Internal Bulletin
Issue #1- 1996
Indonesian Lesbian and Gay Network
Published by: GAYa Nusantara

INTRODUCTION
	In keeping with the decision made at the Indonesian Lesbian 
and Gay Congress II, held December 29-31 1995 in Lembang, 
Bandung, West Java, we introduce this first issue of the Internal Bulletin,
which 
we have agreed will act as a means of communication between the 
active organizations as well as individual correspondents of the 
Indonesian Lesbian and Gay Network. This bulletin will be 
published once every two weeks. 
	We hope that this medium will build cohesiveness and 
strength within our network.

NETWORK-RELATED NEWS
	1. A lesbian activist in Yogyakarta, Betsy, has declared that 
she will remain in the network. Her address, however, 
has changed, and is now:
	c/o Lentera PKBI-DIY, Jln. Tentara Rakyat
      	       Mataram Gg. Kapas JT I/705, Yogyakarta 55231
	2. The Christian group League for Peaceful Life of Surabaya has planned a 
prayer meeting on the 26th of January 1996, to take place at Henny's 
Beauty Salon on Jl. Makam Peneleh 82, at 7:00 p.m..
	3. Kimeta Society of Toronto, Canada, is offering small grants for lesbian
and gay groups in developing countries. For more 
information, please contact them directly at: 291 Ontario St, Apt 5,
Toronto, Ontario, Canada H5A 2V8.
	4. The Second Congress at Lembang, Bandung, West Java, from 
December 29-31 1995 was a resounding success. Proceedings and 
resolutions of the Congress can be read in GAYa Nusantara #43 and #44.
	5. Based upon the decision made at the Second Congress, it 
has been determined that the Lesbian and Gay Network will be 
coordinated at the national level by the National Coordinating 
Body, namely GAYa Nusantara, and at the regional level by 
Regional Coordinating Bodies, which include: Sumatra and the 
Jakarta region (coordinated by IPOOS); West Java (coordinated by 
GAYa PRIAngan); Central Java and the Yogyakarta region 
(coordinated by IGS); East Java and Kalimantan (coordinated by 
GAYa Nusantara); Bali, NTB, NTT, and East Timor (coordinated 
by Gaya Dewata); Sulawesi, Maluku, and Irian Jaya (coordinated 
by Gaya Celebes). GAYa Nusantara, in the capacity of National 
Coordinating Body, will select several of its activists as liasions in 
the aforementioned regions, as follows: Sumatra and the Jakarta 
region (Adi Wahono); West Java (Agus Ramli); Central Java and 
the Yogyakarta region (Iyan); East Java and Kalimantan (Vero dan 
Febby); Bali, NTB, NTT, and East Timor (Aditya dan Charles); 
Sulawesi, Maluku, and Irian Jaya (Budi). For the near future each of 
these representatives will begin networking with organizations and 
individual activists which already exist. The existence of these 
liasions is for the needs of GAYa Nusantara itselfJand is not meant 
to replace the function of the Regional Coordinating Bodies.

PUBLISHING
	It is estimated that GN #43 will be published in the middle of 
February 1996.

PUBLIC RELATIONS
	GAYa Nusantara (in this case Dede Oetomo) has been 
invited for a discussion of homosexuality in society and law at the 
Faculty of Law, Airlangga University, on January 6, 1996.
