Central VT Lesbians: Not All Work and No Play

Sunday, April 10, 25 lesbians gathered
for brunch in Worcester to initiate the for-
mation of the Lesbian Social Club. The
purpose of the LSC is to provide situations
for lesbians to socialize outside of the bar
and so rural lesbians will not feel so iso-
lated.

Eventually, we would like to have
ongoing interest groups with the monthly
brunches as the re-grouping time. Some
interests which were expressed by the
women were bicycling, hiking, game
nights, support groups, gardening, sketch-
ing, mother’s groups, movie going, danc-
ing, fishing and potlucks, picnics and bar-
be-ques.

The following events are scheduled for
May onward:

-May 7th - Weekend Campout in Plain-
field

-May 15th - BBQ in Williamstown at
11:00 a.m.

-June 12th - Hike up Mt. Elmore. Meet at
10:30 a.m. at Elmore State Park, Route 12.
Bring a lunch

-June 26th - Brunch in Worcester at 9:30

a.m. Also Gay Pride March later this day. -

Lesbians who are unable to attend Pride
Day can stay at the house

-July 30th - A“Pass the Bar Exam” Party
in Chelsea. Come after 2 p.m. BBQ at 5:00
p.m. “Stream Dipping” available.

For more information please call Holly
at 229-0109. Please remember to respect
the security and privacy of any lesbian as-
sociated with the Lesbian Social Club.

Catholic Gays Protest

New York City, April 3 - Eighteen
members of the Cathedral Project, an or-
ganization of lesbian and gay Catholics,
were arrested outside St. Patrick’s Cathe-
dral today as they demonstrated on the
sidewalk blocking Easter Sunday worship-
pers. The demonstration began when 60
protesters in the last pews of the church
stood up five minutes before the start of
mass and walked out of the church singing
“We Shall Overcome.” Across the street,
150 protesters held their own Easter service
as part of a monthly protest against Cardi-
nal John O’Connor’s outspoken con-
demnation of homosexuality.

Protesters waiting outside the church
chanted “Shame! Shame!” at the departing
cardinal’s procession.
