi' spina·ch salad to oysters on the half shell . Across the channel in Douglas, the new Island Pub serves creative steaks and seafood dishes as well as both savory and "dessert" pizzas (among the latter, try the apple pie pizza with mascarpone, sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and walriuts); it's right by the Perseverance Theatre. Overlooking Auke Bay Marina, not far from Mendenhall Glacier and the attractive campus of the University of Alaska Southeast, locals convene at the Hot Bite for creative short-order fare ' (from Thai peanut chicken sandwiches to green-chile cheeseburgers) and the most luscious milkshakes around, available in 16 flavors. This is a great town for coffee lovers. The funky Silverbow functions as a topnotch java house, bakery, bagelry, indiefilm theater, and six-room boutique hotel (with reasonable rates and upbeat decor, to boot). It's right in the center of town and draws an eclectic bunch. A couple of blocks away, Rainbow Foods is a superb gourmet health-food shop that also has a small coffee bar. The popular local chain, Heritage ·cafe, is another great option for coffee, wraps, sweets, and wireless Internet. Although Juneau lacks a gay bar, the Hangar tends to draw a mixed bunch to its lounge area, and you'll also sometimes find like-minded souls at the bar inside the funky Alaskan Hotel and in downtown's Triangle Bar. As for choosing a place to stay, luneau has few cookie-cutter chain ;ccom~odations - even the larger properties, such as the historic Baranof Hotel (which is also home to the elegant Gold Room restaurant) and the contemporary Goldbelt Hotel, have their own quirky personalities, Perhaps the gay-friendliest property in town, Crondahl's B&B is ........... cont. pg-26 Page 13 ·- ~J({l?l!lS,l/ ti/Ir-el Serving our community in Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Illinois & Colorado This Is Shelter Country.

Page 18 Won!'t Somebody Think of the Children? In 1977, the Miami-Dade County Commission passed an ordinance making it illegal to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. Anita Bryant, a wellknown pop and gospel singer, qui'1kly launched a virulently anti-gay campaign she called "Save Our Children." Purportedly, the point of her group was to save children from recruitment by homosexuals, employing stereotypes and lies in support of her cause. She made claims such as "If gays are granted rights, next we'll have to give rights to prostitutes, and to people who sleep with St. Bernards, and to nailbiters," and "The recruitment of our children is absolutely necessary for the survival and growth of homosexuality. Since homosexuals cannot reproduce, they must recruit and freshen their ranks." She used God and religion to stir up a backlash of hatred and anti-gay violence. Six months after the ordinance was passed, voters overturned it by a ·wide margin. If all of this sounds eerily familiar, that's because it should. Obviously, religious conservatives have remembered their successes and they're once again pulling many of the same tricks. You may recall Republican Senator Rick Santorum's comments on .a radio program when commenting on the Lawrence vs. Texas sodomy law case in 2003 when he claimed, "If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual [gay] sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything." He went on to compare homosexuality to bestiality as well. It almost sounds as if he was channeling Mrs. Bryant, doesn't it? We are once again living in an era of rampant anti-gay sentiment. Browsing LGBT news sites is not for the faint of heart these days. It seems like every day gay rights receive another blow. Politicians become bolder and bolder in their assaults. Once again, religion and "moral values" are being used to demonize and attack gays and lesbians. And once again, children are often the focus. On May 10, the Oklahoma House of Representatives passed a resolution banning books on gay families from the children's sections of public libraries. The measure does not have the power of law but calls on Oklahoma libraries to "confine homosexually themed books and other age-inappropriate material to areas exclusively for adult access and distribution." It passed, 81-3. The resolution states that a child's development "should be at the discretion of a child's parents free from interference from the distribution of inappropriate publicly cataloged materials" and that public libraries should not expose children to material "that mav be deemed harmful and inappropriate." '· The furor began when an Oklahoma City mother became upset after her child brought home King and King, a children's fairy tale book about a prince who falls in love with another prince. King and King is aimed at elementary school children and helps teach diversity. The book, by Linda De Haan and Stern Nijland, tells the story of Prince Bertie who searches for love through a bevy of eligible princes before falling for Prince Lee. The thirty-two page book ends with the two princes sharing a kiss. Rep. Sally Kern called the book "obscene." Libraries across the state have already pulled the books from the children's sections and, in some cases, created entirely new sections specifically for the offending materials. In Troy, Michigan, a poster in a high school classroom has created an uproar from concerned parents. The inflammatory poster's message? "Gay people are everyday people.'' Page 19 Heart to Heart_ Approximately eighty protesters are expected at the next school board meeting. Ironically, the poster has been on display in the classroom for two years. So far the school is defending the poster, claiming, "We do not allow our students to be harassed for any reason. It is an issue of tolerance." Patricia Raezler, a member of Parents Promoting Innocence in Bloomfield Hills, which supports Troy parents in the poster issue, said the school shouldn't be promoting sexuality of any kind. "\Ve are promoting innocence," said Raezler, whose children attend private school. "Once, these types of things were left up to the parents. Then there was a push to inform and let pupils know about sexuality. It hasn't decreased sexually transmitted diseases." Somehow, it is completely incomprehensible to these people that promoting tolerance and understanding of gay people has absolutely nothing to do with sex. It has everything to do with bigotry and discrimination. In their rush to paint gays as evil sinners, the religious conservatives have forgotten one important fact. While Anita Bryant's campaign was successful in overturning the civil rights ordinance, she also succeeded in mobilizing LGBT people across the country. Thousands marched in the streets of San Francisco, New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New Orleans. Countless individuals came out of the closet, and numerous new local organizations sprang up. Most famously, the LGBT community launched a boycott of Florida orange juice, for whom Anita Bryant was spokesperson, that gained widespread support. It's time for us to rise up again. We have to fight these mean-spirited and immoral attacks. We need to make our voices heard. We can start by pointing out the absurdity of their arguments. Promoting rolerance of an abused minority has nothing to do with sex. Loveiy and charming books like King and King are not obscene, harmful, or inappropriate. And two consenting adults choosing to express their love for one another in a healthy manner has absolutely no c;ortelation to ioce9t, bigamy, or bestiality. . It's time we stop allowing the Religious Right to decide what is and isn't "moral." Whose standards are we using? When did the United States become a theocracy? And when did Conservative Christianity become the State Religion? What if my religious beliefs don't hold that homosexuals are sinners? What if I believe that spreading hate in the name of God is a sin? \X:'hat if I believe that denying a minority their basic civil rights is an immoral abomination? It's time we save the children of America from the hateful teachings of self-righteous bigots. In the immortal words of Mrs. Lovejoy, "Won't somebody think of the children?" Quotable Quotes "A straight man knows that if he knocks a woman up, he's on the hook for child-support payments for 18 years.

The movie which evervone has heard about Alexander, with ~ breath of fresh air, Colin Farrell, is a mu;t see. Well, kittens, 1 had to tell you, this man is a walking dream. Not only is he good looking, and a free spirit. Uncle heard a rumor that he had a nude scene pulled from another movie, because his how do you say, manhood, was just overwhelming. I heard from sources however, that he took it like a ma1.1,... simply throwing it over his shoulder and walking to wardrobe. That is a class act Kittens. Dear Uncle: I have known I am gay since I was sixteen. While, I have kept my familv in the dark about my lifestyle, since going to collage, I have been feeling guilty, and disconnected fr?m them. I would love to tell them about my happiness. However, I fear that they will not handle. the news well. Any advice on breaking it to them gently? · College-queen · Dear Queen:. W~ll, let's se~. You could send them. a postcard announcing your sexuality and ong? 11;1g e~u~atlon ~t man academy 101. Kitten, relax uncle is just joking with you. First oft kitten, lifestyle refers more to the social and environmerital choices we have as individuals. You have to realize that homosexuality is not a choice, it is simply who we are born ~o be. You want to make sure that you are accurately informed, so that, you can help them accept and educate themselves as well. Realize before you tell, that afterwards you must be prepared to deal with the outcome. There is ~o rush to tell, though af°J:,er finding your freedom in your own skin, it is the sheer delight "'.hich c~use.s -us too want to tell it from the mountain. Knowing your people best, dec~de whi:h 1s better. A private moment at home a public meeting, to avoicl the emotional display fit for stage and screen. Whichever· you choose, know this yo.ung queen.

Page 21 only do we get judged by the straight community, however the gay community as well. They act like we are not gay enough, if there is such a thing. With little to no family support, we have found· ourselves clearly on our own. I hate feeling this way, as I fill guilt and selflessness for wishing we had more us time. Is this wrong? The suburban Bradies. Well hello Mr. Br:ady: Kitten-It is not selfish to want to celebrate the love on which you quilt this family upon. This is natural, and appropriate to say the least. It is a commendable accomplishment which, you have your partner have done. There is another point to make here as well. There are more families than you realize out there, mirrored to your own. Dealing with the same issues. Uncles suggest that you go through your local GLTB community center, in order to find others such as yourse,lf. Support is invaluable, when dealing with this lifestyle. · As far as suffering ignorance, refuse. There is ignorance and sometimes, from within our own borders. Family life has just as much value as player life. Enjoy the precious gift which fate has bestowed onto you both. Remembering to· rejoice and keep the love which began that day in the park.

