The homosexuality. Part one was prin By SHANNON BAYNHAM Staff Writer What is the identity of a ga person? I think defining ourselves by .01 sexuality is not what we're trying 1 do. That's being done to us. But you look at the gay communit we're all outcasts who are afrai We all live under the same fear. W all live under the same threat of r tribution ? what could happen i us someday, and we support eac other. Fear of retribution? Well, fear of retribution not th it's justified by any means, but fe; of attack ? and the emotional a tack is something we face everyday So we're a community of frien* and of family. That doesn't met it's idyllic. There's racism ar anti?Semitism, and everything el: within the gay community, b there's one bond of oppression th we all share among us, and I thii it's a pretty ridiculous oppression. The idea of oppressing me b cause of whom I sleep with is f me, just really being really nit-pick it's completely my business whom sleep with. The only thing that really bothe me, like when I wrote the article The Gamecock ? the rebuttle to n was Christian. Well, I'm not Chris ian. I don't care what Christiai think. I don't care what their Bib says, and I don't see how that's valid argument to say to someoi who's not a Christian.

But because it is seen as a gay disease, only the gay commmunity advocated safe sex on a large scale in the beginning years, and they are now protected. You said that about 95 percent or a large number of people in GLSA stay in the closet. Why is that? duality and of an interview with Kyira Brooke, presic interview is meant to broaden the public's ted March 4. text, and a lot of people just aren't Christian.

Much as the existentialists did. 'e Much as a lot of people did. I do e- what I can until it hurts somebody to else.

I really is believe that we need to take care of in each other. id There's a responsibility to care se for what? ut To promote an overall feeling that at people have enough security that lk they can like themselves. People need a basis of self acceptance bee fore they can get anywhere else, and or I think wherever that acceptance is y, questioned, you're basically destroyI ing that person's psyche. The main work I do right now is rs with AIDS. I work as a buddy as a in hotline volunteer. It's mostly hard to le see these people sometimes lose ev?t erything. A lot of it, again, is homois phobia.

One of the reasons I'm the president is not because I embody the beliefs of most of the members of GLSA; I don't. I'm very radical, but I'm willing to go public. I'm willing to have my name and my phone number out. How did yourfamily react? My mother likes to see me as a poor feminist who has been way? laid and is now living in a realm of sordid lesbianism, but she's supportive. I just think she wishes I hadn't made this a political and open lifestyle. She would definitely enjoy it if 1 had a good husband, but she would almost be as happy if I could find a good wife. My father and my stepmother just don't really talk about it. All three of them support it. As for GISA's acceptance in the South, do you see more homophobia? It's just that the rights movement here is fighting for rights that were fought for about 10 to 15 years ago in other parts of the country. It's like I've gone back in time. We're definitely fighting for more basic things that other states have already passed ? such as getting the sodomy laws taken off the books and getting statewide recognition of the unacceptiblity of homophobia. i Exam I es worth it? coupon in for Regularly $40) >C students. \ i C.
