      If
      we
      reach
      just
      one
      gay-
     
     
      basher
      and
      make
      him
      or
     
     
      her
      re-think
      how
      he
      or
     
     
      she
      behaves
      towards
     
     
      other
      human
      beings,
      we
     
     
      have
      at
      least
      partially
     
     
      fulfilled
      our
      purpose.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      new
      light.
      This
      may
      be
      obvious
      to
      some
      and
      a
      very
      simplistic
      idea
      to
     
     
      others,
      but
      many
      do
      not
      even
      notice
      the
      effect
      that
      reading
      has
      on
      them.
     
    

    
     
      This
      educational
      value,
      in
      my
      opinion,
      justifies
      printing
      a
      GLBQ
     
     
      supplement.
      I
      feel
      it
      is
      necessary
      to
      take
      the
      time
      out
      to
      think
      about
      why
     
     
      this
      minority
      has
      to
      struggle
      in
      our
      society.
      If
      we
      reach
      just
      one
      gay-basher
     
     
      and
      make
      him
      or
      her
      re-think
      how
      he
      or
      she
      behaves
      towards
      other
      human
     
     
      beings,
      we
      have
      at
      least
      partially
      fulfilled
      our
      purpose.
     
    

    
     
      The
      newspaper
      is
      an
      educational
      tool,
      and
      we
      should
      use
      it
      in
      an
     
     
      accountable
      way.
      Some
      people
      suggested
      that
      we
      pay
      more
      attention
      to
      other
     
     
      minorities,
      such
      as
      Asians;
      or,
      other
      important
      issues
      that
      students
      face,
      such
      as
     
     
      living
      on
      a
      low
      budget.
      By
      publishing
      a
      GLBQ
      supplement
      we
      are
      not
      saying
     
     
      that
      this
      minority
      is
      more
      important
      than
      any
      other
      minority
      or
      issue,
      we
      are
     
     
      saying
      that
      this
      is
      just
      one
      of
      the
      many
      important
      issues
      that
      we,
      as
      students,
      have
     
     
      to
      face.
     
    

    
     
      The
      X-Press
      is
      willing
      to
      publish
      stories
      about
      the
      struggles
      that
      other
      minorities
     
     
      face
      everyday;
      and
      we
      are
      willing
      to
      research
      and
      report
      on
      any
      issue
      that
      students
     
     
      feel
      is
      important.
      Just
      don’t
      put
      us
      down
      for
      practising
      our
      right
      to
      the
      freedom
      of
      the
     
     
      press.
      Don’t
      tell
      us
      that
      we
      are
      wasting
      paper
      because
      an
      issue
      is
      not
      important
      to
      you,
     
     
      because
      it
      may
      be
      important
      to
      the
      person
      sitting
      next
      to
      you,
      and
      you
      cannot
      take
      that
     
     
      away
      from
      anyone.
     
    

    
     
      So
      please,
      keep
      an
      open
      mind
      as
      you
      read,
      form
      your
      own
      opinions,
      and
      tell
      us
      what
     
     
      you
      think.
      Let
      us
      know
      if
      there
      is
      an
      issue
      that
      you
      would
      like
      us
      to

      We

      The

      way
      for
