Subject: Young lesbigaytrans' group request support From: ales@wamani.apc.org (Alejandra Sarda) Date: Sat, 23 Dec 95 18:00:44 ARG GRUPO DE JOVENES CONSTRUYENDO OTRAS SEXUALIDADES (YOUNG PEOPLE BUILDING OTHER SEXUALITIES' GROUP) It has been recently created in Buenos Aires by 2 lesbians and 4 gay men. We are all between the ages of 17 and 21. Under Argentinean laws, it is illegal for us to participate in any lesbian/gay group. Our parents and the State have every right on us: they can (and they do) invade our privacy, destroy our property, force us to undergo medical/psyquiatric treatment, separate us from our lovers/friends, isolate us ... with all the blessing from the law. Our group is open to any lesbian, gay or transgendered person under 21. We meet in public places and no adults are allowed in our meetings, as security measures. We need every and any type of material: books, articles, newsletters, etc. We would also like to receive information about other groups of young lesbians/gays/transgendered people: how they are working, which troubles they face, which victories they are proud of. As we are "illegal" we do not have an address yet. "Escrita en el cuerpo" has kindly volunteer to share their communication facilities with us. Please write to us (in English, French, Portuguese or Spanish).
