relates closily with the black
movement and the concept of
black pride.

According to Creason LIN
GAG is following a national
trend toward gay organization.
He said the movement has
grown from less than 30 gay
groups to over 200 In just a few
years. Although there is no
strong national gay organiza
tion, Creason claimed that six
to ten new local groups are
formed each week.
Another MNGAG member,
Dave Mcintosh, noted that the

out" in the public view. He said
one of the most "distinct and
oppressive" things about being
gay up to now has been "our
silence."
"Coming out in Nebraska at
this time is teal scary," he ad
ded. LINGAG's first news release
this weekend stated a threefold
purpose for the organization:
To study the problems of
human sexuality as they relate
to both women and men.
To provide education and
information about these pro
blems for the Lincoln com
munity. To work to provide social,
cultural and legal solutions to
problems of sexual op
pression. Creason said the group has
set up an office at U.M.H.E.,
333 N. 14 St. Regular meetings
are held eah Monday. Work
has been done toward con
tacting gay organizations in
other parts of the country.
Three gay coffeehouses have
been held and more are plann
ed. The Informal coffeehouses
Include musical entertainment,
free food and dancing. Each
coffeehouse has been attended
by about 73 people.
Creason said the coffeehouses
made peopk aw an that gays
were organizing. Before that,
he noted, the only com-nunica-tion
had been by word of
mouth.

gram of education in the Lin
coln comnunity. They have
already talked with a group of
ministers, psychologists,
lawyers, a sorority, the
University (Counselling Center
staff and representatives of
Campus and Lincoln Police.
LINGAG has received good
reactions from these groups,
according to Creason. Plans
call for a permanent LINGAG
speaker's bureau and special
programs for organizations in
Lincoln. The real Importance of
the meetings, in Creason's opi
nion, is to let people in the
community see "real, healthy,
proud gay people" who openly
expose the fact that they are
gay.
Mcintosh said the group is
interested in gathering in
formation about cases of "har
rassment" and instances where
constitutional rights are
violated.
LINGAG also includes gay
women and, as the news
release Insisted, the women
will be equal. It noted that
women in many gay groups are
victims of male chauvinism but
hopefully not in LINGAG.
The release argues that gay
people - and women are both
viewed in seicual terms, "not as
human beings."
LINGAG members said
future plans may include a
regular newsletter, a bake sale,
art show, or gay theatre group,
a gay rap line and referral
