Support Group For Gays & Lesbians Over 50
We are glad to remind AGENDA readers of the ongoing support group for lesbians and gay men who are aged fifty and above: GLOW (Gays & Lesbians, Older & Wiser). GLOW has been meeting for six years. Meetings are on the first Saturday of each month from 11 am to 1 pm at the U-M Medical Center's Turner Geriatric Clinic, 1010 Wall St, on the north side of the Huron River. Confidentiality is a priority. Newcomers are always welcome. Everyone brings their lunch or a dish to pass. The next meeting of GLOW is scheduled for Nov. 7. GLOW's Annual Christmas Party will be held on Dec. 12 (an exception to the usual the first Sat. meeting) at noon at a member's home. Because of the end-of-year holidays, the January meeting will be held on Jan. 9 rather than on Jan. 2. In February, the group will resume its regular schedule. For information, please cali 7642556.
The Lesbians of Color Collective has reorganized for the year and will be meeting every other Sunday–see Calendar. It is encouraging to know that the group is doing well.
"Hear Us Emerging Sisters" (HUES) is a multi-cultural, multi-lifestyles magazine produced mainly by women of color / non-dominant cultures. One of the goals of HUES is to provide opportunities for self-representation for those who are usually either misrepresented, negatively portrayed, or rendered invisible (e.g. people of color, lesbians, bisexual people, gay men, and differently-abled persons) by "the media." The second issue will appear in early December. Submit writing, art, and expressions for future issues to HUES, 3909 Michigan Union (MSA Office), Ann Arbor MI 48109-1349. Written work must be submitted on Macintosh disk. For information, call 747-7462.

Gay Liberation Front's Purpose is to provide information, counseling, and related social services for people concerned about sexual orientation. We maintain a hotline for crisis intervention, peer counseling and referral. We help provide factual information to offset prejudice and misinformation about Lesbians, Gay men, and Bisexual people. We work to obtain human and civil rights for all, regardless of sexual orientation. We help organize groups for Lesbians, Gay men, and Bisexual people and are a link to other community groups.
Community Services include: a Hotline for crisis intervention, peer counseling, referral. Education: workshops and conferences on concerns of Lesbians, Gay men, and Bisexual people with an emphasis on how people in the "helping professions" and "teaching professions" can work positively with clients, patients, & students who are Lesbians, Gay men, and Bisexual people.
Gay Liberation Front Meetings vary according to purpose; we do most of our work in subcommittees (counseling, groupwork, education, civil rights). Call for time and place. Gay Liberation Front includes U-M students, staff, faculty and people from the larger communities.
