              <text>I wish to state that I believe that everyone has the right to voice their opinions. In last week's Grizzly Dr. Douglas Nagy did this, and this week I offer my rebuttal to his article. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not a member of the school's homosexual community, but still I was offended by what this professor wrote in his paper. We were all treated to a grand little lecture of the Judeo-Christian standards for sexual behavior, and how homosexuals are deviants. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After reading it, I was fuming with anger. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm very, very intrigued as to just what the standard Judeo-Christian sexual practices are these days. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know what people in 17th Century New England thought they were. They used to sleep in beds with boards between them and their spouse. They put scarlet letters on women and men who had affairs. They were not allowed to dance or show any skin other than hands and face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In that time homosexuals would have been hanged for their deeds. Let us not forget, Dr. Nagy, that in that time, chemists, or alchemists, would have also been hanged. They&lt;br /&gt;were called "witches." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I am interpreting my Bible correctly, people who have premarital sex are sinners. People who have sex for pleasure rather than reproduction&lt;br /&gt;are sinners. People who masturbate are sinners. By the looks of this, probably not a single, solitary soul here at Ursinus is fit toenter Heaven, and all will bum in Hellfire for all eternity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, imagine that. I guess most of us are deviants, eh?
&lt;p&gt;I think that sex is something which is part of nature. All animals do it, and so do we. It is actually a beautiful thing, not something of deviance. This concept applies to any situation in which two people who care about each other make the mutual decision to "do it." Whether these people are man and woman, man and man, woman and woman, or a group of men and women, it is their right to pursue their own desires.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even if I didn't include sex in this discussion, I believe that Dr. Nagy's comments are wrong. Not all gay and lesbian couples are sex fiends. Some, and I believe this to&lt;br /&gt;be the majority, are in it for love or&lt;br /&gt;at least companionship. So what if their love is for someone of the same gender as they are ... it is still love. You never know who you are going to fall in love with, it just happens.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whether homosexuality is caused by something genetic, or is merely a choice, it is about something much higher than deviance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know too many people who are unable to find love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If one man's happiness is found in another man's arms, I say good for them. I'm happy for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just imagine, if everyone was able to find someone who truly loved them, male or female, how truly Heaven-like this earth would be.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

              <text>I have noticed that many people, especially men, feel awkward around homosexuals. They tend to think that homosexuals, like myself, are a different kind if person, not just someone with a different sexual orientation. Many guys fumble over what to say or how to act when they discover that "that guy over there is gay!" So for all those men having difficulty dealing with gays on a social level, here are some tips I happen to have.&#13;
WHEN YOU MEET A GAY MALE: TIPS FOR THE HETEROSEXUAL MALE&#13;
Do not run screaming from the room...this is rude.&#13;
If you must back away, do so slowly and with discretion.&#13;
&#13;
Do not assume that he is attracted to you.&#13;
Do not assume that he is not attracted to you.&#13;
Do not assume that you are not attracted to him.&#13;
&#13;
Do not expect him to be as excited about meeting a hetersexual as you might be about meeting a homosexual...he was probably raised by them.&#13;
Do no immediately start talking about your girlfriend or wife in order to make it clear that you are straight...he probably already knows and could care less.&#13;
Do not tell him that it is wrong to prefer men and that every man wants to hold and love a smooth sensual woman. These are common fallacies and should be treated as such.&#13;
Do not ask him how he got this way...Instead, ask yourself how you got that way.&#13;
&#13;
Do not assume that he is dying to talk about being gay.&#13;
Do not expect him to refrain from talking about being gay.&#13;
&#13;
Do not trivialize his experience by assuming it is a bedroom issue only.&#13;
He is gay 24 hours a day. &#13;
&#13;
If you are tempted to tell him he is sick and is taking the easy way out...Think about that...Think about that REAL hard.&#13;
&#13;

&#13;
And women, remember that these same "TIPS" can apply to you. Just change the gender references. </text>

              <text>...Incidents of gay-bashing have increased throughout the nation. In 1990, 1,588 acts of violence were reported in an examination of six cities. This number is up 42 percent over 1989. According to the task force's policy institute this increase may be tied to better reporting of statistics and higher media interest.&#13;
Kimberly Bergalis, a 23-year old woman who contracted AIDS from her dentist, called on Congress to require all health-care workers and hospital patients to be tested for AIDS.

