Title A name given to the resource Harry Jacobus Collection Description An account of the resource Harry Jacobus was deeply involved in the San Francisco Abstract Expressionism movement of the early 1950s. After serving in World War II, he moved to California, enrolling first at the Oakland School of Arts and Crafts and later The California School of Fine Arts, where he studied with Clyfford Still and David Park. He also met fellow student Jess, and in turn Robert Duncan. Together, they opened the King Ubu Gallery in December 1952, which quickly—though briefly—became the center of the avant garde art, music, and poetry scene in San Francisco. The King Ubu Gallery hosted exhibitions by artists such as Elmer Bischoff, David Park, Hassel Smith, Jess, Lyn Brockway, Roy De Forest, and Deborah Remington, as well as poetry readings and performances. During the 50s and 60s, Jacobus traveled through Europe, particularly Hydra, Greece, as well as Mexico. Back in California, he lived at the "Ghost House" on Franklin Street and later in Stinson Beach, always remaining close to Duncan and Jess, physically as well as artistically. Jacobus was profoundly influenced by Duncan and Jess’s ideas about imagination, as well as by French Modern painters, particularly les Fauves. Artists and critics often focus on the romanticism, color, and light of Jacobus’s paintings. Duncan called him “a painter in a mixed light,” noting that his work "is an intimation of the beauty around us as it is within us."

Title A name given to the resource Harry Jacobus Collection Description An account of the resource Harry Jacobus was deeply involved in the San Francisco Abstract Expressionism movement of the early 1950s. After serving in World War II, he moved to California, enrolling first at the Oakland School of Arts and Crafts and later The California School of Fine Arts, where he studied with Clyfford Still and David Park. He also met fellow student Jess, and in turn Robert Duncan. Together, they opened the King Ubu Gallery in December 1952, which quickly—though briefly—became the center of the avant garde art, music, and poetry scene in San Francisco. The King Ubu Gallery hosted exhibitions by artists such as Elmer Bischoff, David Park, Hassel Smith, Jess, Lyn Brockway, Roy De Forest, and Deborah Remington, as well as poetry readings and performances. During the 50s and 60s, Jacobus traveled through Europe, particularly Hydra, Greece, as well as Mexico. Back in California, he lived at the "Ghost House" on Franklin Street and later in Stinson Beach, always remaining close to Duncan and Jess, physically as well as artistically. Jacobus was profoundly influenced by Duncan and Jess’s ideas about imagination, as well as by French Modern painters, particularly les Fauves. Artists and critics often focus on the romanticism, color, and light of Jacobus’s paintings. Duncan called him “a painter in a mixed light,” noting that his work "is an intimation of the beauty around us as it is within us."

Ideal for comfort and style, denim is quite the ubiquitous fabric. Today though, jeans are more than just jeans — the piece of apparel is also a symbol of gay pride. “Gay Jeans Day” is just one aspect of “Coming Out Week,” a week-long affair which runs from Oct. 11 to Oct. 15. During this week, the movement encourages homosexuals to acknowledge their identity, and everyone else is encouraged to promote tolerance and understanding, regardless of sexual orientation. However, some students feel offended that wearing blue jeans automatically admits them into “Gay Jeans Day” festivities. “I’m not gay and I’m not wearing jeans as a sign of support for anything!” said one UB student. His opinion does not stand alone; many students have voiced con cerns about the use of jeans — a common component to any wardrobe — as an icon for a set of beliefs. “Being gay is just as normal and natural as wearing jeans. There is nothing unusual about wearing jeans, so this is an example of how there’s nothing unusual about being gay,” said Michele Tucker, the coordinator of the Coming Out Support Group and a member of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Alliance. “We understand that a lot of peo ple may be offended by Gay Jeans see JEANS page 9 �Jeans greatest audience. If we said that our events were just ‘a gay thing’ then no one would be interested in attending.” Tucker also said that LGBA would incorporate gay history into both performances and that the club encouraged peo­ ple to take a stand against intolerance by promoting understanding for differences. “Even though we want everyone to have a good time, one of our main goals is to educate people,” she added. During Coming Out Week, the LGBA will also support many causes that affect the gay community. One benefit includes GRASP, a program in which homosexuals openly discuss what it means to be gay. The LGBA will also host a conference on the weekend of March 26, which they boast as the largest LGBA conference in the Northeast. “It’s more important then ever for people to see that we’re a part of the community and that we shouldn’t be stig­ matized or ignored,” said DiCano.

