Our Past Presidents
Lawrence M. Schall, J.D., Ed.D. was elected the 16th president of Oglethorpe University in March 2005 and assumed office on June 23, 2005.
Under Schall's leadership, Oglethorpe has seen a dramatic rise in enrollment and philanthropic giving. In fall 2013, Oglethorpe opened the new $16 million Turner Lynch Campus Center, home to the A_LAB, or Atlanta Laboratory for Learning, further linking Oglethorpe students and the community. The A_LAB houses three learning centers: the Center for Civic Engagement, opened in 2007, which focuses on volunteer, curricular, civic and cultural projects in Atlanta and beyond; the Center for Professional Development, opened in 2011, which provides work-based internships for every Oglethorpe student in their field of study; and the Center for Global Education, opened in fall 2013, which connects Oglethorpe students with the global community. The A_LAB also helps to join students and faculty with research, scholarship and learning on campus, in Atlanta and around the globe.
Born in Manhattan, Schall grew up in Wilmington, Del. He graduated with honors from Swarthmore College in 1975 and went on to earn his Juris Doctor degree in 1978 from the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
Schall practiced law in Philadelphia as a trial attorney, specializing in civil rights litigation. In 1990, he returned to his alma mater, Swarthmore College, and served for 15 years, leaving as Vice President for Administration.
While at Swarthmore, Schall was awarded a doctorate in higher education from the University of Pennsylvania, and served as Director of the Executive Doctorate Program in Higher Education as well as an adjunct faculty member of Penn's Graduate School of Education.
Schall currently serves as Board Chair for the East Lake Foundation, and on the boards of the Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE) and the Lovett School.

US News & World Report Recognizes Ringling College of Art & Design
August 26, 2009 - US News & World Report's "2010 Edition of America's Best Colleges" recognizes Ringling College of Art & Design as one of the nation's most unique art and design schools and, for the first time, chooses an art and design college to be profiled as part of the Best Colleges Guide "Roadtrips" feature story.
U.S. News reporters visited the Ringling College campus for several days this past spring as part of their cross-country journey. The crew documented the collegiate spirit at four colleges in each of three unique areas of the country: Colorado, Florida, and Chicago.
While at Ringling, they were hosted on a whirlwind tour which included John Williams and Vicky Randall's famous CORE "boat building" project, a glimpse into senior Fine Arts studios and Patrick Lindhart's Bookmaking class, a peek into the Design Center, lunch with student leaders, vists to the Bayou Studios, CA and Game Art & Design Labs, Institutional Technology, the Ulla Searing Student Center and Center for Career Services, and events such as the GIC Portfolio Night and Photography & Digital Imaging Senior Thesis Exhibition. They interviewed the President, longtime faculty member and Ringling College alumnus Fiore Custode and a dozen more faculty, staff and students.
The final story is featured in print on page 32 of the guide and photos of Ringling are also published on pages 73 and 124. The online version includes the story and photos along with five 2009 senior thesis animations selected by U.S. News to be part of their "College Student Spotlight."

By Robert L WarrenEast Carbon City
According to government's own records you are 62 times or 6200 percent more likely to be killed by FDA approved prescription drugs than a homicidal shooter, more likely to be killed by medical malpractice and more likely to be killed by medical fraud. (See NaturalNews.com or aweser.com/page/11746.html)
One of the major topics of today is health care and the exorbitant costs Americans are forced to pay by government protected policies. Prices will continue to increase beginning 2013 and continue thru 2016 until they reach the projected 40 percent mark, if ObamaCare remains in force.
One local greedy doctor charges $350.00 per hour for a office call plus a $25.00 co-pay, and additional labs costs $487.00. On top of that some doctors receive financial kick-backs, bribes, preps, exotic vacations, travel and meals from the drug companies (Pfizer-Merck-Astraz-Neca-GlaxoSmithKline) to prescribe their products. The mentioned doctor's misdiagnosis in this case resulted in a major heart attack requiring four by-passes. The doctor went on, free to continue misdiagnosis of other patients. The patient and insurance companies are looking at $95,496.00 cost plus patient portion exceeding $12,000.00 and growing.
One mentioned pharisaical company (GlaxoSmithKline) pleaded guilty paying greedy doctors and paid the government a $3 billion settlement in 2012. These costs are passed on to the consumer. That's you and me. And yet, the medical establishment continues to kill 783,936 people per year thru medical errors, infections, surgery, unnecessary procedures, bedsores, and drug effects.
You do the math, Homicidal Shooters kill 12,000 people a year, the medical establishment kills 783,936 a year. Instead of Gun-Control we need to pass legislation on Doctor Control.

