Show THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN OPEN DOOR More Ciepitus ' T by John Boanerges . Now that several days have passed since "the weekend, rd Mke to pass on In a tew thoughts that have been dancing around my mind My parents and I went to the Vigil, we missed the picket line Sunday night For the most part I was quite Impressed by the quality of the program and I want to thank Women Aware, Rev: Bob Waldrop andCamile and her committee. I have ony one question and It Is this. With ak of the high quality talent both speaking and artistic, that we have here In Zion why Is It necessary to always be bringing In outside people? The best speakers were our own people and although Mr. Kunst had a lot to say fm not sure K was necessary to say It all then. We met to honour three men who had been attacked, two had died tor their being gay. I got a little cold and tired kstenlng to the state of things JnBorida. know that he meant well but I drink - It Is about time we In this community awoke to the ideas we will never be united enough to , have a successful boycott on our own without the straights of this world supporting us. We also have got to wake up to the tact there are somethings that are frankly inappropriate in some places. fk give you an example: It his taken five long years to bring my father out to anything (Le. the Vigfy He Is 68 years old and my mother Is 65k They may be progay, but Is It necessary to harangue about oral sex, tho evils of Spencer Kimball, and the Pope? Has ft ever occuned to any of us for the people In my parents generation sexual techniques are not considered suitable topics for a memorial service? Has anyone In. Gay Politics ever thought to praise Spencer Kimbak for the good tNngs he has done, which do outweigh the bad. And consider Pope Paid, at 90 years, has stm done more to bring the Catholic phBosophy of sexuality Into the twentieth century than any, leader In the past 100 years. . . getting at is this-- arent weak Anita Bryants? Dont we all lock at lust the negative about our opposers and then attack them personally rather than attack their ideas, their misconceptions? As long ss we tear down and destory we wit get nowhere, as long as we buTd up and Improve tNngs, do good such as the Blood Bank Drive, we will make friends and not enemies. WE will never be able to force people to accept us, and as my friend Joseph says "The law is worthless as long as it is only on the law books, we must write the law In people's hearts." Lets begin with ourselves and write the law id love and tolerance In our own hearts, then we can expect others to do the same.
