funded rabidly right wing organizations
like the Vermont Republican Assembly
pose far more of a threat to moderate Re-
publicans than their own positions on con-
troversial issues like gay rights. The real
enemy is people like John McClaughry
who can mobilize a campaign by appealing
to people’s worst instincts, their fears and
insecurities. Gays and lesbians need to
remind politicians who is making them pay
so dearly the price of their convictions.
Politicians who lead their legislative lives
taking positions that will not raise the ire of
McC1aughry’s soldiers are playing right
into their hands.

Batten herself, according to Cindy
Watson, is optimistic and does not plan to
go away. Even as she was being attacked,
she expressed no regret for her position on
H.247, remaining committed to “civil
rights for all people.” Vi Luginbuhl ob-
served that “logic must prevail!” Gays and
lesbians must continue to work hard to
expose the V.R.A and to support candidates
like Batten to make sure it does.

NEVGALR Activities Planned l

NEVGALR (Northeast Vermonters
for Gay and Lesbian Rights) have planned
three different activities for Coming Out
Day.

1 We are providing lavendar bows or
ribbons for lesbians, gay men and their
supporters in recognition of Coming Out
Day.

2 We are handing out leaflets on that
day, throughout various locations in the
Northeast, describing NEVGALR’s activi-
ties. NEVGALR is available to do ongoing
homophobia/lesbophobia workshops to
