A new grassroots coalition is being
formed in Portland to address lesbian/
gay rights and discrimination based
on sexual orientation in the state of
Oregon. According to Dan Stutesman,
Director of American Friends Service
Committee G ay/Lesbian Program in Port
land, and one of the founders of the new
group, concerned persons from all walks
of life are both needed and welcome to
help educate Oregonians on a grassroots
level on the truth about being gay, and
why all persons should support gay rights
regardless of their own personal lifestyle or
belief.
Stutesman says that some of the specific
actions the new organization plans to un
dertake could include leafleting, gather
ing signatures, door-to-door canvassing,
media events, and protest marches. "But,"

much be whatever we make it. We're so
new, we still haven't picked out a name. If
you've got ideas and energy, you're just
the kind of person we want."