President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney engaged in a nationally televised foreign policy debate Monday, October 22, and agreed to continue aggressive American military involvement around the world. According to an instant poll by CNN, viewers gave a narrow 48-40 percent victory in the Lynn University debate to President Obama.
The debate took place just one day in advance of a third-party debate by four peace candidates, Libertarian Gary Johnson, Constitution Party nominee Virgil Goode, Green Party nominee Jill Stein and Justice Party nominee Rocky Anderson, which is not expected to be televised by any commercial U.S. station (C-SPAN, Al Jazeera, and Russia Television are expected to broadcast the third-party debate). All four third-party peace candidates agree on ending the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq (which is now largely waged by U.S. troops), stopping a possible war against Iran, closing Guantanamo Bay prison, and other issues. The Obama-Romney debate was televised by most domestic commercial news channels.
Obama and Romney both agreed to edge up to war with Iran and to continue military and drone strikes across the Middle East. Obama started off the debate with the claim that "my first job as commander in chief, Bob, is to keep the American people safe. And that's what we've done over the last four years." He added that part of keeping America safe is to "project military power overseas."
The United States government spends more than 40 percent of all worldwide military spending. With the U.S. enjoying a major technology edge in the military weaponry, neither candidate made a case for efficiently defending the nation with less spending. Governor Romney pledged " I will not cut our military budget," and his campaign has put a floor on military spending at four percent of gross domestic spending, which is the level the United States spent during the Iraq and Afghan wars.

When Cuban-American Mariana Bobadilla starting making Cuba-style Bongo and Congo drums in 1954, no one could've predicted the legendary reputation he would soon earn for himself. While Bobadilla was already a well-known professional trumpet player and instrument repair man, it wouldn't take long before he would launch Gon Bops, and become a Latin percussion industry leader. In modern times, Gon Bops is renowned and respected worldwide thanks to their innovative designs. One of the earliest and most respected Latin instrument manufacturers, Gon Bops saw success from the get-go. Top players of the 50's and 60's like Poncho Sanchez and Francisco Aguabella would be soon gracing the world's biggest stages with Gon Bops equipment. In fact, the Gon Bops name could even be found at 1969's Woodstock festival.
From cowbells, congas and chimes to shakers, cajons, and even percussion accessories like bongo knee pads. You'll find no shortage of beautifully crafted instruments throughout the Gon Bops catalog. One of Gon Bops best sellers is their Rattleclap. Designed with metal and wood construction for maximum sustain, the Gon Bops Rattleclap produces a long rattling sound that's eerily similar to the original effect of a horse jaw bone. Overall, this rattleclap is responsive, versatile, and perfect for both percussion ensembles and orchestral settings. Another popular item is the Gon Bops Alex Acuna Signature Special Edition Cajon. Handcrafted by Alex Acuna himself, this authentically Peruvian cajon offers an ideal amount of buzz and resonance, and works exceptionally well for both flamenco and modern applications.
Using only the finest materials, Mariana Bobadilla took great pride and passion in every drum and percussion apparatus he constructed, and today's manufacturers at Gon Bops have never forgotten this. For this reason, you can be sure that every Gon Bops instrument played has been brought to life through the same love and adoration for Latin music as they were over 60 years ago.

Orange County deputies are investigating a homicide after a body was found off International Drive.
Deputies said that a man's body was discovered late Sunday in a wooded area owned by Marriott in the 11600 block of International Drive, not far from SeaWorld Orlando.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office said on Monday that the death was ruled a homicide.
The victim, who has not been identified, was a Hispanic man, about 5 feet 7 inches tall and 175 pounds. Deputies said he had a surgical scar on his stomach.
Jeff Mahanes and his 17-year-old son, who are vacationing in Central Florida from North Carolina, found the body as they were walking to a nearby area to go fishing.
"It was a little shocking, not to say the least. Not something you expect to see, of course," says Mahanes.
Authorities have not said how long they believe the body was there.
Anyone with information about the death is urged to call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.

