Gay marr Editor's note: This is part three c Lesbian Student Association. The ii homosexuality. Part one was printer By SHANNON BAYNHAM Staff Writer Do you feel that gays rear their children not to be gay? I think most gays understand that you don't raise a kid to be a certain sexuality. A kid will come to a sexuality, and I think gay parents would be much more supportive of a lot of children's choices than homophobic parents would be, and some heterosexuals are homophobic, definitely. What's the biggest problem facing the gay community, today? Recognition and protection for legal protection under the law. Does the gay community perceive itself as a separate entity of society? ies, oecause we are nui mainstream. There are gays of mainstream, but we arc a subculture of heterosexual society, although that doesn't mean that everybody in society is heterosexual. The overwhelming feeling is that our American culture is heterosexual, and we're a subculture of that. We're not heterosexual, but we live within this culture; so we're still Americans, we just have one very important difference. You've talked about gay marriages and adoption. A lot of times relationships among male homosexuals are not monogamous ... TIIE CO How To Cran Guaranteed Lowe 5' X 10' ] It's amazing how much stuff you can c for the summer.

It's really hard to say : what is a typical gay relationship. We live in a culture that says women want to get married, straight ' or gay. Women want to get married and settle down. Women arc 1 not "hot to trot." Men are ruled by ( their hormones. These are just a few of the things we hear all the time. 1 I think those are really deeply ( socialized. So think ? you get two 1 people together who don't really understand the amount of choices < they have in their own personal J behavior, who still feel subconsciously controlled by those. If you've got two guys together 1 who've been raised to believe that men cannot form long-term communicative relationships, they won't. If you've got two women J together who think they are supposed to get married, they marry. Which is true. A lot of women have been raised to think sex is something that is only for marriage, so lesbians "gel married." We have a year or two-year or four?year relationships based on sexual attraction. But I wouldn't say that's because we're gay. It's because we live in a world that is not very supportive of other options of behavior: I know more long term ? longer than 10?year gay couples NNELLS \ ** ^jgtj '^' , *'^2l *iNm< ^ ~\s i For Summer :st Prices In Town! ^ow $19* :ram into one Public Storage rental space ng how little you'll pay.

Q: Do you know the ones who ire doing this, the ones who are tearing you up, are not abiding by he true laws of the Bible like they ire supposed to, even if they call hemselves "Christian?" A: Oh, but there arc so many inerpretations of Christianity. I lon't care whether other Christians trc wrong. They think they're Christian, and they're right, and itill the Baptist majority in the south is highly homophobic. The "undamcnialisls arc openly homophobic, also openly biased and ra;ist in my opinion. Q: Which is what? A: If a religion is supported by some kind of bigotry, perhaps the religion is not based on as much love and understanding as they ;>nce thought they were. I see lovers kept apart from each other. I ice children taken away from parents. I sec people beaten up by 'born a gains or by whatever radi;al Islamic factions, which are lighly homophobic. Orthodox lews are highly homophobic. The undamcnialist Baptist groups, Mormons, the Roman Catholic Church ? I see all these religions Jestroying people's lives, invading heir privacy. ** ^ - 4 Cat J /v i H|D /?? Bl - .
