Small towns divided bv measure
SCAPPOOSE (AP) - Until
recently, homosexuality
simply was not an issue that
Crystal Coffey discussed
much.
In this little timber town
on tho Columbia Klvnr, people generally wop to
thomsolvos about what they do in tholr bedrooms.
"I thought we wore pretty much 'llvo and lot
live' out hero," said Coffey, who runs the Country
Cloth fabric shop
Llvo and lot live? Not these days in Oregon.
Whether they like it or not — and many do not
— Oregonians have boon shoved to the forefront
of tho national deflate between gay rights activists
and their fundamentalist Christian opponents.
A precedent-setting initiative called Ballot
Measure 9 on Oregon's Nov. 3 ballot would
amend the state constitution to declare homosex
uality "abnormal, wrong, unnatural and per
verse" and ensure that homosexuals could not be
considered a minority eligible for protection un
der anti-discrimination laws.
"This is very, very terrifying," said Suzanne
I’hnrr, a spokeswoman for the Port land-based No
on 9 campaign "This is tho first time In history
that a constitution would be amondod to take
away rights rather than to extend rights “
Measure 9 supporters see it differently.
"Here is a clear lino in the sand," said Lon
Mabon, head of the Oregon Citizens Alliance, the
initiative's sponsor. "Family values, a traditional
understanding of right and wrong — these things
are decaying. Measure 9 is an attempt to erect an
outer limit.
"Either we are going to view homosexuality as
a clean, normal thing that we'll teach our chil
dren, or we ll view it as we havo for 200 years —
as something wo want our children to avoid.'’
Measures to limit gay rights also are being con
sidered in Colorado, Portland. Maine, and Tam
pa, Fla.
But Oregon's initiative goes the furthest. State
and local governments would bo forbidden from
doing anything to ''promote, encourage or facili
tate homosexuality, pedophilia, sadism or maso
chism.” Public schools would bo required to "as
sist in setting a standard" In recognizing homo
sexuality as abnormal.
Such strong language is part of a growing con
servative backlash to gay rights victories nation
wide.
California Gov. Pete Wilson signed a bill Sept.
25 making California the seventh state to outlaw
job discrimination against homosexuals. On Sept.
30, County commissioners In Salt Lake City
banned discrimination based on sexual orienta
tion In hiring county workors or providing gov
ernment services.
Then there's Oregon.
Supporters say Measure 9 is intended only to
prevent homosexuals from gaining special rights
But opponents predict that openly gay teachers
would be fired, books mentioning homsexuality
banned from public libraries, and AIDS preven
tion programs hobbled.
"Wo believe the anti-gay campaign in Oregon is
a test case for homophobic initiatives around the
country," said Robert Bray, spokesman for the
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.