Women's Basketball Opens 2013-14 at Drake
OMAHA, Neb. - The Creighton women's basketball team opens the 2013-14 season with a familiar foe as the Bluejays head to Des Moines, Iowa to take on the Drake Bulldogs on Friday, Nov. 8 at 7 pm.
11/8: at Drake (0-0) - 7:00 p.m.
Radio: KZOT AM 1180 (www.1620thezone.com)

Twitter: @GoCreighton, @CreightonWBB
Creighton vs. Drake:
Drake leads the all-time series with the Bluejays, 37-24. Creighton, however, has won the last three meetings. Drake has claimed 21 of the 30 meetings in Des Moines.
Last Time vs. Drake (3-3-13):
W, 67-66 @ Creighton
Marissa Janning broke her own arena record with 29 points to lead the Jays to a 67-66 win over Drake. Down 39-30 early in the second half, Janning took the game over with 23 of the Jays 37 points in the period.
The two teams battled back and forth into the final minutes with Drake clinging to a slim 60-59 edge with 3:28 remaining. Creighton seized control behind a 6-0 run, courtesy of a layup from Sarah Nelson and two buckets by Janning, to take a 65-60 lead with 1:06 left. Moments later, Janning sealed the win with two free throws with 35 seconds remaining.
Last Time at Drake (2-2-13):
W, 98-71 @ Drake
The Bulldogs set the pace in the opening moments of the contest as Drake jumped out to a 7-1 lead by the 18:14 mark. Down 13-8 moments later, the Bluejays finally gained control of the game with a 14-2 run over the next four minutes to claim the lead, 22-15. Over the final 13 minutes of the opening period the Jays sank five more triples as Creighton took a 56-42 lead into the break. The 56-point outburst was the most points scored by the Jays in a half since putting up 59 points at Siena on March 22, 2003.
Scouting the Bulldogs (0-0)
Creighton opens the 2013-14 season with a familar foe in Drake. The Bulldogs and Bluejays offered two intense battles last season, with Creighton taking both contests.
Both teams return four starters from last season. Drake's offense primarily runs on the play of junior Kyndal Clark, who led the Bulldogs with 14.6 ppg last season. She also distributed a team-high 111 assists.
The production of post players Morgan Reid and Ashley Bartow will play a significant role in Friday's contest. This duo averaged 12.2 rebounds per game last season and Reid has always played some of her most inspired ball against the Bluejays.

Season Opening Information
Exhibition Recap:
Creighton 77, Fort Hays State 47
As expected both teams struggled early as Creighton held a 3-2 edge at the first media timeout (15:25). Creighton began to find its rhythm over the next five mintues, thanks in large part to freshman Brianna Rollerson. The Omaha native scored eight straight Bluejay points to make it 11-4, draining all four shots she took. Senior Sarah Nelson extended the lead to double-digits with a three-ball from the corner (14-4) with 9:42 remaining. The Bluejays pushed their lead to as much as 14 points (22-8) in the opening half, but Fort Hays State scored the final six points to make it 26-19 at the break.
The second half belonged to sophomore Marissa Janning as she scored 19 of her game-high 21 in the final 20 minutes. Janning was 3-for-4 from behind the arc in the second half and also picked up three assists. Janning's 21 points led all scorers, while Rollerson finished with 16 points.

Her state meet performances in the 1-meter (204.75 points) and 3-meter (199.5) earned All-American honors in both events.
Sasha Hedberg
Men's Tennis
The freshman from Oxnard High not only rose to the No. 1 singles position for the defending state champion Pirates, he backed up that confidence with a WSC team title and a run to the state singles Final Four. Hedberg defeated a pair of seeds from Northern California before falling to the South's top seed, 6-2, 7-5, in the semifinals. Also reached the state doubles quarterfinals with partner Dylan Cleary.

Brianna Panapa
The St. Bonaventure High product memorably swept all four throwing events to guide the Pirates to victory during the six-way meet at Ventura on April 1.