AIDS Drug Assistance Programs: Americans in Crisis Washington, D.C._ In order to provide AIDS therapies to all Americans who need them, a minimum of $303 million in additional federal funding is urgently needed for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) for the Fiscal Year 2006. That is the consensus of ADAP experts , advocacy organizations and patients who participated in a Congressional briefing today, urging Congress to act. The call to action mirrored a letter sent last week to both President Bush and Members of Congress, which was signed by more than 300 organizations nationwide. ADAP, funded under Title II of the Ryan White CARE Act, provides access to treatment for low-income people living with HIV/ AIDS who are uninsured or lack adequate prescription coverage. It is the final safety net for Americans who have no other means of accessing HIV medications and a lifeline for approximately 100,000 people every month. According to a budget projection conducted a11nuaHy by the National ADAP Working Group, the program requires a minimum of $303 million in additional federal dollars in order to provide treatment for existing clients, as well as the 25,000 to 45,000 new patients that are expected to seek treatment through ADAP before April, 2007. The budget projection has been proven to be a highly reliable predictor of actual need since 1997. "Four years of inadequate federal ADAP funding have culminated in a genuine ADAP crisis which has worsened Cllch year'', stated Bill Arnold, Director of the National ADAP Working Group. The ADAP emergency i5 now a year older. We hope that this year Congress and the White House will address this esca!Ating crisis at the earliest possible moment. Last year, President Bush authorized an emergency allocation of $20 million in an effort the help the approximately 1,500 ADAP clients on official state ADAP waiting Hats in 10 states. However, that funding wu not sufficient for the thmuaods of those of people living with HIV/ AIDS around the country who are not able to access life-saving medications to keep them alive. Unfortunately, the president is recommending an increase of ooly $10 million for FY2006. That is not even enough to continue to keep the people served by his $20 million initiative on their drugs, let alone keep up with the growing demand. beeir writiiig for the gay and lesbian press for more than 20 years. she se~ed. for three years as the co-chair of the board of d~ectors of New York City's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Community Center, where she founded a groundbreaking reading series called «In Our Own Write." Lesbian Notions by Paula Martinac JUNE 2005 Political Science The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's soon-to-be-implemented guidelines about anonymous sperm donors present a reproductive-rights issue for both gay men and lesbians. When a government can't directly stop "undesirable" people from reproducing, it simply makes it more difficult for them - in this case, by instituting a policy that is more politically motivated than it is rooted in science. The FDA's new guidelines - set to take effect on May 25 - recommend as "ineligible" for sperm donation any man who has had sex with another man in the previous five years, even if he's in a monogamous relationship or routinely practices safer sex. They further _______ ....;.. _____ .J· restrict donations from men who have had sex · in the previous 12 months with anyone "known or suspected to have HIV infection." (Ibe "suspected to" part is particularly creepy.) · This policy - which has no basis in the science of HIV - actually got its start six years ago, 'durfug the. Clinton administration, at the FDA's spooky-sounding "Human Tissue Se_tniriar.,,·At that _tinie, the agency announced its ihterition to make it illegal for all ~y Illen to_ be_come ~onymo~s sperm donors because of their supposed across~tl:\'.e-board nsk for HIV. Despite the growth of HIV infection in the heterosexual population, straight men with multiple sexual partners would have faced no similar restriction, . ·~ flood of protest eil~ued, primarily from sperm banks, which rightly saw it as mvasive regulation of an mdustry that already employed necessary safeguards against !'fIV. Indeed, tner~ were on record. C>nly a few cases of HIV transmission through mfected donor sp,erm. (And today, there is no recorded increase of such · transmissioh.) 'HaJ>pily; activists were successful at staving off the discriminatory change, but under Bush, the FDA began revisiting the idea in earnest. Let's fac: it -: ~e Ufderlyirig premise of the FDA guidelines is that gay men should not faili,er chil~en; al%bugl:i the agency doesn't conic right out and· say that. It co~ve~:uently c,1rctirilven_t~ the charges of antigay discrimination by noting ?1at the gw?elines don t have the force of law, and that the agency's official regulations - which _do_ carry legal force - never use the words "gay" or "homosexual." Yet, as one sperm-bank director aori:utted to gay blogger Michael Petrelis, "A lot of clinics will use the guidelines as. an intimidation document and refuse gay donors." · . What's more, .the new .guid~es also have a direct impact on lesbian reproductive choice. Many lesbian coup1es pterer gay sperm donors. Indeed, they mav have chosen a sperm bank where donors_ agree to have their identity revealed at soni~ point in the future - usually when the child comes of age and want that donor to be "familv"· in more ways than one. , _ If yo:1 think that I'm sounding a false alarm, that our government doesn't get mvolved m _who can and can't reproduce, think again. In fact, the U.S. government has o~en tned to prevent or discourage certain people from having children - e~pec~~ poor women, women of color, and people with mcntai or physicai d1sabtl1ttes. 1 l l Page 23 It has accomplished this through sterilization programs disguised as "contraception" - perhaps most heinously, in a campaign of the 1970s that succeeded in sterilizing a fourth of :all Native American women living on government reservations. Individual abuses are still being documented, especially in cities with high immigrant and people-of-color populations. The other significant means by which the government restricts the reproductive rights of specific people is through punitive, economic policies that make it impossible for them to raise th~ own childrc:n. For example, the 1996 "welfare reform" bill instituted a "family cap" that limits paynients to women if they becomc:/pregnant while accepting governp:ient' assistance. UndersiAnd that, at the same time, our goycmment tries to make it more difficult for white,· middle-class women to _opt out_ of motherhood, by · . away at their right to choose. . . abortion is still technically legal in the United· States, fewer and fewer m2dical schools now teach the proc::edurc:, ar1d tl1e numbc;r of doctors perfowiog: abortions .has therefore been drastically reduced since the historic _Roe v. Wade_ decision of 1973. Of course, the new FDA guidelines for sperm donors may seem benign compared to egregious examples from the women's reproductive-rights movement. But the lesbian and gay community shouldn't fool itself into complacency. The guidelines are ultimately all about who is and isn't "fit'' to parent - who is, in effect, "mommy material," a phrase I coined a few years back. Now the FDA is poised to include gay men - based on their sexual _identity_, not on the realities of their sexual _behavior_ - under the rubric of those who aren't "daddy material." ® B 1g NYC's Wisstock Festival. to Celibrate 20th Anniversary on ffugust 27 The iegendary dfllg festival which refuses to "curl up and dye" will once again rock it's original SO's location in the East Village's · Tompkins Square Park on Saturday, August 27th 2005, from 5:00-7:00 pm. For the last 2 years, the wiggy festival has been organized in association with FEVA, the Federation of East Village Artists, which adds Wigstock to it's annual HOWL Festival line-up. HOWL's goal is to revitalize the East Village and commemorate its promine.o.ce as a cultural hotbed. Last year, over 6,000 turned out in the pouring :min to see such acts as Boy George, RuPaul, Lypsinka, Drag King Murray Hill, Comedy Centtal's Graham Norton and Holly Woodlawn, the Warhol superstar whose life inspired Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wtld Side." So far, Wigstock 2005 has confirmed transexual superstar/David Lachapelle muse Amanda Lepore, dancing fool and former Miss Continent21 Candis Cayne, comedilln/actor Mike Albo, the super-sized t21.ents of Sweetie, Billboard chart-topping <W1ce divo Kevin A viance and Flotilla Barge, whose evil SruJones' impersonation in a recent PETA ad made nationwide headlines! Of course, they'll _all be curated and emceed by Wigstock founder Lady Bunny who notes "20 yearsi I'm 26 now so I must have starting organizing the festival when I was 6 years old!" (And she's bee.o. using that line since 1992Q Expect a frel!k show with raunchy putp0r, scintillating song and dance numbers and a vibe of which the New York Tt1nes has said "the ban.a was dynamite." The audience is encouraged to dress up as well, providing a perfect audience for the queens' zany antics. Plus, it's a throwback to the East Village's glory days when the area was much grittier, and freaks couid sci!! afford to live in Manhattan. 1 p C 25 I l JUNIE 24 • 26 OKLAHOMA G:l"A', DK Talent Night Drink S Is H1111p brinkS Is Poo1·toumments Karaoke Best·in· Town I 9toClose ...c..e..P....a.. ... . page-26 Out o/Town from pg-12 on a quiet downtown street and offers two simple rooms, with rates from $70 to $80.

Saturn quincunx Pluto is continuing to force you through difficult selfexamination and hard choices. Mars in Pisces is triggering them both, offering spiritual insight and a push to work. But think ahead and sort things out carefully before taking action. ARIES (March 20 April 19): There seems to be precious little going right these days, so you may as well take a meditative retreat and charge your batteries. Just working on those insights is quite enough for you to handle now. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20): Imagine vou're on one of those TV survivor ;hows with all your friends. List them on paper, and scratch them away one at a time, each time thinking about why you're making that choice. What does this process tell you about your friendships? GEMINI (May 21 June 20): Your career right now is feeling about as stable as a surfboard at sea. To avoid wiping out, consider the balance of values and associations your goals are built on, and remember that the values have to be stronger. CANCER (June 21 - July 22): You're hungry for adventure now, but that's a temptation to disaster. Dig into your safe little nest and get your thrills intellectually or artistically instead. A good philosophical read or a sci-fi epic will take you where you need to go. LEO (July 23 August 22): A mad, passionate, erotic getaway will raise problems and be more trouble than it's worth, but the problems it brings to surface are exactly those you need to deal with. You can handle it. Make sure your partner is ready! VIRGO ~August 23 September 22): Social opportunities can stir up problems at home. Try to involve your partner - or, if you're single, a good friend - in helping you reconcile the two. A friend can also help you with relationship problems. LIBRA (September 23 - October 22): You need to think your actions through, but be careful not to dit.'1er. Too little or too much thinking can lead to accidents. Guidance from your boss or from any authority, even parents, will help you stay focused. SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21): Money problems have been a dug for a while. There's no easy fix, and impulse spending is not therapy - _au contra.ire_! Adventure is helpful. Any version of diversion or perversion provides both relief and perspective on your problems. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 December 20): Although you're extra sexy these days, you have some questions about personal and sexual integrity. Are they compromised by easy sex or obsolete habits? What do you need to work on to make sex more satisfying? CAPRICORN (December 21 January 19): Relationships are often a source - or core of anxiety. The old-fashioned approach talking honestly abour your fears and worries is best. Don't worry about focusing your thoughts and words. That will develop during the discussion. AQUARIUS 0anuary 20 February 18): What you want to achieve at work is now less important than how you go about it. Focus on the process and stay on the track you set earlier. Challenges from colleagues can offer opportunities to improve, but just stay on that track! PISCES (February 19 - March 19): Your energy is very high now, but easily scattered. Your goals may seem impossible, and your boss oppressive. Weather It through by focusing your energy into tasks that offer a chance to exercise some small sense o: playful creativity.

