International gay and
lesbian radio show
gets grants
director Scott Lively used only reasonable force
in ejecting her from the meeting.
The court awarded Stauffer $21,197 for eco
nomic losses and pain and suffering, plus $ 10,500
in punitive damages.
This Way Out, the only internationally syndi Community center
cated sexual minority radio program, has been
awarded $10,000 in grants to fund the show’s
programming expenses for the next few months.
The David Geffcn Foundation, based in Los
Angeles, has approved an award of $5,000 to the
show. The grant matches an earlier grant offered
by the New York-based Paul Rapoport Founda
tion.
The half-hour show airs on KBOOon Wednes
day afternoons and on more than 80 other stations
in six countries. It presents news affecting the
queer community, with entertainment and inter
views from gay and lesbian artists.
Volunteers have produced the show since it
first aired six years ago. Currently, organizers arc
trying to secure long-term grants to rent office
space and establish paid staff positions.
The show has won awards from the National
Federation of Community Broadcasters, the Gay
and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and the
Gay and Lesbian Press Association.

plans go forward
After more than two years of planning and
thought, organizers of a Lesbian, Gay and Bi
sexual Community Center are moving ahead to
the next stages of development.
Writing articles of incorporation and by-laws,
forming task-specific committees and gaining
non-profit status arc the next goals of the center
organizers. A rented or donated location still has
to be established.
Plans for a center began after the No on 9
campaign, when a group of people saw a need for
a place for people to meet, pool resources, net
work and find mutual support. A task force was
developed and conducted a survey of sexual mi
nority organizations around the state to assess
needs of the community.
From survey results, the task force wrote a
mission statement. It states that the primary pur
pose of the center “is to serve as a hub connecting
and housing organizations which provide support
services and resources, educational and social
programs, and community building endeavors to
foster the development and empowerment of the
sexual minority population of Oregon and to
promote the quality of life for individuals of that
community."
Organizers emphasize that the center is to be
owned by the community and not by any one
group of persons.
To help organizers in the next stages of devel
oping the center, call (503) 295-9732.
