Gay youth resource web site Date: Sat, 05 Aug 2000 09:10:49 -0700 From: Dena Laney Subject: GLBT Youth Resource Hi there, I would like to request that you possibly share the following information with interested people : I have just created an outreach website for GLBT Youth/High School and College Students for support, school information, and to access student club information. The students can interact with eachother using messageboards, chats, and viewing other members biographies. This is a completely FREE service and was created to help teens and college students deal with coming out issues and networking with others like them. Please take a moment to review our website. http://www.outminds.com - Any feedback you have is greatly appreciated. We are still getting started and have actually only been live on the web for a week now. Thank You for your time, Dena Laney =============================================================================== 3.

OR: State considers anti-gay measure Reply-To: listserver@channelq.com Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2000 17:38:58 -0700 From: "Channel Q" To: lgbt-politics@egroups.com, queerpolitics@abacus.oxy.edu Subject: Oregon Considering Anti-Gay Measure Associated Press, August 4, 2000 Oregon Considering Anti-Gay Measure By BRAD CAIN SALEM, Ore. (AP) - Oregon is known as a progressive state. It adopted the nation's first bottle deposit law and the first law allowing doctor-assisted suicide. It declared its spectacular Pacific coastline the property of all Oregonians. So it might seem peculiar that in November, Oregonians are going to vote on a proposed law that critics say targets the state's gay community.
