Y'all:

I just finished with another great book that I wish
everybody'd go out and order.  It was _Hate_Crimes:
Confronting_Violence_against_Lesbians_and_Gay_Men
Gregore M. Herek and Kevin T. Berrill, eds. (Sage
Publications, 1992, ISBN 0803945418).

Just 2 nights ago a new acquaintence here in town
because the first person to ever seriously look me
in the incredibly sexy hazel eyes and ask "Discrimina-
tion?  How are we discriminated against?"  This guy is
fairly 'out', and at least in other areas, somewhat
aware, so I was understandblay agape.  I did give him an
earful, and I don't think we're going to be friends
now, which is somewhat disappointing.  What a
clash between his state of no-clueness and this
incredible book, so full of painful stories and
the usual unbelievable stats!

I'll make it quick:  Great book, go to all the
libraries you can think of and make sure they
have it, then go buy one for yourselves!!!
