CAT People:
~~~~~~~~~~
The CAT person of the week is Congressman Barney Frank of
Massachusetts...

Congressman Frank has been a true supporter of our project to
develop a video on suicide prevention and self esteem in gay,
lesbian and bisexual teens. Each time we have contacted his office
for information or help he and his staff have fulfilled our
requests promptly and with genuine concern. In fact, Congressman
Frank has been one of the few prominent adult members of the gay
community to extend his continued support to CAT. Thanks again
Congressman Frank and your staff for all your help!!!

-----------------------
As most of you already know, the School Board of Merrimack, New 
Hampshire voted into policy on August 14, 1995:

Policy 6540--Prohibition of Alternate (sic) Lifestyle Instruction
"The Merrimack School District shall neither implement nor carry out
any program or activity that has either the purpose or effect of
encouraging or supporting homosexuality as a positive lifestyle
alternative. A program or activity, for purpose of this item,
includes the distribution of instructional materials, instruction,
counseling, or other services on school grounds, or referral of a
pupil to an organization that affirms a homosexual lifestyle."

The above policy is discriminatory, shows no compassion or love and
allows the Merrimack School Board the unwise power of censorship.
The policy flies in the face of everything that is decent, just and
fair in our American society... People from all backgrounds must
stand up and fight for the rights of our nation's youth...

Children's Animated Television (CAT), the sponsor of "The GLB Youth
Advisor" is currently working on a video program on gay, lesbian and
bisexual (GLB) teen self esteem and suicide prevention. CAT also
believes there is a direct correlation between GLB low self esteem
and unsafe sex practices. CAT is concerned about many social issues,
especially those related to underserved minority people.
Claude DiDomenica, President of CAT recently said:

"The plight of GLB youth in our society is a good barometer of a
spiritually and emotionally stunted world..."

To get a better idea what is REALLY going on in Merrimack, please
read the following... It has a pretty decent analysis, along with
the events as reported in the Boston Globe...

GAY-DISCUSSIONS BANNED IN SCHOOLS
MERRIMACK, N.H.  -- The School Board voted 3-2 last night to ban
teachers and guidance counselors from presenting homosexuality in a
positive light. The decision drew catcalls from some of the 300
people crowded into the meeting. Many then went outside to join a
candlelight vigil in protest of the board's treatment of gay
teen-agers. School board Chairman Chris Ager defended his proposal,
saying it wouldn't lead to a witch hunt, but rather prevent schools
from usurping parents' right to raise their children as they see
fit. But board member Brenda Grady, a Nashua high school teacher,
said controversial subjects are discussed all the time without
passing judgment on them.

Chairman's Anti-Gay Proposal Rocks Merrimack School Board
Coleman & Grady Oppose Addition to District Policy as Discrimination

Merrimack, NH--In this small, quiet New Hampshire town, Religious
Right organizations such as the Christian Coalition (the political
front organization for failed presidential candidate Pat Robertson)
have torn the citizenry apart with an ideological debate over another
item on their national political agenda. At the last School Board
meeting, Chairman Chris Ager proposed a policy of discrimination
against gays and lesbians. It would ban any neutral discussion of
homosexuality in the schools, ban instructional materials that
discuss homosexuality in a neutral light, and ban suicide prevention
counseling (or referral to counseling) for gay and lesbian students.

After years of peaceful consensus about the basic goals of the
community's school, the right-wing majority bloc of the Board, under
influence from Religious Right political organizations, recently
adopted school prayer disguised as a moment of silence, and
considered teaching creationism in the science courses. The latter
proposal brought legions of angry parents opposing the measure to
volatile School Board meetings and triggered intense scrutiny from
the national press.

"Unless the majority bloc of the School Board drops this, and other
parts of the Religious Right's national agenda, Merrimack will again
be in the national spotlight--portrayed as a prejudiced and bigoted
community," said Board Vice-Chair Ken Coleman. "If the majority bloc
enacts this discriminatory policy against gays and lesbians, the door
will be open to discrimination against many other groups. Most of
all, our children will suffer. Whether heterosexual or homosexual,
they will be taught to hate those unlike them--and the quality of
their education will flounder as the community debates religious
ideology instead of academics."