This scenic haven of sandy beaches, opulent Victorian houses, and touristy but engaging seafo?d restaurant~ ~d souvenir shops attracts quite a few gays and lesbians from Texas and the Gulf South - it's Just 50 iniles south of Houston. Galveston has a handful of accommodations that market specifically to the gay community, as well as a few lively gay bars. and discos. Many of the queer folks yoi,i're apt to meet around town either own second homes or rent cottages here. Late spring through early fall, the city absolutely swells with visitors,· but no matter the time of year, the gay presence tends to be relatively discreet.. You won't see same-sex couples holding hands around town, as Galveston remains first and foremost a ,destination for families and retirees, many of whom tend toward the conservative side. Nevertheless, with colorful architecture, a small but discernible arts scene, and a laid-back. demeanor reminiscent of both Key West and New Orleans, this city of 65,000 tends to be ii. little more open-minded and offbeat than any other on the Texas Gulf Co11St. As you approach Galveston _from metro Houston, the scenety offers li~e inspir~tion:_ suburban sprawl and strip-mall development give way to the presence of gnm, hulking 011 refineries. But once you cross G:alveston Bay on I-45, you enter a different world - a narrow 32-mile-long windswept coastal island. Several historic neighborhoods abound w,i~ stately old mansions and cheerful clapboard cottages, and the main drag along the ~hordine, J;eawall Boulevard bustles with seafood restaurants, chain hotels, and shops selling postcaicl.~, seashells, ;wimsuits, and sungiii.s~cs. . ·· · · If vou're a beach lover, you'll want to hang out around the shorefront neighborhoods, but the, city's vibrant and quirky personality reveals itself most strongly a C0Ul'!le, of miles north, in the downtown Strand Historic District, which overlooks Galveston. Bay .. '.fhls warren of palm-shaded cobblestone lanes verges on quaint, but for 11 few tall builclμigs arid the frequent presence of massive cruise ships tied up. in port. Although it's too .fai to walk easily between downtown and the gulf, the city's convenient trolley runs regularly between them. There are numerous attr.i.ctions to keep you busy around Galveston, the most famous being the Moody Gardens, a dazzling nature-oriented complex consisting of ~ee h~ pyramidal buildings housing a vast tropical rain forest, an aquarium, a?~ a s~ence museum. Other points of interest include downtown's Ocean Star Offshore Drilling Rig and Museum, in which you can explore an actual retired oil rig; the drlllllatic 1894 Gtand OpC?- House, which now presents theater and music events; and the 1877 Tall Ship Elissa. . . If you start to feel a little peckish, downtown's festive Yaga's Cafe is a Ion~~. filvonte for casual Caribbean-inspired &re; it books live reggae, blues, and jazz bands on weekend evenings. For extremely tll~ty .Southwestem and Mexic~ fue, including delicious :liri~p tacos with mango salsa, head to Playa de Loro. A spacious, elegant restaurant over,ooking Galveston Bav, Willie G's serves huge and rich portions of seafood, including lump crab au gratin and sn;pper Kathleen (blackened with shrimp, crab, mushrooms, and iemo~ _b~tter). Gay-popular Mosquito Cafe, despite its pesty name, might just serv~ the mos_t soprusttcated and polished contemporary cuisine in town. This charming space with tall WU1dows exudes understated elegance. . .................... continued next page. Page 7 Good bets from the eclectic menu include rare yellowfin tuna over rice noodles and veggies with a trio of spicy Pan-Asian sauces, and farfalle pasta with artichoke hearts, calamata olives, pine nuts, and feta cheese. Yes, it's a chain, but downtown Galveston's Starbucks is a particularly appealing spot for a light bite, with a nice-size sundeck offering views of cruise ships pulling in and out of port, and several plush armchairs. Another good place for a snack, Java 213 offers plenty of character and warmth, with its high ceilings and vintage decor. Garza's Kon Tiki is the most popular gay nightclub downtown. It's in a modern building with kitschy, Mardi Gras-inspired decor, and it's steps from several great restaurants. Garza's, which has been going strong since the 1960s, draws a varied crowd. Women and men of all ages come to admu:e some of the best female impersonators in Texas (great drag shows are staged Friday and Saturday nights). The city's other three gay bars are down by·the beach. With a second-floor deck that offers superb gulf views and a great location, Undercurrent .is the snazziest gay disco around, drawing a trendy crowd for dancing and cruising. In a. slightly ragtag neighborhood on the east side of town, the low-keyed Third. Coast Bar overlooks the Gulf and has a small deck. outside. Robert's Lafitte is another neighborhood bat with an easy-going personality. Galveston claims a pair of Texas's most renowned historic hotels, both of them run by the gay-friendly Wyndham hotel chain. Anchoring the heart of downtown's Strand Historic District, the Tremont House captures the old-world dignity and warmth of a European boutique hotel. The 119-room property lies within steps of countless shops and restaurants, and rooms have marble baths and fluffy pillow-top bedding. A 10-minute drive south, the imposing Hotel Galvez offers a more peaceful setting. Even better, this regal 1911 grande dame overlooks the Gulf of Menco. Although rooms have such modern touches as high-speed Internet and cordless phones, the period decor thoroughly recalls the city's gilded era. You can sip cockwls at the pool's swim-up bar or relax to piano music over the Sunday champagne brunch. It's top-notch, all-around. Another mainstream property with a strong gay following, the Queen Anne-style Mermaid & Dolphin resort sits along a . peaceful, tree-lined street a short drive from both the gulf and downt9wn. Luxury is the buzzword here: the eight· suites have double Jacuzzi tubs, plush hand-carved mahogany beds, gas fireplaces, CD players, TVs with VCRs, and fine artwork and antiques. It doesn't get much fancier than this. If, on the other hand, you're looking to save a little money and simply want a basic but inviting motel, consider the prosaic but reasonably priced Ramada Galveston, which is right across from the beach and near Undercurrent • nightclub. Galveston has one gay mini-resort that captures the romantic tradition of Key West: Paradise Guesthouse. Set in a modest but historical residential enclave just two short blocks from the gulf, this secluded and cozy brick compound is situated around a pool and fountain, fringed by fragrant and meticulously tended gardens and lighted in the evening by flickering torches. Common amenities include a hot tub, several patios, and a common room stocked with snacks and soft drinks. The mood is more romantic than frisky - it's a perfect retreat for gay and lesbian co~r,le.s looking to celebrate a special occasion. There are three large suites and two smaller but still inviting guest rooms, all with refrigerators and TVs with VCRs. Finally, if you're planning on visiting with a few friends and you want to enjoy the convenience and privacy that comes with staying in your vety own summer house, consider renting one of the six beautiful bungalows available through Cottage by the Gulf. Just a half block from the gulf and convenient to picturesque Stewart Beach, these handsomely outfitted houses come in all different shapes and sizes, sleeping from 4 to 10 guests. The smallest, Magnolia House, has a wraparound deck; another has a small fenced yard that's perfect if you're traveling wi~ a dog. All have full kitchens, barbecue grills, espresso machines, stereos, cable TV with VCRs, and elegant furnishings, and you can rent them by the day, week, or month. Keep in mind that rates, which in summer begin at $125 nightly and $795 weekly, are about 20 to 30 percent less from October through April, making this a real off-season bargain.

A group of 5 guys wanted to sing and new that if they were going to sing in a mens chorus they were going to have to build it themselves. They then contacted Howard Webb and asked him if he would consider conducting the group. Webb is no stranger ro the Wichita Musical community. He has helped start other choral and musical organizations like the Wichita Chamber Chorale, a group that has flourished in the musical community of Wichita for over 25 years, and /the Plymouth Chamber Series. He has performed and conducted in many area venues. As Artistic Director/ Conductor of HOAMC his responsibilities include planning the concert, training the singers and conducting the concert. He is happy to tell you that his assistant conducror, Mark Walker, and accompanist John Cargile work very dose with him in all this work. The group has grown from 18 at the original concert to a present 50 men singing the upcoming concert. We have gained our 501c3 non-profit status this past year had successful fund drive and fund raising events. We have been invited to do a run-out concert sing tile national anthem for the river festival fireworks concert with the symphony, and are slowly but surely becoming recognized in the Wichita musical communitv as a talented and well prepared music~! organization. The group is diverse in all ways, from different religious backgrounds, race, careers and sexual orientation. Our requirement is that they are prepared to have fun and make music; all else is their personal business. And have fun we do. From reading the music for the first time co the learning process, building sets and taking the show to the stage for performance and the light come on and the audience roars as the curtain opens.

