Meeting Discusses Issues Surrounding Red Cross Affiliation, Melanie Morin
Meeting Discusses Issues Surrounding Red Cross Affiliation, Melanie Morin
Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
A General Student Senate resolution passed last April that encourages student organizations not to associate with the American Red Cross because of accusations of gay discrimination which have caused concern over campus blood drives. The controversy stems from a Food and Drug Administration policy originating in 1983. The policy prohibits all men who have ever had sex with any other man since 1977 from donating blood. Since this time, ·technology has reduced the risk of contracting HIV through blood donations to about one unit per two million donations, according to the Red Cross Web site.

The Coolest Month, Alisa Solomon
Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS)
If you hung around CLAGS during Spring semester, you ran into a lot of fruitfully provocative contradictions. Take late April, for instance. On the 24th, Marcia Gallo presented her work-in-progress -- a dissertation on the Daughters of Bilitis -- in our Colloquium Series and noted how many of the lesbians who were active in the organization since its founding in 1955 disavowed any serious political aims. "We just wanted to have fun," Gallo reported them saying to her in the extensive interviews she has been doing as part of her research.
Wrestling With Tv “Rasslin”, Paul Duncum
Wrestling With Tv “Rasslin”, Paul Duncum
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
TV wrestling stretches the envelope of what art educators might consider legitimate content under the emerging art educational paradigm of visual culture. (Duncum & Bracey, 2001) TV wrestling. Or "rasslin" as it’s known to its audience, is a significant cultural site because it is very popular and, under analysis, has much to say about contemporary cultural experience, especially that of its audience. While it provides pleasures and reference points to its audience, these reference points are often sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, and in terms of familial relationships, dysfunctional. They are also violent and obscene. This paper both acknowledges the lived experience …

Cancelling The Queers: Activism In Art Education Conference Planning, Dennis E. Fehr, Ed Check, Future Atkins, Karen Keifer-Boyd
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
This paper examines how individual and collective strategies and interventions countered homophobia and censorship in a public venue, in this particular case at a state art education association annual conference. We reveal our personal actions and reactions to hysteria, institutional homophobia, and find solutions. Our individual and collective responses demonstrate how layers of emotional, intellectual and activist energy co-exist and that harmony and quick solutions to such complex social problems involve sustained and dedicated efforts.
The Perils Of Queering The Curriculum, David William Foster
The Perils Of Queering The Curriculum, David William Foster
Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS)
A student came into my office the other day who provided a direct challenge to my efforts to queer the curriculum. Let me say first that, although I respect the value of teaching courses on topics that are presented as queer-marked — indeed, I teach graduate courses in English on Queer Theory and Queer Filmmaking - my ideological preference in the courses I teach in both Spanish and Portuguese is to engage in queer readings across the canon, toward demonstrating that 1) sexual/gender identity is problematic in all texts, and any facile or obvious attribution is likely to be the …

Bob Paris' image as "Mr. Universe" and "Mr. America" depended on his masculinity, but it all changed when he announced he was gay. Paris had intended his statement to Ironman magazine to be one speaking about love and commitment, not to draw attention to himself and his sexuality. Instead it destroyed his career and four year run of popularity. No athletes in the mainstream have ever come out during their career to say they were homosexual.

My article is prompted by the display of anti-gay material by a Christian sect in the Memorial Union March 24 and 25. Over the tables were two large banners asking, "What is Wrong with Homosexuality?" and, "What is Wrong with Fornication?"

Hate Crimes Aren't 'Isolated' Incidents, Peg Cruikshank
Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
The recent statement by university administration officials that the anti-gay hate crimes on this campus are isolated incidents reveals more concern for public relations than for the safety of gay, lesbian and bisexual students.

In light of recent incidents, the university community must look out for itself more and become aware of the risks on campus. Since the beginning of the semester, a gay-rights proponent has been threatened in his room by an intruder, a baseball player has been accused by police of committing assault in dorm, and several women on East/West Campus have had their rooms entered into the middle of the night by strangers.

The Attorney General's Office reached an agreement late last week with Casey Belanger, the University of Maine student accused of sending threatening e-mail to several folders on the FirstClass computer system. Both Belangers and the judge have signed a "consent judgement," permanently restraining him from harassing anyone of the minority status, according to Assistant Attorney General Stephen Wessler.

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
The penalties levied by the University of Maine against a student accused of issuing a violent threat on FirstClass [the University's email system] have been set, but an investigation by UMaine's Public Safety continues. Casey Belanger, 19, of Caribou, has been ordered by UMaine to serve 30 hours of community service over two semesters. The university has also suspended his FirstClass account and placed him on "probated suspension." The punishment sought by the state, however, is potentially more severe.

The Maine Attorney General's Office filed a civil suit yesterday against a University of Maine student who allegedly used the FirstClass [email] computer system to make threatening statements directed at gays, lesbians and bisexuals. The suit claims Casey Belanger, 19, of Orono, violated the Maine Civil Rights Act... "Bias motivated threats of violence have absolutely no place anywhere in society, including our universities and colleges," Attorney General Andrew Ketterer said.

Living The Discourses, Ed Check, Grace Deniston, Dipti Desai
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
Factors of social class, race, gender, and sexuality are important to any understanding of the social processes of art. Often, art educators discuss these factors in abstract terms, thereby confining discussion in art education to a set of identifiable variables constructed as static, universal, and homogeneous. The particularities of living and working in educational spaces structured along racist, classist, sexist, and homophobic lines remain largely unexplored. Recent scholarship in art education has begun to examine the particularities of these social relations (Garber, 1995; Stuhr, Krug, & Scott, 1995). But the fractures, dangers, and the erasures are not being articulated in …

Let's talk about the Safe Zone. Let's talk about the creation of a ten room, single occupancy wing which is open to heterosexuals, allies, gays, lesbians, bisexual, transgendered, as well as thos who "haven't quite self-identified as…" Let's be realistic, the Safe Zone, as proposed, will not come close to housing every gay and lesbian on the University of Maine campus, nor is that its attempt.

I appreciate Michael Lane's column "Sensitivity U." in the Feb. 12, 1996 edition of the Maine Campus. His points are frequently well researched and written, though I frequently disagree with his interpretations of events. Such is the case with his views on the residence hall Safe Zone for lesbian, gay, bisexual students and their allies. Contrary to his anticipation, I do not consider him a homophobe, I support his freedom to speak his mind. I also think his understanding of the experience of lesbian, gays, and bisexuals and the First Amendment could be better informed.

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
Last week's announcement of a new dormitory wing reserved for gays, lesbians, and bisexuals is not particularly interesting. It came as no surprise that the university, concerned more with sensitivity than education, would forge ahead with such a reckless plan. Many would prefer to ignore the issue. However, as a supposed voice of the reactionary social policy, I feel that this decision, indeed the university's stance of anti-discriminatory education, is worthy of comment.

The editorial of Feb. 2, 1996 on HIV testing needs a response. There is an evolving understanding of the role of HIV testing as part of a broader effort to effect major behavioral changes that are needed to halt the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The community should understand these facts about HIV testing.

Everyone knows that Maine is Vacationland and the way life should be (full of lobsters and loons), but we also have plenty of another commodity- hate. If you are not a member of a group traditionally persecuted, then you have nothing to worry about, right? Hate in Maine takes on many faces and is felt by many group and many people. Charlie Howard's name comes to mind. This summer, concerned Maine people gathered to honor his memory and not let his death be in vain. Howard was thrown to his death off a bridge by three teenagers in the city …
