Oregon anti-gay measure
has some students shaken
*>; fcorvallis. Ore. (CPS)—Amy
/ Mill ward is worried about her
J future. ssj
V She's is a sophomore at Ore¬
gon State University, and she re¬
lies on a president's scholarship to
pay for her tuition. But she's afraid
* that if Ballot Measure 9 passes in
the upcoming general election,
classifying homosexuality as a
perversion in Oregon, the scholar¬
ship could be taken away from
her:
"All they'd have to do is see
that I'm active in LGB A [Lesbian,
Gay and Bisexual Alliance], and
they oould revoke my scholarship.
I couldn't go to school without it...
I feel really vulnerable," Millward
said.
Corvallis already isn't the easi¬
est place to be homosexual, she
says. If Measure 9 passes, she
believes hostility toward her will
become more overt—that she
could be harassed and have no
legal protection.
Jeff Kubler is worried about his
children's futures.
He has three children—all pre -
school age. And he's concerned
that there's a growing movement
in the schools to present homo¬
sexuality as a normal lifestyle.
"Society needs to have equal
right for all, special rights for none.
I think to elevate homosexuality to
... protected status is wrong—
especially in the education of our
children,'' Kubler says.
He and his family have lived in
Corvallis for about five years, and
he's been in the Oregon Citizens
Alliance for three to four years.
He supports Measure 9.
Measure 9 is a proposed state
constitutional amendment that
would require the government to
recognize homosexuality as "ab¬
normal, wrong, unnatural and
perverse."
With that classification, the
♦measure would also keep the
government from using state
money to "piomote, encourage or
facilitate" homosexuality. Sexual
preference could not be recognized
or protected in state law or public
institutions.
The language of the measure is
a major source of disagreement
between campaigning groups. The
problem lies in the definition of
"promote, encourage .and facili¬
tate." Where would the govern¬
ment have to draw tlie line if the
proposal passes?
Those opposing Measure 9 say
it would present a major abridge¬
ment of civil rights. Groups like

"When you're always the first,
you have to fight the battle. It's
like a whole group is on your
shoulders," Perez said. "It's been
real tough. [Ethnic studies] was
not even accepted as an academic
field at that time [1971] even
though I graduated from S tanford.
It hasn't been that long. There's
something to be said about the
issue of minority women but also
about women in general." s
At the About Kids and Fami¬
lies conference, Perez's talk was
titled, "El Papel de la Familia en el
Desarrollo" or "The Role of the
Family in the Development of the
Child." The discussion centered
on learning styles and parent par¬
ticipation. Perez has done exten¬
sive research in the area of cultural
and family values in minority
children's education. Perez
stressed the importance of helping
parents value what they provide
for their children.
"Sometimes Mexican Ameri-
^^^''♦' '
can parents don't value what they
provide for their children because
they are not highly educated. I try
to get them to focus on the positive
aspects ofthe culture. I also try to
point out that cultural things they
do with the family can clash at
school because school norms might
be different," Perez said.
Perez explained that Mexican
American children value coopera¬
tion vs. competition. They are
used to working together as a
family unit and when they get to
school working on their own and
competing is completely foreign.
' "I try to get them to understand
what the pitfalls might be," Perez
said. "Unless the parent is very
strong and positive, the child can
lose hope."
Perez spoke highly of the con¬
ference, saying that it made a real
effort to reach Spanish speaking
parents which, she said, is not*
typical of most conferences.
"I applaud that kind of out¬
reach," Perez said. "I thought it
was an excellent conference."
