Justice
he Rodney King verdict
set cities and hearts on fire
and pushed racism to the
frontal lobes of everyone’s
consciousness.
M a y has shown us that
now more than ever, each
and every one of us counts.
Candidates in Oregon’s
primary used the polarity of
the Oregon Citizens Alliance
as a Maypole for lesbians
and gay men to rally around.
T h e city of Springfield
voted in a new OCA
sponsored intitiative. That
city will have 30 days to
implement it.
Corvallis voters beat the
OCA out of their city by a
2 to 1 margin.
Ju ne brings us a day of
celebration, a day to be
proud, a day to be counted.
This year, on June 20, the
Lesbian and Gay Pride
Parade and Rally is
a simple matter of justice.
