>Howdy again!
>     First, I again thank the several *dozen* people whgo've offered me
>suggestions for inclusion in the list of living, famous, out lesbians, gay
>men and bisexuals.  If I haven't yet replied to you personally, or if I've
>neglected to do so, please know that I'm very grateful to all of y'all who
>responded.  This is going to be one whale of a display!
>     In response to many many many requests, when I finalize the list in the
>next day or so, I'll post it to the Net.
>     I should note a few things for those of you who have posted on this
>subject or are inclined to do so:
>     The purpose of the display is to show both str8 folk and closeted
>people, particularly undergraduates, that hip hot and happening famous
>people, living today, are out of the closet and are still rich, famous,
>popular and happy.  Therefore:
>     (1) We're including only *living* persons.  James Baldwin, Harvey Milk,
>Zora Neale Hurston, etc., all would be wonderful to include, but they're all
>deceased, and the idea is to show that you can be out *today*, in the current
>post-Reagan atmosphere, and be okay.
>     (2) We're including only *out* persons.  This *is* "Proud To Be Out
>Week" that we're talking about.
>     There's been considerable debate about whether certain people in fact
>are out.  If they've said or written in a public forum that they are lesbian,
>gay or bisexual, they qualify.  To my deep regret, Lily Tomlin hasn't;
>calling Jane Wagner her family, but refusing to state (given several
>opportunities and direct questions) that she's a lesbian, doesn't cut it.
>Neither does Jodie Foster thanking all the wonderful women in her life at the
>Oscars.  Neither does Christian Laettner saying that the things he does when
>not shooting hoops are "eating, sleeping, studying, and spending time with
>[his "best friend"]." k.d. lang said "I'm a lesbian" in print.  *That*
>qualifies.
>     (3) Finally, and likely to cause the most debate, we're including only
>*famous* persons.  "Famous" in this context means people whose names are
>recognizeable to str8s and to closeted people, the target audience.
>     A number of y'all have provided terrific role models who are well known
>within the l/g/b community, but who, sad to say, couldn't be told from Adam
>(or Eve) in the str8 community.  Others are well known only among lesbians,
>or only among gay men, or only in certain geographic areas.
>     If there's any serious possibility that the target audience might have
>heard of someone, that person will be included.  If not, they won't.  Where
>to draw the line is tough, and I don't expect universal agreement on this;
>our committee just has to do its best at seat-of-the-pants estimation based
>on who's in the hetero press and who's talked about at lunch in the
>cafeterias and whose albums get bought and whose books get read.

>Paraphrased from a report in the 22 Sept. Melbourne _Age_:
>
>The acting Prime Minister has urged Cabinet to end the Defence Force ban
>on homosexuals, saying it was vital for the whole community. He basically
>argued when it comes to AIDS it is best to keep everything out in the
>open.
>
>A coalition (right) government would reinstate the ban if asked to by the
>military chiefs, according to the Opposition's Defence spokesman. A senior
>military source said that if the Government scapped the ban, soldiers would
>be urged to vote for the coalition.
>
>Senoir officers in the military argue that in reality there has been little to
>stop homosexuals from joining the Defence force, but they say that complete
>acceptance of homosexuality would endanger cohesion, especially in combat
>units. The Government caucus committee, however, compared the military to
>police forces, where, it said, acceptance of homosexuals had been
>unequivocal. [I find that a little hard to believe.]
