I spent this evening folding flyers, stuffing envelopes, and making
phone calls at the No on 9 office this evening.  Of the people that
I called, 17 planned to vote no, two were undecided, and only one
was planning to vote yes.  And the one yes voter was very open and
willing to discuss the issue.  This was in the Portland area, though,
so the numbers aren't representative of the state as a whole.

If you're in the area, and you can volunteer some time, do so!  It
was a great deal of fun, and they need all the help they can get.

Subject: G & L Chorus Mailing List Promo
Organization: Department of Psychology, University of Toronto
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 92 17:14:32 GMT

The Gay & Lesbian Chorus Mailing List is coming up on its first anniversary,
so I thought I'd throw a plug for it out onto the 'Net for the benefit
of those who haven't heard of us before.

The mailing list is administered by John Schrag of Alias Research and myself.
This list is intended for those who:

-  are singing members, supporting members, or conductors of a Lesbian or
   Gay chorus;
   
-  are interesting in joining or forming such a chorus;
   
-  are fans of choral music or of particular choristers;   :-)


The purpose of this list is to provide a forum for:

-  exchanging ideas for repetoire, arrangements, staging, costuming,
   managing, fundraising and any other aspects of running a chorus;
   
-  discussing choral music in general;
   
-  announcing upcoming events and concerts;
   
-  exchanging concert programs;
   
-  meeting other choristers before the big GALA conference in
   Denver next summer;
   
-  And whatever else tickles your fancy.


If you're interested in joining this list, send mail to:

        chorus-request@psych.toronto.edu

List submissions can be mailed to:

        chorus@psych.toronto.edu

It would be nice if you would include other information, such as what
chorus you sing in (if any) and what part you sing, just for statistics'
sake.  Any scheduling information about your chorus' upcoming performances
(songs being performed, dates & locations) for the new season would be
greated with enthusiasm.

Questions can be mailed to me, but John is by far the more knowledgeable
contact:

        jschrag@alias.com

Thanks.  My relationship with my ``real'' brothers is pretty nonexistent, too.
I'll find some way of celebrating this evening, having a new brother (who's a

He does go out and activly tries for the support of the fundies.  In '88,
he worked hard for Falwell's attentions before Falwell went for Bush.

Well, I talked to my mother, who happens to live about a 
hundred miles north of Miami, today.  To my ever-loving relief
she's fine.  (And would you believe it: she's worried about me!
She's in the middle of one of the biggest storms to hit this
season and she's worried about me!)
Anyway, she said that the reports were that it [the storm, Andrew]
wasn't as bad as everyone was thinking it was going to be.  As
a matter of fact, they didn't even get any rain where she is.

Ok, so this settled my fears about my parents,  now all I have
to do is wait for Sim to post again, to make sure he's ok.

Wishing him and his: health, hearth, and happiness,

It shot across my mind.
I don't think there's much of a correlation,
since a lot of what is generally agreed to be sex
may occur without orgasms
(and orgasms may occur without w.i.g.a.t.b.s.,
for example, in wet dreams).

I recently went to a performance by SF gay comedian Mark Davis.  He said
that he  wanted to get married, flouncing down the aisle in a lacy white
wedding dress, stripping down to a black leather jockstrap as he went.
And he wanted all his out of town relatives to be there, feeling jsut as
uncomfortable and out of place as HE had at THEIR weddings.

I had jsut been to my brother's wedding, which involved some unspeakable
heterosexual rituals, so it really spoke to me.