The professional drag show will take place in the Student Union Lobby from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. today. “It’s important to the stu­ dents of UB to see that we’re having a good time and that being visible isn’t political,” Tucker said. Mocking criticism that LGBA isn’t active enough in procuring gay rights, posters advertising the show sarcasti­ cally proclaimed, “Because all we do is drag shows.” DiCano refuted the allega­ tion. “It’s not all about drag shows,” he said. “However, it’s the drag shows that have the most uni­ versal appeal and attract the from front page NOT JUST ABOUT DRAG SHOWS: Various pieces of activist lit erature decorate LGBA’s office walls on the third floor of the Union. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Education and unity were the aims of the event, which saw participation from all over the tri­ state area. SA Vice President Rob Kubiak kicked off the event with an opening speech. “Out, Proud and Loud ’98 is special for many reasons; it is a conference that opens minds and brings out understand­ ing, awareness and acceptance of the issues that face many gay, lesbian and bisexual individuals in today’s society,” he said. The events began on Friday night with a women’s comedy trio called Utopia Roaming. They performed avant-garde skits to help explain the life and meaning of lesbian women. The performances were highly sexually oriented, featuring large vulva, tongue and breast replicas imitating sexual acts. The trio travels around the state performing for audiences of all ages. Jayne Weber, a member of the trio, explained that when it comes to children, “we are a little more contemporary ... we use simpler ideas like your dreams.” The next morning, workshops dealing lers Denying olent Felons Allen Kennessy, a pre-law student at SUNY Albany, also supports Jenna’s Law. “These kinds of crimes affect more than just the friends and family of the victim,” said Kennessy, “they destroy the comfort­ able and safe feeling that should surround the university environment; it places a black cloud over the entire school.” However, according to Anderson, sup­ port for Jenna’s Law has not been univer­ sal. He said that much of the opposition to Jenna’s Law is based on the philosophy and purpose of parole. According to Anderson, the “opposition Randy Walner / The Spectrum By ROB GRANT Spectrum Staff Writer One of the events of the “Out, Proud and Loud ’98” celebration of UB’s LGBA was a play in the Student Union this weekend. with serious issues such as safe sex, gay adoption, women’s writing and art and “Queers Locked Up” were held. Organiz ers said that many different types of peo ple were represented at the workshops but attendance was predominately homosexu al. In the afternoon, the key speaker of the weekend, Urvashi Vaid, author of “Virtual Equality: The Mainstreaming of Gay & Lesbian Liberation,” spoke about homo sexuality. Her talk centered on what gays have achieved and where they are headed. “We have not reached Nirvana. . . . There are only 10 states that have gay rights laws ... we have not won the right to marry in any state,” Vaid said. After a long day of serious discussion, people were invited to go to Club Marcel­ la for a drag show. There was a midget drag queen, Ice in the urinals and men in drag in the ladies room. Consuela, a drag queen from RIT, said, “Its fun and money.” He explained that when in drag, the men are to be treated like women. “When I’m in the bar and with customers I want to be called by my drag name, Honey,” said Consuela. The final morning of the conference featured more workshops and concluded with a presentation by photographer Car­ olyn Jones. Jones published a book of photos called “Living Proof: Courage in the Face of AIDS,” which depicted people living positively with AIDS. She told the story of each person in the photos to help remind people that they can live with AIDS. During her presentation, some members of the audience shed tears over the stories and photos. Bhavana Chawla, organizer of the con­ ference, said, “We want people to come share, care, smile, be warm and educate,. . . . we want to raise awareness.” She said the event was not only for gays but for everyone with a thirst for understanding. DeeDee Sprague, a freshmen at Syra­ cuse University, came to attend the event and said it was definitely worthwhile. “It’s been fantastic, an opportunity to learn from each other and not just because you’re queer ... a big melting pot of peo­ ple with one thing in common,” he said. Another Syracuse freshman, Billy Clarke, criticized only the organization of the event. “It could have been a tiny bit better organized,” he said. A few of the conference evaluations indicated the same and also harshly criticized the conference, based on the length of several of the events. Overall, however, organizers hailed the event a success. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The idea behind Coming Out Week is to put people thinking about coming out more at ease with their sexuality, according to its founders. The week is also a celebration of pride, freedom and acceptance for straight, as well as gay, people. Traditionally, “Drag perfor mances brought the (gay) com munity together for entertainment, while the drag queen’s humor defended a community under attack,” said Heidi Ravenel, LGBA secretary, in her speech at the start of the performance. “No tongue was sharper than the drag queen’s, and this aptitude for biting humor was used both as a defense against harassment and a method for restoring the atmos­ phere after a police raid,” Ravenal said. “Drag queens could turn oppression into humor — a vital tactic for survival in an extremely hostile world.” As art was essential in the fight for black civil liberties, freedom of expression is seen as essential in the continuing struggle for homosexual rights. “Butch lesbians also practiced a form of drag that was essential to the survival of the gay com munity,” said Ravenel. “What the butch lesbian lacked in the atricality she more than made up for in her ability to defend against physical violence.” The drag show was a huge draw, and students came to watch the performers for various reasons. Udi Ofer brought his see DRAG QUEENS page 8 Andy McLeod/The Spectrum RACHAEL KERI WILLIAMS JAMAL HALAWA Feature Editors Drag queen, Fantasy Island, entertains and educates the crowd in the Union Wednesday during National Coming Out Week. �Drag Queens men’s studies class down to see the show. “We study American mas culinity; what makes a man a man and a woman a woman,” Ofer said. “Drag queens are an example of the ambiguity of masculinity,” he explained. The greatest number of stu­ dents and onlookers were probably not watching for any academic reasons. Almost everyone was having a good time, laughing, clapping, whistling and cheering on the courageous performers. “This is pretty good — there’s a lot of people,” said Fred Williamson, a UB student. But not everyone there was having a good time. Some people stuck around to watch even though they were admit tedly “disgusted” by the show. “This degrades women,” said UB student Joanne Lewis. “Women should be women and men should be men,” Lewis continued, disagreeing with Ravenel’s statements that cross-dressing is a way to com bat traditional gender roles and sexism, and is a source of empowerment for women. Amy Smith, a friend of Lewis’, supported her remarks. Smith said, “I don’t understand why they come out and show their sexuality like this; it makes me sick,” refer ring not only to drag queens but homosexuals in general. When asked why they were watching when they indicated disgust with the whole con cept, Lewis said, “My friends were here, it’s something to laugh at.” Smith added, “It’s curiosity, you know; curiosity kills you.” Another female student in the group comment ed, “It’s like seeing clowns dressed up at the circus.” from front page While performer Asia Black danced and lip-synched to a RuPaul song, Smith, Lewis and other friends stood in the balcony sneering and making rude gestures. Asia Black had a few things to say about criticism. She gets a lot of it, she said, especially from black women. “A lot of (black) girls come down to my shows, take me aside and ask why I do this,” said Black. “I tell them it's just a job — I’m not trying to steal their man.” Black feels that “a lot of black women don’t like what (black drag queens) do. Nowadays (black women) wear a lot of baggy pants, sweatshirts, hoop earrings — they dress like men. We bring glamour,” said Black “They’re mad because we look better than them.” Black shrugs off any nega tivity — it doesn’t really bother her. She says drag is a good way to make money and that “being a woman is easy to me.” She is very con vincing as a woman - she recently stepped down as Miss Gay Buffalo, an honor bestowed upon the city’s greatest drag queen. Despite scattered hostile reactions, including a rumor that “some girls in the audi ence were giving Asia Black the finger,” the show struck a chord of solidarity in the gay community, Ravenel concluded her speech by saying, “Drag con tinues to be an integral part of gay culture and our most visible enactment of resis tance to forced heterosexuali ty. Drag is one of our most important sources of pride and community celebration.” Gay Community Celebrates NANSEN NG Spectrum Staff Writer A celebration of the inalien­ able right of all humankind to life, liberty, justice and the free­ dom to love and cherish individ­ uals of their own choice received attention on campus this week. Today is National Coming Out Day, dedicated to gays, lesbians and bisexuals who want to reveal their homosexuality. The day commemorates a march for gay rights that took place on October 11, 1987 in Washington, D.C. This year, the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Aliiance expanded National Coming Out Day to an entire week. Events to raise awareness of homosexuality included a panel discussion on sexual and women’s right. Later in the week there were films and a drag show. On Wednesday, Gay Jeans Day, the LGBA reached out to the entire UB community, asking people to show support by wear­ ing blue jeans. Tim Allen, co­ president of the LGBA, said, “Gay Jeans Day is an easy way to show support. ... It demonstrates that queer people are among the population everyday and that you cannot tell by looking at people that they are not straight.” Heidi Ravenel, secretary of the LGBA explained that wear ing jeans is something people take for granted every day. “Another idea behind Gay Jeans Day is that every day straight people take for granted their safety by not having to think about their sexuality or its implications, and that gay people do think about it everyday,” Ravenel said. However, some people wore blue jeans without realizing the day was Gay Jeans Day. A UB student who wished to remain anonymous said, “I for got it was Gay Jeans Day this morning. I was too busy trying to get out the door to think about what I was doing.” Some members of the UB community were not in favor of Coming Out Week. “I believe that the behavior of homosexuality is wrong but I don’t hate homosexuals and I don’t believe the Bible teaches that Christians should hate homosexuals,” said Jennifer Bliss, a full-time worker for UB’s chapter of Brothers and Sisters in Christ. “People who call themselves homosexuals have a problem when Christians speak against homosexuality because they feel that that’s who they are and they don’t distinguish it as a behav ior,” she said. “I guess it bothers me that a behavior that I consider sinful is being celebrated,” said Bliss. Outside the Student Union, chalk-written messages covered the path to Founder’s Plaza and up Putnam’s Way. Messages to promote National Coming Out Week covered the ground with statements such as, “UB Gay?!” and, “Queers are fabulous.” Freedom Rings were available at the LGBA table. They are string necklaces with different colored rings with an explana tion attached that explained, “The colors of the rainbow have been adopted by the gay community When you can to symbolize the support of diversity in society. Freedom rings were designed by David Spada and have become an icon of gay culture.” After the performance, the Drag Queen Show featured various drag queens from Western New York, including a UB student. Drag Queen Kendall Kelly, a.k.a. Orgasmatron, said, “I’ve been in bands for years, and I just wanted to keep performing. I went to one of the shows at the Club Marcella in Rochester, and I thought it looked interesting. I just did it and it took off.” Sitting at one of the LGBA booths, Eugene Abrahamson gave his view on drag. “They’re visual role models. We do describe ourselves by our sexual orientation . . . gay or straight. Some do drag because it’s an artistic form, to raise money or bring recognition to the gay com munity.” Roy Klein, a senior majoring in communications, said, “The fact that there are so many people here today goes to show that peo ple really support gay rights in the university, and I think it’s real nice what we’re seeing here.” Although many people watched the show, not each individual had the same attitude as Klein. “It’s scary. I’ve never experienced anything like this before,” said Wolletta Scott, a senior majoring in English. “I don’t support them. God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.” Twelve members of the LGBA will be going to Wash ington, D.C. today to represent UB at the Gay Youth March. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Despite the variety of events that we have hosted in the past several years, I am disappointed that few graduate students find the time to take part in what should be an integral part of their graduate education. In the past few years that I have been president, we have attempted to provide an outlet beyond the club scene for gay/lesbian/bisexual/queer graduate students. It is unfortunate that the lack of interest in our organization has forced us to close and to force graduate students back into the club scene yet again. Had people only appreciated us when we were there: one point to note is that we are the only gay and lesbian graduate student organization in Western New York. Some of the events which we have hosted in the past few years are the following: - Salon Q: monthly university- and community-based round-table for discussion of non­ heterosexual issues. - film purchases and screenings: we have bought several queer videos for the Video Library of Lockwood Library (available at Capen) including titles such as Boys Shorts, Last Call at Mauds. In the past we have also held screenings in conjunction with the undergraduate group LGBA. - social gatherings: at the different clubs as well as at several coffeehouses, e.g. Java Temple - workshops/seminars: our most recent was last year on graduate teaching assistants and coming out to their students with guest speakers from the UB graduate school administration. - guest lecturers: our most recent was last year: Roey Thorpe from Cornell University. Topic: Lesbian Communities in Detroit, Michigan, in the 1940s and 1950s. I am most deeply disturbed that despite all these offerings we will have to cease to exist, making it all the more difficult to start the club up again in the future. The only way we can save the club is for enough interested persons to show up at this week’s meeting to elect enough officers (4) to replace the four 3rd and 4th-year grad students who are currently officers. The club needs new members who can inject new energy into our organization.

