Travel Arrangem ents Tailored to Your Needs C lv h t ell, I have been pondering this idea, and I think that if they are doing this to keep the show interesting to keep the rat ings up, then they should have a baby and it turns out to be an alien baby so we can bring back Mork, and they can call it Mork & Will & Grace. Then may be it will be enough for me to start watch ing it for the first time. However it turns out, no way am I giving up my cable television!!! W least those people who choose to watch the show. However, 1 suspect those who do watch Will & Grace are the “choir” that really does not need ‘preaching to.” The peo ple who would benefit most from witnessing this sort of scenario are those who never would tune in to the show in the first place. Educa tion is a slow process, especially when dealing with a class that chooses not to be educated. 6 5 4 7 S W Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy Portland, Oregon 9 7 2 2 5 (Raleigh West Shopping Center) Lisa Costello 503-372-3129 Personal VW Consultant v d u b lis a @ hotmail.com Herzog-Meier 503-292-0675 fax 503-292-9386 1-888-317-8886 dint@worldaeceflts.eom nfWW.mforldacc6nts.com H enriette B eigh C hris S chlegel Portland Portland ill and Grace with a baby— I don’t think that is a step in a positive direction at all. There are too many people who think that being gay is a choice and that we just can flick a switch and— poooph!— we are straight. If Will and Grace have a child then that only will reinforce that opinion and ignorance. It’s bad enough that people refer to being gay and lesbian as a “sexual preference." Last time I checked I don’t recall it being a preference. I just think their time could be better spent if they did an episode on them traveling away from New York City and experiencing discrimination and stupidity and how they respond to it so all of America can see the threat and worry that is in the back of every gay and lesbian person’s mind. ’m not really sure if it will set us back. But it does W G rant C rymes Portland I f Will and Grace wish to have a baby then that's what they should do. I do believe, if handled tastefully, it will serve to open peqple’s minds—at who experienced homophobic attitudes and behavior on the Jesuit campus f“Dancing to a Different Drummer,” May 171.
