want to help people to become responsible for their sexual actions and to value themselves and respect others."... Rev. Peterson has a doctorate in education and is working on a second doctorate in human sexuality. He said communication will be the key technique in his center.

By refusing to review a lower court decision in Martin Sweets Co. vs. Jacobs, the U.S. Supreme Court let stand a decision that ruled employees should be judged on the basis of job performance alone and not their personal lives. Rose M. Jacobs, an unmarried secretary for the Martin Sweets Co. was fired when she became pregnant, at which time the company cited its "high moral standards." Ms. Jacobs sued. During litigation, company lawyers of the Louisville based defendant pointed to the illegality of fornication in Kentucky. The courts, however didn't buy it and even our stoic Plain Dealer editorialized: "An employee's personal life, as long as it does not affect work performance, is not the employer's concern."...

The Bay Area Reporter quotes Grace Slick lead singer of the Jefferson Starship as having this to say about Anita Bryant: "She's cuckoo. She has been taught something that she hasn't been able to figure out is wrong. So she's stupid. And there's no way to correct that except by new DNA codes. A lot of people are stupid. It's very difficult to get people of the enormous middle range (intelligence group) to think any higher than they are capable of thinking. You can sometimes, but it's always as manipulative as selling toothpaste. They have to get it over and over again from 18 different sources before they figure it out.

The Front Runner and The Fancy Dancer has admitted to being a lesbian. Asked why lesbian writers such as herself, Marie Claire Blais, Mary Renault and Margarite Yourcenar wrote about male rather than female homosexuals, Warren said she could only speak for herself. As an athlete, she knew a lot about running and chose males for her focus because the male athlete raised more difficult problems of social

stereotyping

than

female

athletes did. Warren says her next book will be about lesbians ... How did she learn about male homosexuals in order to write The Front Runner? "Research", she replied. But for her book about lesbians, Warren added, "the research will be done in a less devious and roundabout way." ... Warren answered questions after speaking to a Detroit gay group on May 14.