Campus Editor In order to promote understanding and respect among individuals of all sexual orientations, mem bers of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Alliance and other UB students have created a Gender Roles and Sexuality Program, also known as GRASP. The LGBA and Epsilon Nu Omega, a service fraternity, conducted a workshop to present the program to other UB students last Wednesday, but no students showed. The only people attending were the presenters from LGBA. ‘Over the last two years we have done 50 to 60 programs — from Canisius to Niagara Uni versity to Nazareth College. Usually there are a lot of people,” said Tina Barfoot, UB student and one of the creators of the program . The Gender Roles and Sexuality Program got its start when Chris Goffredo, another of its creators, and Barfoot were students at Canisius College. “I was at Canisius, a close-minded school in need of (sexual orientation) education. Chris and I decided to come up with an education program we could take to high schools and colleges,” said Bar foot. “It took 12 months to create the packets — we were constantly revising it.” The program begins with an introduction section, which lets everyone in the room know who is heterosexual and who is homo sexual, and a suicide poem is read dealing with gay teen suicide. The second section is titled “BINGAY.” This section is used as an icebreaker to give members of the workshop an idea of what they actually know about gay, lesbian and bisexual culture. The third part involves various members of LGBA telling their stories about what it is like to come out and tell people they are gay. A questionand-answer section follows. The fourth part, “Guided Journey,” involves an exercise that goes through a person’s life and gives them a chance to see what it would be like to grow up in a heterosexual society when the person is not heterosexual. A question-and-answer period fol lows that section as well. The program also provides a comprehensive booklet contain­ ing definitions used in dealing with everyday homosexuality — a true/false section and a questionnaire to determine how much a person knows about homo­ sexuality. There is also a section explaining statistics and symbols dealing with homo sexuals. The last page of the booklet is a questionnaire about the program and its effectiveness. “The program’s doing great — so far we have only received two negative evaluations,” said Barfoot. The program is used in UB sexual educa tion classes in deal ing with homosexual awareness training. According to Ellen Christensen, direc tor of Health and Human Services for Sub Board I, the program has been “very effective” in training leaders in the peer education program. But, Christensen would like to see a lot more done with the program. “I would like to see a program instated at the university that deals with sexual education,” she said. “Even college students, who should be educat ed, aren’t. They are afraid of the topic (of homosexuality), and the way GRASP presents (the information) helps.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The annual event will promote the gay liberation movement at the University at Buffalo by celebrat ing and spreading gay awareness. National Coming Out Day/Gay Jeans Day is Tuesday, October 11. The all-day event will fea ture a performance by popular Buffalo cross-dresser/drag queen Chevon Davis from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Student Union lobby. During the day, tables will be set up with information about LGBA; t-shirts and buttons will be on sale. There will also be a window display in the UGL of gay symbols and their meanings. A social meeting and buffet are scheduled to be held in the evening from 5 to 9 p.m in room 145B Student Union. Admission is free for UB students and there is a $2 fee for non-students. Members of UB’s gay, lesbian and bisexual community have strong feelings about the impor tance of this event. “National Coming Out Day is a way to reclaim our identities from society. It’s our Indepen dence day; It’s about being able to recognize, love and accept yourself,” said Anders Butler Jr., former president of LGBA. Coming out However UB students in gen eral have mixed opinions about National Coming Out Day. Christine, a UB student, com mented, “Why not? It will make people more aware of our society and that it’s not just a heterosex ual society.” Jason, another UB student, added, “I think the concept of a National Coming Out Day is kind of amusing, because sexuality doesn’t exist just for a day, its a lifestyle. You should be aware of who you are all the time and be free to express it. Trying to sup­ Liberation movement According to Margaret Cruik shank, an expert on the gay liber ation movement, “Before this decade, for most college stu dents, homosexuality was either shrouded in silence or mentioned briefly as a perversion - an ill ness or threat to society or sim ply as an embarrassment.” “But today because of the growth of gay liberation and because of AIDS, students are more likely than their counterparts decade ago to understand that gay rights is a major social and politi­ cal movement and some of them will expect to read about it in col lege courses,” Cruik shank added. “If you are going to In addition to active promotion of second-guess your daily the gay liberation wardrobe over this event, movement, LGBA then perhaps you should has made efforts to provide AIDS aware take a look at yourself and ness education for the ask why you are intimidated.” entire UB community. “We hand out Anders Butler Jr. pamphlets, do AIDS former president of LGBA community service and try to spread The display of pink and black gay awareness among students.” balloons can be traced back to .

A UB English major said,” I think its kind of stupid to have a day just to express your sexual orientation.” The concept of Gay Jeans Day is often misunderstood. “Jeans are every day clothes, just as gays, les bians and bisexuals are out there everyday. It is a conscious way of connecting two every day things.” “If you are going to secondguess your daily wardrobe over this event, then perhaps you should take a look at yourself and ask why you are intimidat ed,” Butler said. Friday October 7, 1994 ♦ The Spectrum 3 �LGBA from page 3 take a back seat in SA and in the community,” said LGBA mem­ ber Jeff Logan. “Last spring the sports club coordinator wanted to take away the LGBA office and replace it with a smaller one.” Vandalism has also been a per­ petual problem. Many members of UB’s gay community have faced discrimination and verbal or physical attacks. The LGBA can provide legal aid in such cases. Cruikshank believes lesbians and gays are hated for several reasons. These reasons included sexual anxiety in puritanical America, needing a scapegoat in times of rapid social change, fear of the unknown, new visibility and perceived power of homo­ sexuals, perceived threat to the nuclear family, and AIDS. The gay liberation movement has argued for the extension of health insurance coverage to domestic partners as is presently provided for family members. LGBA is hopeful that in the near future UB’s student health insur­ ance plan will extend coverage to domestic partners. “Governor Cuomo has recently signed a bill that will extend to domestic partners, all health cov­ erage presently available to spous­ es and this should cause changes at UB as well,” said Dave Quirolo, LGBA treasurer. According to a representative of UB’s Student Health Insur­ ance Program, “The university has not looked into the excep­ tions of coverage.” “The fact that they have not yet looked into the problem for gays and lesbians reflects the heterosexual dominance and ignorance,” added Butler. LGBA members also want to see an increase visibility of gays in multiculturalism. Chris Cheung said, “Homosex­ uality crosses all races, creeds, and financial groups. At UB the only class concentration on this is ‘Women plus Women’ offered by the women studies department. “We need to see more research focused on us in both the social and health sciences.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