In the Merrimack School Board election last May, the voters delivered
a clear message. In a record turnout, they rejected the candidates
and inflammatory agenda of the Religious Right. Electing two
moderates (Brenda Grady and Coleman) by unprecedented majorities,
they told the Board to stop debating ideology and return to the real
work of improving education in the school district. The town clearly
wanted the School Board to concentrate on issues such as the shortage
of classrooms and improving the curriculum.

Board members Grady and Coleman went to the School Board meeting
July 10th expecting to talk about math, space needs, and reading
programs--the published agenda. Instead, they faced two unexpected
issues on Chairman Ager's hidden agenda--the severe curtailment of
public participation, and a policy of discrimination against gay
and lesbian students.

Policy 6540--Prohibition of Alternate (sic) Lifestyle Instruction
"The Merrimack School District shall neither implement nor carry out
any program or activity that has either the purpose or effect of
encouraging or supporting homosexuality as a positive lifestyle
alternative. A program or activity, for purpose of this item,
includes the distribution of instructional materials, instruction,
counseling, or other services on school grounds, or referral of a
pupil to an organization that affirms a homosexual lifestyle."

The Analysis
------------
On the surface, this seems innocuous, since the schools should not
promote sexuality of any kind, heterosexual or homosexual. The phrase
at the end, however, specifically prohibits presenting homosexuality
in neutral terms. It thus demeans and degrades all gay and lesbian
students currently in the school system. It encourages discrimination
and violence. The second half of the motion introduces far more
drastic and severe measures. It prohibits the schools not only from
counseling gay and lesbian students who may face ostracism and
discrimination in school, but also prohibits referring students to
outside counseling services, even students contemplating suicide.

The Board thus would cause deliberate anguish and needless suffering
among gay and lesbian students under its supervision. It also permits
the Board to censor books in the school libraries which were either
written by gay authors or have a gay or lesbian in the story line.
It also permits the Board to censor student publications and ban
student organizations.

Why has Chairman Ager proposed a new policy that solves no problems,
but which causes serious harm to Merrimack's students and community?

Presidential politics and the national agenda of the Christian
Coalition have converged on Merrimack, testing issues for the 1996
presidential election. For example, Board member Uscinski has spoken
at the Christian Coalition's National School Board Training Seminar
about techniques for gaining control over local schools. Ralph Reed
interviewed her about her success in Merrimack on CNET. She is also
county co-chair for Pat Buchanan's presidential campaign. Recently,
New Hampshire Governor Steve Merrill rejected $10 million of federal
funds for Goals 2000 program, claiming that it had too many strings
attached. The Christian Coalition, which had lobbied strongly to
defeat Goals 2000, immediately declared victory. On the Fourth of
July, Bob Dole, Pat Buchanan, Phil Gramm, Governor Merrill, and
Congressman William Zeliff all marched in the Merrimack parade--an
impressive assemblage of powerful Republican politicians for a small
town of 23,000. At the last School Board meeting, several prominent
members of the Christian Coalition's state and regional leadership
looked on from the audience as Ager made his proposal.

Christian Coalition Makes Merrimack A National Test Market...Again
Grady and Coleman believe the purpose of this motion is to make
Merrimack a national test market once again for the Christian
Coalition--just as it was during the creationism debate. The New
Hampshire primary is only seven months away. Using these "hot-button"
issues to steer political debate during the presidential primary
campaign, the Religious Right will attempt to focus attention on
their agenda. The national press will cover the controversy because
it involves presidential politics, and extremist groups from all over
the nation will come to Merrimack. As a result, this quiet New
England town has become an unwilling focus group for the marketers of
the Religious Right's ideology and national agenda. With little
concern for the people of Merrimack, they are testing the viability
of discrimination as a campaign issue.

The Merrimack School Board is scheduled to discuss Chairman Ager's
motion at its next regularly scheduled meeting on August 14th.
A formal vote on the motion is scheduled for the board meeting on
September 5th.

NOTE: The policy HAS BEEN ENACTED by the Merrimack School Board...
The 3/5 majority forced a vote at the August 14 meeting...

