By Bill Menuiier If there ever was a time for you to get involved in the legislative process, it is now! In Iwo weeks, the Wisconsin Assembly will vote on a Gay Rights Bill, AB 70. This bill would add sexual pre- ference to Wisconsin s anti-discrimi- nation laws, making it illegal for you to be discriminated against in employ- ment, housing. public accomodations. credit ratings and any area covered by those laws. Sponsors say this bill has a good chance to pass, but only if you help. We currently have no state or na- tional protection. The Milwaukee Hu- man Rights ordinance only covers em- ployment by the City of Milwaukee. The courts have thrown out discrimi- nation suits filed by Gays and Lesbians because we are not covered by any law. With the Moral Majority riding high in Washington there is no chance for help from Congress. This means equal protection will have to come from our State. Last spring the Consenting Adults Bill lost by only one vote. Don t let that hap- pen again. YOU can help by calling and/or writing your state repre- sentative, and it only takes a few minutes. If you don t know who your repre- sentative is just call the Legislative Hotline toll free at 1.800-362-9696. They will tell you who represents you, how to reach him/her and if you wish to give your number to your repre- sentative so she/he can return your call, You don t have to give your name or tell anyone you are Gay. You do have to calf or write if we are to get this bill passed.

To the Editor:
Dear Sir: Loved the last copy of "OUR HORIZONS"! Hang tight! Allan
Dear Staff: Congratulations upon the publica- tion of your first issue this past month. It is a we/come addition to the building toward a Gay Community here in Mil- waukee.

NEWS FROM CPU An Advisory questionnaire is being sent to current G.P.U. members, donors and friends requesting their advice as to which of the many pre- vious activities of G_P.U. should be eliminated and which few should be retained and focused upon. Research is being conducted as to the exact status and prospects for the so called Family Protection Act now in the U.S. Senate and House of Repre- sentatives.

Page GAY MAKING MEDICINE By Roger Gremminger, M.D. Hello again_ I would now like to cover each part of the body which can be infected with gonorrhea. Each area DREAMS really does have differences enough to require this type of approach. I would like to start with oral infections, Oral gonorrhea can be contracted by either men or women_ The main way of SMILE. acquiring an oral infection is fallatio (sucking penis). Therefore, gay men and straight women are at risk. Straight men have a small risk of getting an oral infection from cunnilingus (licking female genitalia). Lesbians, however, are the least likely to gel it. One study showed that among patients with gonorrhea, 20,9% of gay men, 10 3% of O women, and 12% of heterosexual men had oral infections,
Little is known of the incubation time because most cases have no symptoms. I repeal, most oral gonor- rhea infections have no symptoms. Sore throat is not a sign of gonorrhea. One study shows that gay men with sore throat had an oral gonorrhea infection rate of 12.4%, whereas gay men without sore throat had an oral gonorrhea infection rate of 11_3% — not a significant difference_
The first reported case of sympto- matic oral gonorrhea was reported by Culler in 182.8. He described "a 21- year-old woman who, under the influ- ence of alcohol, had yielded to the request of a sailor. The man had been suffering from gonorrhea and not wanting to infect her, had urged her to engage in orogenital contact, thus BC causing her to develop siornatitis_-1 If the infection does develop symp- toms, the full blown course is as fol- lows. "About two days after orogenital Club BATlis contact, the oral mucosa (inside of mouth) became red and swollen, and irregular. superficial whitish-gray ulcers soon developed. They pro- duced a yellow, fetid, purulent (foul, MilwAukEE pus) discharge. The mouth was initially dry, and the saliva was viscous (thick); hypersalivation (excessive saliva) developed later. Recovery usually fol- lowed after seven to ten days." Most (Continued on Page 10)
