Wednesday's rally will lie an opportunity for
non e loseteei guvs and lesbians to show those not

said "An option to being in the closet is being
out. and not just being out but lining proud of it."
she said
"It's easy to sta\ hidden and not ree eive any

is "a very celebratory time." Sharp said
Many gays and lesbians reach a point where
( oncealing their sexuality becomes too great a
burden. Sharp said "When it gets to be too hard
to stay in the closet, then it's time to come out
she said
However, she cautioned, "1 would always
listen to intuition about it II I felt unsafe about it.
I wouldn’t come out." she said.
Sharp also said that the extent to which
members of the gay and lesbian community are
open about their sexuality varied widely Those
who .ire most visible tend to receive more harass
ment and abuse, she said
"There's a lot of support in the gay and tesbi
an community for those who are out (of the clos

visible consequently may be less supportive.
Tadd Tobias, outreach director for Willam
ette AIDS Council, said that the council is co
sponsoring local Coming Out Day activities in an
effort to protect those who may be at risk of con
tracting AIDS.
Self-acceptance of a gay identity is a nei essi
tv for feeling worthy of protection. Tobias said.
"If you want to live a healthy life, you have
to protect yourself and protect others," he said
To do this, "you have to feel okay about your
self. '' he said
This form of behavior modification can keep
AIDS from taxing Eugene's health care systems
the way the disease has in larger cities. Tobias
said
The Willamette AIDS Council is selling
shirts, posters and sti< kers as a fundraising effort
both lor the council and the non-profit National
Coming Out Day foundation
Coming Out Day is a time tor taking a lirsl
step or a next step toward feeling better about lie
mg gay or lesbian, Tobias said
"If you're not gay or lesbian, support some
one wlio is." he said "We're talking about bash
human rights, not just sexual preference."
