June 1993

Same World,
Different Channel

Belinda Darcy

An evening of short stories, written and
read by Vermont’s own lesbian and gay
writers is scheduled for Wednesday,
June 23 from 6-8 pm at Chassman and
Bem in Burlington.

Hosted by Chassman and Bem as part of
Verrnont’s 1993 Lesbian, Gay and Bi-
sexual Pride Celebration, the event is
made possible by a grant from Burling-
ton’s City Arts and is open to the public
at no charge. An informal reception im-
mediately following will give the audi-
ence a chance to meet the writers and, if
interested, discuss the formation of an
ongoing local fiction writers group.

Writers need all the encouragement and
input they can get. It’s quite a lonely pro-
fession. Queer fiction has the capacity to
sustain us through periods of isolation
from our community. Stories give us role
models and validate our lives. Ask any
lesbian about her coming out and she'll
probably mention Rubyfmit Jungle or
Patience and Sarah. Ask any gay man;
F rontrunner and The Best Little Boy in
the World may come to mind. But
there’s so much more to gay fiction than
coming out stories. Some of the stories
being written by queer writers today
don't even feature queer characters, and
yet retain an innate queer sensibility.

Join Verrnont’s writers on the 23rd to
celebrate our literature. V
