Gay and Lesbian Student Services is pleased to announce
NATIONAL COMING OUT WEEK
And for the sake of the straight members of the university community, we would like to answer
some of the most common questions about this week.
What is Coming Out ?
Gay men, lesbians and bisexuals are different from women and minorities in that we are often
invisible: all stereotypes about limp wrists and swishy walks aside, we cannot usually be recognized
by physical appearances and mannerisms. Coming out is the process by which we reveal ourselves
to our families and friends, and identify ourselves as present and active members of the human race.
What is the purpose of Coming Out ?
Coming out is first and foremost an act of pride and self-affirmation. It shows that we have
overcome the stigma of prejudice and ignorance, and have accepted ourselves for who we are.
Coming out is also the ultimate revolutionary act, tor it shows our families and friends that we are
everywhere, that we have been in their midst all this time and have done them no grave harm. Coming
out shows straight people that we are the fathers and mothers and sisters and brothers whom they have
always loved; the professors and teachers and doctors and dentists and lawyers and police chiefs whom
they have always respected; the secretaries and mail carriers and gardeners and clerks whom they have
always depended upon; the neighbors and classmates whom they have always turned to for help and
friendship and the latest Dan Quay le joke. Coming out shows straight people that we are just like them
in most regards: that we put our pants on one leg at a time, just like them; that we slough off to school
and work every morning, just like them; that we work hard for our money, pay taxes, worry about drugs
and crime, care about schools, and have families and friends and loves, just like them. When we come
out to straight people, they can no longer deny us, for in doing so, they would be denying themselves.
How do I handle someone Coming Out to me?
Despite their best intentions, some straight people feel uncomfortable in their first encounter with
us. They should not worry about this reaction: the fear of the new and unknown is a very natural
protective instinct. To help straight people overcome this reaction, we offer these Ten Suggestions:
1. Do not run screaming from the room. This response is rude.
2. If you must back away, do so slowly, and with discretion.
3. Do not assume that we are attracted to you. On the other hand, do not assume that we are
not attracted to you.
4. Do not expect us to be as excited about meeting a straight person as you might be about
meeting a gay person. We were all raised with straight people.
5. Do not start talking about your boy/girlfriend or husband/wife in order to make it clear that
you are straight. We probably already know.
6. Do not ask us how we got this way; ask yourself how you got the way you are.
7. Do not assume that we are dying to talk about being gay. On the other hand, do not expect
us to refrain from talking about being gay.
8. Do not trivialize our lives by assuming it is a bedroom experience only. We are gay 24
hours a day.
9. Do not assume we want to be treated like the opposite sex. We probably don't.
10. If you are tempted to tell us that we are taking the easy way out...don’t.

White House celebrates 200th yeai
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — George Washington wanted
America's presidents to live in a building that would
"suit the circumstances" of the new nation.
In later years, as the country grew, the
"President's House" could grow with it, he wrote.
The history of the White House officially began
200 years ago this week, when the cornerstone was
laid Oct. 13,1792.
Since then, the number of rooms at 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue has more than doubled —
from 60 to more than 130. It's been built, rebuilt and
redecorated many times.
But despite the wear and tear of 39 presidents,
millions of visitors and a fire set by the British on
Aug. 24, 1814, the essence of the house remains the
same.
Irish-born architect James Hoban won a national
contest to design the house, and built it out of off-
white sandstone from Virginia.
But workers whitewashed the stone to protect it
before the building was finished, and by the 1820s,
most people knew it as the White House. Theodore
Roosevelt made the name official in 1901.
Washington is the only president who never lived
there.
One president — Grover Cleveland — was
married there. Two — William Henry Harrison and
Zachary Taylor — died there.
John Adams was the first to move in, and the
house wasn't finished when he did. Only six rooms
were plastered, and the grounds were covered with
builders' shacks and garbage.
Abigail Adams used the uncompleted East Room
to dry the family laundry.
Adams took time out on his first night there to
write a now-famous prayer for its future.
"I pray Heaven to bestow the best of blessings on
this house, and on all that shall hereafter inhabit it.
May none but honest and wise men ever rule unda
this roof!" he wrote on Nov. 2, 1800.
Each president has made the house his own.
They've had personal tragedies — like the death of
young Willie Lincoln in 1862 — as well as happy
moments — including numerous weddings anil
births.
Rowdy crowds poured into the house to celebrate
Andrew Jackson's inauguration, and during the
Civil War, Union soldiers regularly slept in the
reception rooms, leaving tobacco stains and mud on
the carpets. Today, more than a million Americans
tour the building each year.
"The White House is a timeless place, a sortofa
shorthand for the presidency," Seale said. "It's the
resident's house — the house where he lives, the
ouse where he sleeps, the house where he eats, the
house where he worries. People are endlessly
fascinated."
The stress of the job has often colored
descriptions of the house. William Howard Taft said
it was "the loneliest place in the world." Abraham
Lincoln called it "this damned old house." To Ham
S Truman, it was "a glamorous prison."
Theodore Roosevelt had called in the NewYorl
firm of McKim, Mead & White to do a major
renovation in 1902.
A few years into Truman's term, more work was
clearly necessary. A piano leg sank througha
second-story floor, and the president feared the
same would happen to his bathtub.
Truman also began an ongoing effort to furnish
the house with historical accuracy that continues to
this day.
Mary Todd Lincoln auctioned off furniture from
the White House after Lincoln's death. When
Chester A. Arthur took office in 1881, hehadll
cartloads of furnishings sold at public auction.
But over the years, much of the auctioned
furniture has found its way back to the house.