According to a local Navy recruiter, the difference this year and the reason for cancel ing the interviews was the mil itary “didn’t want to subject officers and students to that level of harassment.” “We have no problems with protesting,” he said. “This protest went a little too far.” In a statement made to the Opinion, the UB School of Law’s newspaper, Barry Boyer, dean of the School of Law, said that it was unfortu nate that the military canceled their interviews. Ue also said that the LGBLS protest was in compliance with all university regulations. “We’re just happy that after years of protest we’ve been victorious in keeping the mili tary off campus,” said Debo rah Gottschalk, third year law student and president of LGBLS. In a statement released Thursday, the LGBLS stated that the military should not be allowed on campus because it violates Governor Cuomo’s executive order #28, which prohibits state agencies from discrimination based on sexual orientation, the SUNY Board of Trustees resolution 83-216 and the policies of the Ameri can Association of Law see INTERVIEWS on page 6 Sar a Kelly /Th e Spectrum LGBLS: Law students erect closet in protest. �Interviews: from front page Schools. Students lose out 24 students were affected by the can­ cellations. Off-cam­ pus sites and limes have been made available for those who wish to resched­ ule their interview. Omar Dennis, one of the law students whose interview was canceled, said there are plenty of better places and ways the LGBLS could have protested and this way was just harming students. They are forcing people to join their protest and they are not seeking to inform the general public, Dennis said. “You can call that a protest if you want.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Lesbian Gay Bisexual Alliance (LGBA) has experi enced many kinds of prejudice, both in their office and around campus. There was spray-paint ing in Baldy Walkway, with one message stating, “Die Fags.” LGBA has also received many obscene phone calls, including numerous threatening calls. Many acts of intolerance According to the log books that LGBA keeps, there have been many acts of intolerance commit ted against the lesbian, gay and bisexual community on campus. The old office in Talbert has been defaced, and there is also an anti gay message in the walkway to Bell Hall. Last year, there was an incident where someone walked by, picked up a garbage can and threw the garbage in the office. It hit one person in the leg, but no one was hurt. At the old office in Talbert Hall, someone attempted to take the nameplate off of the door, and the damage is still there. Two years ago, people made up anti-gay flyers and hung them up on the Spine. They depicted a stick man and woman, and the message read “God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.” Flyers were also hung, saying that AIDS is a gay disease and that gays are the only ones that spread it. Last year, LGBA was mistak enly blamed for a large hole in the bathroom near their old office. There was also some graf fiti sprayed in the bathroom, but the matter was later cleared up by Public Safety. LGBA ‘more visible’ According to Liz Brooks, presi dent of LGBA, one reason people may take part in gay-bashing is because “they could have prob lems with their [own] sexual ori entation or their [own] homosex uality.” Another reason why peo ple might do this is because they receive peer pressure from their friends, Brooks suggested. “Since LGBA has been more visible this semester, people try to threaten us with backlash because we’ve become more visible, but it won’t keep us back,” Brooks said. “It makes us work harder to organize collectively on campus.” LGBA has been working on many projects this semester. On Friday, November 20, the organi zation had an AIDS fundraiser called “Red, Hot and Live” in Talbert Bullpen, which featured seven bands. “We are currently working on a fundraiser for Christmas called Act-Up,” Brooks said. “It’s a party to help the homeless and poor children.” There was also a Drag Show on November 15 at the Katharine Cornell Theatre, which also fea tured seven bands. Promoting gay activism LGBA also holds many coffee houses during the semester, which are social functions with different themes. “It’s a chance for people to come together out side of the official meeting set ting,” Brooks explained. Recently, LGBA did a demon stration with the Freedom School, called a “Kiss-In.” It is a kind of GREEKS & SNEAKS formalized activism, in which people kiss someone of the same sex to promote gay activism. Another important activity LGBA has been doing is going around to area high schools and speaking. They have also spoken in some UB classes, including the University Experience and Human Sexuality classes. LGBA also dressed up as clowns for the Camp Good Days and Special Times Carnival. Ways in Being Gay is a film festival run at Hallwalls which features different performers cel ebrating gay rights. Recently, University Union Activities Board (UUAB) and LGBA joint ly conducted such a film festival in Woldman Theatre. “In the spring, we plan to get a bus to go down to Washington to march there,” Brooks said. “We are involved in many different things, not just gay events,” she said. Coming out at UB Within LGBA, there is also a women’s discussion group, which focuses on different women’s issues. It is a chance for women to feel more comfortable expressing themselves. There is also a group for people in the process of “com ing out,” or for people coming to terms with their homosexuality. Through the above efforts by the organization and increased education, LGBA is working toward establishing an atmos phere on campus in which people will feel more comfortable with their own homosexuality and that of others. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Sometime between last Mon day at 5 p.m. and 10 a.m. Tues day, some unknown person(s) spraypainted the word “DIE” on the door of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Alliance (LGBA), according to Inspector Daniel Jay of Public Safety. In addition, there was a line painted through the nameplate on the door, located at 362 Student Union. According to Jay, “it’s under investigation, however, we have no suspects.” “This is an example of the type of hatred that eventually leads to violence similar to that experi enced by the Lisbon Avenue vic tim,” Chris Kelly, LGBA treasur er, said. “It’s not a comforting feeling when you walk into the only office in the Student Union that one can feel comfortable in and the word ‘die’ is written on the door.” “If I become informed of who did it, I will personally bring up charges against them in the Stu­ dent Court,” Student Associa­ tion Vice President Eddie Mark said. Administrative response According to Dennis Black, dean of students, the Administra tion’s response to the vandalism is threefold. “First, we want to repair the damage as quickly as possible and put things back the way they were,” Black explained. “Second, we want to send the message that we are very intoler ant of intolerance and we hate acts of hate,” Black said. “The acts of the vandals are not accept able to our community or any others.” “Third, we want to find out what we can do to rectify the problem. We’re going to sit down with staff and students and try to find a means of prevent ing this kind of action,” Black said.

An estimated 2,700 of them are either lesbian or gay students, one student in ten. The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Alli ance is sponsored by the Under graduate Student Association to address the concerns of these stu dents. This is a heterosexual university in a heterosexual world. We are sur rounded by heterosexual couples and social events designed only for heterosexuals. Homosexual con cerns are almost never addressed. The LGBA offers bi-weekly coffee houses where lesbian, gay, and bi sexual students can meet and so cialize. We address the issues of homophobia and anti-gay activities on campus, plus offer an office and lounge with resources that gay students can take advantage of. The LGBA’s purpose is to equalize the situation for homosexual stu dents on campus. We will do what ever we can to help students deal with problems related to their ho mosexuality and adjustment to being gay in a straight world. Our office is in 207 Talbert, an office we share with the Gay Grads . . . we are open to all students. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Activists banned together during the ’89 spring semester to fight many forms of discrimina tion. These activists formed the Anti-Discrimination Coalition which consists of students from the undergraduate and graduate levels and law students. The Law School issue was the first barrier for the coalition to tackle. The Law School decided to have a policy which followed Executive Order 28. This policy would ban employers from using the Law School’s facilities to re cruit if the employer discriminat ed on the basis sex, race, national origin, handicap, age, or sexual preference. President Sample did not like the idea of the Law School taking jurisdiction over this matter. He decided that the Law School’s policy was null and void. The coalition has been fe verishly working on this issue for some time. LGBA, Lesbian Gay and Bisexu al alliance) held an annual “Coming Out” Day on the elev enth of October, the second anniversary of “The Gays March on Washington”. One of the signs read, “Closets are for clothes, not for people”. This rally was one that tried to bring a sense of pride, and solidarity to gay, les bian, and bisexual students. During this day many students did show their support but a few outsiders did not. Reverend Daren Dryzmala came with a group of men to disperse a news paper called The Lamp Post Ga zette. This paper blatantly ha rassed gays and lesbians with its anti-homosexual propaganda. Lori Hartman, a member of LGBA, said, “It promotes ha tred and violence just by its very existence.” Students called Public Safety and asked if they would remove Dryzmala from the campus. Public Safety refused to do so. Students then chased him off campus because his presence was offensive to the people involved in the rally. The fall of ’89 the Coalition held a “Stop and Hate” rally which was originally intended to be a solidarity rally for the eight black men from Suny New Paltz who were harassed by Public Safety to turn down their music. Reports say that these students were not being louder than anyone else and they received the harassment because of the color of their skin. The rally turned into an all encompassing one. Students from many different ethnic backgrounds came together at founders plaza to discuss the violence, hatred and discrimination that goes on at UB. People from NAPA, Womyn’s center, BSU, JSU, and many others participated in the rally. SASU provided materials, food, pop, and music. This organization has always been an instrumen tal force in organizing such motivating and edu cational rallies; thanks to Todd Hobler, the re gional coordinator from SASU central. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The LGBA’s main goal is to provide acomfortable environment for lesbians and gays to come out and find each other, according to Lori Hartmann, an active member for the past two years. “We provide a safe place to study or just hang out, “ she said. “Gay liberation will only come from a lot of people 'coming out,'" she continued. “However, it is a personal decision that people have to make and I would never make someone feel badly for not ‘coming out’” The organization also holds a coffee house during the weeks be tween meetings. These take place in Harriman Hall at 7 p.m. on Fri days. The coffee house is a social gathering in a relaxed atmosphere where lesbians and gays can go to meet other people. “Since the meetings conduct most Last season, Randy scored 6 goals.

