May 1, The Celluloid Closet, K-State
Union Forum Hall, 7:00 pm & 9:30 pm; AND Sat, May 3, 9:30 pm. This
movie is a sexy, funny, infuriating, and instructive overview of a hundred
years of largely inadequate depictions of homosexuals in Hollywood movies.
Neither narrowly sectarian nor toothlessly diplomatic, "The Celluloid
Closet" is a good history, good politics, and good entertainment.

Kansas Rainbow Listserv is Now On-Line
The Kansas Rainbow Listserv (KR-L) is now up and running. KR-L has over one-hundred email subscribers with representation from all Kansas Regent’s universities and Washburn. Non-university subscribers come from as far away as Italy and Australia; a few subscribers are Kansas alumni who live in other parts of the United States.
KR-L replaces the former mq (which was Manhattan specific) and the former kqn (Equality Kansas) listservs. KR-L is non-moderated, which means that subscribers can post freely post messages and initiate discussion on various issues.
Manhattan subscribers are urged to remember that KR-L is NOT Manhattan specific; therefore, in order to trim the growing volume of posts on KR-L, postings concerning Manhattan/KSU meetings and parties should be sent to bgls@ksu.edu.
Anyone interested in subscribing to KR-L may contact Deb at dtaylor@debtaylor.com.
