ARMY V viewpoint Our gay agenda Over the next several weeks, organizers of the Millennium March on Washington are launching what we believe to be the largest grassroots polling operation in the history of the GLBT justice movement. We are in the process of preparing the plat form for the Millennium March on Washing ton for Equality (MMOW) — the fourth na tional GLBT march and the first human rights march of the new millennium. In past marches, participants had to travel to designated cities to participate in the plat form preparation. Now, for the first time, ev ery single member of the GLBT community has the opportunity to have a direct vote and voice in the platform of the upcoming March on Washington. A “Platform Survey Ballot” has been de signed and posted on the Marchs official web site at http://www.mmow.org. To make the pro cess as democratic as possible, we are also dis tributing the ballot through the GLBT press, additional web sites, community newsletters and Internet mailing lists. . Ballots must be completed in full to be counted, including name and address. All in formation will remain confidential. Fax your completed ballot to (818) 893-1593 or mail to Millennium March on Washington, Platform Ballot, 15842 Chase St., North Hills, CA 91343. To receive an email version of the bal lot, contact MMOW2000@aol.com.

It appears that most of my lesbian friends enjoy monogamy and most of my gay male friends are slut puppies. Is this a figment of my imagination? I have a very wide social circle and I simply find this fascinating. What sets us apart in that arena? I have never once gotten a late-night phone call from a woman saying, “Hi. I just needed to talk. I just know my lover is cruising the bookstore. I am so upset.” It would never hap pen. My lesbian friends say things like: “She is on my nerves so I am ignoring her” or “We are working on the lawn today and having a bar becue later.” My male friends are the ones who call me at 3:00am to declare: “I just know he is at the baths! That rotten @$#%! Pick me up so I can see if his car is there!” I may be uneducated in this arena, but I have never heard of a lesbian bathhouse nor women hanging out in public parks or restrooms for a “quick fix.” Obviously, this is a huge generalization, but it seems women take the lead in this category.
