THE CATHOLIC LESBIAN EXPERIENCE
by Mary E. Hunt
I testify as a lesbian feminist who is a Catholic
theologian, a woman who prepared fully with the Jesuits
for priesthood, and a person with significant ministerial,
theological and political experience on this and related
issues. I am a member of the Board of New Ways
ministry and an active member of the Conference of
Catholic Lesbians.
Washington, D.C.'s excellent women's singing group Sweet
Honey in the Rock expresses the sentiments that I bring
to the Roman Catholic Church tonight, in a song entitled
"Every Woman."
Every woman who ever loved a woman
You ought to stand up and call her name
Mama-sister-daughter-lover
Every woman who ever loved a woman
You ought to stand up and call her name
by Bernice Johnson Reagon, 1978
The song goes on to describe how our mothers help us
out, how our sisters take good care of us, how our
daughters inherit a world of our making, and how our
women friends and lovers make us feel fine. It is in this
integrated context of care and love for all women that I
place my own Catholic lesbian feminist experience.
To be a lesbian feminist is to love all women, to take all
women radically seriously in a world that teaches us not
to look to one another for support, wisdom and
sustenance. It is a world that would have us think that
we can only love and be loved by men - a view baptized
and confirmed by the Roman Catholic Church. Yet, for
me, the essence lies in the fact that I have a
"preferential option for the poor," the poorest of whom
will always be women. It is this commitment to the whole
fabric of liberation which prompts me to _single out the
-lesbian dimension of my own life for discussion . .

MARILYN FRYE TO SPEAK AT HERLAND
Marilyn Frye, feminist philosopher and author of The
Politics of Reality, will read and bold a discussion
on Monday, September 9, 1985, 8:00 p.m., at Herland, 1630 N.W. 19.
"From early August through early September, I am
goiQ.g to be traveling through the southwest and
beading home to Michigan after spending this academic year in Eugene, Oregon," said Frye. "I'm very
much looking forward to visiting your city and your
community and meeting all of you," she added.
"What I have done in such settings, which both the
audiences and r.I have enjoyed, is a mixture of t alk
and readings ' from my book and other not-yetpublished writing."
Herland is pleased to be able to sponsor Marilyn
Frye. M~k ' your calendar for this important event.
A $2 doefation is requested to cover her honoraria.
Don't miss t his reading and conversation.

Quotes from reviews of The Politics of Reality
"She writes of sexism, racism, patriarchal oppression but
she also provides a gut response to how these issues work
in our lives." (New Directions for Women)
"Frye's wit and vision help the reader perceive another
reality, one with many layers of patriarchal assumptions
peeled away." (Bookeaper)
"... the rich insights ... the elegance of its prose style, its
many invitations to spinning out one's own philosophical
daydreams." (The Feminist Review)
"The Politics of Reality is the summer storm readers of
feminist theory have been thirstily awaiting." (The Women's
Review of Books)
"Frye's clear imagery reveals complexities and new angles,
resists simplification and stays in the reader's mind ...
The Politics of Reality challenges without being obscure
or pedantic."

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Herland Sister Resources, Inc.:

Dear Editor :

I'm sending my annual donation. I'm sorry it's been
more than a year since I've given anything--thanks
for keeping me on the list. I'm a student at OSU-I'll have to take advantage of the minimum r ate,
but I wish I could send more.

Okay, people, come on now! The ball has started rolling
and we need some more people to play. The response was
not overwhelming to the first call for participation; however, it has started the wheels in motion. The newsletter
reaches over 500 of you wonderful people and I know
there are many of you who need to be coaxed into participating. Let the coaxing begin!
The responses I did receive were encouraging, revealing
that sports events are of mutual interest. What we need
now are people willing to get together and play. We
have a possible location and a few softball players. I can
already hear some of you sayin,f things like, "I don't play
softball--this is not for me." Or, "I have a load of laundrY
to do so I can't go." "It's too hot; let's stay home."
Well, don't waste your breath. The day and time and
place still have to be arranged before' any excuses will
be heard.
It's time for your participation. I challenge everY one of
you to do your part. We can put together a day of fun
and relaxation if we all work together. We will need
team members and spectators, plus ice chests, hot dogs,
hamburgers, potato chips, sodas, mustard, relish, mayo,
bats, balls and crying towels. We could use frisbees, gui~
tars and clowns. No matter what you have to offer, we
can work it into this day. The most important thing you
can offer is yourself, for without your warm spirits, the
rest is cold material.
Write to me c/o Herland Sister Resources, Inc., 1630
N.W. 19, Oklahoma City, OK 73106.

