Dear Readers: From Gay Community News: "...One of the largest civil rights demonstrations since the founding of our country took place on October 11, 1987. Both major national magazines, Newsweek and Time, ignored this historic event. Time magazine offered absolutely no coverage and Newsweek included only a single-sentence in the highly facetious "Overheard" section. We urge all of you to protest this outrageous omission by writing the editors of both magazines: Newsweek 444 Madison Ave. New York, NY 10022 Time Time and Life Bldg. Rockefeller Ctr. New York, NY 10020 Letters should include the writer’s full name, address and home telephone." . yougrieo mehts,’ its‘ ' riaeiihgs with us;== 3 The"deadlin'e for issue isjthe 15th of publication. ts/iatiavriaIslV's'houiid’b Letters to the Editor To whom it may concern: I visited Vermont in August. I ran across your paper "Out in the Mountains" and brought it home and read it from cover to cover. I must commend you for a very professional, interesting, and entertaining paper. The local Gay paper here in Sacramento could never compare. Sincerely, Ronald Steam Dear friends: We are interested in others, Gay men and Lesbians, who took part in the Tuesday, October 13th civil disobedience at the Supreme Court. Any of those who participated who might like to create a strong and united affinity group for future actions addressing Gay and Lesbian liberation, please contact: Ahdih Fostre David Hylander Rt. 1, Box 3034 Hyde Park, VT 05655 (802) 888-4266 j HAS THE POPE READ THIS YET? - OUT! magazine, Madison, Wisconsin - The results of a 25-year study conducted by psychologist Richard Sipe has found that 20 percent of the 57,000 Roman Catholic priests in the United States are gay, ant. that roughly half of them are sexually active. Another 20 percent of the priests were found to be heterosexually active. Reaction to Sipe’s study among other psychologists has been, "twenty percent are gay? That’s What’s in a Name? Some of the protestors arrested during the civil disobedience action at the Supreme Court got off easier than others. Apparently when the judges and commissioners were handing out sentences, they weren't particular about the names and addresses people gave. Many demonstrators gave fictitious names and addresses in hopes of keeping their records clean. Since many people who pleaded guilty were given 30 days to pay the $50 fine, those who gave fake names were under no obligation to come up with the money. One such lucky demonstrator was Connie Lingus (say it out loud). She caused much comic relief as she and other intrepid protestors were shuffled through a myriad of holding cells. Each time her name was called by an official, giggles broke out among the jailed. The story goes that Connie made it all the way to her arraignment without being questioned about her name. In fact, the commissioner presiding over her hearing even said her name out loud and looked confused when those present in the courtroom tittered. The commissioner sentenced Connie like the rest, and it wasn’t until several minutes later that she (the commissioner) finally "got it" and cracked up laughing.
