              <text>It’s prom time all across America.&#13;
&#13;
All over the country, high school seniors are preparing to go out for one last dance before packing up and heading to college.&#13;
&#13;
For many, prom is something that has been looked forward to all year.&#13;
&#13;
But there are some who have shied away from conventional proms and have blazed their own trails.&#13;
Last spring, the Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays helped sponsor the first gay prom in St. Petersburg.&#13;
&#13;
The prom was not the first of its kind in our country and will not be the last.&#13;
&#13;
There are two gay proms scheduled in Long Island, N.Y., this year. Both of them will be the first of such events held there.&#13;
&#13;
Of course, the event is being held independent of any schools in the area.&#13;
&#13;
But those who feel going to a conventional prom does not conform to their specific needs will still have a place where they can dance with whomever they wish without coming under the scrutiny of those around them.&#13;
&#13;
Florida and Long Island are not the only places where such events are being held.&#13;
&#13;
Having gay proms is not a revolutionary idea in some parts of the country.&#13;
&#13;
Boston has had a gay prom for 20 years and New York’s Harvey Milk School, an alternative school, has been holding a gay prom since the 1980’s.&#13;
&#13;
But the idea of having smaller proms held for gay students in other parts of the country like Georgia, South Carolina and yes, Florida, has not exactly caught on fire.&#13;
Many people find the idea of homosexuality abhorrent and the idea of a gay prom even worse.&#13;
&#13;
Some people feel there is not a need for gay proms.&#13;
They say the very idea of specializing for people who have different sexual orientations is ridiculous and should not be done.&#13;
&#13;
We agree— just for different reasons.&#13;
&#13;
For all the talk of tolerance in this country, we are still very backward when it comes to accepting the lives and life-styles of people who are different than us. Wrapping around the idea of same-sex relationships is exceedingly difficult for some. Because of that, homosexuality has become a dirty little secret for many people.&#13;
&#13;
In the past, those who had different sexual orientations had to lie about who they really were. The same is true for many people who are gay now. They are ostracized simply for whom they chose to be with.&#13;
&#13;
So much so that they feel they must organize their own proms in order to feel safe being with each other in a formal setting at the end of their high school careers.&#13;
Gay high school students are being made to segregate themselves from the rest of their peers.&#13;
&#13;
That is not fair.&#13;
&#13;
We disagree with the idea of having students all over the country have to organize gay proms because we disagree with the idea that homosexuals should have to feel like they must take themselves away from the rest of society in order to be accepted.&#13;
&#13;
Our problem is not with the gay proms, but with the society that made them necessary.&#13;
&#13;
People’s opinions on homosexuality must change if our society ever hopes to continue to advance.&#13;
&#13;
There are a lot more reasons to not like a person than their sexual orientation, or race, or religion or any other capricious reasoning used to hate an individual based on their intrinsic beliefs and behaviors.&#13;
&#13;
Hopefully, we will get to the point where homosexuals will feel welcome enough where they will not have to pull away from everyone else for fear of being renounced by everyone else. &#13;

              <text>Homosexuality is a subject that sparks deep emotion and can bring out strong feelings either good or bad in both the students and faculty of the Ursinus campus. Is there a need for the Gay and Lesbian Alliance on this campus? That seems to be the question that has come about as a result of all the posters that the campus was bombarded with on October 11th. The letter that was sent to the student body also raised some questions. As junior Ralph Handy said, "I was astonished by the letter, I feel they contradicted themselves by not signing the letter, and then saying that they were coming out of the closet. They also said to contact a faculty member, but they did not say who."&#13;
&#13;
The GALA constitution went before SAC to be passed on Wednesday October 16th and a decision is still pending. Some problems that were addressed at this meeting were how the club was going to be an active part of the Ursinus community, but remain anonymous. As a clause in the constitution, GALA members want to be anonymous and students that are interested would  have to be channeled through a faculty advisor, Dr. Oboler. The committee was trying to determine how they were going to plan events that would involve the whole campus if the members were to be anonymous. One GALA did not want the officers of the club to be listed in the student directory because they were worried about being harassed by other students and the surrounding community. One of the members of the committee asked them if they realized the low opinion of their student peers that they held. This GALA member felt that there is widespread homophobia on this campus and that this campus is just not ready for GALA. Another problem that was addressed was that the GALA constitution stated that alumni could also be eligible to join, but both the committee and GALA seemed to agree to drop this clause. &#13;
&#13;
The members of the GALA that were present at the SAC meeting have done their research and have talked with other groups on campuses in this area. They have attended conferences and have worked with PRISMA on how to go about starting a club. The objectives of the club outlined in the constitution include having a social outlet for the homosexual population on campus, give emotional support and counseling within the group about the personal issues of being a homosexual, sponser activities to promote greater self-awareness, and to heighten awarenss and combat homophobia within the Ursinus community. &#13;
&#13;
Student reaciton across the campus has been diverse, from "I am against homosexuality" to "I am confused and do not know what to think." One sophomore who wished to remain anonymous commented, "It offends me, gay and lesbian acts are private, and I do not approve of the public organization such as GALA that Ursinus would support."&#13;
&#13;
Now it is up to SAC to decide if there is a need for a GALA and if the constitution should be passed. They are debating as to whether the campus will benefit form [sic] the organization or if its confidentiality clause will cause to many problems with student membership. As one sorority pledge said, "I think it is a good idea if they realize the pressure they will be receiving from the Ursinus student body. But they do need a support network just like anybody other club on campus."</text>

              <text>(U-WIRE) NEW YORK--- Showtime’s new series Queer as Folk will be the first on television to explore the lives of an all-gay cast of characters, complete with frank depictions of their sexuality.&#13;
&#13;
The show, which begins airing on Sunday, December 3, received the red carpet treatment at a recent world premiere in Manhattan that was attended by the series’ cast and crew— along with a crowd of celebrities and invited guests.&#13;
&#13;
“It was spectacular,” says Tony Jonas, one of the show’s executive producers.&#13;
&#13;
“For we folk in television, when we make a new show, it goes without fanfare. We were treated like feature film people,” he says of the premiere, which benefited the Gay Men’s Health Crisis.&#13;
&#13;
“It was a delight to see the young case suddenly on the runway.”&#13;
&#13;
Queer as Folk is already generating attention for its controversial subject matter. Showtime will present the show as a season of 22 episodes that have been adapted from the original Bristish Queer as Folk. In the UK, Queer as Folk was broadcast as a limited series on Channel 4, where it stunned audiences with its graphic sex scenes and unflinchingly honest portrayal of gay culture, quickly becoming a critical success.&#13;
&#13;
The US version is set in Pittsburgh and is, like its predecessor, centered on the lives of five gay men and one lesbian couple.&#13;
&#13;
The structure is similar to HBO’s Sex and the City, with a central character— Michael Novotny (Hal Sparks)— who narrates each episode. Showtime is in the midst of a major promotional push for a show that will elicit any number of reactions from different audiences, few of them likely to be mild.&#13;
&#13;
“The most dangerous thing that can happen is that it will make people think,” Jonas said. “No one has ever seen a show like this before. This is a show that will stimulate on all levels.” With more than 20 years of industry experience behind him, Jonas anticipate that Queer as Folk will redefine the standards of television sexuality for the near future, eventually paving the way for other shows to follow.&#13;
&#13;
“We’ve pushed the envelope. Each one of these shows does heighten the bar a little bit. I hope in 10 years from now there will be a show that makes us look tame,” he says. “It’s a show that doesn’t belong on network television. We’re on cable.&#13;
&#13;
“If we were on a major network there would be a greater controversy.” &#13;
