Of Possible Interest
by Terry Zimmerman
Recently, while talking to some of our readers, it was
suggested that we need to have more information about Canton in
What's Up. Although people in Canton like the articles in What's Up,
they feel as though Canton is not getting enough coverage. We agree.
But, we are not being given any information from the good folks in
Canton. We have had a few articles from Canton people and would like
to have more. We need a Canton correspondent, and we have been
seeking one for months. Anyone interested?
It has also been suggested by a womyn that we are male
dominated. This is not by choice. We have been actively seeking
female contributors since our beginning this publication. Again,
anyone interested? These jobs, as well as any of the others at
What's Up, are unpaid and could possibly be a real pain in the butt
to do, unless you like to do things of interest to you and the
community that we serve. Join in the fun.
Here are a couple of items that we thought you may be
interested in attending or participating in.

LESBIAN AND GAY COUPLES NEEDED!!
A Lesbian and a Gay male researcher at the University of
Maryland are conducting a gay-affirmative study of same-sex couples.
This will be the first major study to look at the impact of factors
unique to the LGB identity process on same-sex relationship
functioning. It will also be the first major study to look at a
racially-ethnically diverse sample of same-sex couples.
What follows is information about participating in the
study: People who participate must be in a relationship that has
lasted at least 3 months. Also, they are focusing on people who
identify (at least partially) as lesbian or gay (as opposed to
primarily identifying as bisexual). Both members of each couple are
sent questionnaires to complete. Questionnaires are returned
separately in stamped return envelopes. All responses are completely
confidential and anonymous. They are eager to hear from couples of a
variety of ages, race/ethnicities, income levels, communities,
outlooks etc. When questionnaires are received from both partners of
a couple, they are automatically entered into a lottery to win
prizes from national and local LGB-affirmative businesses. e-mail:
