Gay tsunami
The Dec 26 tsunami killed 36 members of the Sri Lankan gay group Companions On A Journey. Twelve additional members remain unaccounted for. Homes of 112 group members were destroyed by the waves.
“These are numbers that we have received so far,” says Sherman de Rose, the group’s executive director. “The coastal line which the tourists frequent is destroyed entirely. So, along with it, whatever the gay-friendly places were, were destroyed as well. Intellect you, we didn’t have any out and open gay/lesbian spaces, although it was accepted in tourist areas where a lot of LGB [lesbian, homosexual, bisexual] tourists from Western Europe and Scandinavian countries check in for holidays.
“Fortunately for the gay community,” de Rose says, “the tsunami didn’t make its appearance in the evening; otherwise lots of gays cruising along the beaches would have perished.”
Companions has received many requests for assistance and offers of assist. “It’s amazing how the gays and lesbians responded to the calamity,” de Rose says. “Many volunteered with relief work and donated to relief programs. We have received many calls
Tsunami Spares Gay Enclave
On Dec. 26, 2003, an earthquake in Bam, Iran, killed nearly 30,000 people. A year later to the day, history made a terrifying encore with an earthquake that shook the planet from its axis. The quake itself — a 9.0 magnitude, underwater event off the coast of northwestern Indonesia — was a trifling event, relative to the massive tsunamis it spawned across the Indian Ocean. In the nearly two weeks since the quake, the estimated death toll has rocketed almost daily, reaching 140,000 as of Metro Weekly press day and projected to scale yet further.
