During the past few weeks, I have either witnessed or heard about a number of comments aimed at gays and gay organizations. None were positive. It seems that the impetus for this barrage of remarks was a campus-wide phone announcement regarding the first GALA meeting
of the year. Evidently, some members of the community took the phone message as a personal invitation and felt the need to express their concerns about gays on campus
and gay organizations. I am responding to those concerns and others that I have encountered over the past three years.
There is a misconception on this campus that GALA is only for gay and lesbian students and that if a person is a member of GALA then that person must be gay or lesbian.
The reality is that GALA is an organization that supports gay and lesbian concerns. Therefore, it is open to any and all supporters of gay and lesbian concerns, and in fact a number of the members are straight allies.
This leads to the question, aren't the gay members out to convert all of the straight members of GALA and of the entire campus? To most rational, open-minded members of campus, this question sounds absurd. The truth is that it is as impossible to convert a straight person as it is to convert a gay or lesbian, leading to the belief that
gays and lesbians choose to be "that way". Who in his or her right mind would choose to be part of a group of people that is constantly degraded and insulted and who, as of yet, do not have full protection under federal
law, or the right to marry, the right to decide a spouse's medical care when critically ill, or any other right that everyone else takes for granted?
Now that we have established the fact that being in GALA does not mean being gay or lesbian and that the gays and lesbians are not out to convert the world, let's turn to the
concept of homophobia. The definition of homophobia goes far beyond the literal translation of "fear
of gays". It includes hate, fear, disgust, gay-bashing, derogatory comments and any other actions that are degrading and intended to harm or intimidate gays and lesbians. While some will argue that it is their right to feel any way they want about gays, it is not their right to
discriminate or harass. I will grant that a person has a right to say he or she does not like gays. However, realize that that, too, is part of homophobia.
The problem is not that there are gay and lesbian members of the Ursinus community. Rather the problem is that people are unaware and in some cases closed-minded. And I think that it is time to remedy that.

I was deeply disturbed by something that I heard today. As a senior, I figured I knew all there was to know about the attitudes and feelings of the students on this campus. However, this is apparently not true at all. Rarely does something that one does or says make me angry. And nothing has upset me this much before, or given me the motivation to write an article.
I believe that college campuses should be the educational centers of the world, not just for academics, but for ideologies as well. Various events this week have awakened me to the fact that Ursinus is a place for academic learning alone.
Expecting harmony among assorted beliefs and practices seems to be too much to ask these days. Differing political views, religions, and lifestyles appear to be jammed into a 1,100 person school where beliefs are strong and open-mindedness is lacking. I believe in free speech. By this I mean that as long as one is not demaining another group in their written or spoken words, free speech is a blessing. However, this past week has been a nightmare for free speech and action.
WVOU has been the deliverer of homphobic and gay-bashing messages. The conversations between two show's DJs and callers are too graphic to write. How is it that one can find profanity and explicit sexual, stereotypical comments entertaining? The language used on the radio is enough to call for some new rules on the air but how about the content of these messages? Should these few people be allowed to criticize and degrade those who do not follow the "norm"? Should the other listeners who are tolerant and understanding of diversity have to listen to this garbage?
Well, not only was this issue present on the air this week but, it was also present on the wall. GALA recetly hung a poster in Wismer lobby A reading, "HOMOPHOBIA NEEDS TO BE CURED NOT HOMOSEXUALITY." To my knowledge, this statement is not offensive. It is true that some individuals who do not agree with homosexuality may be angered by this but, the statement does not criticize heterosexuals.
To my knowledge, this sign was removed from the wall by a group of students that do not agree with, or tolerate, homosexuality. And this too sickens me. It is good to have steadfast beliefs. Yet, if one has such firm beliefs, why should they feel threated by another's?
These heated issues and the emtions caused by them can be channeled toward education. From an envrironment where differing opinions are able to be epxressed and heard, diversity, respect, and ultimately unity can flourish.
GALA has made a suggestion with which I agree; if you do not agree with what someone says or does, you can voice that opinion. This campus would be a better place if it were filled with a variety of educational messages. Pleace, post a sign next to an existing one, or voice your opinion over the air. However, please do it with open-mindedness and kindness. Let's get all of the opinions out on the floor without cruelty. A rainbow is better than a solitary hue.
