GAY PRIDE WEEK
We, the gay people of Washington, believe the time has
come to declare ourselves openly, clearly and uncompromisingly
as the proud and decent people we are. In America we are 20 million
strong. In Washington we are a spirited and talented community of
more than 80 thousand human beings. We are here to stay. We will
be heard.
Everywhere in Washington, we are subjected to varying
forms and degrees of dislikes and discrimination. In employment,
in schools, in the military, in government, in family and in social
life, the gay people of Washington are given a short measure of
human respect and understanding. This is wrong. We speak out now
to combat the ignorance and prejudice which surrounds us. We are here
to demand fair play.
Gay Pride is a celebration of our own community. We are a
wide variety of human profiles and backgrounds — women, men, blacks,
whites, leather people, drag people, conservatives, revolutionaries,
Aquarius children, devotees of establishment lifestyle — the gay
life contains worlds within worlds. We ourselves need to know one
another better, just as much as straight people need to come to know
us, for in unity and mutual understanding lie the future of
gay people.
Welcome to Gay Pride. Welcome to the gay community.
Welcome to the wonderful Rhinestone Review. Welcome to Now.
