By Popular Demand!

The Second Sesquicentennial LA-Motss Gathering!

In hopes of repeating the inebriated triumph of last year, you
are invited to a gathering/dinner of Los Angeles motss folk.
Owing to the cost of cleaning and repairing my home last year,
I am invoking prudence by arranging for the use of a kicky
little Japanese place. So far, there are no illustrious
extra-locals to be honored, but maybe my agents can dig one
up later.

The Details:

Where: Amagi Restaurant
       6114 W. Sunset Blvd. (at Gower, across the street from
       the Sunset-Gower Studios and the local CBS affiliate,
       in the same complex as Thrifty drugstore, so you can stock
       up on motion sickness medicine).

When: Saturday, 24 October @ 7:30 PM.

Miscellaneous: This place has a good 'buffet', but sushi and teppan
               are also available. AND! There is KARAOKE in the bar!

SO's and interested bystanders are welcome. Please RSVP to
foucault@netcom.com with the number in your party.

(If you receive this invitation on more than one list, please
excuse the annoyance; I learn of at least one new motss mailing
lists in LA every week)

Subject: Senators' list

The list of senators voting for Clarence Thomas skipped from Hawaii to
Michigan. Illinois should have been on there listing Dixon, but I don't know
the results for Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, or
Massachusetts.

Even though I'm from Indiana, I must raise my hand in favor of sparing
Joisy. Whatever faults the state may have, it IS the home of the
worshipfully innovative drum corps the Cadets of Bergen County. They
should certainly be allowed to live.

This is from the October edition of Outrage.
"Tasmanian gay activisit Nick Toonen has lodged a second complaint
with the United Nations Human Rights Committee in Geneva.  This time he
is complaining that the Federal Government is obstructing his
first complaint, by withhoding information about Tasmania's anti-gay
laws from the UN.  The federal government has missed two UN guidelines.
Toonen alleges that Canberra (... Australia's capital...) is stalling while
the government makes up its mind about the ADF (... Australian Defence Force)
ban"

Tasmania is now the only state in Australia that retains anti-gay legislation.
Last year, the Lower House of the State Parliament passed a bill
decriminalising homosexuality, but it was rejected by the Upper House, who are
basically a bunch of rich white farmers, notoriious for their homophobia,
rascism and eco-phobia (they want to dam every river in the State).

The last news I read about the defence force ban seemed to indicate that the
Cabinet would remove the ban.  This has flushed out every homophobe in
the country (at least those who can write to newspapers :).

Much thanks to jnrg@ocf.berkeley.edu for reminding us of the Senate Roll
Call Vote on the Clarence Thomas Confirmation.

Just one question.  What about the senators from the ten states whose
names fall between Hawaii and Michigan?  They were not on the list.

e.g. Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine,
Maryland, and Massachusetts.

LAST WEEK I ATTENDED A DACC CONFERENCE HERE IN LEXINGTON, KY.  "PARTNER
RELOCATION SERVICES" IS APPARENTLY BECOMING A BIG ITEM IN ACADEME. I AM
VERY INTERESTED IN NETWORKING WITH OTHER G/L DACC's.  I AM A DOCTORAL
CANDIDATE IN HIGHER EDUCATION RESEARCH AT UK AND MAY END UP BEING WHAT

HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR.
ALSO, I AM PRESENTING A PAPER AT Mid South Educational Research Assn (MSERA)

Univ. Tenn. Knoxville who might be planning to attend MSERA. If so, please

Hello.  I'm interested in Gay Studies in France.  Sociology.
Literature.  Anthropology.  Gaitude. (Is that the word?)
Does any one have a reading list on this? or scraps that might
develop into a reading list?
You can email directly to me at Moriarty@vm1.nodak.edu or through
gaynet.  Thanks and good wishes.  :-)

Apropos Coming Out Day, the New York Times Magazine (10/11) has a big
article on Gays in Politics.  It is generally very pro-gay,
and explains gay support for Clinton.  Very much worth reading
and sending to your Republican relatives.
