Governor makes appointments public
History made as Pa. Council for
Sexual Minorities established
Penn-
HARRISBURG sylvania Gov. Milton J. Shapp has established the long-awaited Council for Sexual Minorities and has named 17 gay community representatives, eight state agency liaisons. and seven "at-large" members to comprise the Council for its first term. The action effectively makes gay activism an official part of the executive branch of state government, a first in the nation.
The Council is the outgrowth of the ad-hoc Governor's Gay Rights Task Force, which first met in January 1975 and has recommended a full scale review of the problems of sexual minorities. The Council will be chaired by Anthony Silvestre, Penn State sociologist, who has participated in the Task Force and has worked closely with the top officials of the Department of Education on rights of sexual minorities during the past year. Silvestre is past president of Homophiles of Penn State.
In a letter sent to the newlyappointed members of the Council the Governor said "The charge... to this Council is to clearly define the problems of sexual minorities throughout the Commonwealth and to recommend ways in which discrimination against sexual minorities can be ended." The Governor said that he also wanted the Council to make recommendations about present legislation affecting
sexual
minorities.
The Council, which will have no budget, includes the following "at-. large" members:
Frederick Douglar Morris. corrections specialist: Bishop Lyman Ogilby. Episcopal Church Diocese of Pennsylvania: Joseph Bongiovoni,
Jr., Esq.. past president of the Philadelphia Bar Association; Dr. Barbara K. Shore, president of Pennsylvania chapter of the National Association of Social Workers; Thomas Wiestling. Pennsylvania AFSCME; Dr. George W. Smith, psychiatrist (Harrisburg); and Rep. Norman Berson, House. Judiciary Committee.
The gay community members included on the Council are:
Thomas Wilson, Frances Hanckel, Janet Cooper, Harry Langhorne, Barbara Gittings, Karin Martin, and Mark Segal, all of Philadelphia;
Debbie Boyle, Dianne L. Gigler Randal G. Forrester and David March from the Allegheny County area:
Afm "rural" area:
Marilyn A. Hewitt and Jerry Brennan (Harrisburg), Mable Lou Augustine (Reading), Samuel J. Deetz, (Northumberland), and Janice Irvine (State College).
