Without disguise or apology, the government continues to argue that gays and lesbians are freaks whose presence would inevitably contaminate the purity of the service, destroy morale, eompromise security and e'rode the nation's defenses. It's an argument that even the military's own think tanks can't muster evidence to support. In one celebrated case, the Pentagon commissioned a study to prove that gays and lesbians are unaccept- able security risks because we're supposedly more subject to black- mail than straights. When the report instead showed that gays are no greater security risks than others and actually make excellent soldiers, the report was suppressed. It took action by openly gay Congressman Gerry Studds to finally force the release of the document. TUne after time, the military's policy of exclusion has been shown to be narrow-minded, archaic and mean-spirited, But believe it or not, things are getting worse. Until recently gays were discharged from the military only when they were accused of or admitted to actually engaging in homosexual conduct. Recently, however, the mere admission of a homosexual orientation has becpme enough to warrant dis- charge. This new policy has crea~ed what never existed in such cases before; a whole class of individuals excludable on the basis of exercising free speech. In essence, free speech is now denied even to celibate gays in the military; merely saying that one is gay or lesbian can lead to discharge, often with less than honorable status. This crass denial of basic rights Americans supposedly hold dear is starting to engender ever more cruel and unusual punish- ments. Recently, for example, not only was a top ROTC scholar- ship student denied a commission when he voluntarily revealed his gay orientation, it was also recommended that he be forced to pay back his scholarship. Some members of our community argue that the military, as a vehicle of oppression and violence, is not a proper place for gays and lesbians in the first' place, They maintain that we could allo- cate our efforts toward goals other than gaining the equal right to kill, maim and destroy innocent people. They have a point. But equality is not divisible, If gays and lesbians begin to pick and choose which rights we want and which we don't, we only feed into the concept that we aren't really equal after all. Even those of us who oppose the concept of the military, or o,f mar- riage, should think twice before allowing our opposition to be institutionally imposed on all of our brothers and sisters. Part of freedom is the freedom to make mistakes or take unpopular stands, Gays and lesbians should have those rights too, What we then do with those rights, and whether we choose to exercise them or not, should be a matter for each individual to decide, .. 4 O~WEEK March 28. 1990 Chapters across this country I suggest editing "Nigger were thrown out of their Pile' from the LP,especially Roman Catholic houses of because I had not yet heard .

  • LGBTQ Organizations Unite in Calling for Transformational Change in Policing
    LGBTQ Organizations Unite in Calling for Transformational Change in Policing Black people have been killed, Black people are dying at the hands of police, our country is in crisis, and we all need to take action. We cannot sit on the sidelines, we cannot acquiesce, and we cannot assign responsibility to others. We, as leaders in the LGBTQ movement, must rise up and call for structural change, for divestment of police resources and reinvestment in communities, and for long-term transformational change. Now is the time to take action, and this letter amplifies our strong calls for urgent and immediate action to be taken. Ongoing police brutality and systemic racism have plagued this nation for generations and have been captured on video and laid bare to the public in the United States and around the world. In 2019, more than 1,000 people were killed at the hands of the police.1 We mourn the unacceptable and untimely deaths of Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Philando Castile, Eric Garner, Stephon Clark, Freddie Gray, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Mya Hall, Tony McDade, Rayshard Brooks, and many more who were gone too soon. We have seen with increased frequency the shocking video footage of police brutality. Officers have been recorded instigating violence, screaming obscenities, dragging individuals out of cars, using unnecessary force, holding individuals at gunpoint, and kneeling on peoples’ necks to the desperate plea of “I can’t breathe.” These occurrences are stark reminders of a police system that needs structural changes, deconstruction, and transformation. No one should fear for their lives when they are pulled over by the police.

    Queer Texts and the Cold War: How Nationalism and Domesticity Shaped U.S. Lesbian and Gay Writing, 1945-1960 A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Minnesota and the Department of American Studies by Angela E. Galik In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2009 Dr. Edén Torres, Advisor Copyright © Angela E. Galik, June 2009. Acknowledgements The best part of completing this dissertation is that I get to reflect with joy and gratitude on the many people who have helped and supported me in my journey through graduate school, through the development and writing of the dissertation itself, and through all the surprises and transitions that Life came up with along the way. I offer my most sincere and humble thanks and appreciation to all of those people now, with the faith that if I accidentally forget to mention any names, my gratitude will nonetheless be felt by all who have contributed to my success. The faculty in American Studies and English (and a few other fields) with whom I have had the great privilege to work during my years at the University of Minnesota are truly beyond compare. I cannot imagine a more passionate, committed, brilliant group of professors. Most importantly and most remarkably, not only are the American Studies faculty accomplished and well-respected scholars, each and every one of them are also dedicated to graduate education and supportive of graduate students themselves. At every stage, I knew that I could trust my professors not only to challenge me, but also to help me to refine my thinking, polish my writing, expand my awareness, narrow my questions, own my arguments, and send my work out into the world.
