you feel occurred during 2 0 0 2 that will have the
most significant impact on the sexual minorities community—for better or worse?
ertainly the most significant event in
2002 for the sexual minorities community
(and in fact justice-seekers the world over) is
when we allowed corporate opportunists to
take over all three branches of our govern
ment. There is virtually no limit to the erosion
of social justice this may cause for years and
possibly decades to come.
This was a very dark year. 1 struggle to main
tain any hope for any kind of liberty and justice
in the United States, let alone for sexual
minorities.

stay out of the rain and not catch cold, keeping
our immune systems in peak performance and
out of doctor offices.
But I guess I have one more reason: I love to
kiss. When 1 meet a man, 1 love the idea of kiss
ing him until his toes curl. And 1 have found
that cigarette breath hinders that connection
whether the man Scopes it or Listerines it.
So, explain it to me. Tell me why this com
munity does it.
If you have stopped, great! Tell me how, so 1
can share it. And if you want to, I can pass the
success stories on to you to try.
I understand many want to stop. I know it is
an addiction. Let’s encourage the end of this
addiction as a community.
I’m not the preacher today. 1 just want a health
ier community. Or, better yet, a smoke-free love.

To the E ditor .-
s a gay man living in Seattle, 1 find your
publication very supportive of gay and les
bian events in your city.
1 was surprised to find a full-page article writ
ten by Erin Sexton on the Portland Coronation,
which I attended myself [“Supreme Court,”
Nov. 1). As an active drag queen in my own city,
1 am very glad to find your publication takes
notice of your local drag events.
More power to Just Out! I am eager to grab
another issue the next time 1 am down in Port
land. Thank you for your support!
