By letting students know that there are people who have gone through similar situations, the group helps students through the difficult coming out process. Coming out, however, does not just happen in one day. It is a gradual process that takes time. J u? ^j?:? vy V^UULUCl UWU1UCO UiC UCgllllillig Ui IUO ttUIUlLtance as starting with himself. After coming out to himself, he gathered the courage to tell family and friends. "I came out first to a friend here that I could trust. In the summer I came out to my mom and sister. I was anxious when I was telling them, but they're really supportive. It makes me fell a lot better with myself and closer to the people who know. Being gay has a lot to do with who I am," he said. He said that although the revelation has made him happier, he still faces anxiety with coming out to the rest of his family and the challenge of defining his views of relationships and morality. Many people are like O'Conner in this gradual process. They choose to "come out" to friends first, and find their niche in a community which is accepting of them, before they tell their families. Fear of rejection, self-hatred and religious reasons are just some of the barriers they must break through before telling friends and family. Associate English Professor Ed Madden waited several years to "come out" to his family. Raised with a strict religious upbringing, he'd always been aware that he was in some way "different" than the children around him, but at first, could not identify this "difference" with any other figure in his culture.

He served as president of his College Republicans and wrote anti-gay articles for the paper. This, he attributes to projecting the hate and denial onto others, instead of dealing with himself. When he did admit his identity to himself and "came out" to friends, some were supportive, and others wrote him letters, "telling me to go to hell." "Coming out" to his parents only happened when he felt comfortable with himself and had come to terms with his identity in a spiritual light. He didn't want them to find out from "mean-spirited gossip." "To come out to your family is a real act of love," he said. "When you finally tell them, you are making them more a part of your life. You have to police everything when you are closeted (because of fear of family discovery), and are cutting them off from more and more. The sad thing is that some families respond with Parking Lot.

He emphasized that homosexuals grow up with | the same stereotypes and cliches portraying homo| sexuals that straight people do. People wonder (in the case of gay men in particular) if it is a choice, if if s resultant of child abuse, or the "absent father/smothering mother theory." Madden points out that these are stereotypes and only lead to more ignorance and self-hatred for homosexuals. National Coming Out Day is a time when people, no matter what their sexual orientation, should ask honest questions and give honest answers. For those students who do want to talk to some? one about their questions, or perhaps want to speak | to a professional about their sexual orientation, they | should talk to someone they trust like a counselor, in j eluding one of a religious nature. Dr. Roger Bowersock, director of the Counseling and Human Development Center says the college enL vironment lends itself to students exploring their idenl tity. "The people here are professional," Bowersock said, i As of a student confused of their sexual orientation, he said, "we don't have any set prescription to what , you tell those kind of people. We listen to them, but it doesn't mean we agree with them. We don't put peo[ pie down." It is an individual and unique process, as persons admit their identity. The question of "to tell" or "not ; to tell" is an ongoing one that occurs when meeting new people. The answer to this "coming out," is aided i by, "a little more acceptance" (in the mainstream, as O'Conner describes it). "It's something I'm proud of. It helps me under; stand how I relate to other people and how society views me," O'Conner said. "If s not something I want to force down someone's throat. But in every other respect of my life Fm honest with myself and others.