Dona Williamson asks for suggestions. I would check
"Exhibition for Women Artists" if I were sending the
list.
Also, for those of us who don't live in OKC, it
would be nice to r eceive (perhaps twice a year) a
list, by title and author, of the complete current
offering of books and records. We can refer to
newsletters for descriptions. I just think it'd be nice
t o have a complete picture of what's offered. If
you have the use of a computer, maybe you could
keep the list on file and send it on request.
Tharik you.

Dear Editor:
I recently participated in the Celebration On Aging at
DOE Farm, a small womyn's community in Wisconsin.
Much discussion, brainstorming and dreaming centered around issues of housing in the later years, being allowed
to do useful work as long as one is able and the desire
for nurturing caretaking when unable to care for oneself.
As a result, I have been rethinking and expanding my
options for housing when I settle in the Norman area this
fall . Currently I am researching sale properties that
would be suitable for about six people.
I would like to share ideas, concerns, information, etc.,
especially with midlife or older lesbians and/or feminists
who might consider living in a cooperative household. I
will be here off and on for the next few months and can
be contacted c/o Herland, or messages left at 946-5395.

1---------------PRINTING COSTS JEOPARDIZE NEWSLETTER
At its July meeting, the Herland Sister Resources, Inc.
Collective discussed the status of the newsletter. When
the Collective was formed in January, it was able to get
the newsletter printed for the cost of the paper for
several months. That option is no longer available and
the cost for printing now runs around $100, with mailing
costs around $65. It is the goal of the Collective to make
the newsletter self-supporting with advertising, and is
launching a campaign to accomplish that.
Another
possibility is to charge a minimal amount for receipt of
the newsletter. The mailing list has grown from just over
100 to 525 persons in the last year, the number of
pages has been increased most months and the Herland
Newsletter is still the only source of its type in the
State of Oklahoma.
This isn't fust another plea for donations, readers, but an
opportunity for those who enjoy receiving it to help us
keep it alive. Send your business card advertisement or
your donation to Newsletter, Herland Sister Resources,
Inc., 1630 N.W. 19, Oklahoma City, OK 73106.
The Collective is planning some exciting events for Fall,
so make sure you are informed about what's going on by
supporting your newsletter.

(Continll;ed from page 1)
Alt hough I testify for myself, I do so, confident that
thousands of Catholic lesbians could tell similar stories.
But I do so with a measure of sadness, aware that few
could testify openly without fear of returning to their
homes or workplaces, threatened with the loss of their
jobs and the respect of parents, husbands, religious
superiors or friends. And so I testify with pride, for
myself and for other Catholic lesbians who have moved
beyond the threats to integrated lives of feminist clarity
and celebration.
My experience of coming out ten years ago was very

