"One of the greatest difficulties to be resolved in the gay world is guilt feelings," one member of the front said. "There is the
feeling of insecurity in a world overly hostile to gays and then there is the great fear of how your sexual preferences react to your sexual preference.

The Moton Foundation was formed in 1982 to group of friends and associates of the late Robert R. Moton, former president of Tusks ee institute.
The ideal situation they sought was one in which both partners worked half time to share in the effort of rescuing the structure of their marriage
Zingz told of their plans to join another couple in an extended family living situation. Zingz said they felt a "sense of mutual affection" and that advantages they had anticipated included being able to do away with one car, saving on electricity and utility bills. They also provided children of both couples a multiplicity of models.
ZINGG SAID the couples had not anticipated shared sex but "were open to what might be possible."
A problem in this situation, Zinga said, might be the fact that for the most part society is not interested in defining the defended on the basis that Christianity could be used in other forms, and this was one form.
"This is one way we can truly love thy neighbor' or celebrate creation," Zingg said.
Howard said she had become a member of the group management or communal system after being involved with a group relation situation.
"I felt a closeness to this group although my husband didn't share my experiences that time. Howard has lived for two years in communes in Lawrence and Chicago. She can communicate with the communities "can be bad situations."

Howard said she believed that a more serious attitude was prevalent in a community if the women's movement was women's movement. She said that though there could be emotional security among women, they could feel closer if by the women's movement.
Society's negative attitude, guilt feelings stemming from religious backgrounds or pressures from parents were visible problems or disadvantages to these situations.

Charles Kiesler, professor and chair of developmental psychology, will leave today for Washington D.C. to participate in a National Science Foundation Grant.

Kiesler said one grant proposal from KU would be reviewed by the board at this meeting. Because of his position at KU, he would not be able to participate in discussion of that proposal.
Kiesler is now serving the second year of his two year term on the panel.
"However, there is still the gay-hate scene. When you admit to yourself that you are gay, you must also recognize the fact that most straight people will fear you and need to avoid and fear
One member suggested bisexuality as an alternative to being either gay or straight. The other member said it was "absurd, because it is an either-or situation," but bisexuality is the "sex of the opposite sex." This contended that there was a difference between being bisexual and trying to be just for the sake of convenience.
The forum agreed that homosexuals are tired of being "corralled into a stereotype relationship with other people."
The gays have had to "create their own culture apart from straight society," one member said.
The Gay Lib forum was the second in a series of forums arranged to discuss "Confronting Alternatives in Sexuality."
