Gay Mayor BERLIN — Berlin has a new mayor and he’s one of us. Klaus Wowereit, a 47-year- old lawyer, was voted into office by his "fellow Social Democrats, forcing out a con- servative who had held the post since reunification in 1990. Wowereit presented himself to his party as the fresh force Berlin needs to clean up its finances, and also announced. in his candidate’s speech that he is gay, drawing lengthy applause. At least until new elections this fall, Berlin will be run by a ment on the national level, led by Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder.

Gays in Schools WASHINGTON - A bill over federal education funding got hijacked over debate on gays in schools. (On a vote of 51-49, the Senate approved a proposal by Jesse Helms, R-N.C.,.to strip federal funding from any the acceptance of homosexu- als.” Opponents countered by Winning swifi approval of an amendment by Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., barring schools from denying access to any youth group, Boy Scouts included, on the basis of their views on sexual orientation. Helms’ amendment was triggered by last year’s Supreme Court ruling that upheld a national Boy Scouts policy to ban gay members and leaders. He cited numerous examples in which local schools or school districts excluded Scouts from the use organized lesbians and homo- sexuals in this country of ours.” Democrats angrily denounced it, saying it would bind the hands of school boards trying to juggle access and Scout sponsorship with their states’ anti-discrimination laws. Boxer said the Scouts ‘already were treated as other groups are and added: “I believe this amendment is unnecessarily gratuitous. It is hurtful to a group of people. It divides us again in this coun- fly.”