Speaking out for rights Recent events the LGBA has co sponsored include National Com ing Out Day, Gay Rights Anti-Dis crimination Day and Queers on Film, a lesbian/gay film festival. Some events coming up (with tentative dates) are Gay Cultural Awareness Week and another Stop the Hate Rally. A speaker from the Graduate Group of Feminist Stud ies is expected to speak about lesbi ans and Acquired Immune Defi ciency Syndrome. Thom Kulsea, the treasurer of LGBA, believes these activities will help inform and educate the public at the same time. There is also a free library, lo cated in the LGBA office, which is open to the public and available for discussion groups. Although the LGBA docs not claim to be a counseling service, they do have a support group called Gay Adult Children of Alcoholics. There is also a new lesbian discus sion group meeting on Wednes days at 7 p.m. in the LGBA office. Not a discriminatory club The majority of the LGBA’s members arc white males. “One reason minorities are not involved with us in large numbers is because of institutionalized ra cism,” said Susan Huber, another active member. “Problems that lesbian and gay minorities face are harder to deal with because they are more vis ible,” Kulsea added. problems such as the Civil Rights Movement, the peace movement and the gay movement. “In the past, the LGBA has been cut off from other clubs, but this year we are more friendly with other organizations,” Hartmann said. “Since the relationships have got ten better and stronger, it will make it easier for minority gays and lesbians Th e Spectrum / Joh n Spierre Lori Hartmann to come out.” Major obstacles for members of the LGBA are people who are “homophobic.” These are people that for one reason or another have a strong prejudice against lesbians and gays. Harassment on campus The LGBA has been harassed in different ways on campus, includ ing verbal abuse, crank phone calls, graffiti, destruction of their flyers on walls and having their office egged. Many members claim to have been insulted by faculty members who have blatantly made “jokes” in class about homosexual ity. “People have to be aware of when they are being discriminatory,” Hartmann stressed. “So many people make jokes. They think that because they are jokes it won’t hurt. It does.” Hartmann doesn’t believe that all students and administration are against the LGBA. However, she said, “Students and faculty that are supportive are not as vocal as those who are against us.” Kulsea’s main objective would be to stop the violence against the LGBA. “I would like gay, lesbian and bisexual students at UB to be able to be open on campus without being threatened and harassed,” he said. He added that he would like people to find out what is going on and realize they are ignoring cer­ tain problems. “People don’t want to think about discrimination that others face,” he said. “People don’t want to deal with things that don’t hurt them.” Meetings for the club are held every other Friday at 5 p.m. in the LGBA office in Talbert. Although approximately 50 to 60 people arc currently involved with the club, members expressed a need formore support. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Students, faculty rally to fight sexual discrimination ANDREW J CAMPANELLI Spestrum Steff Reporter A march to support gay rights and anti-discrimination passed through the “Spine” and proceeded out onto Founder’s Plaza Wednes day morning. There, marchers gathered to hear speakers, includ ing Isabelle Marcus, assistant dean the of UB Law School. Following the speakers, gay musicians performed for the crowd. About 150 individuals participated in the march, according to Amy Belscher, a spokesperson for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Alli ance, the organization that organ ized the event. Many of the march ers bore signs in support of gay rights. “It was a chance to confront all of those nameless, faceless persons who spread anti-gay propaganda,” Belscher said. “Nobody opposed us.” Thom Kulesa, a member of the LGBA, said, “One of the purposes of the rally was to show the amount of support we have at UB for end ing discrimination and prejudice.” The LGBA, which consists of about 60 members, arranged the march as part of “Gay Rights, Anti discrimination Day.” Additional sponsors included: the Student Association of the State Univer sity, the Graduate Student Associa tion and the Independents. “The march made a good state ment — that we won’t tolerate dis crimination,” Belscher said. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance at UB is a student run organization serving the needs of the university community (that's you). Our office/ resource center in 207 Talbert Hall is open Mon. - Fri. 12-5. All are welcome to stop by, chat, meet new people, browse through our reading material, or maybe just relax. Meetings are held each Friday at 5 PM in 207 Talbert. Almost anything can be and usually is discussed, but occasionally business is mentioned. All are welcome. Coffeehouses are held each Friday night at 9 PM on the Main St. Campus. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed. Wine, munchies -- and of course, coffee -- are served. Coffeehouse is a unique social event at UB which has become something of a tradition. Show up once and you'll see what we mean — but be warned. CH can be habit-forming. Each semester we run an event series, usually biweekly. Typical events range from panel discussions or guest speakers to movies, games nights or parties. Consult the schedule of events for this semester for more details. Other services we offer include a library (small but growing steadily), a housing bulletin board, and referrals to other gay/lesbian organizations in the Buffalo area. Projects in the works include peer counseling, gay men's and lesbians' rap groups, and a political coalition of several local organizations. We are always happy to see new faces at GALA, either as active members or just occasional visitors. Above all, if you ever need anyone to talk to, chances are we're just a phone call (or campus bus ride) away. HAVE A GAY YEAR AT UB!! �A Short History Of GALA The roots of what is now the Gay and Lesbian Alliance at the University at Buffalo date back to when the first constitution was drawn up under the name of the Gay Liberation Front. At that time the group existed primarily as a support group for its members and as a core group determined to make the gay/lesbian presence known at U.B. Meetings were relatively unstructured and set up to provide a freeflowing transaction of ideas. Out of this early group came our most beloved tradition --- our weekly coffeehouses in Townsend Hall, which are now held in Allen Hall. Through the years, the GLF slowly changed. Members came and went, but the organization grew steadily. In the late 70’s the GLF acquired an office in Squire Hall on the Main Street campus as a recognized Student Association organization. At this time the GLF was also successful in puching through a University-wide anti discrimination clause in U.S.'s constitution which covered sexual orientation. The name of the organization was later changed to the Gay Peoples Alliance, just prior to the closing of Squire Union. With the closing of Squire, the GPA moved to its present home in 207 Talbert Hall. The organization began to ezpand and really take off, catering to the entire University community with a weekly event series, co-sponsorship of events with other organizations, and of course, the Coffehouse tradition!! In 1982 our name was changed again to its present name. Gay And Lesbian Alliance. The organization is now in a period of steady growth and diversification. GALA is becoming increasingly political while at the same time continuing our committment to both social and support functions. In the past we've sponsored speakers, games nights movies, dances, parties, forums, seminars, a state wide-conference and the list goes on.... This year promises to be just as exciting with many projects and activities being planned right now!! just to chat! ! ! !) stop by for the fun (or even � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Swan THEY'RE HERE: The UB: Gay Liberation Front, formerty known as a “special interest group,” has now been granted minority status by the Student Association. The front now has a new headquarters in Squire Hall as well. Above, Front president Quenton Robinson and Front Treasurer and SA Senator Mark Foxenburg plan ways to better the position of gays in society. by Michael DeGraw Spectrum Staff Writer Sporting the long-desired minority status by the Student Association (SA), UB’s Gay Liberation Front is working this year with an increased budget, and recently acquired office space in Squire Hall. Deemed a “special interest group,” the Front fought last year to attain minority classification by SA. At first rejected, partly due to objections by some members of the Black Student Union (BSU), the proposal was passed last February. The reason for the change, according to Front President Quenton Robinson, stems from the negative connotation of “special interest group.” He maintained the term “special” implied something not normal. So to change its public image, the GLF applied for minority status. SA President Joel Mayersohn explained that in order for an organization to be awarded that classification, SA must consider the group to be “oppressed,” and devoted to changing the "unjust” labels society may have placed on it. As hard as it was for the Front to be recognized under the minority status, Robinson said his group is finding it equally difficult to retain it. Members from BSU have often voiced their opposition against gays having minority status, he said. The BSU refused comment on the matter. The Front—formerly headquarted in Townsend Hall—requested office space in Squire Hall to increase its accessibility to members. Squire House Council, responsible for allocating space in the building, had no quorum at its Oct. 10 meeting and could not vote on the proposal. Last week, Council members unanimously voted to grant the space. This year, the Front’s budget was increased from $300 to $850. The money, Robinson noted, is used to run a coffee house every Friday night at 107 Townsend Hall and to fund a publication entitled, Gay Images, containing articles written by members of the Front, the National Gay Task Force, and the Gay Active Alliance. Gay Images is put out twice a year. Robinson noted that the Front constantly finds it necessary to battle against gay discrimination. Most recent areas of discrimination they pointed to are an area restaurant and the Buffalo Evening News. The restaurant, Towne Hots, located at Allen and Elmwood, has allegedly been censoring its public bulletin board by removing gay-related materials, according to the Buffalo Area Lesbian/Gay Rights March Coalition. Signs pertaining to the October 14 National Gay March on Washington were removed, the group claimed, while non-gay leaflets and announcements have been allowed to remain. The Buffalo Evening News, Robinson complained, also censored Gay Liberation Front material. An advertisement originally read: “Gay youth meeting,” but the words “gay youth” were deemed improper. Instead, the advertisement read: “Mattachine peer group meeting,” a term referring to gay youths which Robinson claimed only a few people understood. Robinson, along with 50,000 gays, attended the Gay Rights March in Washington on October 14. The UB branch of the Gay Liberation Front (GLF) is actively trying to overcome many of the problems confronting gays across the country. “The greatest problem adjusting to a homosexual lifestyle is negative heterosexual attitudes”, said GLF treasurer and SA Senator Mark Foxenburg. “These attitudes,outwardly expressed, cause hassles never imagined by the ‘straight’ population. GLF President Quenton Robinson recounted his days in the Air Force, where he said word of his sexual preference spread within a year. “I was intimidated by the. commanding officer, who constantly referred to me as ‘sweety’,” he said. “After that I was given the ‘pit job’ of recruiter.” Robinson said that taking a dishonorable discharge, as a method of avoiding the antagonism, would have cut veteran benefits and provided future employment difficulties. “I made the only possible move; I took their prejudice and used it against them.” He said his only defense was to threaten to tell higher authorities that the officers had put him — a homosexual—in recruitment. As a result, Robinson said he was immediately transferred to another outfit. Robinson recalled his high school days when his peers were engaged in dating and discovering their sexual identities. “Being gay in high school is not an easy thing. Everybody is into becoming the perfect model of society. To come out of the closet in these times would have been unspeakably painstaking,” he said. Many gays maintain that they are inclined to seclude themselves from social events and many times forced to act out a double role so as not to be “discovered.” One woman who did not wish to be identified, said,“It is rough enough finding oneself, but when there are two personalties involved, things get all the more complicated. Terrifying terms “Remember when all your girlfriends were talking about the problems they were having with their boyfriends? It is kind of awkward to ask what one should about a difficult situation with a lover.” She added, “When I was with my lover in public, so many times I would want to give her a hug or kiss on the cheek but felt socially stifled, so I forced myself to hold my affections in.” One of the biggest fears gays face relates to the negative image society tacks onto the term “homosexual.” “I was so afraid of being a flasher, a child molester or a man with a lispy voice,” recalled Foxenburg. He said his own admittance of his sexual attitudes—cognizant of the stereotypes—was delayed. The adjectives attached to “gay” he called “terrifying,” explaining that the picture built up in his mind only added fear to frustration. “After my first homosexual experience I never became that which I had feared and realized all the more, how powerfully manipulating society’s pressures can be,” he said. Another difficult social pressure cited by many gays is looking for a place to live—comfortably. It is important to live in an atmosphere where housemates or roommates feel at ease with each other’s way of life. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Anita Bryant, recently succeeding in reversing legislation in Dade County, Florida, prohibiting discrimination against anyone because of sexual preference, seems to have added to the already overwhelming oppression of homosexuals. “She is a real fanatic; the epitomy of a homophobic (frightened of gays),” said Mallinson. “The banished law leaves gays unprotected from discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations. Two men cannot live together in Federal Housing, whether gay or not. Legally, I cannot practice homosexuality in most of the United States, specifically New York State,” Mallinson stated. “Gay Literature,” “Creating A Gay Perspective,” “How to be a Political Gay,” and “Coming Out Workshops,” (coming out is a term used by homosexuals referring to their outright admittance of their sexual preference) are among some of the courses that have been offered at Tolstoy (College F). They are designed to help the gay person feel more at ease and to inform them about issues relevant to their culture. The vast majority of Tolstoy’s courses are oriented toward non-gay issues. Some of these include “Desegregation,” “American Jewish Experience,” and “Mens’ Studies” (a series of courses studying the historical role of men in our society. “College F’s classes are very informal; based on anti-authoritarianism and collectivity,” explained Mallinson. “Some people think the “F” stands for faggot,” he added jokingly, “but they don’t realize it’s not specifically a college of gay men.” Informal coffeehouses “The word faggot came from the English school. Freshmen were called this because they would obey seniors’ demands, and were subsequently considered very menial,” noted Mallinson. The Gay Liberation Front (GLF) was once a very political organization at this University, staging demonstrations and lobbying senators for improved gay rights laws. Presently, it is more of a social organization. Mallinson said he is the only political activist in the group at this time. Up to five faculty —Jenson Kevin Mallinson members and twenty to twenty-five students attend GLF been many court cases where a coffee houses Friday nights at child becomes a ward of the Tolstoy College. “These coffee court, because of a divorce houses are informal gatherings of between the parents caused by the gay students, designed to promote homosexuality of one of the friendship and support among “spouses.” homosexuals,” said Mallinson. “There is only one legal Based on the Kinsey report homosexual marriage in the average of 15-18 percent gay United States,” says Mallinson.