Merrimack School Board, meet your WORST NIGHTMARE: 

Claude DiDomenica, President of CAT (didom@usa1.com)

Hello... Normally, I am a calm person who likes most anybody...
But the horse hockey going on in Merrimack has made me angry!!!
ARGH!!! Hearing of this Stone Age policy makes me feel sick and wish
to cry. My heart goes out to all concerned...

"The Outrage Page" on the Web is dedicated to the decent people of
Merrimack who have been made into pawns by certain unscrupulous
individuals...

Let's get down to what I feel is the core issue here: FREEDOM
The American flag and Capitol Dome pictures on the Web page symbolize
the threat to our freedom. If you read the analysis above, you would
have seen the connection between Chairman Ager and the political
agenda of the Christian Coalition. I, as an individual, and CAT as an
organization are not political activists. We are concerned for the
health and well being of gay, lesbian and bisexual youth. We are also
alarmed when the freedom of any of our citizens is challenged.
Recently, I sent a fax to the two reasonable board members who voted
against:
"The immoral, unethical, shortsighted, mean-spirited, political usage
by the Merrimack School Board of gay, lesbian and bisexual (GLB)
youth..." I then concluded:
"The decision of your School Board is in effect, a death sentence to 
some of your kids..."

There is overwhelming evidence that GLB youth face:

 * Higher and unacceptable incidence of suicide than the general
   populous
 * Prevalent alcohol and substance abuse
 * Increased risk of HIV and sexually transmitted diseases (STD's)
 * Unsupportive and/or hostile family, school and social environments
 * Violence and hate crimes
 * Inadequate or no education because they fear attending school
 * Being thrown out of their homes or feeling compelled to run away
 * Involvement in prostitution for survival, if homeless

I just spoke on the phone with Ken Coleman, one of the 2 out of 5
Merrimack School Board members opposed to the horrific policy. I
assured him I would do everything I could do to help. Then I received
a call from a really nice guy named Randy Kottwitz. Randy has been
working with Ken to help these kids. I feel really encouraged that we
can work together and help in a significant way...
I am not an expert on the Christian Coalition's political agenda. It
seems illogical for God to create GLB children to be persecuted and
feel compelled to kill themselves. I also know there are good
Christians who have room in their hearts for ALL people. CAT is
working with various clergy from all denominations. I personally feel
God created the vast diversity of people for us to learn love and
compassion, not to practice hate and discrimination.

What are we left with now that the Merrimack School Board policy is
in effect???

 * The Merrimack schools will deny current, accurate information
   about homosexuality to GLB teens
 * The heterosexual kids are taught a terrible lesson of intolerance
   and hatred
 * The Merrimack School Board will censor books and educational
   materials about GLB themes. What's next??? Barbed wire and
   concentration camps???
 * GLB and heterosexual students can not form a support group in
   school or write about GLB issues in the school newspaper
 * No outside support for GLB students who live in a hostile family
   environment because of their sexual orientation
 * What happens to a teacher/counselor who violates the policy when
   they help a depressed or suicidal GLB teen??? (Personally, I will
   award them a medal!!! :)
 * An increase of suicide attempts by GLB teens who do not receive
   support from their families, school or community
 * Who do we hold responsible if just ONE CHILD commits suicide
   because of this hurtful policy???

I feel all people, heterosexual and GLB, can not tolerate this unjust
policy in a country that prides itself on freedom. Whatever happened
to the separation of church and state??? This bologna or cover story,
if you will: "Ager defended his proposal, saying it wouldn't lead to
a witch hunt, but rather prevent schools from usurping parents' right
to raise their children as they see fit." It is well documented that
much of the violence and ridicule GLB teens suffer is at the hands of
their own family... Again, Ager and company's logic is flawed to the
max. These people should read the Declaration of Independence, The
Constitution and Bill of Rights. "The right to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness..." By denying GLB youth neutral information on
sexuality, they put these kids at tremendous risk...

Ager and company are "usurping" the rights of children to a decent
and factual education...

What can decent people do???