By TOM MCCOURTSun Advocate Columnist
Sometimes things happen that demand a response. Such was the case recently when William Arkin, a columnist for the Washington Post, wrote an article entitled, "The Troops Also Need to Support the American People." When I heard about it, I went to the Internet to check it out and I was stunned by what I read. I haven't seen such hate for the military since Vietnam.
In the article, Arkin was responding to an NBC report where several American soldiers expressed frustration at the negative press the war is receiving at home. Those interviewed supported the war, and talked freely about it. In responding to the story, Arkin made it clear that he believes our troops should keep their mouths shut and not comment about those who criticize the war. He says our soldiers are "young and naive" and their commanders should "take them aside and explain that they have no business disapproving of the American people." When he uses the term, "American people," I presume he is referring to himself and other left-wing journalists. There are lots of American people out there, and most of us are not offended when our soldiers support a war they have pledged their lives to fight.
Arkin goes on to call our all-volunteer military people "mercenaries" who fight only for pay. He hates this country, and it is beyond him to understand that other people might actually join the armed forces out of patriotism and a righteous desire to defend the nation. Concepts like honor, duty, and self-sacrifice are foreign to people like Arkin.
The man implies that our soldiers might have things too good. He says we provide our soldiers with a "decent wage, housing and medical care, and vast social support systems." We "take care of their families" and ship "obscene amenities" to the war zone for their comfort. By "obscene amenities," I assume he means cafeteria chow, a cot to sleep on, and maybe a TV for the mess hall? He ended his piece by saying that, "America needs to ponder what it is we owe those in uniform," the inference being, that we give them more than they deserve. This guy should write speeches for John Kerry.
What do we owe those in uniform? First of all, we owe them our respect and our undying gratitude. They are volunteers who pledge their very lives to defend us. They are the best, brightest, and bravest of our young men and women. They selflessly commit to face the horrors of war so that we at home don't have to.
We owe them the same rights they fight to defend. Military discipline doesn't trump the first amendment, or any of the others. There are high standards of military conduct, to be sure, but soldiers have the same rights as you and I.
We owe the military our full support. Congressional resolutions condemning the war give aid and comfort to our enemy and fit the legal definition of treason. Can you even imagine an anti-war resolution happening during World War II? How far have we digressed as a nation? And to claim to support the troops while passing resolutions that hurt the war effort is blatant hypocrisy. Let those who "voted for the war before they voted against it," stand up and vote to bring the troops home tomorrow if they really believe it should be done. If they don't have the guts to do that, offer a better plan, or shut up and sit down.
We owe our soldiers a living wage and a decent benefit package. Some military benefits are not as good as they used to be. Soldiers must pay for part of their family's medical care now. We owe soldiers a good retirement plan and lifetime medical support. It's the least we can do for people who pledge their lives and careers to defend us.
We owe a fallen soldier's family the same concern and support offered to those who were victims of 9-11. Utah recently passed a bill to give free college tuition to the families of fallen soldiers. It is a good step in the right direction.
And so, Mr. Arkin is right. It is time for us to ponder what we owe those in uniform. I think we owe them more than what Arkin and the new political majority in congress is giving them.

WEST CARTHAGE Mayor Scott M. Burto revisited the issue of allowing maple trees on village property to be tapped during the village Board of Trustees meeting Monday night.
Adam Smith inquired about tapping the maple trees in the village-owned area between the sidewalk and road at the Nov. 13 board meeting.
The mayor said Monday he researched the matter and according to village attorney Lawrence D. Hasseler, it would be allowable if the person tapping had insurance and paid the village or offered in-kind services.
With that knowledge, Mr. Burto said he would be in favor of the proposal.
Trustee Scott J. Sullivan also voiced support as long as its not illegal. The board tabled it because Trustee David Z. Rounds opposed it and the other trustees, Robert J. Peluso and Michael J. Bigness, were absent.
Im completely against it, Mr. Rounds said. Were heading for big trouble down the road.
If tree tapping is approved, allowing it to occur would have to go out to bid, the mayor said, because sap could be considered village property.
Mr. Smith said after the meeting that three years ago, former Trustee Gerald A. Caldwell Jr. gave him permission to tap. He tapped again last year but said he was then told it was not permissible. According to Mr. Smith, after Mr. Caldwells death, the board said Mr. Caldwell did not have the authority to allow it and because Mr. Smith is a village Department of Public Works employee it was inappropriate. Since last spring, Mr. Smith said, he has been pursuing official permission to harvest the sap.
Mr. Smith, a New York State Maple Producers member, has a sugar shanty at his Lathrop Street home that produces about 15 gallons of syrup annually.
Graciously, village residents have allowed me to tap trees and I give them syrup in thanks, said Mr. Smith, a SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry graduate. Im never going to see a profit. I not looking for a profit. Im not in it for the money. Its a hobby and I do it for educational purposes.
Having made syrup most of his life, Mr. Smith said he opens his shanty to the public and teaches children how syrup is made.
He added he would like to do more, such as provide a free pancake breakfast with his product for senior citizens in the villages housing units, but cant get over the hurdle of tapping trees to have the opportunity to go to the next step.
Mr. Smith added at the meeting that in five years or so, it would be a moot point because the village is cutting down the maple trees each year.

