Schoofly Donates
to OITM

Claiming that she "has seen the light,"
Mrs. Phyllis Schoofly, the well-known right
wing, anti-ERA advocate, recently contacted
Out in the Mountains and offered to donate
$100,000‘ to the paper’s ongoing fund raising
campaign.

Shown here at a presentation ceremony
last week, Mrs. Schoofly refused to offer any
explanation for her sudden change in heart.
She did, however, express great
embarrassment and regret for her years of
anti-gay lobbying efforts stating, "May
Goddess have mercy on me."

Speaking with Out in the Mountains
staffers Tuesday, Mrs. Schoofly pledged the
resources and energies of her nationwide
organization. The Beagle Forum, for
fund-raising efforts saying, "it is our fit
penance."

Unnamed sources close to Mrs.
Schoofly say she believes she has received an
ultimatum from Goddess commanding her to
donate $3,000,000 to Gay/Lesbian causes
before April 15, or she will be "stricken."

"Not only heterosexuals have birthdays,"
said a company spokesman at a
well-attended press conference, "and we
think it’s time we stood up and publicly said
that."

Oversized samples of the new line
unveiled Wednesday showed cards celebrating
union ceremonies, anniversaries (beginning at
one month), and coming out to Mom, Dad,

Brother, Sister
Grandmother.
In a twist on a familiar theme, some of
the cards depict same-sex couples silhouetted
on twilight beaches and hand-holding brides
atop giant wedding cakes. Defending the
series, a Hallmarket spokesman said, "We
saw no need to abandon traditional themes.
We are attempting to appeal to the more
mainstream homosexual population."