----------------------------
We should realize that the people who wish to force their agenda upon
us are a small portion of Americans. As they say, "there is strength
in numbers." We must stand tall and protect all American children
from the evil agenda before us:

 * Spread the word about this outrage!!!
 * If you have a Web page, PLEASE put a link direct to
   "The Outrage Page" http://www1.usa1.com/~furball/glb/outrage.html/
 * Call/Fax the people mentioned in the above document
 * Write letters to the editor of the major New Hampshire newspapers
 * Help organize or participate in a peaceful demonstration
 * If you are a lawyer, offer your pro-bono services to assist in any
   forthcoming legal challenges
 * Carefully scrutinize ALL political candidates to ensure they are
   for the rights of all citizens

I can guarantee the Merrimack School Board that the GLB teens of your
school district WILL get the information they need!!! You are
probably facing lawsuits as well, from various families and groups.
CAT will put together a program to ensure all GLB and hetero teens
have access to the knowledge they deserve and are entitled to.

What CAT has and will offer to do:

 * Provide Ken and Randy with a free homepage on the Web, or they can
   participate in "The Outrage Page"
 * Assist in implementing an Internet awareness campaign in Merrimack
   to ensure ALL kids have access to GLB information
 * Help set up a dial-in computer bulletin board service (BBS) for
   those with minimal computer equipment
 * Ask Governor Weld of Massachusetts to speak out against the policy
   (Massachusetts has a Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian
   Youth doing wonderful things in the schools)
 * We have added this "Crises in Merrimack" column to the
   CAT Chronicle, our popular weekly newsletter. We will provide a
   free forum for those fighting intolerance in Merrimack
 * Help organize a press conference

If you can help, please contact two of the nicest guys on earth:

Parent's Corner...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Parent's tip of the week:
10 things to do in a grocery store to help your children behave

 * Give your child a responsibility like help select the hardest
   apples, find the cheapest green beans, match the coupons with the
   labels, etc...

 * Play a game with the child like let's count all the tennis shoes 
   we see on people's feet or let's see how many B's you can find on
   signs, etc...

 * Play guessing games like guess how much something is going to cost

 * Describe food in the cart and have the children guess the food

 * Sing songs with them, make up a "grocery store" song

 * Give your child something of yours to play with like keys, 
   pocket book, note pad and pencil, etc...

 * Discuss rules before entering the store. Let the child know what
   they can't get before entering

 * Reinforce appropriate behavior, talk with them, play with them,
   engage them in the decision making process, encourage them to
   talk, watch, listen and think

 * Stop unacceptable behavior as soon as it occurs. Don't ignore
   behavior which is dangerous, destructive or embarrassing.
   Don't let the child think you will allow them to misbehave in
   public

 * Reward good behavior, promise to play a game with or read to your
   child when you get home, or buy them a special treat

Not all of these work with my kids, but most seem to help, give them
a try, you never know...

GLB Youth Advisor:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CAT's current video project is on GLB teen self esteem. Our goal
is to help put a stop to the unacceptably high rate of GLB teen
depression and suicide. We also believe there is a direct correlation
between low self esteem and unsafe sex practices. To this aim, as a
public service we present to you the GLB Youth Advisor...

College Daze
				    
I decided to spend my college years at in a rural environment. This
school had an excellent meteorology department and offered a wide
variety of courses. As excited as I was to be in Vermont, I would
soon learn that living in an intellectual community did not protect
me from the harsh realities of life. I honestly expected the
college community to be open, tolerant and accepting of differences
between individuals. I looked forward to leaving home. My gay
feelings were growing stronger and I needed to explore them further.
Although I still kept myself 'closeted' at the time, I hoped to find
my first boyfriend.

As a child, I had very few friends. But surprisingly in college,
I developed a close circle of friends for the first time in my life.
I found acceptance and companionship among people my own age.
Things worked out quite well for the first few months, and I was
happy. However, I carefully guarded my sexual orientation. I knew
people did not like homosexuals. I was afraid to loose my new friends
so I kept quiet. This created uncomfortable moments for me whenever
our discussions turned to girls and dating. I never dated anyone,
let alone a girl. I carefully avoided the topic. Ironically, most of
my friends assumed I never dated because I spent too much time
studying. Sometimes I was overwhelmed with jealousy. My friends were
free to discuss their desires, but I was afraid to reveal mine.
