<DIV>Recently, you may have received a message from Thomas Paul of
Germany. The message was an invitation to join his "Gay Caller and Dancer
Forum."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'd like to share a little information to explain what's going on.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thomas, a GCA member, is a 30 year-old out gay caller. (He's been
calling for 15 years!)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The organization that oversees European Square Dancing allows for NO
specialty clubs - no seniors clubs, no youth groups, and no gay groups.
Square dancing is for all people and all people are welcome to dance.
Thomas' being out of the closet has not caused his busy calling schedule to
suffer. (Don't we all wish we lived in that world!)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thomas' forum is an attempt for gay dancers and callers to communicate in
ways they may not be able to do inside their home clubs.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Those interested in joining can go to <A
href="http://gay.dopaso.de">http://gay.dopaso.de</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm writing as a GCA member and not as President. Do not feel any
obligation to participate in this forum.</DIV>
