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.

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

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.
We realize our task is to continue working
toward acceptance of all students at our
school. We must adhere to an absolute
zero-tolerance policy toward any kind of
discrimination.
David Wright is an inspiration to us! Again,
thank you for sharing his experience.

If you want to have kids from sperm donors,
that is your choice. But why not adopt a kid?
There are plenty of those out there already who
need a good home.

That is why we are asking community members
for additional contributions; for donations of
more than $20, we will send you a compilation
booklet that includes the text of all the perfor
mances plus pictures from the event— perfect
for those who saw the show as well as those
who couldn’t.
Please send your check or money order to
Emi Koyama, P.O. Box 40570, Portland, OR

will be donated to the two nonprofits we were
supposed to benefit in the first place: Survivor

To the E ditor :
hank you for your support of Intercourse:
A Sex and Gender Spoken Word Recipe for
Revolution, the event I produced May 25.
Although it was hugely successful in bringing
together communities and sharing our stories,
it did not bring in as much revenue as we had
hoped for.
To be more precise, we lost about $150.
