Martha O'Connell, a member of Staff for Individual Rights. Photos by Marcio J. Sanchez Daily staff photographer In a interview after the Student Union forum, O'Connell said she was opposed to Watson for his earlier remarks in not recognizing gay or lesbian families, unless there are children involved. Watson, in a interview at his hotel room Monday, said he did not mean to insult anyone and that O'Connell did not indicate to him the remarks had been objectionable. In his comments at a morning meeting. Watson said that employee benefits are primarily to take "care of chil- dren. That should be the priority in awarding benefits to workers." "His definition of families is insulting to gays and les- bians," O'Connell said.

He cited a survey at UC-San Diego, which indicated targeting the needs of women regarding the lack of safety on campus and sexual harassment. The issues were addressed, including threats being male against females. "We made it clear it was not an acceptable form of behavior on campus," he said. Besides his views on spousal rights, Watson was also questioned Monday repeatedly about ROTC, which has become an issue at SJSU became the group discriminates