Some ask, "Should we take our mes to the right?" others ask, "Sh we take our message to the left?" or, "What did religious fundamentalist do to gain so much influence and power in this nation?" and of course, "Which way to Canada?" (The last question being the most disturbing to this observer.) These are questions that are being raised from the halls of the Capitol in Washington to the dinner table right here in the heart of the Midwest. Questions are also being raised in the LGBT community. "\Vas ii: too much to 'go after marriage'?" and "Do we wntinue the path that we are on, or push foi..n:iore realistic goals given today's political climate?" These quesi:ions too are being felt right here in our own towns and all the way to Washington. These are all broad and far-reaching questions that must be dealt wii:h and dealt with soon. However, perh;ps a more basic, fundamental question needs to be asked of us all as to how we ensure that the debacle of this past November never happens again. Did we as a community, and I as an individual, really do all I could to ensure victorv in November? , Think back for a moment to the months leading up IO the election. Never before have we seen so many conversations take place regarding national issues. How manv times did yo:, sit around a bar with your, friends for , Happy Hour and the marriage issue was discussed? How many times did you go to dinner with your loved ones and anger was expressed concerning the policies of President Bush? And now, how manv times did those discussions lead to · someone at the bar or table going to write a check or volunteer for a campaign to make sure the right men and women would be in office? The Greek philosopher Plato once noted, ''The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men . .., Ir is in that quote, first made thousands of years ago, that we find the problem that today's LGBT community faces. Our problem is not with our issues. We will not find our political problems by looking at elected officials that we think of as our "friends". Nor. will we find the answer by looking at those who oppose us. The answer to polii:ical problems that face the LGBT community are found right here at home, within our own community. PROVIDING THE RIGHT CURRENCY Many want IO see our LGBT political organizations begin to demand our rights be given to us by our elected officials. However, one cannot demand anything without the ability to back up that demand. When a person is elected to public office, he/she usually has certain issues that are most dear to them. With some legislators, LGBT equality is one of their issues and their support of our community is unwavering and our appreciation .is heartfelt. However, we must realize that there are even more legislators who are supportive, but LGBT equality is rarely one of their key issues. Therefore, when asking a legislator to support us in our efforts, we are essentially asking them to spend polii:ical capital on us, and not their own pet issues. To convince them to do so, we must show the official that. not only are we not a liability at electio~ time, that in fact, we are an asset to them. To accomplish this we must produce the three forms of currency every poiitician wants: Votes, money and ~ime. · On Election Day, many of us went about our daily business proudly wearing our "I Voted" sticker. We a:-e proud of that sticker because it shows that we did a part in making our ::iation and our state a better place to live . .. continued pg35 This Is Shelter Country.

Lisa and Janet were joined by civil union in Vermont, where the couple decided to have a child using artificial insemination. When the couple split, Llsa, the birth mother, left Vermont (the state that recognizes homosexual unions) and moved to Virgina, where she thought she would be ensured full custody of the child she shared with Janet because Virgina docs not,reco~e · homosexual unions. Anything to win, rigli.t? Luckily for Janet, Vermont does not allqw; ., · that kind of creative manipru9:tio!i, of:theJaw. The state of Vermont says' lesbiiin 'co'tiples .. joined by civil union who have children using artificial insemination should be treated no differently than heterosexual couples who choose the same procedure or choose to adopt. Both women are legal parents of the child and Llsa has no more rights to the child than Janet does. . . What we see here is a lesbhm who enjoys those equal rights and freedoms that gay unions provide only if she is on the winning side of the law. Wnen she's not guannteed a win, she simply turns to archaic heterosexist laws that srack the odds in her f.i.vor. Millions of gays and lesbians in the United States still do not have the right to a civil union or a marriage: Lisa Miller-Jenkins enjoyed that right in Vermont, then moved to Virginia to take advantage of discrimination gainst gays and lesbians. Lisa is cheating. She's cheating just as · badly as George W. did when he used the gay ban to win votes at the polls. When homosexual couples accept those rights and freedoms associated with gay unions, we also accept all the · accompanying responsibilities. Children are a large responsibility. When we decide to share that responsiblity with another partner, our own desires tllke a backseat.

The best thiilg to come out of Ilsa Miller-Jenkins' creative maneuvering is awareness. Society has become more aware of the mess Clinton's Defense of Marriage Act has created in child custody disputes. I refuse to believe the courts will allow these kinds of messy disputes to continue for too long. Page 15 Guess that I am just a '\vild and crazy guy'' but I just don't see what all this crap about same-sex marriages is all about. Seems as thou the "religious right" is always on somebody's case. First it was the blacks and then the Jews and then the horrible Russian communists and now the homosexuals. They always have to have their "flock" hate someone so that they can get more money out of them. They WANT their "flock" to hate! After all isn't this more or less what religion is all about? Hating the people that don't agree with you? But what I would REALLY like to know is where are the Jerry Farwell's and all the other religious right leaders when it comes to Catholic Priests molesting little children? For the life of me I cannot possibly understand why they have not jumped on the bandwagon to degrade the Catholic Church for their actions! If anyone else would molest children they would have their ass thrown in jail so fast it would make their head spin but because the Catholic Church has so much power in the world they get off with only a slap on the wrist. It just doesn't make any sense to me at all. Living here in the midwest can be fun but there are still a lot of questions to be answered. Lucky for me I live near a large city and don't have to get real close to all my neighbors. Same sex marriages is NOT giving special treatment to us, it is mereiy giving us the SAME rights as all other Americans. I have some older gay friends who said that they had wanted to serve in the Army and Navy but couldn't. They wanted the benefits of serving in the Armed Services such as hospitalilzation, education and GI benefits on getting a house, etc. but they were denied. They were not wanting speciai treatment. They were mereiy · wanting the same treatment as all Americans. The State congressmen here in Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas are only playing i:o special interest groups and could care less about us. This is very sad to say but it is plainly the truth. We have made a hell of a lot of progress i..11 the past few years but it is a VERY uphill battle. I don't want much out of life, a nice place to live, a nice job, a nice person to love, live with and to be able to live my life as I want to. I don't want to bother anybody and I don't want anybody to bother me. Even thou there are laws passed for Blacks and Jews eventually there will be laws passed for Gays however just because laws are on the books doesn't mean that the average American will change their minds about us. They will forever be biased and narrow-minded. I sure would like to think that some how, some way, some day all this would change for the better and hopefully it will. Until then I will just go day by day and enjoy life in my own way.

Why bitch for the hell of it? 0nly bitch. about things that you really liave control over. One thing that I would re'ally:like,to bitch about however is Bartenders!·'There·are a lot of great bartenders and)rr"bsthi&tlidm· ue very friendly: Bur there are a some of them who are vecy obnoxious!

He explained how rude the bartender at the fust bar was so he left after tlie first' tlrlnlt.' · At the secorid bar that he went to he Sllld that the bartender was very friendly, asked if he was new in town, introduced him to a few of the guys in the bar and:railfy IJU!de him feel right at home., He stayed at that bar, for several drinks:. He~siud that often when, lie· travels around on business that most bllrtcllders ·are very rude. •. T couldn't' expktln why that y.'liS• Seems to me that bartenders shorild be the friendliest people in town. When gays go to a n~ town whether on business or if they, have just moved there or only frequent a bar once in a while, ·the bartender should go out of his way to be extra 'nice to everybody. Sadly to say but when a gay person comes from out of town to Tuisa or Oklahoma City or Springfield, or Joplin, the first place that they go is to the gay bars. If they are not friendly there, where will they be fnendly? Bar owners are always bitching about no business or not enough business. If their bartenders were nicer, and friendlier to the patrons, then they would stay in the bar longer and drink and have fun. Doesn't this make sense? But some bar owners and bartenders would rather. bitch about no· b~sin;ss and no tips and, then wonder whv th~y don't :h~i ~ore b~siness. Oc~asion:illy I go to .a stpight ,bar arid .the ~attenders are always friendly! Why not in a gay bar? · But, d1en you walk into other bars and the bartender greets you by name, asks how your day has been and is real upbeat. That is the way it SHOULD be! M~.tig it a very pleasant experience for everyone should be the goal of all bars and bartenders. Luckily for me I look over 21 so I am rarely .asked for my ID but some bartenders and door people are downright rude when they ask to see ID's. I knpw that legally they need to check everyone but they could at,Ieast be nice about it. I love the bars in Oklahoma and get to Springfield and Joplin sometimes on weekends. But sometimes the attitudes of the bartenders turn me off so much that I just walk out and go to another bar whei~ they· are· friendly·; They should not !:>ring thei; problems to them at work. If they don't. like. their jobs, then quit and find another job that suits them better. -Why should customers have to put up with their bitching and problems. One of the worst .thirigs a bartender can do· is bad mouth the bar. owiler which has happineil several times. Luckily for me I usually go to the bars with a group of friends and we carry on,our own co~crsatian,but when we see someone come inCthat we don't know we like · to introduce ourselves fo them.

