UltraViolet Newsletter

 

In 1988 we started a newsletter called "Out!", a play on U.S. Out (at that time principally of Central America, which our government was in the process of invading -- remember Honduras and Panama?) and, obviously, Out of the Closet and Into the Streets. A few years later, every queer rag in the country was calling itself Out and we decided to change the name. After many long and hilarious debates over what to call it, we settled on UltraViolet - the invisible fringe of the rainbow. It is a forum for discussion of issues important to the queer community, a source of information about political issues and actions you don't hear enough about in the mainstream (and mainstream gay) press, and a place where we get to be wild and wacky and witty on any subject that particularly interests us at the moment. We mail it out for free to over 900 people, including about 300 prisoners, and sometimes people who like it send us money, which we really appreciate.

Log Cabin Club Gets Wood for McCain

BERKELEY, CA-The Log Cabin Republicans have announced they will be acquiring the recently felled oak trees from the controversial grove on UC Berkeley property. Berkeley ordinance regulates the treatment of coast live oaks over 6 inches in diameter in Berkeley. Patrick Sammon, head of the gay Republican club, was delighted to report they had gotten all this hard wood for John McCain.

“We will show that the gays can be lumber jacks. We’re going to cut these trees up faster than Governor Palin can dress a moose!”

When asked about Palin’s anti-gay church, beliefs, movies, shoes and existence, Sammon replied they had much in common. “The governor is our anti-fag hag. It’s time we moved away from the ultra left “Will and Grace” model.”

 
 UltraViolet is distributed with another newsletter, Out of Time, which is produced by Out of Control Lesbian Committee to Support Women Political Prisoners. Prisoners, especially political prisoners, queer prisoners and the death penalty, are a big focus of LAGAI too. Great information on prison activist work is available from the Prison Activist Resource Center.
