However, while George

Hey all you
Queers out
there!

Yes, you dykes, gays, bi’s, transgen-
ders, genderbenders, genderfuckers
and anything else you like to label

yourselves with.

It’s that time of the year again and we at the
Other Press are putting out another Queer Ish
and are asking those of you who want to tell
the world [the community of Douglas College
mostly] your coming out story. You can do it
anonymously, with a pseudonym or for those
souls who are real brave and out, your real
name,

Telling your story to us and anyone else
who reads this paper doesn’t mean that you
have completely come out or haven't in any
way, all this means is letting a homophobic,
heterosexist, capitalist, patriarchal world know
that we Queers are not only alive and well but
not totally invisible.

We want to encourage Bi's,
queer teachers and queers who live
in rural and suburban areas to
submit their stories. [Hey, everyone
in Coquitlam, Surrey, Maple Ridge].

We will also accept pixz,
poetry, queer short stories and artwork of any kind.

Address any and all submissions
(deadline is: Febuary 4 1999) to the
Queer Ish Coordinator, Gweny Wong