The residents of Carbon and Emery counties are still waiting for word on the condition of miners trapped in Genwal coal mine near Huntington since Monday morning.
At approximately 3:47 a.m. on Aug. 6, a call came into the Emery County Sheriff's Office dispatch center reporting that an earthquake had occurred and the epicenter was in the vicinity of the UtahAmerican Energy Inc. mining operation in Crandall Canyon.
At approximately 3:51 a.m., Crandall Canyon reported damage at the mine, which turned out to be a cave-in trapping six workers underground.
An apparent dispute surfaced almost immediatelly between the coal company and University of Utah as to whether the collapse of the mine caused the seismic activity or an earthquake triggered the process.
But the matter was of little concern to rescue teams on Monday and Tuesday as the members tried to figure out ways to get to the miners.
The rescue approach of getting drilling rigs over the top of the section of the mine where the workers are believed to be trapped was put into action Monday as bulldozers cut roads into the area. In addition, a helicopter brought in a smaller drill rig to start a hole that could be used to contact the miners and provide supplies to the trapped underground workers.
The road will allow a large rig into the area to bore a bigger hole to reach the section of mine where the men are thought to be trapped.
At the same time, questions about safety in the mine were constantly raised in press conferences conducted almost every two hours at the command center in Huntington Canyon.
Reports carried by media outlets have indicated that the United States Mine Safety and Health Administration has issued 1,100 written MSHA regulation violations to Crandall Canyon in the last 12 years.
During a press conference on Tuesday, assistant labor department secretary Richard Stickler explained that the number of MSHA violations a mine has received can be skewed by the operation's size and several different factors.
"Some mines might have 700 violations a year, while others might only have 40 to 50," said Stickler. "That could be a function of a more dangerous mine or it could be that the one with 40 to 50 is a small mine with an inspector that is only there part of the time while the one with 700 is a mine with two or three full time inspectors. This mine actually has an accident frequency rate 50 percent less than what the national average is."
A second matter coming under question involved what type of mining was being done at Candall Canyon.
There are a number of methods to back out of a mine and remove the last bits of coal. One method is retreat mining, which is considered the most dangerous process in some quarters.
Several news reports indicated that retreat mining was the method of coal extraction that was taking place at Crandall Canyon. But the reports have not been confirmed.
Rescue teams tried overnight on Tuesday to use alternate tunnels to reach the six men, but debris halted the attempt.
The drilling rig started working on the top of the mountain late Tuesday and Stickler said it would take at least three days to reach the miners. On Wednesday, reports indicated that the rig had nearly reached the 500 foot mark, leaving about 1,000 feet of rock to drill through.
The miners' families have been moved to Canyon View Junior High and the building is secured by Emery deputies.
At press time, the names of the trapped miners had not been officially released, But the Sun Advocate learned on Tuesday from the Mexican consulate and a Mexico City newspaper that three of the men are Mexican nationals.
Four men who escaped from the mine on Monday have been talking with officials about the incident. Little information has been released to the media.
The area around the mine has been secured since the collapse. But on Wednesday, a few reporters were allowed to enter the area and venture close to the mine portal.
Shocked by the tragedy, Castle Valley residents have volunteered assistance and religious services have been conducted, including a Wednesday night prayer vigil at Price Chapel. On Thursday at 11 a.m., Notre Dame Catholic Church will host a Mass led by Bishop Wester of Salt Lake at Mission San Rafael near Huntington. On Sunday, Liberty Faith Fellowship in Price will devote an entire service to the tragic situation.