While Solmonese argues he was just upholding his organization's mission, the move raised t.h.e ire of many of us who believe political and social movements should stick together, not sell each other out. It will be interesting to see how the sometime-rival NGLTF and HRC adjust to each other's turf. In quintessential NGLTF style, executive director Matt Foreman has already put forth his belief that there is plenty of room for "multiple voices" on Capitol Hill. In contrast, Solmonese told The Advocate that "we've got to come together and make sure .. :we share a common vision." You can probably tell that I'm a bigger fan of NGLTF than of HRC. Personally, I don't think any social movement can have a "common vision," unless it's a false one that's only the vision of the most vocal and powerful among us. But actually, I'm optimistic about both these changes in our two top groups. NGLTF has a lot to offer in the realm of federal lobbying, most notably a view of the LGBT community as bound up with other social-justice movements in an effort to bring about positive change for many different kinds of people. Indeed, the group's penchant for coalition-building has always been its strong suit. And HRC takes into America's heartland its reputation for holding the middle course - which will appeal to straight community and religious leaders who don't really understand what this "gay rights stuff' is about but who may be swayed by the stories of and faces individuals. And Solmonese avers that "increasing our presence and visibility across America will be a top priority of my tenure" - a vaiuabie goal to bring to the gay-activism table.

I s10ce. have become disenchanted with the Twinldes around me, and realize~ ·what I had with him. I have tried evetything I know to get him bac~ to no avail. Now, I am at a !oss wondering if I have lost the man I was meant to be with. What can I do? ' Missing him Dearest Missing, Uncle was most touched by your letter. It sounds as if you have learned one of lifes most unrealized lessons. It is always what we do not have, which drives our desires.

Good luck-Uncle Mikey Kittens, it is tb,e prison of our own design. Desires unrealized, as the cake always seems sweeter. 1!om the other plate. It is mans folly to want the thing they do not have, not rcaliz111g they already have what substance in their own kitchen. Be careful of what you wish for; for the wish .itself may not be the truest desire of the dreamer.

Patience is a virtue dearest one. Smooches Unde-Unde Uncle Mikey once attempted to help someone come out as well. I guess it was just too much for the poor dC2C. He ran like he was running through a white sale. It is not always easy when someone is attempting to come out. There are many variables during the coming out process. While, we may see it as the obvious choice, it remains a struggle for some. 'The best thing another can do, is just be supportive through the process.

The pop star will play Elton John in a feature about the queer music legend's life. Handpicked by Sir Reginald himself, Timberlake's already stuck his own hand in the script - the first draft was apparently too light on both tantrums and tiaras - and demanded that the film not sanitize the wild lifestyle John ied in the 1970s and '80s. Timbetlake's played John twice in music videos, so he's had som~ practice itμpersonating his hero. Now it's up. to the dialect coaches. The film is expected to start shooting later this year for a planned 2006 release. No other actors are attached yet, but Romeo hears the competition is fierce in the Kiki Dee casting sessions. Rupert Everett Straightens Up Forget the overused lesbian kiss plotline as a May sweeps ratings-grabber. Toe hot homo move this May is casting openly gay actors in straight roles. _Boston Legal_, the show that gives _ Will & Grace_ some stiff competition in the guest-star "get'' departmem and which has already seen Freddie Prinze Jr., Dana Delany, Carl Reiner, Shelly Long, Kerry Washington, and Al Sharpton pass through its halls of justice this season is about to host Rupert Everett. In his first stateside network prime.-time drama, the queer Brit will appear in at: least three May episodes of the lawyer-centric series, playing slick civil litigator· Malcoltt;1, Holmes. His hetero character will go head \b head in court against ex-girlfriend Tara· (_Legal_ regular Rhona Mitra), so expect oJd.romantic complaints to . be re-examined iri ~J'6urt. _Suckers_ for Mad~nna .qefying the idea that she; mixes with movies: like oH with water;, Madonna has two new big-sqreen projects on track. In the first .one, _Hello, Suckers_ (which she'll co-produce with _Aviator_ director Martin ~cor,scse), Madonna plays Texas Guin~, .the ~eal-life star of silent-movie Westerns .who also ran a New York speakeasy whe.re she greeted her customers with the title line. Meanwhile, a follow-up to _Truth or Dare_ is set to debut at the Cannes Film Fe.stival in May. Directed by Jonas Ackerlund (.:,Spun_), the st$untit! ed documentary follows the singer on her 2004 Reinvention Tour and is said to lay to rest rumors about Her Madgesty's life, as well as explain her devotion to Kuibalah. That's good news, because Romeo still can't figure it out. Jenni Olson's _Joy_San Francisco's Jenni Olson is a critic, film archivist (her _Homo Promo_ collection of vintage queer movie trailers was recently released on DVD), and now a feature direcror. Her debut, _The Joy of Life_, recently screened at the Sundance Film Festival and has just been acquired by Frameline for North American distribution. _Joy_ joins two tales of the city - one the story of a butch lesbian's search for love in San Francisco, and the other a history of the Golden Gate Bridge as a location for countless suicides - in an experimental examination on the search for both life's meaning and its end. The film will screen at the San Francisco International Film Festival in May and receive art-house distribution iater in the year. Expect it also to stir more hometown dialogue over the need for an . effective jumping barrier on the Golden Gate. _Romeo San Vicente has sampkd lots of San Fr,mr:isco 's trt'4ts.

JMie Fertig bas been u,or/eing "5 a -profos,sumal 4StTOk,gt:r since 1977 and is a fo#ndi.ng mimber of tlR: .Association for Astro/ogial Net'U10rking:_ Page 35 Canada from pg-13 We're proud because it proclaims to all that see us that we did our duty as a citizen of this gteat land. You should be proud of voting, and never allow anyone to say that your vote does not count. We saw that to be false four years ago in Florida and are seeing it again now in Washington state where, out of the 2.8 million votes cast, the election for Governor came down to only 129 votes. And while voting is the most important thing you can do in the political process, it is also the least that you can do. It is when we as a people recognize this point that equality issues will begin to move forward. We as a community must also understand the importance of money in regards to campaigns. Consider this: To run for a statewide office in Missouri (U.S. Senate, Governor, etc), one needs to spend anywhere from $8 - $12 million dollars; Even to run for State Representative, an office that is unfortunately ovedooked all too often, one could need as much as $100,000. We must do a better job in financially assisting pro-LGBT candidates for office, and those candidates must know that the money is coming from our community. One of the ways of accomplishing this is to make your contribution to a candidate during a fundraiser hosted by an LGBT political organization. The candidate can then walk out and know exactly how much money he/ she has received from us. The other is to donate your money directly to one of our many local political organizations. Many area LGBT political organizations a.re set up in a fashion that they can receive money and spend it directly on behalf of an endorsed candidate (ex. PROMO PAC or HRC PAC). 1bis allows the leaders of these organizations to know how much money they spent on the candidate and serves as a lobbying tool once in office. It also allows the organizations to support friendly candidates in rural areas, where membership in our org:i.nizationa a.re low. Lastly, we as a community have to become more directly involved in the individual campaigns. We must get up from the bar ... show up to the dinner party a little later ... Tivo £fill & Graa if you have to ... whatever it takes, and go volunteer. We have to help stuff the envelopes, make the phone calls to registered votcn, and yes, we must knock on doors in support of our candidates. This tends to be the pan of campaigning that all people like the least. It also happens to be the most effective, especially in the close races. Studies show that in neighborhoods where candidates and volunteers knock on doors, voter turnout increases by as. inuch as twelve percent. In close elections that is the difference in the outcome. CONTROLING OUR OWN DESTINY What went \v'rong in this past election? Why did so many progressive candidates and causes get beaten so soundly? Those are questions that will be asked for many years to come. But we, the LGBT community, must look .within ourselves to understand what we did right,• and what we did wrong. We must come to the understanding that if we want our issues to advance, we must do what it takes in order to have the right people in office to advance that cause for us. Justified or not, our issues are very difficult for many legislators to support. The fear of backlash during the election cycle prevents our legislative agenda from advancing. Therefore, we must begin strengthening our campaigning muscles. Because our issues are perceived as so controversial, voting in similar numbers to the rest of the country is not good enough. Financial contributions made to campaigns at the same level other communities contribute just is not good enough. And volunteering with similar numbers as everyone else just will not be enough. If we truly believe in our issues ... if we truly believe in marriage equality, in employment protections, in the right of an LGBT student to feel safe in school, then we have to start doing to things necessary to put good legislators in office. Until we do, we have no one to blame but ourselves. The beauty of this situiuion is, we do in fact control our own destiny. We have truth and history on our side. Our opponents only have deception and a few last moments in the sun. We know who we are and that we are deserving of all the same rights that every other proud American enjoys. And with our hard work and focus, history shows us that we will succeed. The ehallenge is this: getting each and every member of our community committed to making a differ~nce during the next big election.

Inspired by her victory, Bryant founds the first national anti-gay group, Save Our Children, drawing unprecedented attention to gay issues and motivating gay groups to organize in response. James Dobson, author of 1969 pro-spanking book Dare To Discipline, founds Focus on the Family in Arcadia, Calif. Focus will move to Colorado Springs, Colo., in 1991, become America's wealthiest fundamentalist ministry, and spearhead the campaign against gay marriage. 1978 Gay activist Harvey Milk, elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors on Nov. 7, is assassinated 20 days later (along with Mayor George Moscone) by right-wing religious zealot Dan White, a former city supervisor who had resigned in protest when the board passed a gay-rights ordinance. John Birch Society trainer and "family activist" Tim LaHaye publishes The Unhappy Gays (later retitled What Everyone Should Know About Homosexuality). Calling gay people "militant, organized" and "vile," LaHaye anticipates anti-gay arguments to come. California State Sen. John Briggs floats a ballot initiative allowing local school boards to ban gay teachers. "One third of San Francisco teachers are homosexual," Briggs says. "I assume most of them are seducing young boys in toilets." The initiative is defeated, but the campaign inspires anti-gay crusaders like the Rev. Lou Sheldon, who will fo1md the Traditional Values Coalition in 1981. 1979 5/19/2005 �,;z-":f -'!!:•�·. :·.:_:_�:.>';!���. --./::t:'.'-r.j•.

