It wasn't very impressive the part) would have 25.000 hours of first time I saw it that hot Sunday afternoon in June. The door stood open to let in the almost non-existent breeze, a sort of "natural air-conditioner." Two young men were sweating over a large roll of carpet as they pushed and pulled to maneuver it into position for measuring and cutting. Except for the two friends who had given me a ride from Akron, the two diligent carpet-layers and myself, there was no one else in sight. That was my introduction to the Gay Community Center of Cleveland.

Sadly enough, this is often the story in our community. Everyone wants a community center, everyone believes in educating the general public and de-mythologizing the gay community, but only if someone else will do the work.

There is an estimated 25,000 gay people in the Tri-county area. If every person would contribute one hour and one dollar, the G.E.A.R. Foundation (of which the community center is a

I am new to the area, an Akronite for only 6 months, but I've seen what can be done when we get our act together. It was my privilege to be a part of the formation of a Gay Political Caucus in the very heart of Southern Baptist territory, and it doesn't take a lot of millionaires to establish help agencies and organizations in the gay community. What it does take is your willingness to participate.

In Germany, the Jews didn't believe Hitler would annihilate them. In America, gays don't believe the Orange Juice lady will touch their lives. Well -WAKE UP HISTORY does repeat itself!! Everytime a gay person is beaten, or killed -every one of us stand to lose.
