LOCAL/S TATE The Michigan Daily - Thursday, February 12, 1998 - 7A SIN.DEPTH Continued from Page 1A said gays faced similar problems. "I was walking down the street one day when I was a student here and a bunch of football players came up to me," said Toy, who served as co-direc- tor of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Affairs Office since its founding in 1971. "They began harass- ing me and calling me a 'faggot'- and Shat kind of thing happened lots of times to gays." But verbal harassment wasn't the only concern for members of the gay community. Before the ordinance was passed, Toy said, violence against gays was not uncommon and local restaurant and store owners often turned gays away at the door. During this time period, University administrators were unsympathetic to the roblems of gay community members. WFormer University President Robben Flerping told The Michigan Daily in May of 1970 that he would not allow Ann Arbor's Gay Liberation Front to hold its statewide conference in University buildings. "Any conference on the subject of homosexuality ought ... to be clearly educational in nature," Fleming told the Daily. Because the GLF "does not qual- fy under these criteria, (University) acilities will not be available" Toy said that with the passing of the human rights ordinance, minorities began receiving better treatment. Black and gay residents now had legal means by which they could assert their rights, and overt discrimination slowly became taboo, he said. A crossroads Does Ann Arbor deserve its reputa- tion as a liberal, progressive town? The verdict is mixed, and minority leaders concur that prejudice in Ann Arbor is far from non-existent. "The faculty and staff, to a great extent, haven't bought into the adminis- tration goal of integrating the University," said Chemistry Prof. Billy Jo Evans. "1 don't think there's a single black profes- sor in biology. "It's also hard for blacks to gain lead- ership experience. They have leadership opportunities in only a few University offices," Evans said. LSA sophomore Ozell Hayes said racial tensions on campus have increased since the Center for Individual Rights filed lawsuits against the College of Literature, Science and the Arts and the Law School that target the schools' use of race as a factor in the admissions process. "It's created an environment that's very tense between blacks and whites, even though affirmative action is not a black and white issue," Hayes said. "But it's not as bad in Ann Arbor as it is in Detroit and the area around Detroit. "When (black men) go into a store near Detroit, they are followed around, asked over and over again if they need anything," Hayes said. Smith said that issues such as affirma- tive action have widened racial divisions. "I think there was a liberalization of attitudes everywhere in the country from the 70s, but now, I see a kind of hardening again," Smith said. But acceptance of gays has only increased during the past 10 years, said Cecy Ewing, chair of Ann Arbor's Human Rights Commission. "In 1985, I was walking down the street with my partner and two gay men," Ewing said. "We had bricks thrown at us. But now, Ann Arbor is the best place to live in Michigan in terms of non-discrimination for gays." But Engineering junior Kenneth Jones said many Ann Arbor residents tolerate, rather than accept, members of the gay community. "I don't think people are so blatant with homophobia and racism anymore," Jones said. "People try to tolerate (minorities) because it's the PC thing to do. "Because it's a college campus, Ann Arbor is still a bit more accepting (than other areas)," Jones said. Toy said that the University has become more supportive of gays since Fleming made his statements nearly 30 years ago. In the fall of 1971, the University agreed to help fund the LGBT office and offered benefits to same sex couples in 1993. The University "has been a leader in offering support to us and I am grateful for it," Toy said. "Things can always get better. We need to make sure they do for us and for other groups." Chauncey said the city's Human Rights department rarely receives reports of violations of the ordinance from the University community, although faculty, students and staff who are victims of dis- crimination can receive restitution if dis- criminated against. Chauncey said he works with the City Attorney's Office to investigate all discrimination grievances. While it is often difficult to find conclusive evi- dence of discrimination, the department has recorded a number of successes. "There was a lesbian lady who recently was discharged from employ- ment," Chauncey said. "The employers made a number of unsubstantiated rea- sons for the discharge. "We had enough evidence to show she was fired due to sexual orientation and a financial settlement was worked out with her former employers," he said. A look ahead While gays have become more accepted in Ann Arbor, there is still progress to be made, Smith said. Smith said she has been surprised at white residents' negative reactions to a new city plan to achieve racial equality in the Ann Arbor school district. "It's interesting to hear reactions of sup- posedly progressive people in Ann Arbor," Smith said. "They think they moved to Ann Arbor for their children to go to school with people who look like they do." She said society will not improve if people continue to ignore the interests of minorities. "As a population, we're only as strong as out weakest connection," Smith said. "If we don't make every effort to bring everyone to their highest level, we have failed."
