To the anonymous poster who raised concerns about the
ederly. I am a researcher for ALSO Care, an organisation that
tries to deal with specific gay needs that are not handled by
other organisations. On eof our main goals is to identify and
work out how to help aged people hwo are in need. Our problems
are to identify members of this group and determine how they can
be helped. Our mandate would extend, say, establishing a social center.

If you have any informaiton that might be useful to me, I would greatly
appreciate it if you could pass it on. In return, perhaps I can supply
some small amount fo information that we have collected.

Just a quick note to the person who asked about ASTRAEA.  It's an excellent
organization that raises $$ and funds many women's/lesbian projects.  I say
"women's/lesbian" because as I understand it, they used to fund women's
projects or those that would, by definition, include women, but are now
focusing specifically on lesbian projects.  They have been around for quite a
number of years, as some time before '86 I know they had given a grant to the
GLB Speaker's Bureau in Boston.

Subject: Policing Desires

The following is a quotation from Simon Watney's Policing
Desires:Pornography, AIDS, and the Media, which I am re-reading since I am
supposed to teach it tommorrow. I liked this quotation and I thought it
might have something to do with some of the debates which have occured
recently on gaynet. Watney is somewhat in the "constructionist" school,
similar to Jeffrey Weeks.

"This is why the notion of belonging to a single 'gay community' is
ultimately unhelpful and unconvincing. For whilst we may collectively
resist particular instances of injustice, campaign for the improvement of
our civil liberties, and celebrate and support ourselves within a culture
of sexual affirmation, this does not imply any essential unity to
homosexual desire as such. We undoubtedly constitute a constituency of
shared interests in relation to the workings of police, state and other
institutions of power. But this should not lead us to lose sight of the
diversity of human sexuality in all its divergent forms, which it is
perhaps the most radical aspect of gay culture continually to assert and
expose." (p. 25 Policing Desires. Simon Watney.)

Subject: Contact info for Brian McNaught

Brian McNaught spoke here at Vanderbilt University last night and this morning.
If you are desiring to have your administration have some sensitivity training,
or just educating the student body or corporate body, Brian is perfect.

This is the second year in a row he has been invited (and paid royally)
to speak at Vanderbilt.  Our Residential and Judicial Affairs Office and the
Opportunity Development Office sponsor his visit.

I had the honor of having a drink with him after his speech with a couple of
close friends.  He is truly amazing and his speaking abilities are unparalleled
in my humble opinion.

He may be contacted:

Brian R. McNaught
170 Fifteenth Street NE
Atlanta, Georgia   30309
(404)-892-9914


He is booking for the 1993 year now, most of 1992 is taken, but go ahead and
try anyway.  He is remarkable.  His book is called "On Being Gay", and he
has a video out by the same title.

Subject: Jarman's Edward II

I've seen Derek Jarman's "Edward II" and it is defiantly and definitely pro-
gay in a very postmodern sense and style. There are scenes of men passionately
kissing men, scenes with the London activist group Outrage, and other things
typically censored by Hollywood movies. Support it. At the benefit screening in
LA, Jarman spoke in person and said that England's BBC would be carrying the
film during prime-time and uncut! Imagine even PBS doing that here? It's
 openingin other cities I believe this weekend.
Anyone else note that all the media reported the huge march for pro-choice by
stating it was the largest march ever since the civil rights days. ARe they
 still forgetting the Lesbian and Gay March on Washington in 1987. Let them hear
 from you about this. Peter Nardi
