Gays, lesbians and bisexuals speak out
By Celeste Cox
.Staffwriter
i Purple and pink helium-filled
balloons were strewn about the
California State University Fresno
campus Monday by the Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual and'Straight Alli¬
ance in honor of National Coming
Out Day. In addition to the bal¬
loons, the group had a booth set up
in the Free Speech area'to greet
questions and onlookers with a
smile and a dose of honesty.
National Coming Out Day is an
annual event celebrated by indi¬
viduals who have publicly admit¬
ted they lead an alternate sexual
lifestyle. They celebrate by getting
together for parades and ceremo¬
nies to encourage others with the
same tendencies to explore their
feelings and accept who they are.
"National Coming Out Day is a
nation-wide effort to bring it to the
attention to the public at large that
we are here." said I.GBSA Co-
President Mykel Cardoza. . >
' The celebration is. also to en¬
courage the quiet homosexuals to
"stop lying, don't hate yourself too
much and come out"
"Those wJv> choose to be quiet
are only hurting themselves,"
Car tioza said
The event gave the LGBSA an
opportunity to accomplish one of
its main goals this semester, which
was ."to become visible" Cardoza
said. "We want to be role models
for the quiet lesbians, gays and
bisexuals."
This^vas the group' sfirst chance
to be visual this semester. "We're
waiting for a spot (in the Free
Speech area) for our booth,"
Cardo7ii said, adding ih.it this would
allow for die publicity the club is I
seeking.
Another goal of the club is "to"
try and reach out to the commu¬
nity," "We would like to plant trees
on Blackstone," he said.
Basically, Cardoza said he
would like to do anything to let the
public know that the group exists. _
However, Cardoza does not
want to take to 60's-style radical¬
ism. "We're tired of marching tbe
streets," he said. "We shouldn't
have to."
"Someday, maybe we'll be al¬
lowed to just be ourselves." Cardoza
said.
National Coming Out Day gave
them the opportunity to do just that.
"It's the equivalent of St.
Patrick's Day, where the Irish are
proud of being Irish. It's aday to be
visible," Cardoza said. '■
He encouraged those who are
not lesbians, gays or bisexuals to
support the causfc. "You don't have

said while pointing out a group of
people who were "more than likely
heterosexual" and carrying the bal¬
loons as a show of support.

sexual and can* t accept it, Cardoza
