Candace Gingrich Speaks Out


Candace Gingrich, 1995 spokesperson for the Human Rights 
Campaign Fund's National Coming Out Day, will speak at 8 p.m. 
Wednesday, Oct. 18, in the Memorial Union Sun Room. Her talk 
is titled "Family Matters."

The half-sister of Republican Speaker of the House Newt 
Gingrich, Candace Gingrich talks about several prominent, 
conservative families that have gay and lesbian members. She 
says the families' anti-gay stance is hypocritical. 

While her brother is said to be personally supportive of her 
choice, Gingrich said she wants her brother -- and others -- 
to understand that tolerance is not enough and that 
discrimination against gays and lesbians is wrong.

National Coming Out Day is being observed on campus Oct. 11.