Eventually, I discovered that my friends were homophobic, in every
sense of the word.

Unfortunately, certain students became the victims of rumors and
jokes. They were accused of being homosexual, publicly humiliated and
avoided by many 'popular' students. Despite my protests, my friends
enjoyed making fun of these students. My arguments remained neutral
and 'safe'. I would say, "How do you know this guy is gay? Looks can
be deceiving." Unfortunately, this situation continued to deteriorate
as the school year progressed. My friends began to talk about
violence against homosexuals on campus. They would say things like,
"I'd like to be a trigger man and waste some gays!" I was shocked to 
hear these comments from students with above average intelligence. I
assumed that smart kids were above these kinds of thoughts. But
obviously, even smart people can hate...

These kids would damage the cars of people they suspected were gay.
By this time, my depression and anxiety about the situation was full
blown. I felt bad for these people. I was afraid of being labeled as
gay myself if I tried to stand up for them. So, I continued to sell
myself out just to maintain the tentative friendships with my
"close circle of friends."

The next year provided no relief from the growing anti-gay sentiment
throughout the campus. It spread to the administration itself
including the meteorology department. I developed a close working
relationship with the chairman of the department. We shared similar
political ideologies. I displayed a innate ability to understand his
lectures and weather analysis. I was one of his best students and
the seniors would ask for my help in the meteorology classes taught
by the chairman.

One day as I walked by the chairman's office, I saw a bumper sticker
that read: "Gay and Lesbian students are NOT welcome in this
department." I stared at the sign in disbelief! My heart was
racing and I started to cry. What did I do to deserve such treatment
from a man I respected?

The final blow to my mental health came a few weeks later. I was
talking with my closest friend about friendships. He said that he
considered me his best friend, the first in several years. I
honestly felt the same way. We talked for a long time. He finally
confessed that he ended a friendship with a previous best friend
because he 'came out' to him. He explained that when he found out
his friend was gay, he could not deal with a gay 'flaunting himself'
in front of him. He never spoke with him again. I felt like a
a dagger was being thrust into my heart. What could I do?  My 'best
friend' would abandon me if he knew the truth! This final blow
made me feel that there was no point in living.

I told another friend within my 'circle' about my suicidal thoughts.
At first, I wasn't sure why I chose him, but it became clear to me
much later. I gradually felt a need to be with him. I developed some
feelings for him that grew into love. He told a counselor about me
because he was afraid I would attempt suicide. I did make an attempt
a couple of weeks later. I started to see this counselor who
suggested that I keep a log of my dreams and thoughts. I discovered
that my friend turned up in many of my writings. Finally, she asked
me if I loved him. I confessed that I did. She smiled knowingly and
told me to tell him I was gay and how I felt about him. I just stared
at her and said I could not. The risk of revealing myself to him
could result in his rejection of me and possible alienation by the
entire campus. She tried to give me a hint, but I refused to take it.
She just said, "Trust me. I'm also counseling him. I have to
maintain his privacy. But I can tell you that you really should tell
him you love him." Today, as I write this, I believe she was trying
to tell me that he was also gay, and maybe loved me too. At that
time, the fear of rejection and alienation ripped me apart. I could
not even look him in the face. I wanted him so much but I was too
afraid of the consequences. Finally, my solution to the entire
problem was to just quit school.

All this happened two years ago. I did try to return to college,
but the administration refused to give me housing. I did consider a
lawsuit, but it did not seem worth pursuing. I often think about the
friend I loved so much. To this day, it still breaks my heart. The
longing to see him remains with me, although I have not seen him in
two years. My suicidal thoughts are not as frequent. I am finally
completely self accepting of my homosexuality. I traveled a tough
road to arrive at my current level of acceptance and still agonize
over my losses. I write this in the hope that those of you planning
to attend college will avoid the pitfalls I created for myself.
Examine the school's social groups. Find out if there is a GLB
support group on campus. Some colleges even utilize gay-specific
dorms or housing, providing a safe environment and the opportunity to
meet others to help you create supportive relationships.