La Festa Del Pi De Centelles
'Galejadors' pull a rope tied to the selected pine tree as it is... News PhotoArts Culture and Entertainment,Barcelona - Spain,Cultures,Environmental Issues,Horizontal,Human Interest,Pulling,Rope,Spain,Tree,VillagePhotographer David RamosCollection: Getty Images News 2012 Getty ImagesBARCELONA, SPAIN - DECEMBER 30: 'Galejadors' pull a rope tied to the selected pine tree as it is felled during 'La Festa del Pi' (The Festival of the Pine) in the village of Centelles on December 30, 2012 in Barcelona, Spain. Early in the morning men and women born in Centelles, who are named 'Galejadors' wear their traditional costume with the Catalan red hat known as 'Barretina' and carry their shooting muskets as they walk into the forest to chop down a pine tree, load it on an ox cart and take it to the church in the village. There the pine tree is decorated with five bouquets of apples and wafers and hung inside a church until January 6. The tradition has been documented since 1751 and it is believed its origins are related to the trees and the pagan worship of fertilization related the winter solstice.

Castle Valley residents Blaine Jensen of Cleveland and Doreen McCourt of Wellington compete at the team roping events at the National Finals Rodeo at Las Vegas, Nev.
The pair joined forces to beat 516 other sets of team ropers competing at the national finals last October.
On the ninth preliminary to the grand event, 518 roping teams competed for $88,000 in prize money.
Jensen and McCourt finished second in the preliminary round.
The pair split $7,600 and were awarded trophy buckles for their efforts.
Jensen and McCourt missed qualifying for the big event and a chance to compete for $319,000 by a single throw of the rope.
Jensen and McCourt expect to participate in team roping competitions during 2006.

