  Well, I think that JD is just before my time. Evidentally I missed
some fireworks. It's just seems hard to believe that sweet young 
thaang would be roasted on an open spit. As for someone being to out
in  public, this seems hard to believe coming from JD's mouth. This
is the same JD that was skipping through Waterfront Park with Nelson
isn't it?

I'm not sure quite how to respond to this, but I'll try.  To my knowledge, I have
not been involved in the type of thing Donald is screaming about, but, in reading
his post, I am supposed to feel I am.  I am not perfect and, I trust, neither is
Donald or anyone else reading this posting.  HOWEVER, I am not evil by definition
and CERTAINLY NOT by the skin color I happened to have been born with.  I take
great offense to the general nature of his post and the condescending tone about
the perceived inability of white people to care about other peoples and the
believed inability of white people to grow to anything beyond tolerance.

We all (or at least the vast majority of us) have some cross to bear (for those
who know me, yes, it is not the best phrase for me to use, but...).  Injustice is
something that everyone feels at sometime or another.  But I am not responsible
for the evils other have committed.  Just as the fact that I have a penis is not
my fault, neither is the fact that I am white.  

I suggest you get the enormous chip off your shoulder and try to work with people
instead of assuming they are against you from the outset.

Now, I don't expect this post to change your mind, but I needed to write it.  I
suppose you needed to write yours as well.  That is a shame.  Treating white
people with the respect and understanding you feel whites treat blacks with sets
us all backward.  Education is possible.  So are minunderstandings.  Open up a little,
listen, and question.  Then you can begin to see who are your friends and who are
your enemies.


Initially, Donals's post infuriated me.  Now it saddens me. 

To Donald:

I suspect you do not realize or do not care that you are becoming part of the
problem you seem to desperately want to solve.

Vanessa Redgrave did have the lead role of Olive Chancellor in the
Merchant-Ivory film of "The Bostonians" (1984).  There are *very*
strong sexual overtones between her character and the other young
heroine.  According to reviewers (Siskel and Ebert), Redgrave did not
shirk playing to those overtones.

Another round of queer bashings today - this time, churches.

I've already related how some anti-OCA political groups have had their
offices trashed. The No on 9 office has been vandalized twice, the
Out-PAC office has been broken into twice. In these cases membership
rosters were stolen. Our queer paper, Just Out, has been broken into
also.

Well, last night someone broke into the offices of the Portland
Metropolitan Community Church (MCC, a lesbigay-oriented church). They
stole a list of 300 members and vandalized the office. The intent of
this action is quite clear - terrorism.

In the same night, two other churches were attacked. An exhibit about
Anne Frank is about to open - the church that is sponsoring it ("First
Methodist"?) was vandalized. I'm also told that a Catholic church was
vandalized, and that this attack was related to the local Catholics
coming out against Measure 9. (I haven't verified this one myself.)

I'm stunned. There seems to be a clear campaign of political terror
here. I'm outraged it is going on. I'm outraged there is not a general
recognition of the persecution we suffer daily for being queer.

Consider an analogy: would be the community response if in two months
the Jewish Anti-Defamation League, the general offices of B'nai Brith,
a local Jewish Community Center, and three synagogues were all
attacked?

In good news - "Scott Lively, communications director of the OCA, was
found guilty today of assaulting lesbian photographer Catherine
Staufer". This happened a year ago - Scott Lively physically dragged
Catherine out of an OCA meeting, giving her severe bruises in the
process. She sued for damages, and won a settlement today for lots of
money (I think $30,000).

There was some television coverage of the jury's decision, including
one picture of Scott Lively with the word "Guilty" underneath. The
timing is exquisite, but I'm afraid that the majority of people in
Oregon just won't get it.

I apologise to Anthony Berno.  I was in a rotten mood yesterday, and I
let fly too readily.

When I saw:
>>Boring.  Destructive.  Divisive.  Dumb.  Futile.  Immature.
>>Irrational.  Irritating.  Laughable.  Ridiculous.  Unnecessary.
>>Unwanted.  Useless.
>>
>>And, for me, at least....
>>
>>Nonexistent.
I couldn't help reading it as saying "I don't suffer from romantic
jealousy, and those who do are boring, irritating, laughable, etc."
It still seems to me that this is what Anthony is saying, and while it
hardly merits the harsh words I used, I think he could afford to be a
bit more sympathetic.