Jerry Falwell founds the Moral Majority, a national effort to stimulate the fundamentalist vote and elect Christian Right candidates. Early :fundraising appeals include a "Declaration of War" on homosexuality. 1980 Paul Cameron, former psychology instructor at University of Nebraska, begins publishing pseudo­ scientific pamphlets "proving" that gay people commit more serial murders, molest more children, and intentionally spread diseases. Expelled from the American Psychological Association in 1983 for ethics violations, Cameron will continue to produce bogus "studies" widely cited by anti-gay groups. 1981 Moral Majority allies in Congress propose the Family Protection Act, which would bar giving federal funds to "any organization that suggests that homosexuality can be an acceptable alternative lifestyle." Despite President Reagan's endorsement, the bill is defeated. The Council for National Policy, a highly secretive club of America's most powerful far-right religious activists, begins meeting quarterly at undisclosed locations. Among the members will be R.J. Rushdoony, who calls for death penalty for homosexuals, and anti-gay crusaders James Dobson, Beverly and Tim LaHaye, Jerry Falwell, Tony Perkins and Phyllis Schlafly. George W. Bush will meet with the Council during his first campaign for president. 1982 The U.S. Department of Defense issues a policy stating that homosexuality is "incompatible" with military service. Almost 17,000 gay soldiers will be discharged during the l 980s, though a 1989 Defense Deparbnent study will find gay recruits "just as good or better" than heterosexuals. 1983 Pat Buchanan, communications director for President Ronald Reag� calls AIDS, first identified in 1981, "nature's revenge on gay men." 1984 The Coalition on Revival is founded to promote "Christian government" in the U.S. and to agree on theological tenets - including anti-gay principles - that fundamentalists can rally around. Board members include Tim LaHaye, D. James Kennedy of Coral Ridge Ministries and Donald Wildmon of the American Family Association. Founder Jay Grimstead later tells The Advocate, "Homosexuality makes God vomit." 1985 Addressing the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, Paul Cameron uses the AIDS crisis 5/19/2005 �Page3 of7 to suggest that "the extermination of homosexuals" might become necessary. The following year, Colorado's Summit Ministries will publish Special Report: AIDS. Co-authored by Cameron, the popular pamphlet blames gay men for the epidemic and calls for a national crackdown on homosexuals. 1986 At the first Congressional hearings on anti-gay violence, Kathleen Sarris of Indianapolis tells of being stalked and assaulted by a "Christian soldier" who held her at gunpoint, beat and raped her for three hours, explaining that "he was acting for God; that what he was doing to me was God's revenge on me because I was a 'queer' and getting rid of me would save children." Anti-gay groups cheer the U.S. Supreme Court's 5-4 decision in Bowers v. Hardwick holding that state anti-sodomy statutes are constitutional. Four years later, Justice Lewis Powell, the swing vote, will tell New York University law students, "I probably made a mistake in that one." 1987 Boston's Gay Community News publishes a satire of anti-gay propaganda, beginning: "Tremble, Hetero Swine! We shall sodomize your sons, emblems of your feeble masculinity, of your shallow dreams and vulgar lives. We will raise vast private annies ... to defeat ... the family unit." Anti-gay groups seize on the article as proof of a "secret homosexual agenda." 1988 After a ferocious campaign by the fundamentalist Oregon Citizens Alliance (OCA), Oregon voters overturn their governor's executive order banning anti-gay discrimination in state hiring. Led by anti­ gay crusader Lon Mabon, OCA claims "promiscuous sodomite activists" have called for "the closing of all churches that oppose them and the total destruction of the family." 1989 U.S. Rep. William Dannemeyer (R-Calif.) publishes a landmark anti-gay tome, Shadow in the Land: Homosexuality in America. Calling lesbians and gay men 11the ultimate enemy," Dannemeyer accuses straight people of "surrendering to this growing army without a shot," and predicts gay rights will "plunge our people, and indeed the entire West, into a dark night of the soul that could last hundreds of years." 1990 University of Colorado football coach Bill McCartney founds Promise Keepers, which holds all-male stadium revivals promoting "traditional masculinity" throughout the l 990s. McCartney calls homosexuals "a group of people who don't reproduce, yet want to be compared with people who do reproduce," and says, "Homosexuality is an abomination of Almighty God." 1991 5/19/2005 �Page4 of7 Pat Robertson founds the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), run by Christian Right attorney Jay Sekulow. ACLJ will be instrumental in fighting gay marriage, calling it a cancerous "perversion" that "directly attacks the family, which is the most vital cell in society." 1992 Colorado voters approve Amendment 2, overturning municipal laws protecting lesbians and gay men from discrimination. One of the organizers, Tony Marco, hones a "special rights" argument, claiming that gay people are inordinately wealthy and politically powerful, and neither need nor deserve the rights they "demand." "The Gay Agenda," 20-minute video featuring racy scenes filmed at gay-pride marches, is released by Ty and Jeannette Beeson of the Antelope Valley Springs of Life church in Lancaster, Calif. Aired by Pat Robertson's "The 700 Club,0 it will become one of the most widely viewed pieces of anti-gay propaganda. At the Republican National Convention in Houston, Pat Buchanan famously declares in a prime time speech, "There is a culture war going on in our country for the soul ofAmerica." Cheering audience members wave signs reading "Family Rights Forever, 'Gay' Rights Never." 1993 The battle over gay marriage is ignited when the Hawaii Supreme Court rules that denying same-sex couples marriage licenses violates "basic human rights" guaranteed in the state constitution - unless the state legislature can show a "compelling reason" to prevent gay marriage. Anti-gay groups begin a campaign to "defend marriage," with legal challenges led by ACLJ's Jay Sekulow. President Clinton's proposal to lift the ban on openly gay military personnel sends anti-gay activists into action, shutting down phone lines to Congress with hundreds ofthousands of calls in protest. "Honestly," asks D. James Kennedy in a fundraising letter for Coral Ridge Ministries, "would you want your son, daughter, or grandchild sharing a shower, foxhole, or blood with a homosexual?" The Cobb County (Ga.) Commission passes a resolution calling homosexuality "incompatible with the standards to which this community subscribes." Organizer Gordon Wysong declares, 0We should blame them for every social problem in America." Cobb County will be dropped as a host for 1996 Atlanta Olympic events because of its anti-gay stance. 1994 More than40 fundamentalist groups, led by Focus on the Family, hold a summit in Colorado to coordinate a "special rights" argument to oppose gay rights. This strategy is also promoted by the Traditional Values Coalition's "Gay Rights, Special Rights," a40-minute video claiming gay rights will erode the civil rights ofAfrican Americans. 1995 The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party, by fundamentalist activists Scott Lively and 5/19/2005 �Page 5 of7 Kevin Abrams, claims gays weren't victimized in the Holocaust, but instead helped mastermind the extermination of Jews (see stocy, p. 18). Repudiated by credible historians, the book is nevertheless praised by the Family Research Council and sold by several anti-gay organiz.ations. 1996 The National Pro-Family Forum, dedicated to "one man-one woman" marriage, holds its first secret meeting in a Memphis church cellar with representatives from more than 20 major anti-gay groups. Before the end of the year, forum members successfully push the Defense of Marriage Act, a symbolic measure defining marriage as between a man and a woman, through Congress. The Southern Baptist Convention announces a boycott of Disney parks and products because the company gives insurance benefits to partners of gay workers and allows "Gay Days" at its theme parks. "Beware of the Magic Kingdom," Focus on the Family advises parents. Gay Day protests become a staple of the anti-gay movement In Romer v. Evans, the U.S. Supreme Court rules Colorado's Amendment 2 (see 1992) unconstitutional by a 6-3 vote. The ruling puts an end to 20 years of state and local ballot initiatives aimed at stripping gays of anti-discrimination protections, leaving same-sex marriage as the main issue for anti-gay organizers. 1997 Ellen DeGeneres' character on the TV sitcom "Ellen" comes out as a lesbian, initiating protests and boycotts of sponsors led by Donald Wildmon and Jerry Falwell, who calls the actor "Ellen Degenerate." 1998 A coalition of fundamentalist groups led by Coral Ridge Ministries sponsors "Truth in Love," a million-dollar advertising campaign promoting "ex-gay ministries," which use discredited psychological methods to "cure" gay people. One day before a second round of "Truth in Love" ads is released, gay college student Matthew Shepard dies after being savagely beaten and left tied to a fence in Wyoming. The murder spurs a national debate about the connection between anti-gay rhetoric and hate crimes. In a TV interview, Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.) compares gay people to alcoholics and "kleptomaniacs," earning praise from anti-gay activists. "Leaders willing to be set apart and stand solidly in the truth are rare in today's permissive culture," says James Dobson. 1999 Vermont Democratic Gov. Howard Dean signs a law sanctioning same-sex civil unions, entitling gay couples to marital rights arid benefits. Anti-gay leader Gary Bauer calls it "an unmitigated disaster" that is "worse than terrorism." 2000 5/19/2005 �Page6of7 "Teletubbies" cartoon character Tinley Winley is "outed" as gay in a "Parents' Alert" in Jerry Falwell's Liberty Journal, which asserts, "He is purple - the gay-pride color; and his antenna is shaped like a triangle - the gay-pride symbol." The U.S. Supreme Court rules 5-4 that the Boy Scouts of America can continue to ban gay scoutmasters. Anti-gay activists like Robert Knight ofthe Family Research Council use the scouting controversy to revive anti-gay "child molester" propaganda. After CBS morning-show host Bryant Gumbel interviews Knight, he is heard on air commenting, "What a fucking idiot." Anti-gay groups label CBS the "Christian Bashing System" and lobby unsuccessfully for Gumbel's firing. 2001 On "The 700 Cbib" two days after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Jerry Falwell blames the tragedy on "the Pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists and the gays and lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle." Host Pat Robertson responds: "Well, I totally concur." 2002 The Rev. Michael Bray, a convicted abortion clinic bomber and leading advocate ofmurdering abortion doctors, praises Saudi Arabia for beheading three gay men on New Year's Day. "Let us give thanks," Bray proclaims. "Let us welcome these tools of purification. Open the borders! Bring in some agents of cleansing." 2003 Alan Sears, head ofthe Alliance Defense Fund, co-authors The Homosexual Agenda, a book that asserts gay activists' ultimate goal is "silencing" conservative Christians. Sears also accuses cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants of being gay. The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court rules 4-3 that gay and lesbian couples have a right to marry. In the Washington Dispatch, legendary fundamentalist organizer Paul Weyrich declares marriage "The Final Frontier for Civili2:ation as We Know It." The U.S. Supreme Court overturns state anti-sodomy statutes in Lawrence v. Texas, ruling that gay people are entitled to "an autonomy of self that includes freedom of thought, belief, expression, and certain intimate conduct." Dissenting Justice Antonin Scalia complains that "the court has largely signed onto the so-called homosexual agenda." 2004 Constitutional amendments prohibiting same-sex marriage pass by wide margins in all 11 states, including Ohio and Oregon. Anti-gay groups meet in Washington, D.C., to plan for 10 more state initiatives in 2005. James Dobson's Focus on the Family Action organizes "Mayday for Marriage" rallies in six major cities to promote anti-gay marriage ballot initiatives in 11 states. An estimated 150,000 turn out for Oct. 15 protest in Washington, D.C., where Dobson declares, "[E)verytbing we care about is on the line. It's now or never." 5/19/2005 �Page 7 of? San Francisco officials begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples in February, with a handful of other U.S. municipalities following suit. Later that month, President George W. Bush announces his support for a Federal Marriage Amendment to the Constitution. 5/19/2005 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Well, that is what Tulsa Oklahomans for Human Rights (TOHR) will be hosting Friday, June 9, 2006 at the Gilcrease Museum. Imagine sipping champagne with Tallulah Bankhead, dining with Horatio Alger, having a cocktail with Josephine Baker, chatting with Frances Faye - they will all be there, in costume, of course. This evening will in part serve to recognize State Senator Bernest Cain for his lifelong commitment to protecting the human rights of all people of Oklahoma. Senator Cain will be receiving TOHR’s Lifetime Achievement Award, a special honor for those who have provided ongoing leadership and support in the gay, lesbian, bisexual & transgender community. Lynn Jones, retired Major with Tulsa Police force, as this year’s event Chair and Nancy and Dr. Joseph McDonald as Honorary Chairs, we would love to have you at this grand event. It is only appropriate that the words to John Lennon’s song “Imagine” will be a gift to each guest. Twenty-five years ago a small group of caring people started an organization seeking equality for gays and lesbians. Thanks to you and other generous people, Tulsa Oklahomans for Human Rights has grown into one of the largest and oldest GLBT organizations in Oklahoma. The year 2006 will find us in a permanent TOHR-owned 18,000 square-foot Community Center at 4th & Kenosha in Tulsa’s East Village, within walking distance to downtown and the Brady Arts District – all vibrant urban spaces. TOHR will provide even more services for our community in the new GLBT Center. TOHR Director Greg Gatewood, Oklahoma’s only full-time GLBT advocate, with the help of an ever-increasing number of volunteers, supervises 20 programs, a Help/Info Line that fields nearly 3,000 calls annually and the Tulsa GLBT Community Center. The Center is on track to welcome over 10,000 individuals this year. The David Bohnett CyberCenter, with 10 on-line computers, provides Internet access and computer training to hundreds of people each month. The expanded Center will allow for larger events and additional programs to serve not only the GLBT & allied community, but the entire Tulsa community. The expanded Center will include leased retail space, creating the potential for a GLBT neighborhood - something our community has been seeking for years.

