children now grown.

Gay Republicans seek
Oregon members
Republicans for Individual Freedoms, an or
ganization of gay Republicans, is planning to start
a chapter in Oregon.
The group has more than 200 members nation
wide, with about a dozen living in Oregon. Ac
cording to President Gary Baslian, the chapters
have three main areas of responsibility: to speak
out when Republicans make homophobic remarks,
to hold Democrats accountable for campaign
promises to the gay and lesbian community and to
insist that lesbian and gay leaders represent all
community members, not just the Democratic
platform.
“On several occasions, we have been able to
communicate with Republican officials and staff
members who do not usually talk with gay groups,”
said a press release from the group. “Our being
Republican opens many doors that are usually
closed to most other gay groups.”
To become a member or to help start a chapter,
contact the national headquarters: Republicans,
P.O. Box 13162, Atlanta, GA 30324.
KROO airs documentary
on the Religious Right
In Jesus’ Name: The Politics of Bigotry, a five-
part radio documentary to air on KBOO 90.7-

agenda of the Religious Right.
The producer, Barbara Bernstein, interviews
the leadership of right-wing groups, such as the
Oregon Citizens
Alliance and the
group that
pushed Amend
ment 2 in Colo
rado, to exam
ine the motiva
tion behind their
anti-gay poli
tics. She ex
plores the theo
logical and ideo
logical under
pinnings of the
Barbara Bernstein
right-wing, and
how the belief
that they arc doing God’s work influences their
anti-gay politics.

culture of the ’70s and Country Women. Her news
coverage of Measure 9 and Amendment 2 was
featured regularly on Pacifica National News.
