Statements printed in first issue: Our Paper is a biweekly newspaper dedicated to inform, serve and entertain Gay men and
Lesbian women and their humanistic friends in Santa Clara County... Publicly we share numerous concerns: world hunger, nuclear
disarmament, uncontrollable inflation, spiraling taxes, diminished public services, dwindling natural resources, and the vanishing
American parking space... It is through a dedicated pursuit of human rights for all people that Our Paper will, hopefully,
become your paper.
