Letters to the Editor

Dear Out in the Mountains,

Iam a gay man some 48 years old and
only partially out of the closet-even at my
age. I have found OITM an excellent way
of staying in touch with other gay men
and lesbians in the privacy of my own
home. I don’t even have to go to Pearl’s!

I have come up with yet another means of
staying in touch with people using mod-
em media technology. The idea is to use
the public access channel on cable TV to
broadcast a weekly show about lesbian
and gay men’s concems. There is already
a show in the Burlington area called The
Women’s Liberation Network. Why not a
Gay Network News (or something of that
nature)?

It could be done at low cost, using the
studio and equipment which Adelphia
Cable has in Burlington. I believe they
charge little, if anything, for the use of
their studio, and there is no charge for
scheduling it on Channel 15.

Adelphia Cable covers a lot of Chit-
tenden County, and there are cable com-
panies in Montpelier, Rutland, Brat-
tleboro, and Bennington. I believe they
all have a public access channel. The
shows could be taped in the Burlington
studio and rebroadcast throughout the
state, thus reaching a big share of Ver-
mont’s gay community.

The only further recommendation I
would make is to talk about the human
and personal side of being gay in this ho-
mophobic society. Somehow I am more
interested in the human side of it than the
political side of it.

So again my thanks for faithfully send-
ing me OITM and I hope some reader
will see this letter and say to him/herself,
“Hey! I could do that!”
