Letters to th e Editor
Gay and straight have much in common
To the Editor:
In early 1991 Lon Mabon
stated, “ If you want public en
dorsem ent o f homosexual
behavior, be prepared for public
debate and political resistance.”
(“ Oregonian" 4/31/91, p. B5).
It was precisely because of these
debates and OCA's mean-spirited
resistance that Measure 9 was
soundly defeated.
Most importantly, Oregonians
began to put a face on homosex
uals. Many gay and lesbians
courageously risked the loss of
their families, their jobs, and their
friends in coming out of the
closet. To our surprise we
discovered that they were our
sons and daughters, aunts and
uncles, nieces and nephews, our
next door neighbors, our col
leagues at work, our community
leaders, and often, our friends.
They were not the sick perverts
and pedophiles that the OCA con
tinually painted them to be.
From the very beginning the
OCA’s plan to pass measure 9
was to be accomplished by the
dehumanizing of gay people.
Suzanne Pharr, a great civil rights
activist, said it best: "Discrimina
tion is made possible through the
devauation of people so that by
the time you come to harm them,
you don’t think you're harming
a real human being. You think
you’re harming someone who
doesn’t count.”
We have come to the realiza
tion that gay and straight people
have far more in common than
the few differences between
them. Let us all remember this
well when the OCA comes
around with another one of their
anti-gay petitions to again divide
and polarize Oregon with more
fear and mischaracterization of
gay people.

Demand accountability
To the Editor:
The federal debt is the biggest
threat facing the country today.
Did you know that if you had
spent $580 every second since the
signing of the Constitution in
1776 that you would have ac
cumulated a four trillion dollar
debt today?
Of course it did not happen that
way. It took Congress 200 years
to accumulate a one trillion dollar
debt and the incumbents another
10 years to add three trillion; by
1996, our debt will total more
than the entire industrial output
of the United States. In every day
term s that means that the
equivalent of 61 cents of every
dollar each of us pays in income
taxes goes to pay off just the in
terest on the debt. Interest on the
debt is larger than social securi
ty or the combined budgets for
the departments of agriculture,
education, energy, housing and
urban development, interior,
justice, labor, state, transporta
tion and veterans' affairs.
And. to rub more salt in the
wound. Congress, before the ad
journment to come home and
campaign for re-election, gave
themselves a cost-of-living-
adjustment. A $4.000 dollar pay
increase from $129,500 to
$133,644 effective January 1,
1993. They are not calling it a
raise but instead “ compensation
for buying power eroded by in
flation.” Inflation that they
themselves have created.
We’re being hurt, and it is up
to us, as citizens, to sound off on
our discontent. Everyone should
write his or her elected officials
and demand action and
accountability.
Sincerely,
(s) Chuck Monpas