              <text>Editor's Note: As of publication, the group mentioned in the following article has not been approved by the Student Activities Committee or by the faculty. Their consitution is currently under review by SAC. This article was submitted to The Grizzly by the GALA organization.&#13;
&#13;
Last week, the newly founded Gay and Lesbian Alliance began its first "visibility campaign" on campus. Letters were sent to all students, to introduce GALA to the student body. Similar letters were also sent to the faculty to elicit their support. And on Friday October 11, over four hundred National Coming Out Day fliers adorned most campus buildings. The message: Gays and Lesbian are a part of this campus, and there are more of us than you think!&#13;
The GALA will exist to serve several functions on campus. First, to provide a social outlet for gay, lesbian, or bisexual students. For example, the third Friday of every month, the Gay/Lesbian Student Union at Penn holds dances for the area's large gay student population, which we welcome anyone to attend with us. Second, GALA will locate, attend and perhaps sponsor, events to increase our own self-awareness. Our hope is to educate young gay men and women about the wonderful Gay Culture that exists in the world and to promote a feeling of self-worth and self-acceptance. Third, GALA hopes to act as peer counselors to students who are having difficulty accepting their sexuality.&#13;
Lastly, the GALA hopes to heighten awareness on campus, and to combat homophobia. Plans are already underway to bring speakers to campus and run workshops. &#13;
For studnets interested in contacting the GALA, we have formed a network of faculty contacts. Interested students can approach any of these contacts, who will pass your name and telephone number on to the Executive Board of GALA. We promise discretion and complete confidentiality. Members names will not appear on lists which are accessible to the public. &#13;

              <text>To the Editor:&#13;
&#13;
In the October 22, 1991 edition of the Grizzly, a "news" article was written by a staff reporter to describe the formation of GALA. Unfortuantely, since no one in the GALA was approached about this article (not even our very accessible advisor, Dr. Oboler) there are several incorrect statements about GALA, which we would like to clarify here.&#13;
The question which seems to have roused the most controversy on campus is our desire to remain confidential. Despite what last week's article said, GALA does not wish for its members to be removed from the Student Directory. The concerns of GALA is the list of names, addresses, and telephone numbers of GALA officers in the 'Clubs and Organizatioins' sections of the Student Directory or Student Handbook. Obviously, the reason for this is clear. GALA members do not deserve even one crank phone call. One SAC member felt that GALA had a poor opinion of the entire student body. We feel we have an accurate opinion of some of the student body. It would only take one homophobic student to create serious problems for a member if he or she decided to.&#13;
How then would potential members reach GALA? Through our advisor, Dr. Regina Oboler, Sociology (x2319). But then GALA decided that perhaps channeling all students through one professor was too much. So, we asked if there were other faculty members willing to work with GALA. The response has been fantastic. We hope to have at least one professor in each department, so a student can approach whomever they are comfortable with.&#13;
Of course, if a student knows a member he or she can always approach GALA directly. Even if this is the case however, he or she may not want to approach that person. Our first (and not last) student to contact GALA felt that if anyone saw him with the GALA President, his homosexuality would "become obvious, everyone would know." Is our promise of confidentiality superfluous? Not to this student.&#13;
How can GALA promote "Coming Out" and still seek confidentiality for its members? The answer to this question is obvious to anyone who is familiar with the long and difficult process of "coming out." Coming out is not simply announcing to everyone you know that you are gay. "Coming Out" is a series of steps, during which you tell friends, teachers, parents, strangers; and during which you learn about the "gay community." But first, you must finally decide to come out to yourself. This is often the most difficult step. We encourage students who are somewhere in this process to join GALA. At the very least, GALA provides students with a friendly and accepting ear, guranteed. Should these students deny themselves a friend, merely because they have no discrete way to approach GALA? Absolutely not!&#13;
Many people have asked, "isn't GALA being paranoid?" We GALA members who have been "out" on campus do not think so. Have you ever heard someone scream "FAG" at you each day in Wismer? Have you had "no more homos" written on your door? have you lived in a house where fourteen people shared one bathroom because they were afraid to use the one you used? GALA members have. We want to spare all gay students from this behavior, but at the same time offer an outlet through which they can grow as much as any "straight" student. On October 11th, someone scribbled on a GALA flier, "FAGS GO HOME!" What this individual forgot was: this is our home. And we are not going anywhere. &#13;
GALA is committed to raising the consciousness of this campus, in order to end occurrences like those listed above. Often we have heard, "But if you choose to come out, then you have to expect the abuse." Expect, yes; accept, never. Expecting gays and lesbians to hide themselves to avoid abuse is no better than telling Blacks to move to Africa to avoid racism. GALA would like acceptance, or at least tolerance, from the student body. We invite everyone in the "Ursinus community" to actively discourage homophobia wherever it occurs.&#13;
Still others worry, "How can GALA sponsor events open to the whole campus?" Obviously, any speakers or workshops run by GALA would be open to the entire campus. In situations where gay students would be needed to speak, GALAs and GLSUs at other campus have already volunteered to help if our own numbers are inadequate. Other events, like going to a dance at the Penn GLSU, would be open to anyone who wishes to attend. Obviously this activity would not appeal to all students. But the purpose of any campus group is not to run events which appeal to all students, only to those who have an interest. This applies to the MSU, IV, Meistersingers, Phi Psi, the football team, the Pre-legal club, and every other group on campus. &#13;
GALA hopes that this article has answered a few questions and cleared up most confusion regarding our goals and our charter. As usual, we encourage any students who consider themselves gay or bisexual to approach GALA. Any students, faculty, or staff who wish to join GALA are also welcome to become involved. And we thank all of those people who have already stood up for GALA; we can't do it without you!&#13;
