          Who da fuck is Rick Ducommon?  And why doesn't he know that
          eating pussy is always better than eating beef?  (Better for
          the arteries.)

	Hi, Todd K. forwarded a note to me about Levi-Strauss' decision to
stop funding of the Boy Scouts of America ``because of the blatant
discrimination that BSA practices against gay young men''.

	They have a 1-800 number that has been pounded by groups like the
American Family Association and other conservative groups.

	If you are at all in support of their decision, please give their
Consumer Affairs hotline a call at 800/872-5384.

	The woman I talked to was DELIGHTED to hear from me, and asked very
strongly that we get people to call in as soon as possible as they are getting
slammed pretty hard.  One of her quotes was ``...I know there are people out
there who agree with us, but we aren't hearing from them...''.

	They will ask your name and phone number so they can call you back
if they need to take action or disconnected.  They will also ask for your
zip code for statistical demographics.

	PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE call if you agree, and forward to anyone who
you think might be supportive.

			Thanks!

  I recently read that Barry Goldwater came out (so to speak) in favor
  of gay rights legislation.  I'm not a fan of this old republican, but
  at least he's learned a thing or two.  Too bad he didn't learn it while
  he was in office.

Subject: G/L/B Student Organizations

The following schools didn't have listings in the QRD file of g/l/b student
groups.
I'm looking in particular for USmail or e-mail addresses for student groups
at the following schools:

Univ. of Michigan
Brigham Young
Penn State
Stanford
Boston College

Can anyone help me?

ALSO:  The file in the QRD is really out of date! (Last revision in '91)
       Is someone planning to do an update?

If they are:

Subject: VATICAN'S ANTI-GAY STATEMENT

Can someone out there enlighten me about the Vatican's recent anti-gay
statement?

Is this a recommendation of principles? an official statement of policy?
a "bull"? an "encyclical"?

What effect is it likely to have on the U.S. Catholic Church?

Is this anything "new"?  Has the Church voiced such a definite position
before?

Finally, who's behind it?  Ratzinger?  O'Connor?

I called Bank of America tonight (at about 9:30 PM ET) and spoke with Carolina
who was very happy to get a call supporting the Bank.  The financial sector
being as conservative as it is, I thought I'd start with them.  Do call and
support!

 We are currently compiling information for the new edition of the
Encyclopedia of Associations: National Organizations of the U.S., which
describes more than 20,000 national, nonprofit groups. The Encyclopedia
of Associations is published by Gale Research Inc. (founded 1954).
Complemented by companion volumes International Organizations and
Regional, State and Local Organizations, the Encyclopedia is updated and
revised annually.

The Encyclopedia of Associations, now in its 24th edition, is considered
a standard reference source and is found in libraries throughout the

individuals looking for groups in a specific field. Critics have hailed
EA as a classic research tool.

We wish to include your organization in this directory and ask that you
complete the questionnaire on the other side. Please return it within 15
days (or as soon as possible). We would also be grateful for any
additional information you could provide, such as lists of parent and
sister organizations with addresses, if possible.