The patients would Force’s main goals is to reverse repeatedly get shocked if they the law which prohibits gays from enjoyed viewing nudes of the adopting children. There have also same sex on film. If they pressed a button to reveal pictures of opposite sex nudes, there was no shock. Patients were then strapped to a chair and made to watch the latter films. “There were no cures from this experiment,” stated Mallinson. ‘Not to be ashamed of “Presently, psychiatrists proclaim that homosexuality is in no way an illness. Their basic opinion is that a homosexual can be a very stable member of this society,” claimed deTan. Freud said in his famous “Letter to an American Mother,” in consolation of the distraught mother of a gay, “Homosexuality is assuredly no advantage, but it is nothing to be ashamed of, no vice, no degradation, it cannot be classified as an illness; we consider it to be a variation of the sexual function produced by a certain arrest of sexual development.” Out of hatred for homosexuals, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) have implanted a recording in many bookstore telephones, calling for the execution of all gay people. “They rationalize this edict, by claiming the Bible states that homosexuals are degrading,” said deTarr. “The National Gay Task Force (NGTF), an organization which attempts to protect gay people, and coordinates calls to the President of the U.S. and senators, has discovered that this type of “murder” is illegal,” MaUinson added. “They are taking immediate action to ban this action, besides publicizing the fact widely.” “California senator John Briggs is struggling to get 312,000 signatures by November 15 to repeal a law which protects sexual activities between two consenting adults in private. Senator Jerry Brown, also of California, originally passed this legislation,” reported Alex Van Oss, faculty member at Tolstoy College and member of GLF. ‘You homo’ If Briggs passes his legislation, it would require dismissal from work of any person “advocating, soliciting, promoting, imposing, or encouraging gay activities.” In the State of Washington, a homosexual ironically named Gaylord, got fired for his sexual preference. He fought it until the case reached the Supreme Court, and they refused to hear it. There is no clause protecting gays at this University. The New York State Coalition of Gay Organizations (NYSCGO) recently held a conference in Albany at which deTarr represented GLF. NYSCGO is planning to hire a full-time lobbyist for gay rights. They want to repeal sodomy laws, get gay rights legislation and an anti-discrimination clause written in New York State law. Besides collective persecution of homosexuals, there is much individual oppression. “A man once yelled across the cafeteria, ‘You homo,’ so I yelled back, 'The word is homosexual’,” quipped Mallinson. “I have no idea why I’m gay. I don’t think you can find any gay who knows,” imparted Mallinson. —continued on page 12— Latin dance PODER is holding its annual Latin Dance this Saturday, October 29, at 8 p.m. in Goodyear Cafeteria.

