he Eugene School District is investigating
several complaints made by parents of stu
dents whose teacher told them she is a lesbian.
According to reports, Barb MacWilliam, a
sixth-grade science instructor at Cal Young
Middle School, revealed her sexual orientation
March 8.
That was followed by complaints from more
than two dozen parents, according to The Register-
Guard. The school district now is looking into
whether MacWilliam broke any school policies.
Paul Duchin, Eugene Education Association
president, said she came out in response to a
question from a student and subsequently told
other classes in order to get ahead of the rumor
mill and ensure an accurate explanation.
Ted Heid, the district’s director of labor rela
tions, told Just Out several formal complaints
have been received since the initial calls from
parents. “We are in the process of investigating
this,” he said, hut no details could he released
because this is a personnel matter.
The inquiry should be complete within a
week or two, Heid said. He was unsure whether
the information would he made public.
MacWilliam could not be reached for com
ment. The Lane County director of the Oregon
Citizens Alliance condemned her action.
“No teacher has any business discussing their
sexuality with their students,” Barry Dean
Williams said. “Homosexuality is immoral and
unnatural. It’s an unhealthy lifestyle, and they
should keep it to themselves.”

wo Oregon women have been tapped to
receive special recognition by the
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force during
the Honoring Our Allies reception May 14 in
W ashington, D.C.
T h e honor is bestowed on individuals who
have worked to make a difference for gay, les
bian, bisexual and transgender civil rights.
Past honorees include A1 G ore, C oretta Scott
King, Nelson Mandela, Janet Reno, Donna
Shalala, Jocelyn Elders and Richard G ep
hardt. T his year’s recipients include U .S. Rep.
M axine W aters, D -C alif., and Academ y

A m erican Beauty.
“I was totally stunned, actually,” Liz Kauf
man says about learning o f the recognition.
Sh e says she is usually behind the scenes and
is honored to he named in the company of
people like Mandela.
Thalia Zepatos says she also was shocked
when the task force called her with the news.
Many of the past recipients are her heroes.
Both Kaufman and Zepatos have been
involved in the state’s gay rights movement
since the 1980s. They got involved when the
Oregon Citizens Alliance started threatening
the basic rights of sexual minorities with a num
ber of ballot measures.
T h e friends have been involved with the
multiple defeats o f the O C A since 1988.
They also have traveled the country sharing
their experiences with organizers from other
states and have helped train gay political
candidates.
Although neither is a lesbian, seeing the
threat to sexual minorities was enough to
compel them to participate in the movement.
But Kaufman says the biggest reason she
entered the arena wasn’t so complicated:
W hen Zepatos asked her to get involved,
anti-gay groups were “n ot on my radar
screen.” Sh e says she couldn’t imagine why
