 Gay Liberation Front [London]: Manifesto
To you, our gay sisters and brothers, we say that you are oppressed; we intend to show you examples of the hatred and fear with which straight society relegates us to the position and treatment of sub-humans, and to explain their basis.
But gay men don't need to oppress women in order to fulfill their own psycho-sexual needs, and gay women don't have to relate sexually to the male oppressor, so that at this moment in time, the freest and most equal relationships are most likely to be between homosexuals.
Gay women, like straight men, are rather less into the compulsive search for youth, perhaps because part of their rebellion has been the rejection of themselves as sex objects-like men they see themselves as people; as subjects rather than objects.

 [No title]
(I suggest fl gays and lesbians attend such churches, and whenever a preacher begins to denounce homosexuality, to shout her down as an act of political dissent.) When we confront homophobia, we are confronting, mainly, an aspect of machismo: violence against the meek, and those perceived to be meek.

Finally, write to the Winans' record company, and tell them that the company is serving as a megaphone for a cynical act of profiteering on the backs of gay people, their families and friends.

 L.A. Catholic: Mahony's openly 'gay' deacon designs new website for Archdiocese
Here one finds support groups for "gays and lesbians" as well as for the parents of "gays and lesbians." In addition, at this link are listed those parishes which are considered "welcoming," that is, (although the term is not used) "gay friendly."
The "gay and lesbian" page states that it was the Cardinal himself who founded the Archdiocese's unique and groundbreaking "Ministry to Lesbian and Gay Catholics." It is curious, however, that not a word is said about Father Peter Liuzzi, O. Carm.
He is the reportedly 'gay' priest who was the face of Mahony's "outreach" to homosexuals until the "ministry" folded in 2002 due ostensibly to budget cuts.
