Panelists discuss
myths, harassment
By HMtherto Mime*
t*r Ow" ^‘V Cm***#
Representative* of the Lesbian.
Gey and Bisexual Alliance joined
homosexual community mem
bers Tuesday for a panel discus
sion about stereotypes and
harassment
Jackie Baker, coordinator of
educational and support services
for the Office of the Dean of Stu
dents. mediated the question-nnd
anssver session, which was
attended by more than 40 people.
"There are a great many myths
and stereotypes (about homosex
uals). and we want people to
find out that there are real live
human beings behind the stereo
types," Balzer said. "We want to
move 'queer' from a concept to
real people."
Panelists said they try to
change stereotypes by being very
conspicuous as homosexuals
and talking openly about their
sexuality.
"We won't go back in the clos
et for anybody," said panel mem
ber George l.ink, who is one of the
first openly gay deacons at
Eugene's Central Presbyterian
Church.
Panel members also said pub
lic discussion of homosexuality
is one of the first steps in Iwttling
stereotypes.
The panel approved of the syn
dicated comic strip "For Better
or For Worse.” whose cuirent sto
ry line involves a gay teen-ager
examining Ins sexuality. Panelists
said the comic strip may inspire
dialogue between readers who
would not usually discuss homo
sexuality with one another.
"This is the first time that this
has happened in a nationally syn
dicated comic strip that I know
of." said Mark Schwier, a com
munity member."I think it's great
that people are seeing this in the
paper os a normal process. I
applaud (comic artist) Lynn John
ston and the papers that run the
strip."
Panel members said they some
times encounter harassment.
"I picked up the phone one
night, and some guy yelled 'les
bian' at me. so I yelled 'breeder'
back at him." said Jodi Mai. a co
organizer on the panel. “It's
annoying to have to deal with."
It is important to report harass
ment to the Eugene police depart
ment and the Office of Public
Safety, said Spencer de Mille, a
University student.
"Harassment is such a problem
because people don't report it,
and then no one has the statistics
to say that it is a problem," he
said.
Many people use the Bible to
justify harassing homosexuals.
Link said.
"I'm not going to sit here and
answer to every part of the Bible
that has to do with sexuality,”
Link said. “It's a matter of inter
pretation. If you want to look
through the Bible, you can justi
fy just about anything.”
The panel met as part of the
LGBA's Pride Week, an annual
event aimed at giving people a
c hance to learn about the homo
sexual community.