I never felt comfortable playing a heterosexual role.” “I don’t know if I was born this way, if it’s God’s will or what,” said Rosenberg. DeTarr stated, “I was living with a girl for five years when I went gay. I talked to my sister about it and found out she was officially bisexual which is rare in the same family.” Even a painter? There are definitely occupational disadvantages in being a confirmed homosexual. Nearly 70 professions are closed to gays because of no anti-discrimination clause, including those of policeman, fireman, nurse, doctor, truck driver and even sign painter.

Government and civil service jobs are also closed to gays because they cannot get a security clearance. “Gay Churches” have formed primarily because homosexual persons have felt rejected by established churches. These churches are usually run by gay clergy. Proponents feel the “Gay Church” must exist until the homosexual feels comfortable in the midst of established churches. The Metropolitan Community Church in Los Angeles; Integrity, an Episcopalian church in Niagara Falls; Dignity, a Catholic church in Niagara Falls; and the Gay Community Synagogue are among the many gay churches.

Gay law students have difficulty getting accepted into the Bar Association, she added. Five areas The conference, which will cover five areas in law of particular relevance to the gay community, will include law school professors, local attorneys, judges, and nationally-known experts in the field. Panel discussions will include: Legislation and Litigation Potential (10 a.m.); Employment Discrimination (11 a.m.); Student-Civil Rights (12 noon); Family Property Law (2 p.m.); and Criminal Law (3 p.m.). A Buffalo Police Department Captain will discuss the constitutionality of the concensual sodomy laws in New York State. The conference will also feature nationally-known experts in the field of gay rights, including E. Carrington Boggan, director of the Lambda Defense Fund; Franklin Kameny, well-known lobbyist and President of the Washington, D.C. chapter of the Mattachine Society; Bruce Voeller, executive director of the National Gay Task Force; and local gay activists. Liberating force “We hope this conference will be a liberating force for the Gay Movement and will erase many of the stereotypes many people hold. The American Psychological Association has stated that they feel homosexuality is not a mental illness,” Ms. Convissar explained. A film has been ordered which portrays a lesbian family and the children raised in it. The children are all heterosexual and did not display any damaging effects from being raised in this environment. The film will be shown directly after the panel discussion on Family Property Law at 2 p.m. The conference is being funded by three groups: The Student Bar Association, the Law School Division of the American Bar Association, and the Mitchell Lecture Series, a State University at Buffalo Law School fund. It will be held in John Lord O’Brian Hall from 10 a.m.—5 p.m. All discussions before 1 p.m. will be in the Moot Court Room. The remaining events and the film will be in Room 106. The event is free and open to the public. Participants are also invited to attend an informal reception immediately following the conference. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

To fulfill this need, Gay Lib is presently seeking to establish an off-campus Gay Community Center. A spokesman for Gay Liberation explained that the need for such a center should be evident to anyone familiar with places available to gays now: “The gay bars and cruising streets where gay people are presently forced to gather if they want to meet other gays are exploitative, expensive and always oppressive.” He continued that these places are demeaning and create hostility and hate. According to Gay Liberation, the enormous profits the owners of such places reap are never used even in small part for the welfare or interests of gay people. Paranoia Gay Liberation mandates the center be off-campus, viewing its location as essential to its success. Explaining that the social and work activities of the Buffalo Gay community are geographically centered in the Allentown-Richmond area, a gay lib member said that “we want to make it possible for people to have easy, unhampered and, most importantly, trauma-free access to any meeting place.” Gay Liberation feels that Norton Hall and the campus area, in general, do not constitute such a place: “They foster feelings of paranoia in UB gays sometimes, and very often in people who have no real reason to identify with this University at all.” More importantly, according to Gay Lib, many of the gay people in Buffalo have professional associations with the State University of Buffalo which would be endangered by their active or open participation in anything even remotely related to gay: “Their relationships and ability to work with their colleagues and students would undergo a radical, negative change. This is not to mention the fact that there is no legal proection in employment or housing for homosexuals.” Valid fears This means that some gay people feel that they are endangering their entire way of life and in some cases that of their family by participating in any of Gay Lib’s activities in a place as public as Norton. “Given the current attitude of this society towards homosexuality, and the questionable willingness of this University to protect the rights of individuals you cannot really question the validity of people’s fears: the fear that they will be branded and branded in the most literal sense,” a gay lib member explained. Gay Lib is, at this time, investigating the feasibility of several sites from store fronts to basements and churches. Under study are questions of hours and days of operation, and legal complications that may arise and how to deal with them. A possible sub-let arrangement is being worked out with the Linwood A.ve. Buffalo Free School. They are also appealing to Student Association for funding and support. A Gay Lib spokesman stated that “Gay Lib cannot hope to continue to be effective or expand its activities in any meaningful way without a ‘safe’ base of operations for its work . . .” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Mail Art Description An account of the resource Participatory, democratic, personal and expressive, as a form of artwork, Mail Art is sent, given or exchanged via the postal service. A work of artwork becomes Mail Art once it is dispatched, disappearing forever from the artist's hands. Mail Artists form networks and faithfully participate in them by pouring a steady stream of unique art objects into the quotidian postal system. Mail Artists also regularly call for topical or thematic Mail Art for exhibition. Mail Art forms a community of like minded artists. Each piece of Mail Art is unique and often a collage that might aggressively engage social, artistic, and hot topic political issues or might harvest images from pop culture. All forms of material and artistic techniques come into play. Mail Art explores the material nature of language. Rubber stamps, stickers, paint and other material are frequently combined in Mail Art collage. After artistic treatment, items such as common post cards to plastic bottles enter into the Mail Art network. Ray Johnson is credited as the founder of contemporary Mail Art. In the late 1950s, he founded the New York Correspondence School, and the New York Correspondence School bunny is an image frequently collaged into works of Mail Art.

