The former director, Eric Moore, Lawrence sophomore, announced his resignation Wednesday. Moore, who recently tested HIV- positive, said his decision was based on health concerns. Manning, Lawrence graduate student, said he would serve as direc- tor until April 20, when the group will elect next year's officers. In a news release, the group commended Moore for his contribu- tions to the University but said that he was no longer associated with the organization. In the release, members of LesBiGayS OK said they did not know about Moore's 1990 conviction for aggravated indecent solicitation of a child until late Tuesday night. "We firmly believe that any form of sexual molestation is absolutely wrong, particularly when it involves children," the release said. However, we unequivocally decry any and all attempts to stereotype and scapegoat members of our organization as well as the lesbian, bisexual and gay community based on the actions of any one individual. Stereotyping leads to homophobia and violence."
