i , too, do not know if it was the largest march or whatever but i was there
and by three-thirty, the organisers announced they had 3/4 mill. people
accounted for and scads more filling the other end. i'd say we had close to a
million pissed-off pple there and maybe 80 anti-choice demonstrators at the
most. how big was the 87 queer rts march?

Subject: Pro-choice March

In a recent posting, Peter Nardi asked if the media were still "forgetting
the Lesbian and Gay March on Washington in 1987."  Actually, the _New_York
Times_ Monday edition mentioned the 1987 March in a blurb titled "March Was
Big.  But How Big?"  The article stated that the park police estimated the Gay
rights rally at 200,000 while organizers put the turnout at 500,000.  So, to
answer your question, Peter, I don't think the NYT has forgotten about the
march.  As a matter of fact, the NYT has been doing a knock up job in
reporting on issues relevant to the gay and lesbian community.  Recently, it
has published articles on a case in which a lesbian was granted the legal right
to adopt her lover's child, portrayal of gays and lesbians in the media,
the whole "Basic Instinct" imbroglio was explained in an article a few weeks
 agoand in today's edition there was an article on the "Pink Angels" which is
a group that patrols the streets of Chicago to combat anti-gay violence.  Plus
numerous articles have appeared concerning the AIDS pandemic.

The Times recently acquired a new publisher.  I wonder if this has anything to
do with all the articles on gays and lesbians?

Hey everybody,

I have recently decided to go to the University of Wisconsin, Madison to begin
graduate work in Sociology. Being a west coast queer, I havn't the faintest
idea as to what to expect for the...GASP...midwest (sorta).

Is there anyone out there who could clue me in? I'd be real appreciative.

Have a Queer Day!

Matt (MSLOAN@Pomona.Claremont.Edu)