Title A name given to the resource Vote delayed again on gay pride parade Subject The topic of the resource Pride 1999 Description An account of the resource Newspaper article about Tulsa City Council delaying voting on a permit for Pride 1999. Councilor Darla Hall, absent from the meeting, requested that the vote be postponed. She also delayed the vote in the previous week’s meeting, even though the city council usually approved such requests as soon as possible. Councilor Sam Roop announced plans to introduce a resolution distancing city council from the pride parade. He says that he believes people should tolerate those who are different, but does not support “the gay pride agenda.” Parade Chairman Mitchell Savage interviewed, says that such resolutions are discriminatory when only applied to select groups. Councilors claimed that the parade route would be blocked for 2 1⁄2 hours. Mitchell Savage says this is misleading as the route will open up as the parade passes. 1999 was the first year for full-blown parade.

Heather, who has worked in publishing, is cun’ently a student in OU’s College of Law.

The law decrees that Oklahoma "shall not recognize an adoption by more than one individual of the same sex from any other state or foreign jurisdiction." But in addition to preventing future Oklahoma recognition of adoptions occurring in other states or nations, the law could also be interpreted to nullify existing adoptions whenever families come into our state. Anne and Heather’s neighbors recognize that they are their children’s mothers, but will the State of Oklahoma? The law threatens families and endangers parents’ relations with their children. With the help of Lambda Legal, Anne and Heather have joined together with a number of other parents and children and sued to overturn this hurtful law. Brian Chase, Lambda Legal Staff Attorney, has criticized State legislators "who disapprove of gay people and lashed out by passing a law that punishes children for having gay or lesbian parents." The law should be found unconstitutional and in violation of the 14th Amendment, which guarantees equal protection, and the Full Faith and Credit clause of the U.S. constitution. Anne and Heather have won their first round in federal court. The State filed a motion to dismiss the suit under the 1 lt~ amendment and lost. It has, however, taken this loss to the 10ta Circuit Court Court of Appeals in Denver. Anne and Heather’s family will be caught in the courts for some time to come. TOHR members can help by talking to friends and neighbors to help them understand that strong Oklahoma families come in all shapes and sizes. TOHR supporters might also attend PFLAG’s Lobbying Day at the State Capital on April 6 (see back cover for details) and buttonhole legislators urging them to rescind this attack on Oklahoma’s families and children. �UPCOMING TOHR EVENTS CALENDAR April 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 -- Movie Nights at the Center.

In tbis edition, Nancy McDonaM of PFLAG’s Tulsa Chapter describes the history and mission of this important and supportive organization. In 1972, Morton Manf~rd was physi~ cally ariacked at a gay rights demonstration in New York. It just happen to be the Stonewall Bar. MorO’s parents, Jeanne and Jules Manford, saw the attack on a local newscast and witnessed the failure of the police to intervene, Their outrage turned them into activists. The concept of PFLAG began in 1972 when Jeanne Manford lnarched with her gay son in New York’s first PRIDE Day Parade. During and after the parade many g~y men and lesbians ran up to Jeanne and begged her to talk to their parents. Jeanne decided to begin a support group. Approximately 20 people attended the first formal meeting held in March 1973 at a local church. In the next years, through word of mouth and in response to communit3, need, similar groups sprung up around the country, offering "safe havens" and mutual support for parents with gay and lesbian cbildren. Following the 1979 National March for Gay and Lesbian Rights, representatives from these support groups met for tbe first time in Washington, DC and in !981, members decided to launch a national organization. The first PFLAG office was established in Los Angeles under founding President Adele Start’. In 1982, the Federation of Parents and Friends (PFLAG), then comprising some 20 groups, incorporated in California and was declared a nonprofit organization. In 1990, fo[Iowinga period of enormous growth, PFLAG hired an Executive Director, added family to its name, and became a membersbip based organization. PFLAG Tulsa was organized as a Chapter in I987. The Metropolitan Community Church hosted a group of interested people to ascertain interest in organizing a Chapter. Three Tulsa Families decided to formally organize the Tulsa Chapter and there bas been steady growth in membership. We affiliated with the National organization in 1988 and were the 27th Chapter to be organized. There are now 500 Chapters in the United States. The vision of the organization is, "We, the parents, families m~d friends of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trangender persons, celebrate diversily and envision a society that embraces everyone, including those of diverse sexual orientations and gender identifies. Only with respect, digni~ and equaliW for all will we reach our full poten- tia[ as human beings, individually and collectively." PFLAG welcomes the participation and suppol~ of all who share in, and hope to realize, this viOur mission is to promote the health and well being of GLBT persons, their families and fi’iends through: support, to cope with an adverse society; education, to enlighten an ill in,brined public, and advocacy to end discrimination and secure equal civil rights. PFLAG provides an opportunity for dialogue about sexual orientation and gender identity and acts to create a society that is healthy and respectful of human diversity. The Tulsa chapter offers support groups for parents, family members, and friends who learn they have a child, sibling, relative or friend who is GLBT as well as GLBT persons who are considering coming out to their families. Members are actively engaged in educafion of self, family, fi-iends and the community at large. They make presentations to schools, community groups, nonprofit organizations and civic clubs plus provide information to any person or group requesting this, Tbey hold monthly educational meetings, The chapter is actively engaged in advocacy and has participated in lobbying days at the State Capitol, speaking before committees at the Legislature, working for safe schools, meeting with editorial boards, State Representatives, State Senators, CiW Council members, etc. We welcome anyone to join the organization and ceriainly encourage parents to participate.

