"There's more of a need for us to be there for that

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.

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 prayed

WHAT TO DO
the Parents and Friends of Lesbians and
Gays (PFLAG) offers the following advice,
"What to do if a friend 'comes out' to you":
I Let them know it doesn't make them any
different than the person you knew and cared
1 about before the announcement.
Toil them that this will not affect or change
your friendship.
I Offer your support.

difficulties with other people not reacting well
to the announcement.
I* Help educate other family and friends with
correct information.
his feelings would go away from junior high through
his time at seminary school, and even became engaged
in the hopes of "changing."
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

-i stereotypes which don't hold true for most gay men."
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. If s
i something I was born with."
