WHEREAS, the 1973 and 1974 General Assemblies have voted to establish the Office of Gay Concerns as an integral part of the UUA to serve the needs of our churches and fellowships for education and help on gay concerns; and

WHEREAS, the Office of Gay Concerns is funded from special grant funds outside the regular operating budget of the UUA; and

WHEREAS, the Office staff has had less than one-half year to function and cannot be fairly evaluated in terms of articulating a program based on the approved model of the Office;

BE IT RESOLVED: That the 1975 General Assembly:

1. Commends the Board of Trustees for its action of October 12, 1974 in implementing the General Assembly's resolution to fund the Office of Gay Concerns; and
2. Endorses the action of the Board of Trustees in including continued funding for the Office of Gay Concerns in the grants section of the proposed UUA budget for 1975-76.
