The woman that was head of the YWCA, maybe 5 years ago, was a lesbian, one of the NOW gals.
No, of course, I can't think of her name.
It upset me at the time, as 60 years ago, we thought it to be a safe place for children.
I am getting tired of telling myself that things are different in 2004, I want my children to be safe.
In Israel they fear the next stranger has a belt bomb on.
Here we have to fear gays and rape of our babies.
Maybe a few new laws to allow the mothers to issue the punishment to those that hurt our children.
Those creeps wanted to look like women, well I could help them by removing the male parts, with a dull knife.
I go with the thought that the entire scene was planned.
Even at my age, I would not have chosen the YMCA, for an adult party.
Serving as president of the NOW from 1991 to 2001, Ms. Patricia Ireland led the largest, most visible and most successful organization of feminist activists in the United States.
Ms. Ireland's major contributions included organizing NOW activists to defend women's access to abortion, elect a record number of women to political office, work more closely in coalitions with other social justice and civil rights groups, and champion international feminist issues.
On October 14, Ms. Ireland will lead a discussion on "Using your Power in the 2004 Election", hosted by the YWCA of Troy-Cohoes.
