THE NETWO~ APRIL, 1991 GAY CIVIL RIGHTS BILL Things are happening very quickly with LD 4-30 "An Act To Prevent Discrimination". By the time you get this copy of the newsletter the fate of the bill may already be decided, but it's possible that it may still be caught up in the legislative process. LD 4-30, if enacted, would protect the rights of gays and lesbians in the areas of employment, housing, public accommodations and credit. As of this writing, the bill passed by a slim margin in the state senate, then was sent on to the house of represenatives where it was defeated. It must now go back to the senate for another vote. If you haven't contacted your congress people asking them to support the bill, it is vital that they hear from you. Charlie Howard Weekend A small group of GLCN members are beginning to make plans for this year's celebration of the life of Charlie Howard. This is an important anniversary to our community; a time to show Bangor, Maine that not only do we exist here, but that we laugh, we love, we make music, and we're proud of who we are. It's a celebration of all of our lives. By the time you receive this issue of "The Networker" the fate of LD ~30,the Gay Civil Rights Bill, will probably be known. Whatever the outcome, we need to "come out" clearer and stronger than ever this year; to support and love ourselves in the face of ignorance,bigotry, violence, and hate. As in years past events will take place the first weekend in July. We need input from the lesbian and gay community as to what types of things you'd like to see. If you'd like to help or share ideas come to the Peace and Justice Center on April 17 at 7:30, or call 862-5907. JUST SAY YES!! To another Lesbian Pot Luck Brunch!! Yes! Yes! Yes!