exciting and positive for me, although the institutional
church never congratulated me on my insight.
My
Catholic family received no help in coping with my sexual
preference, although I am sure that some members must
have sought priestly advice. My friends, many of whom
went to Catholic colleges, had really never heard the
word "lesbian" until I spoke it to them. We had never
been told about this foolproof means of natural birth
control! We knew what it meant to be lesbian only by
innuendo and silence, and we intuited that it was sinful, although women's experience was never considered
important enough even to be condemned as male
homosexuality was. But frankly, having learned by the
early '70s that much of what the institutional, hierarchial
church teaches about women is morally bankrupt, I
cannot say that I ever gave the church's position , much
credence. To the cont rary, because the church's position
on birth control, abortion and sterilization, not to mention
sexual relations outside of marriage, and masturbation,
were so f ar off the mark , my discovery of the church's
prohibition of lesbian sexuality only enhanced my sense
that it was probably important fo r women to affirm the
lesbian in all of us.
Catholic lesbians are different from other Catholic women
only in the extra degree to which we are oppressed, and
not different because we are oppressed. All Catholic
women are oppressed by the church's fundamental
rejection of women's right to choose on every front. The
norm for all of us is that of a heterosexual married
woman who is open to bearing as many children "as the
Lord sends." Any deviation from this norm is considered
suspect. For lesbian women, who have had no role models
except an occasional slur about a particularly masculine
saint like J oan of Arc, deviation from the impossible norm
condemns us and consigns us to the far· reaches of the
so-called church family. Let me go on record as saying
t hat the church family has as its modus operandi
domestic violence, in our regard. As Woman Church we
say no to the anti-woman teachings; we say that they
are anti-Gospel. We do not receive the institutional
church's teachings on homosexuality which would have us
feel sinful, become guilty and reject our best intuitions.
Those of us who have brought sexual preference to the
fore, said who we are and rejected the institutional
church's horror at what we know to be healthy, good and
natural for us in 1985, are glad to be a part of a larger
movement of Woman Church. We can see that where
women love one another well, with compassion and
empowerment, with mutuality, respect and passion, then
we can say that our lives as lesbian feminists make ultimate and exquisite sense.
The stories of lesbian feminists in the church are not all
filled with happy endings. First, few are told, so t hat we
are robbed of our history. Some of those stories have

gone to the graves with our foresist ers.
Now we
celebrate lesbian women on their own terms, in life and
in death. Second, many women have been told in the
confessionals and in spiritual direction that their
particular friendships, their crushes, their feelings and
actions with other women were sinful, dirty, immature,
demonic. Now we can say "Love one another as I have
loved you" with no qualifications. Third, too many married women have been robbed of their birthright, too
many women in religious congregations denied their
freedom, too many women told they are not entitled t o
be full human beings because they are too young or too
, old. But what they all have in common is that no--:' one
ever taught them a responsible reverence for sexuality.
No one told them that men are not the only option, that
religious life need not involve an absolute ban on sexual
activity, that little girls can like little girls, that older
women need not be alone and loveless.
Too often women have been told by priests to stay in
bad ·marriages when their best friends were really
women.
Too many sisters have found their sexual
preference obscured from them by the veil of celibacy,
finding out who they might be only later in life. Too
many women of color in our church, especially Black and
Hispanic women, .'Say that it is hard enough to be a
member of a racial minority and that coming out as
lesbians would be more than they and their communities
could bear. In short, every Catholic lesbian feminist does
not look like me, a white, middle-class, well-educated
Holly Near-type lesbian who can sing "Ode to a Gym
Teacher" if pressed. Many women in our church are
lesbian. If telling you of my limited experience will help
pave the way for the sharing and claiming of other
women's experiences, so be it .
The work of groups like t he Conference of Catholic
Lesbians and New Ways Ministry make this possible. The

1

banishmen\ : of Sister J eannine Gramick and Father Robert
Nugent ofl New Ways from t his Archdiocese shows how
f earful t he institutional church is of our increasing
empowerment.
I cannot say how many women in our church are lesbian,
and I ought not to say whom. The point is that we need
to unlock this dimension of our womanselves, if we • are
to love ourselves fully as women. Anything less will
perpetuate the blasphemy to which we have become
accustomed. Risking an open love of one another will
help us to call the holy by her name. As Virginia Ramey
Mollenkott has noted, "Grace is a lesbian." Then we can
add her name to the names of those we love and, "Every
woman who ever loved a woman; You ought to stand up
and call her name."

HERESY
I think the Christian God
is 17 years old
Scared shitless of women and
Ignoring His Mother
as much as He is able.
And the Hebrew God is around 22
Macho and contemptuous
Of the women He considers
Weaker than Himself
even as He uses them.
And Jesus is perhaps 19,
Finished with school
The whole world before Him,
He thinks He knows it all.