Newspapers are full of announcements publicizing special events and services to cornrent interpretations. Lost among the publicity of services for Yulsa’s religious community was one rather historic and unique evem for those who identify themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and their friends and families. The LGBT community held a Joint Palm Sunday Service for affirming and inclusive churches, a first time event they hope to recreate annually. SCANDALS! Homophobic society regularly suffers scandals and sex panics, and Tulsa has been no exception. The case of Billy James Hargis (1925-2004) was one of the most lurid of these. Hargis rose to fame as leader of the Christian Crusade and American Christian College, once located on S. Sheridan Ave. Hargis gained a national reputation, while working as a pastor in Sapulpa in the 1950s, for preaching the perils of communism and its godless allies that had infiltrated government, business, unions, Hollywood, and the mainline Protestant churches. He ran with this message onto TV and radio. But Hargis is even more famous as the first televangelist to be burned by Gay sex. His organization, in 1968, had published is the School House the Proper Place to Teach Raw Sex? But in 1974, according to Time magazine. Hargis officiated at the wedding of two of his students who discovered that both had lost their virginity to him. Three young men in the college’s choir (All-American Kids) next revealed that Hargis had sexually abused them for several years. Hargis resigned from the College which went bankrupt, its campus later purchased by OU’s College of Medicine. Buddhist temples, synagogues, almost every branch of the Christian faith include gay believers. The Diversity Interfaith Service has always been one of the pillars of Pride Week. a week of celebration and honor for the LGBT community, so it was not difficult to assemble several pastors, ministers and churches for an afternoon of worship. With 23 churches represented, Diversity Christian Fellowship International hosted the afternoon in their newly remodeled sanetuary. Dr. Mark Bighley. organist for Bethany Lutheran Church, played the processional piece "Glory, Laud, and Honor." Reverend Rad~brd Rader, pastor of College Hill Presbyterian, led the Invocation with a Biblical reference to Elijah’s lament of solitude and discovery of other like churches. Andre Martin, Music Minister at Unity Church of Christianity, set the tone of the service as he sang "In This Very Room" before Mark Bonney, president of Tulsa Oklahoman’s for Human Rights, graciously greeted the participants while recognizing the comfort that so many find within their own faith and individual ministers and pastors. Reverend Culliver Brool~nan, minister of Unity Churcb of Christianity, read a passage from the Hebrew Scriptures, followed by the Voices Praise Team from College Hill Presbyterian Church who led the service in a contemporary direction, CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS!

John Mercer, chairperson of the Deacon Board at Fellowship Congregational Church UCC, read a passage from Psahns. Chaz Gaut, pianist at Unity Church of Christianity, played the offertory hymn, "We Shall Behold Him" as ushers collected an offering designated for the continued work of TOHR, with Reverend Cathy Elliot, Pastor of Metropolitan Christian Church United, blessing it. Reverend Barney McLaughlin. minister at Bethany Christian Church, read a passage from the Epistle to the Philippians and Paul Allen, worship leader at Metropolitan Community Church United, sang "Written in Red" which introduced the Gospel reading by Reverend Alice Jones, pastor of Genesis Ministries, depicting Jesus entering Jerusalem. Reverend Leslie Penrose, pastor of Community of Hope UCC, took the historic account mid weaved a modemday reflection of how Jesus’ disciples loved the parade atmosphere of the triumphal entry but the work of the cross was still ahead. "We too love the parade of Palm Sunday, but there is still so much work that is ahead of us," said Penrose. She praised significant accomplishments within the I~st 30 years saying, "At this time, we associate Gay with Marriage and not Gay with AIDS. Diversity 2005 will feature an even bigger parade, more live entertainment by our local stars, more gaines and fun for the kids, and more activities for youth. Even though these three groups are pulling together there is much still to do. Volunteers, sponsors, and colnmunity chairs are needed to help make the day a success. The next volunteer planning meeting takes place April 2 at 10:00 a.m. atthe GLBT community center.

Where is’ homeJbr you? CE: I moved to Tulsa when I was 8 so this is definitely where I call home. TORCH." How did you become involved with TOHR? CE: I started volunteering with TOHR in October of 2004 when I answered a cry for volunteers through an online support group. I jumped right in and began helping organize TOHR’s public communications, sending emails and making phone calls. I also suggested a number of changes I thought would beneficial to the organization. In February, I received a call asking me to take over as volunteer coordinator and in March I was elected to the TOHR board. TORCH." How is’ it coordinating TOHR’s volunteers? CE: Honestly, I haven’t had to do much at this point. I have scheduled some training dates this Spring. I am also signing up new volunteers who are excited about what TOHR is doing in our community. I think the biggest advantage of my position is the opportunity to meet new, amazing people. The hardest part so far: Convincing people that change is a good thing. CE: In addition to regular volunteer hours needed to keep the Center open, Tulsa’s Diversity Celebration is coming up this June 4-11. Everyday of that week will offer new and exciting ways to take part in the celebrations. There is something for everyone, everyday. Whether you like parties and parades or greeting and cleaning, I have something planned for you! TORCH." And are there new ways in which people can vohmteer to help TOHR serve the community? ing the LGBT community and thanked them for their years of solitary service. Reverend Penrose used a timeline to describe how churches began to open up and new ministries were founded to minister to the spiritual needs of the community, stating "we were challenged to create a new world." Reverend Chuck Breckenridge of Diversity Christian Fellowship International presided over the communion portion of the service with the very touching words: "we say with Jesus, we have been waiting for you," as the congregation joined each other at the open communion table. Mark Watkins, Minister of Liturgical Worship and the Arts at Fellowship Congregational Church UCC, directed their choir in two musical selections, with Victor Evans, Minister of Music at Community of Hope UCC, accompanying them. Bishop Rick Hotlingsworth, founder of The Parish Church of Saint Jerome thanked everyone for their attendance and participation and gave the final benediction and blessing.

OPEN Tues-Sat. 6:00-9:00 PM 5545 E. 41st St., Inside the Tulsa GLBT Community Center �GARRETT LAW OFFICE, R C. tulsa glbt history project Tulsa Oklahomans for Human Rights (TOHR) sponsored Tulsa’s first community PRIDE picnic (now the Tulsa PRIDE Festival) in 1982 at Chandler Park. In those years, socialization was very important and TOHR offered a useful way to meet other GLBT people. The picnic featured activities such as softball, volleyball, and sack and high heel races. It was a true picnic in the sense that people brought their own coolers, food and blankets and shared their experiences of living in Tulsa during what was a very difficult time for the GLBT community. This was just at the onset of the AIDS epidemic and many of those who participated in the first picnic have passed on. We honor their memories during TOHR "s 25tt’ anniversary year, and the upcoming "Diversity Celebration 2005 Tulsa PRIDE!" I moved to Tulsa in May 1981. I had just out of the Navy and finished graduate school, moving to Tulsa to go to work for the same institution to which I am still employed. Those were wonderful days for me. AIDS hadn’t reared its deadly head as yet; the oil crunch hadn’t caused scores of professionals to move to greener pastures. OHR (what was to become TOHR) had just been established here and it seemed to me that all one had to say was "OHR is planning..." and people showed up by the hundreds--whether it was a picnic at Chandler Park, a baseball game at Henthorne, or the Turn-About Show at the Homebuilders’ Association building. Everyone wanted to be there. The first picnic took place summer 1982. I remember it was hot (no shock I’m sure), but many were pressed and dressed--remember preppy was in. We all seemed so young (we were actually) and nothing seemed impossible. Dennis i Neill and TOHR officers had created a venue whereby gay people from all over Green Country could gather and celebrate their hard-won individuality. The Stonewall Riots were a very recent memory then and the gay community seemed to feel part of the fabric of America. I think we felt good about ourselves and hoped that the future would bring other advancements in the cause of the rights of gay, bi-sexual, lesbian and transgendered people everywhere. That first picnic may then be compared to other halcyon days in history--those precious times prior to events that forever changed the fabric of society. We were young, proud, and defiant--we had everything to gain and, we thought, nothing to lose. The AIDS crisis was and is pure tragedy, but we have come through it stronger, and even more defiant than before. Here’s to all those wonderful people from that first picnic--whether you’re still with us or whether your spirit guides us from other plains of existence. We salute you. -- Mike Williams & Dennis Neil Garrett Law Office, EC. ~is an association of lawyers with one common goal: to serve the public interest by representing injured persons or persons with property damage who are susceptible to possible unfair treatment by insurance companies.

He returned to Harvard Divinity School and received a Masters Degree in Theology in 1999, Rice later moved to New York City to work as a freelance documentary producer and editor. In his public advocacy work, Rice repeatedly bumped up against stubborn limits impeding efforts to hold representatives accountable to our nation’s core principles. He decided, therefore, to run for office himself. He says, "I am running for Senate to represent my district in a manner that has all of our resident’s interests in mind, to counter the trends in local government that disrespect the guidance of our constitution, and to represent values that are more broadly defined and inclusive than the often closed-minded and self-righteous values we see and hear so much about these days from certain sectors of our society."