1.Coming Out
Sponsor: Staying Negative
What is Coming Out:
To understand what people mean by 'coming out', you first need to know about what is meant by 'sexual orientation', and the different views people have.
- Our sexual orientation is about who we are attracted to sexually and emotionally.
- To be same-sex attracted means being sexually and emotionally attracted to people of your own sex, as well as seeing yourself as same-sex attracted.
- Some people believe that being same-sex attracted is a choice. Many others believe that people are born same-sex attracted.
There are different ways that people refer to same-sex attraction.
- 'Gay' often refers to men who are attracted to men, while 'lesbian' refers to women who are attracted to women. Some women call themselves gay as well.
- A person who is bisexual can be either a man or a woman who is sexually attracted to both sexes and who sees him or herself as being bisexual.
- The more general term for people who are attracted to their own sex is 'homosexual'. Young people usually prefer to say they are same-sex attracted, gay/lesbian or bisexual, rather than use the term homosexual, which many do not identify with.
- 'Straight' or 'heterosexual' people are sexually attracted to the opposite sex.
- In society, many people presume that everyone is heterosexual/straight.
- Some believe that everyone should be heterosexual/straight.
In some countries, homosexuality is illegal. In Australia same-sex attraction is legal.
In some countries/societies there is discrimination against and hate of same-sex attracted people.
- This is called homophobia (homophobia literally means fear of homosexuality).
- This can make it very difficult for many young people to tell others that they are same-sex attracted.
- A lot of people keep their sexuality secret because they're afraid of being harassed or discriminated against by their family, friends and others.
- Some young people find it difficult to deal with the issue of their sexuality and feel they can't tell anyone. This can make life very difficult for them because they're constantly hiding their sexuality.
In some societies there is growing acceptance and open-mindedness about differences in people. Differences are celebrated eg. multicultural and gay festivals.
- However, it can still be difficult to let others know about being same-sex attracted, because many people believe everyone is straight.
- Letting people know that you are same-sex attracted has become known as 'coming out of the closet', 'coming out', or 'going public'.
- It means coming out from hiding who you really are, and breaking free of some of the restraints placed on a person by society, by culture, by history and by law in some places.
'Coming out' is now a well known term, but it's still understood differently by different people.
Why Come Out:
We all have many parts to our personal identities. Our sexuality is a part of our personal identity; it's a part of who we are. Having to hide a part of our identity can lead to emotional pain and unhappiness.
When a part of our personal identity is damaged in some way, it can effect us on a number of levels, including our mental health, in dramatic ways. Here is an example.
- When a person has been employed in a job for some time, this forms part of his or her identity. People describe themselves by their job, eg. "I am a bank manager" or "I am a gardener". People losing jobs may therefore lose a part of their identity because they can no longer describe themselves by their job type. Many people in this situation can become depressed.
It can be like that for same-sex attracted people who feel forced to hide or suppress their sexuality. This may be one of the contributing factors that has led to higher suicide rates for same-sex attracted people compared to straight people.
Many same-sex attracted young people simply want to be themselves, to be able to relax around friends, to bring their partner home to family celebrations, to do everything that "straight" people take for granted. This means coming out or going public.
Some same-sex attracted young people come out simply because they're proud of who they are and want others to know.
Here are some other reasons young people have given for coming out:
- to meet other same-sex attracted people.
- to have more meaningful relationships with family and friends based on who I really am
- I wanted to be able to go to family celebrations with my partner
- I was spending too much energy telling half-truths, changing names of my dates when I spoke to my friends – I couldn't keep it up any more. I couldn't keep track of the lies and who I'd told what. It exhausted me.
- for my own self-respect and self-esteem
- to remove the barriers between my family and myself
- I needed support from my family when my partner was ill
- to give my family an opportunity to know the real me – all parts of me. I'm a pretty nice guy to get to know
- to make some changes in the world – the more people who get to know same-sex attracted people, well, the less homophobia will be around
- I'd had enough of hearing discriminatory gay jokes, negative comments and put-downs about same-sex attracted people from my father. My self-esteem and self-respect were eroding. I came out to protect my self-esteem.
Stages of Coming Out:
Some young people may never 'come out' to others or even to themselves – nor should they feel that they have to.
When young people decide to 'come out', they may experience some of the following stages.
- Many people say that first of all, they have to come out to themselves. This may mean having a feeling deep inside or perhaps a strong self-awareness about being same-sex attracted.
- Some people say they 'always knew' this about themselves.
- For others, accepting their sexuality, or coming out to themselves, comes later. It can take many years.
- Some same-sex attracted people may be aware of their sexual orientation as young as 10 or younger, but don't label themselves as same-sex attracted until about 14 years. They may not tell anyone until several years after that.
- After coming out to themselves, some people may then begin to want to come out to others in their lives, for their own reasons.
- People may come out first to other gay people, then family and friends. Many people say their mothers are the first family members they tell.
- Finally, a person may come out to the world. Some march in parades that celebrate sexual diversity. Others simply let the world know by living their normal lives in a positive and open way and feel comfortable not to have to lie.
No one has to go through these stages – no one has to feel as though they should come out to anybody or everybody. It is an individual choice.
Suggestions About Coming Out:
- Don't let anyone pressure you into going public. It's your life; it's your decision; it's your choice. You don't have to come out.
- Only tell someone if you have enough support to cope with their reaction. Not everyone will feel happy for you – some will try to tell you that you can change or even that you need therapy! Be prepared for any reaction.
- If someone rejects you, consider whether the relationship is really worthwhile. Don't lose sight of your own self-worth. Find ways to nurture yourself and your self-esteem.
- Be prepared that once you start to tell people, others might find out pretty quickly.
- Give others time to get used to the idea – after all, you've given yourself time (perhaps years) to get used to the idea.
- Be clear about your own feelings about being gay. If you are still having doubts, if you're feeling depressed or guilty, it may be best to get some support first, perhaps from a counselor or telephone support line. Believe in yourself first.
- Don't come out during an argument. Don't use your sexuality as a weapon to hurt or shock someone else.
- Timing, timing, timing! It's so important. Think about what's happening for the person you want to tell. If they're going through a lot of stress right now (eg. exams, loss of a job or they are just in a bad mood), it may be a good idea to delay. Make sure you have time to sit down quietly together.
- Don't do it when you've been drinking alcohol or using any other substance. It's better to be able to think clearly.
- Tell them that you're still the same person as you were yesterday – only now there's more honesty between you both.
- You could have some leaflets or other information handy to give to your parents or close others (in the Parenting and Child Health section, there is a topic for parents on Gay or lesbian sons and daughters). Perhaps a local support and information service for parents and friends would be useful – see our 'Resources' page.
- Think about the way you'll come out – it doesn't have to be a big confrontation with work mates and social friends. Just a comment, for instance, about what you're doing on the weekend with your partner lets people know, with the information sinking in gradually.
- Think about some of the things your parents or others might say, and have some replies ready, eg. they could ask, "how can you be sure?" or "lots of young people go through a phase like this at your age" or "you haven't tried hard enough with the opposite sex".
- If you decide to tell school friends, make sure that you can trust them and that they'll be supportive and open-minded.
- If you decide to tell a teacher or counsellor, check out their confidentiality policy first.
- If it's too hard to talk about to your parents, can you write a letter?
- Remember to also listen to what others have to say.
- Get support before coming out from a local support group or trusted friend or relative.
- Celebrate your coming out – what a huge step!
Here are some of the mixed reactions young people have faced when coming out to others.
- My family said they'd always suspected I was same-sex attracted, and were just waiting for me to tell them.
- My father is more accepting than my mother is. Most of my friends are straight and they're all accepting – some are curious.
- My mother said she was so pleased that I could share this with her.
- My 'hetero' friends are very accepting – we speak openly, they go to gay bars with me, invite me to parties with gay friends, some have even tried to match-make.
- My brother called me some terrible names – in fact we came to blows.
- I told my parents and they refused to talk about it. It was easier to move out of home.
- My grandfather has nothing to do with me anymore – I visit Nan when he's out at bowls.
- My parents didn't talk about it for four years after I told them, now they're coming around. They're talking openly about my life, becoming involved in my life and welcoming my gay friends into their home.
- I'm so relieved that I can now attend family weddings, funerals and celebrations with the woman I love, my life partner, with me as my best friend, lover and emotional support. Some family members know we're same-sex attracted, others probably assume we're friends. We don't feel a need to make a big deal out of it – those who count know and they love and accept us both for who we are.
- My family listened to what I had to say, then swept it all under the carpet, pretending I hadn't said a thing. I moved out of home, in fact, down to the city, so that I could live my life honestly in a new community, as a gay man.
- I told my identical twin brother I was gay – he said, 'me too'.
- My best friend gave me a huge hug and said she was glad I'd had the courage to tell her – I'd been afraid she'd think I was trying to come on to her.
- My friend was curious and wanted to know everything, like, how did I know I was gay, when did I realise, how old was I, and more. We talked for hours.
There are times when coming out can put you at risk.
- If you are young and live with your parents, and they pay for you to live (eg. food, clothes, schooling) and you think they might 'kick you out' of home or reject you, it may be best to choose not to come out just now. Wait until you are sure they'll be supportive or until you are old enough to look after yourself.
- If you can't wait, be sure you have someone to support you and somewhere to go in case they react badly. Check out some of our topics that might help you to get set up, such as Share Housing, Managing your finances, and Employment.
- If you are working in a place where your sexuality could put you at risk either of violence or discrimination in the job, it may be worth checking out laws and policies that protect your rights. Do you have the support to fight for your rights?
- If you are living in a place where you know your sexuality could put you at risk of extreme violence, for example in prison or in countries where homophobia can lead to violence, it would be wise to think very carefully about the pros and cons of coming out.
But, remember that is always help and support out there. Coming Out Australia can help you.

