\ Portla n d , Orego n Celebrate Lesbian and Gay Pride June 22, PSU parkblocks 19 9 1 Generations of pride e have met lesbian and gay history, and it is US!” (with apologies to Pogo.) Our community consists of more than the leaders out in front of the parade or representing us in the legislature or in the service organizations that keep us strong. We are also the butchers, the bakers, the candlestick makers of Northwest Portland, Hawthorne, and all of the other neighborhoods in the city. Rich, poor, and every bank statement level in between, lawyers, doctors, artists, truck drivers, gardeners, we are a community rich in diversity. We are the reason the leaders lead and the supporters support, we are the reason the Frontrunners run, PGMC and PLC sing, Just Out comes out, CAP supports, Lavender Winds sails kites, the Furies play softball, the bowling league sponsors the Rose Bowl Classic, and Queer Nation is queer. Anndee Hpchman presents a sampler of interviews taken from this rainbow community. She has talked with eight people ranging in age from 18 to 62, people who have seen it all, people who are the future of gay and lesbian pride, the people who make the struggle worthwhile. In short, folks, it’s us. We are the pride. (See page 7) See Ij)n Mabon. See Lon spread lies about us. Stop Lon Mabon. Come ou t get active! ,