SISTERS ·
I never had one
So I didn't know,
although friends with told me
how lucky I was.
Now I have many and
What I don't know now
is why we who choose to align
still feel we have to squabble.
It's such a waste of
Time and energy and
I don't have enough of either
to squander in such shit.
J ust as I don't always like
My children and other relatives,
so, we other-sisters don't have
to like or love each other
To work together for the good
Of our group, our cause, our endeavor,
which has to become more important
than any one of our personalities.
Only by defining that goal and
Keeping it in focus
can we hope to overcome the stigma
of "just another women's group!"

I'll try-Will you?

NEW LEADERS CALL FOR UNITY

WOMEN'S SELF-DISCOVERY GROUP STARTS

New Orleans - The National Organization for Women, torn by a tense leadership struggle, cheered a
call for unity July 20 in the name of the "millions
of women ... who need our help."

Women's Wednesday Night is sponsoring an 8-week
roup beginning August 7, 1985. Women who want to
ee themselves in new ways are encouraged to att end this mutual-help group.

With voting only hours away in a hardfought contest between NOW President Judy Goldsmith and
challenger Eleanor Smeal, Tennessee State Representative Lois DeBerry won the loudest demonstration of the conference with her plea for post-election healing.

Each meeting will consist of a simple activity designed to help the participant discover and recover
new or forgotten aspects of herself. In addition, Pat
· Walke, MSW, will lead participants in a discussion
of their experiences during each meeting.

"Mter this election war is over, let us not divide,"
said DeBerry, president of the National Caucus of
Black Women. "Unite together. Let us not unite for
Judy's sake. Let us not unite for Ellie's sake. But
let us unite for the millions of women out in the
world who need our help."
from The Daily Oklahoman wire services
Ellie Smeal won, according to Margaret Cox, cocoordinator of the OKC NOW Chapter, and one of
ten Oklahomans attending the convention.
The high point of the activities for Cox was parti- ·
cipating in the Take Back the Night march.. "I
marched with Andrea Dworkin down Bourbon
Street," said Cox. The march against rape was "a
wonderful, empowering experience," according to
Cox.

RETIREMENT HOUSING FOR GAYS & LESBIANS
Previous research in the gay /lesbian community has
indicated a preference for retirement housing and
long-term care facilities which are homosexually
oriented. To elicit more detailed and accurate information concerning interest in such facilities for
older lesbians and gay men, a nationwide survey is
being conducted by Dr. A.J. Lucco, Fellow in Geriatric Medicine at the Johns Hopkins University
School of Medicine.
Gay Iii.en and lesbians who will be at least 55
years old by the end of the current calendar year
are needed to complete an anonymous, self-administered questionnaire which asks for demographic
data as well as opinions in regard to retirement
housing options and preferences. If you qualify and
are willing to participate, please contact: A.J.
Lucco, M.D., The Beacham Center, 5200 Eastern
Ave., Baltimore, Maryland 21224.
Organizations willing to
are also asked to reply.

RELIGIOUS GROUPS SUPPORT CIVIL RIGHTS BILL

CHAUTAUQUA CENTER SETS FALL PROGRAMS

In a step described by Gay Rights National Lobby as a
"major breakthrough," 11 major religious denominations
have recently joined in a letter to Members of Congress,
urging support and cosponsorship of the national gay and
lesbian civil rights bill, H.R. 230.

The Chaut auqua Center in Norman is offering a series of
work-scholar programs which provide a forum where people interested in personal transformation can come together to work, learn and play within the context of a small
community. Each month-long program offers a different
area of study, such as G~stalt , Tadix, massage, meditation and guided imagery, medicinal herbs and much more.

Among the groups signing the joint letter, Church of the
Brethren, United Methodist Church, Lutheran Council,
Presbyterian Church, United Church of Christ, Episcopal
Church, Union of American Hebrew Congregations, Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Unitarian-Universalist
Assoc., American Ethical Union and the National Council
of Churches.
The letter states: "Our religious traditions teach the importance of providing equal justice for all persons . . . As
representatives of religious traditions we recognize a special responsibility to provide moral leadership in improving
public understanding of this issue. While some of our traditions oppose the practice of homosexuality, our traditions maintain strong support for the protection of basic
civil and human rights of all persons."
