"TOG .. LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY 40511 GAY 8n PROUD" ' ‘ JULY 19.3 " frgsimgnftial‘mnsage Keith Elston. President Gay Pride Month is over. It's time to take a rest and reflect on some of the ' things that happened and some hopes for the future. During June, there were Gay Pride marches in many major cities and several candlelight vigils to bring attention to the need for more funding for AIDS research. _ Billy Graham said that AIDS was God's vengeance against gays. He neglected to say why God was punishing Haitians or other high risk groups. So what else is new? Kentucky Representative William Natcher made an eloquent Speech to Congress on the need for more money to fund AIDS research and became a sponsor of several allocation bills for that purpose. Representative Larry Hopkins voted in favor for several of the bills. Many thanks for the concern. At King's Island, over #00 gay men and women stood out in the crowd as our red shirts let everyone know "We Are Everywhere”. GLUE in Louisville Sponsored an entire week of activities including an interfaith service, gay theatre, talent shows, a dinner dance at the Hyatt Regency and the annual Otter Creek Picnic. Finally, GSO showed its pride this year with a discussion and presentation of the film "Greetings" and our first annual "Pride Picnic“ at Jacobson Park. Now we turn to the future. The gay community could gain a lot of things. There could be a written directive forbidding employment or housing discrimination. Sodomy laws could be repealed or declared unconstitutional. The 1964 Civil Rights Act could be amended to include "sexual orientation". The gay rights movement COULD do all these things and much more I: we can gain each gay persons support. In David Goodstein's "Opening Space” in the Advocate, it is suggested the problem is gay leaderships "youth. poverty and fear of dealing with powerful authorities" Iplead guilty to being young and impoverished, however, I will not back away from authority figures nor anyone who wishes to suppress our rights to be what we can really be. - Lastly, everyone is encouraged to express their opinions or concerns before the Board and also participate in all GSO activities. There is and always will be a place for each of you in GSO, whether it is behind the scenes or leading the parade. We're here for you. Consider this your personal invitation.

Homosexuals should be treated with the same compassion and understanding accorded other mem— bers of the church, said the report, entitled "Ministry and Homosexuality in the Archdiocese of San Francisco." It was approved by Archbishop John Quinn and is the official policy of the archdiocese. The Rev. Miles Riley, spokesman for the archdiocese, said yesterday (6/9) that the report did not indicate a change in church policy. A spokesman for Dignity, a group of 350 gay and lesbian Catholics in San Francisco, said it was reserving comment on the report until after it has been reviewed.(Looa| creep Rasponse Mark MOM—h) Riley said the report is intended to guide the clergy in dealing with homosexuals. He said to avoid the alienation of any church members, including homosexuals, but does not minimize dif— ferences. The report's emphasis on compassion is its key element, Riley said. "We must work to ensure that all of the parishes in the archdiocese are communities of faith where homosexual men and women will feel welcome, where they will see themselves as genuinely an important part of the church," the report said. ; H9”?

WE MUST HELP OURSELVES! 1983 SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE -————-————-—————-—————-————-—' MW FOR LESBIANS AND GAY MEN “—~—-—--——————~———————————————— The 1983 Southeastern Conference for Lesbians and Gay Men was held in Atlanta, April 28 thru May 1——but not without a hitch. —————Local universities turned us away, forcing us to hold the Conference at hotel facilities. -————We achieved only one—fifth the anticipated attendance. —————Our Saturday night benefit perfromance and fundraiser was cut short due to a chlorine leak which forced us to evacuate the facilities. BUT THE SHOW WENT ON!!! Even with these and other hindrances, the eighth annual Southeastern Conference was held. And, we believe the accomplishments are noteworthy and successful. From comments received, lesbians and gay men who attended (including representatives from Lexington) returned to their homes with greater insight, broader skills, and facilitators presented us with information and affirmation to help us realize the importance of our work. Holding the Conference at a hotel increased the cost of the event tremendously. But, it was either hold the Conference at a hotel or not at all. The Steering Committee is trying to raise money to dissolve our debt of nearly $2,500. We need your support. All funds donated to the Southeastern Conference will be used toward our debts. Any remaining funds will be turned over to the 1984 Southeastern Conference to be held in Birmingham, Alabama. We also have many SEC t—shirts (red) remaining that will sell for $3.00 each, also if you can help us with a contribution, that would be greatly appreciated. Please send donations and/or t—shirt orders to: SEC, P.O. Box 7151, Atlanta, GA 30357. I would like to assist the 1983 Southeastern Conference. Enclosed is $ .

As time passed, the lambda began to take on abstract meanings and its visual resemblance to the scales dimin- 103 W Maxwell ished. During this period. it began to represent the concept of balance. Creeks be» 252'4933 lieved that balance was a coming together of two opposites and therefore could not be a stable state. but one which required constant adjustment. . . Creek philosophy and its influence was the major force behind the emergence of the Famous Garhc SthkS modern day form of the Lambda. A small hook was added to the base of the letter indicating that equilibrium can only be achieved through some form of action. and that once equilibrium has been reached constant action is necessary. Orlgmal SlClllan Ancient Spartans showed their unity by using the Lambda symbol. The balance they Pan Plzza believed must exist between an individual and the state was exhibited by the Lambda . painted on their shields. Spartica, as a state. was based on the belief that the do Homemade Itahan mands of the state and society should never interfere with each citizen's right to be S h . L totally free and independent. Spartans realized that a common bond was necessary pag 9th & asagna to protect their existence as free and equal people. but also believed that any indi- vidual must be bound to society only by his choice and desire. Open daily for lunch, dinner, AS Roma developed and rose to power, they conquered the world as it existed and l< ' took many things of value from the cultures they conquered. One of the things taken snac OI‘ carry—01'1t from the Greek culture was the lambda. The Romans viewed the shape of the lamlxla as a flame and used it for a symbol for ”lampas". their word for torch. _ .1 Modern scientists looking for a symbol for ”wave length" of light searched the his- torical past and chose the Lambda. because of its connection with the word torch. _,:;o;’r,;3‘{5(y’1{~;<\ \_ As the gay movement began to gain momentum and organize in the 19605. the Lam- , ;~ X fifflfiggiflvfr‘ {317$}? bda was selected as the international symbol.
