Carolina Drummer '87.

nights ot partying that climaxes with the
Mr. Carolina Drummer Contest on Satur
day, May 16, at Charlotte's Park Center.
The ManDance/DrummerBoy Contest
that tollows the contest is merely the

Results oi the study by Dr. Bryan Rob
inson and his colleagfues at UNCC and
the University oi Georgia will be pub
lished in the April issue ol Psychology
Today. The research, initiated in 1980
and funded by UNCC, is the first major
study of this nature since the 1960s.
Robinson, associate professor oi child
and family development, presented
preliminary findings at the February
meeting of the Charlotte chapter of
PFLAG. Early findings included re
sponses from 400 of the 700 question
naires mailed to families with gay chil
dren.
He told PFLAG that earlier research
decades ago indicating that most gays
suffer from emotional imbalance and
depression was skewed because all 106
gays in that study were at that time in
therapy for depression; the control
group oi 106 heterosexuals were not. He
admitted that his own research may be
skewed in the other direction because
respondents to his questionnaire were
primarily mothers of gays.
