Candace Gingrich speaks to a crowd gathered at the Coming
Out Week activities Saturday at the Omaha Civic Auditorium.
Gingrich
Continued from Page 1
She has since spoken in more than
50 cities for the organization.
Gingrich told a crowd of about 100
people about her own coming out ex
perience. She said she came out three
different times: first to herself, then to
her family and friends, and, finally, to
the world.
She began to accept her sexual
orientation when she wanted to play
on her college rugby team. There were
openly lesbian women on the team
who encouraged her, she said.
The summer after that semester,
her mother, Kathleen Gingrich, was
cleaning her room and found a copy ol
the Lavender Letter, a lesbian news
letter.
Her mother then asked her if she
was a lesbian. Candace said she was.
She came out to the world when an
Associated Press reporter came to talk
to her family following Newt
Gingrich’s inauguration as Speaker.
Her mother showed the reporter
Gingrich’s high school picture and
told the reporter she didn’t like to
show her daughter’s college picture.
Gingrich had long hair in high school
and a crew cut in college.
Gingrich told the reporter that she
was a lesbian. After her sexual orien
tation became public, the executive
director of the Human Rights Cam
paign Fund asked Candace to go on
tour.
Gingrich said she didn’t think very
‘ often about her brother’s negative
views of gays and lesbians.
“Most Americans don’t feel the
way he does.”

curricular activities. He or she would
have to wait seven years to petition for
permission to rejoin the activities.
James Griesen, vice chancellor for
student affairs, said the caucus’ goals
were good. But the proposed amend
ments are not the way to achieve those
goals, he said.
He said he didn’t like the idea of
banning students from extracurricular
activities. UNL’sphilosophy, he said,
is for students to learn both inside and
outside the classroom, unless they
commit such a severe offense that
academic suspension is warranted.
Griesen said he worried about
evenly enforcing the proposals. UNL
can find out what students do in Lin
coln during the academic year, he said.
But enforcement gets difficult outside
Lincoln, he said.
“We have students from 50 states
and 100 foreign countries,” he said.
“And we don’t have any way to find
out what they do when they’re at
home.”
The Association of Students of the
University of Nebraska plans to give
its opinion on the proposal, said
Shawntell Hurtgen, the senate’s presi
dent. ASUN may issue an alternative
to the amendments, she said.
For the amendments to be added to
the Student Code of Conduct, they
must be approved by the NU Board of
Regents.
Hurtgen said she had several prob
lems with the amendments. She agreed
with Griesen that the proposed penal
ties would violate the uni versity ’ s goal
of educating students both in and out
of the classroom.