Description An account of the resource Mail art piece, designed by Anna Boschi, consisting of a color photograph with black writing on the back with stickers, rubber stamp ink, and Italian postage stamps. In the first image, a large, light-colored fabric lies spread out on a floor, partially folded near the edges. Two circular stencil designs are visible on the surface, outlined in black spray paint with faint red markings extending from them. Inside the top circle, the text reads “HOPE,” and in the lower circle, “ART.” Red paint drips and streaks appear between the circles, suggesting a deliberate connection in the design. The fabric is positioned in front of a dark background with a faint light source coming from the left. The second image is a handwritten postcard addressed to John Bennet, Lunar Biscuit Prods, 437 Leland Ave., Columbus, Ohio 43214, U.S.A. It has three Italian stamps—one valued at 200 lire depicting Castello di Cerro al Volturno and two valued at 500 lire each showing Castello di Rovereto. A blue “PER VIA AEREA / PAR AVION” airmail label is affixed near the center. The sender’s information on the left reads “ANNA BOSCHI, Via Alberghini 23-25, 40138 BOLOGNA.” The message, written diagonally across the card, says in part, “Thank you very much for your fine participation to the ‘Bottle Project.’ Best wishes and good work. Friendly, Anna.” Mail art recipient: John M. Bennett. The description and alternative text may have been partially generated using an AI tool and may contain errors or omissions.

Each piece of Mail Art is unique and often a collage that might aggressively engage social, artistic, and hot topic political issues or might harvest images from pop culture. All forms of material and artistic techniques come into play. Mail Art explores the material nature of language. Rubber stamps, stickers, paint and other material are frequently combined in Mail Art collage. After artistic treatment, items such as common post cards to plastic bottles enter into the Mail Art network. Ray Johnson is credited as the founder of contemporary Mail Art. In the late 1950s, he founded the New York Correspondence School, and the New York Correspondence School bunny is an image frequently collaged into works of Mail Art.

Description An account of the resource Two-sided mail art piece composed of a timecard decorated with multi-color paint on the front. The back is decorated with paint, rubber stamp ink and affixed with U.S. postage stamps. The first two images show the front and back of a single postcard created from an IBM punch card. The front features a visually striking abstract artwork: a mix of vivid paint strokes layered across the pre-printed numbers and coding grid of the punch card. The paint’s vibrant reds, blues, and greens transform the utilitarian object into a colorful piece of mail art, typical of the experimental correspondence art movement of the late 20th century. The back reveals the postcard’s functional side, turning the painted punch card into a personal communication. It bears the sender’s stamped address from San Antonio, Texas, and a postmark from July 1982. The handwritten note from Gene Elder to Daniel Graham thanks the recipient for a letter, combining art and casual correspondence. This hybrid of technological artifact, artwork, and personal note reflects the creative reuse of computer-era materials in mail art culture. Mail art recipient: Daniel Mark Graham.

A work of artwork becomes Mail Art once it is dispatched, disappearing forever from the artist's hands. Mail Artists form networks and faithfully participate in them by pouring a steady stream of unique art objects into the quotidian postal system. Mail Artists also regularly call for topical or thematic Mail Art for exhibition. Mail Art forms a community of like minded artists. Each piece of Mail Art is unique and often a collage that might aggressively engage social, artistic, and hot topic political issues or might harvest images from pop culture.

Rubber stamps, stickers, paint and other material are frequently combined in Mail Art collage. After artistic treatment, items such as common post cards to plastic bottles enter into the Mail Art network. Ray Johnson is credited as the founder of contemporary Mail Art.

A work of artwork becomes Mail Art once it is dispatched, disappearing forever from the artist's hands. Mail Artists form networks and faithfully participate in them by pouring a steady stream of unique art objects into the quotidian postal system. Mail Artists also regularly call for topical or thematic Mail Art for exhibition. Mail Art forms a community of like minded artists. Each piece of Mail Art is unique and often a collage that might aggressively engage social, artistic, and hot topic political issues or might harvest images from pop culture.

Rubber stamps, stickers, paint and other material are frequently combined in Mail Art collage. After artistic treatment, items such as common post cards to plastic bottles enter into the Mail Art network. Ray Johnson is credited as the founder of contemporary Mail Art.

Envelopes Extent The size or duration of the resource. 10 x 23 cm. Description An account of the resource Two-sided envelope submitted as part of the Millenium Mail Art Project. Front and back decorated with cardboard, stickers, thread and found objects. U.S. postage stamps affixed. The front features layered paper fragments, typed text strips, barcodes, a small cut-out window, postal cancellations, and colorful stamps—including a Margaret Mitchell stamp and a “19th Amendment 1920” stamp—alongside a whimsical UFO sticker. The address is printed on a white label, accompanied by rubber-stamped text reading “2000 Anno Mirabilis.” The surface shows mixed textures from torn paper, tape, staples, ink smudges, and hand-stamped marks. The reverse side continues the assemblage theme with light blue paper, scattered magenta postal ink, a bold green “10” sticker, “Sealed For Your Protection” text, and additional barcodes. A small dark rectangular print appears mounted on part of the envelope, adding a mysterious, fingerprint-like element. Inside, the object contains a folded, printed sheet listing past mail art calls from the mid-1990s. The page resembles a newsletter: columns of names, project titles, and locations are arranged in monospaced type, emphasizing the archival, bureaucratic quality of mail art networks. Two additional collage panels incorporate anatomical illustrations printed in black on white paper—faces, organs, cross-sections, and labeled diagrams—paired with cardboard and mounted photographic slides. Each slide contains a dark smudged mark resembling a partial print or abstract form, adding an enigmatic, almost forensic tone. Tape and uneven paper edges give the panels a handmade, tactile quality. Mail art recipient: Sticker Dude.

Title A name given to the resource Mail Art Description An account of the resource Participatory, democratic, personal and expressive, as a form of artwork, Mail Art is sent, given or exchanged via the postal service. A work of artwork becomes Mail Art once it is dispatched, disappearing forever from the artist's hands. Mail Artists form networks and faithfully participate in them by pouring a steady stream of unique art objects into the quotidian postal system. Mail Artists also regularly call for topical or thematic Mail Art for exhibition. Mail Art forms a community of like minded artists. Each piece of Mail Art is unique and often a collage that might aggressively engage social, artistic, and hot topic political issues or might harvest images from pop culture.

After artistic treatment, items such as common post cards to plastic bottles enter into the Mail Art network. Ray Johnson is credited as the founder of contemporary Mail Art.

Description An account of the resource Piece consists of a brown printed mailing envelope decorated with rubber stamps and stickers and affixed with British postage stamps. It contains two glossy magazine pages each decorated with rubber stamps. This mail art piece unfolds as a satirical, collage-like publication that mimics instructional manuals, children’s guides, and popular magazines while steadily dissolving into absurdity. Across the four sections, Victorian-era child-rearing illustrations, faux scientific reports, hand-drawn annotations, stamps, and pseudo-advertisements are recombined with surreal humor—leeks become instruments of ancient craft, power transmission, sculpture, and communication; education slips into parody; authority is undercut by playful nonsense. The work uses the visual language of official print culture (manuals, lessons, diagrams, and advertisements) to critique systems of knowledge, progress, and seriousness, transforming the mail format into a fragmented, ironic narrative that rewards close reading and visual wandering.

Title A name given to the resource Mail Art Description An account of the resource Participatory, democratic, personal and expressive, as a form of artwork, Mail Art is sent, given or exchanged via the postal service. A work of artwork becomes Mail Art once it is dispatched, disappearing forever from the artist's hands. Mail Artists form networks and faithfully participate in them by pouring a steady stream of unique art objects into the quotidian postal system. Mail Artists also regularly call for topical or thematic Mail Art for exhibition. Mail Art forms a community of like minded artists. Each piece of Mail Art is unique and often a collage that might aggressively engage social, artistic, and hot topic political issues or might harvest images from pop culture. All forms of material and artistic techniques come into play. Mail Art explores the material nature of language. Rubber stamps, stickers, paint and other material are frequently combined in Mail Art collage. After artistic treatment, items such as common post cards to plastic bottles enter into the Mail Art network. Ray Johnson is credited as the founder of contemporary Mail Art. In the late 1950s, he founded the New York Correspondence School, and the New York Correspondence School bunny is an image frequently collaged into works of Mail Art.
