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 @ snail mail: the Other Press, room 1020, 700 Royal Avenue New Westminster, BC V3L 5B2;

via intercampus mail: Other Press, New West Campus, Room 1020;
