Aside from being one of best (and most touching) staged media events this campus has ever seen, the fact that 15 gay and lesbian men 1 and women could stand proudly in the pit carrying only the message of \ "look at me, I'm gay" and not be harassed or shouted down is a wel­ come sight. Those who stood in the pit still have many larger fights and struggles ahead of them, both personal and professional, but it should be noted that their mere presence that day was a victory in itself. Whether or not you are ready to accept homosexuality, you should understand there are a variety of everyday rights gay and lesbian peo­ ple are denied. Today, many basic rights owned and taken for granted _by the het­ erosexual population like an official marriage, the right to raise chil­ dren or even as mundane as joint coverage on a spouse's health insur­ ance may never be available to those 15 people who stood in the pit.

When the buzzer sounds for half­ time during men's and women's bas­ ketball games, both teams run off the court while another hustles on. The Central dance team is made up of eight women who perform their moves during most home games. The experience of the dancers ranges from one to six years. "I've been dancing for about six years," sophomore Schlyce Martinez said. "This seems to be where I always end up." Freshman Kimberly Larson decided to throw in her porn-porns and give dancing a try. "I've always liked the dance part more," Larson said. "I was a cheer­ leader in high school, so I thought I'd try out for the dance team instead." What may look easy takes hours of practice, accompanied by sore muscles and bruised knees. "So far I've sprained my ankle, torn ligaments, received numerous bruises and I dislocated my knee once," Martinez said. "Dancing is a sport and we get injuries just like any athlete."
