ftQSIflemtfifll WESSRQE :{elth Elston, PreSident Gay Services Organization
Thank you for your letters, your encouragement, and your support. I sometimes get a little
depressed over the amount of work there is to do here at 680. i've found out how difficult
it is to deal with so many problems and so many individuals and keep everyone happy. Your
letters brighten my day and make my job much more gratifying.
Recently, I received a letter from a man named John. I would like to share some of it with
. you. John lives in a smaller town in Kentucky and while he doesn't make it to Lexington often,
he does receive our NEWSLETTER.
John wrote, "After reading your Editors Space Column, how I envied you who live in an area
where there is a chance to do something positive for gays. Way out here in limbo-land it seems
as though everyone should jump at the chance to help unify (the gay community) and maybe
relieve some of the awful tension and isolation which I, at any rate, feel so strongly.”
This feeling of isolation is a very common feeling, I've found, and is not felt just outside
major metropolitan areas. There are many who feel isolated in the city as well. This is par—
ticularly sad because all they need to do is reach out. The help they need is always here for
them.
People who live outside the Lexington area can still reach out, but it is harder for them and
many times they feel they are not heard. I'm not sure I have the answer to this problem, but
I want you to know that GSO is as much your organization as it is for those who live here.
We care very much for all of you and want to serve you as best we can.
Johns letter continues, "Thank you for being there as a sign of hope and consolation, however
distant. Hopefully someday fear won't rule us apart. For now, please hang in there and sur-
vive and encourage gays to live life fully and unafraid. God bless you.”
Let me assure you John, and all the gay community, we WILL hang in there. As long as there is
a need for Gay Services Organization, we'll be here for you.
God bless you, too, John.

dlqni v Dignity/Lexington met again on April 9 at the home of one of its members.
. ' A Catholic mass was celebrated by a priest in the area which was followed
‘ by a social hour with cocktails, conversation and wonderful munchies!
The group discussed upcoming events which included Fr. John McNeills address in Cincinnati
which was attended by five Lexington members, and the possibility of sending delegates to
a Toledo, Ohio board meeting in late April. With the attendance at this board meeting,
official recognition will be given to the Lexington chapter of the organization by Dignity,
Inc.
The group will hold its regular business meetings every second Wednesday of each month and
I will celebrate the liturgy on the last Saturday of each month. The location and times of
this affairs will be available through the GAYLINE at 231-0335.

Fr. McNeill's talk dealt with the spirit of Dignity.

also stated that his faith and hope were restored
through Dignity. Knowing that there are thousands W
out there with the same hopes and fears, it has to W
be worth the risk to believe that God does not fit

He ended his address by saying, "If God can change Wm

from selfishness to unselfish love; from hardness to W

HOMOSEXUALITY IS UNNATURAL AND IMMORAL
A growing number of scholars and theologians in the Catholic, Protestant and Jewish tradi-
tions are beginning to reevaluate religion's institutionalized prejudice against homosexu-
als. Recognizing that value judgements and moral choices are an inevitable and necessary
part of life, many religious leaders feel that it is imperative to make these ethical deci-
sions in the most informed and enlightened manner possible.
Many of the Biblical prohibitions concerning sexual behavior originated in an era when the
ancients did not have the psychological, sociological and sexological insights available
to us today. In the cultural context in which they lived, the writers were eager to guard
their religion against the encroachments of "paganism". The Biblical writers had little
understanding of the concept of sexual orientation or of the natural heterosexual/bisexual/
homosexual continuum of human sexual expression.
It never occured to them that persons engaging in same-gender sex acts could have been ex—
pressing their own natural sexuality rather than perverting the "natural order".
The orientation of one's sexuality is morally neutral. Subsequent choices about sexual
expression and behavior may be right or wrong, good or bad, life-affirming or dehumanizing.
In our democratic nad pluralistic society, it seems inappropriate, indeed, unjust, that
the value judgements of one group of people should be institutionalized and imposed upon
persons who hold a different perspective or understanding.
Religion has much to offer gay people in search of a fuller sense of self—worth and mean-
ing in their lives; gay people have many insights to bring to the community of faith con—
cerning personal freedom and willingness to struggle with the difficult questions of our
times.
The recognition of these mutual needs is growing, to the benefit of both the religious and
gay communities.

The film "Pink Triangles" begins with a scene of a street interview, where a middle—aged woman
is asked, "Do you know anyone who is gay?‘ "No, thank heaven!", she answers.
The documentary and following panel discussion was the first program of the Gay and Lesbian
Union of Students. Krista Hartmann, president, said the film "really underlines our purpose"
of representing the civil rights of gays and lesbians. "We want everyone to see that discrim-
ination does exist", said Hartmann.
About 150 people viewed the film, which was followed by a panel.discussion led by A. Hackney, a
counselor at Comprehensive Care, and two GALUS members. (END)