Chicken Jambalaya
Jambalaya is one of the easiest and best rice dishes that owes its origins to the traditional Cajun cooking of America.
Serves 2-3
This recipe is taken from The Delia Collection: Chicken.
First of all, heat the frying pan over a high heat and brown the pieces of chorizo sausage, without adding any fat, then remove them from the pan to a plate and set aside.
Then add a tablespoon of the oil and, when it's hot, brown the chicken and transfer that to the plate with the chorizo. Next, fry the onions for 2-3 minutes to brown them a little at the edges, then return the chorizo and chicken to the pan and add the garlic, celery, chilli and sliced pepper.

There was once a group of gentleman that preferred their coffee unusually dark-roasted – to the point that it was seen as burnt by most. These same gentlemen thought to themselves, "Well if we like it that way, there's sure to be others that'll like it!" And with that, they opened their first coffee shop. The rest of the coffee industry laughed at them, "There's no way you'll ever sell those burned beans; no one likes coffee like that."Turns out people did like those coffee beans. In fact, the coffee obsession hit America hard, and soon we were all craving expensive lattes, cappuccinos and macchiatos in demi, short, tall, grande, venti and trenta. Yes, that small coffee place was Starbucks, and has since revolutionized coffee as we know it today.
It may just be coffee, but we love it – morning, noon and night. Here are the perfect coffee shop supplies for your business.
