OUT LINES Occupation: Team Coordinator at Shepherd Spinal Center Relationship status: Single Age: 37 Hometown: Union, Missouri How long in Atlanta: Six years Personal goal: To have a family Favorite film: "Tootsie" Currently Reading: Necessary Losses Favorite politician: John Lewis Favorite vacation spot: Pensacola Beach, Fla. Barb Freise: She Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way Barb Freise is busy these days. She works at two jobs, and then devotes her energy to political activism. But she wouldn't have it any other way. Barb works at Shepard Spinal Center, coordinating rehabilitation teams helping patients with spinal cord injuries. She also does direct care work part-time at the Devereaux Foundation, an in-patient psychiatric center for adolescents. Why the long hours? "To help reach my long-term goal; I would like to have a family." Barb's plan is to give birth to a baby of her own, and that takes money. She intends to start making her dream a reality in about four to six months. Why a child? "I want to have a child so I can share, and be a part of someone else's life. To me, that is one of the most fulfilling experiences I could have. It's something I have been planning to do for about five years." Although she is single, Barb doesn't want her relationship status to deter mine whether or not to have a child. "Love makes a family," Barb says. "And having other people in my child's life is just as important as me having a partner." Although Barb has been active in lesbian mother support groups for some time now, recently she has also become active in ACT UP, the gay activist group that brings AIDS-related issues to the attention of the public through demonstrations and educational activi ties. Barb has worked on plans for demonstrations scheduled for January 8 and 9, one protesting the infamous sodomy law, the other challenging the CDC’s definition of AIDS. Barb's enthusiasm and commitment are evident in her voice: "This is the most politically involved I've been since I've been in Atlanta," she says, "and I encourage anyone who wants to get involved to do so. It's been a great experience. I feel so much closer to my community, and feel I have a connec tion to more people." - Charlene Ball Hannuka Begins Friday, December 22 at Sundown Tjjmojj ■.T.T.TMT.T.T*. dreidl, dreidl, dreidl I made it out of clay and when it's dry and ready... with my dreidl\ I will play.
