GAY HOLOCAUST EXHIBIT COMING
TO OKC? Back in November, GayOKC.com featured
headlines about the exhibit "Nazi
Persecution of Homosexuals, 1933-1945" now on
display at the United States Holocaust Memorial
Museum in Washington, DC. That exhibit runs through
March and will go on tour starting in May. When I
learned the exhibit was going on tour I wrote to the
USHMM asking for information on bringing the exhibit
to Oklahoma City. A few days later, I received an
email from Lauren Kaminsky, Traveling Exhibitions
Director at the Museum with that information. Since
then I have spoken with the Oklahoma Gay and Lesbian
Political Caucus and the Cimarron Alliance Foundation
about getting involved in an effort to bring this
exhibit to OKC. If anything develops, I will post it
on GayOKC.com.

CIMARRON
ALLIANCE GROUP AT INAUGURAL BALL Well, how's this for a milestone in the
history of OKC's GLBT Community? The Cimarron
Alliance Group was invited to Gov
Henry's Inaugural Ball Monday evening, and, as you
can see, they accepted the invitation. Yes, that's Ed
Kromer and Joe Quigley - both Cimarron Alliance Group
board members - dancing AT the ball. The music was
live, of course, and the band was backing up a singer
who turned out to be none another than Anita
Bryant. Yes, THAT Anita Bryant! I kid you not!!!!!!!!
Thanks to Joe Quigley for the pics - I only wish I
had time to process and upload all of them tonight.
Several CAG board members attended the ball.
Hopefully they'll be posted on the Cimarron
Alliance Group website.

WEBSITE GETS NEW ADDRESS With
the new year of 2003, OGLPC (Oklahoma Gay &
Lesbian Political Caucus) wishes to announce our
second generation web page at http://www.oglpc.org.
Having our own domain name and a new internet host
will allow OGLPC to respond to its members needs and
questions with the latest accurate information
concerning the gay/lesbian political scene in
Oklahoma and nationally.
New and re-newing members will be able to make their
contributions on-line, to send e-mails with questions
and comments, and to find links connecting them with
many local, state, and national government offices,
as well as gay/lesbian civil rights organizations
across the country.
OGLPC's new webmaster, Philippe Beaudette, brings
talent, flair, and commitment to gay/lesbian rights
activism as vice-president/president-elect of Church
of the Open Arms, a United Churches of Christ (UCC)
congregation in Oklahoma City.
OGLPC wishes to thank Rob Abiera, our former
webmaster, for his pioneering work in establishing
the first release of our website. Mr. Abiera
found it necessary to devote his entire attention to
his own website, GayOKC.com, and he remains a loyal
member of OGLPC.
Please take a moment to change your bookmarks
and explore OGLPC's new website at http://www.oglpc.org and get acquainted with the
