— AUGUST 24, 2003 FLASHBACK: The New Couples Next Door, Gay and Straight –
Kate Zernike (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, you are demonized, denigrated, and condemned
if you do not promote LGBTQ activity. According to City-Data at http://www.city-data.com/city/Wheaton-Illinois.html,
for Wheaton: “Likely homosexual households (counted as self-reported
same-sex unmarried-partner households) Lesbian couples: 0.2% of all households
Gay men: 0.2% of all households” Those who promote LGBTQ activity in
Wheaton stress “OneWheaton.” SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OneWheaton)
https://www.nytimes.com/2003/08/24/us/the-new-couples-next-door-gay-and-straight.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mark
Demich and Kevin Hengst, the couple across the street, are not actually
married. Still, in the seven years they have lived in this Chicago suburb they
have become like the Buckinghams, the Therrons, the Siconolfis — just another
young family in the neighborhood, socializing porch to porch on summer
evenings. Choosing the suburbs over the city, Mr. Demich and Mr. Hengst feared
they would be The Gay Couple. But even in Wheaton — the home of an evangelical
Christian college that until last year prohibited drinking and dancing, the
seat of a reliably Republican county — they have found plenty of company.
Sixty gay men and lesbians turned out for a wine-tasting a few weeks ago. About
30 played softball at a local park on a recent Saturday. . .In Wheaton, Mr.
Demich, 42, said he liked the diversity. ”Of families,” he explained, after a
brief pause. ”As opposed to city culture, where everything is around gay life,
gay events. That’s not really the way America lives.” When he and Mr. Hengst
decided to move to the suburbs, they told their real estate agent, ”Anything
but Wheaton,” knowing its conservative reputation. Then they found the perfect
house. They hung out a Gay Pride flag, and the neighbors invited them to a
block party. The couple said they would bring fruit salad. ”Everyone broke out
laughing,” Mr. Weinberg, a contractor, recalled. ”They were making fun of it,
which went over well.” Neighborhood children have confronted the couple with
questions: Do you two sleep together? Do you have wives? Their parents cringe,
but also say they consider themselves, and their children, fortunate. ”Growing
up in a good Catholic family, I didn’t even know about anything like this,”
Ms. Weinberg said. ”It wasn’t thrown in front of me. These kids, if they don’t
see it now, they’re going to see it soon. Living on a block like this is more
the real world.” A few blocks over the train tracks, Ladd McClurg and Brad
Ogilvie had similar concerns about moving to Wheaton when Mr. Ogilvie accepted
a job in town. Mr. McClurg, who grew up in the Mormon faith, being taught that
gays were sinners, said he arrived with ”almost a visceral disdain” for
Wheaton’s many churches and their members. ”I learned to discover they’re not
all bigoted,” Mr. McClurg said. ”There are a lot more variations on the
middle out here than I was willing to give credit for.” Still, gays here say
they step carefully to avoid causing offense. Betty Burns and Lisa Rechkemmer
say they would never hold hands or hang out a pride flag for fear of upsetting
their good relations with the neighbors. Mr. Ogilvie and Mr. McClurg display
the flag, but resist the urge to hold hands unless they visit the city. One
lesbian in Wheaton talked about how accepting her neighbors were, but did not
want to be identified by name because she feared the kind of hate calls she and
her partner received when they moved in two years ago. Mr. Demich and Mr.
Hengst had to go to six or seven churches before they found one that did not
preach that homosexuality is a sin. The church they chose, St. Paul Lutheran,
had declared itself ”open and affirming” to gays five years ago, but only
after a struggle. The decision was prompted not by gay parishioners — there
were none at the time — but by a young man who had been baptized and confirmed
in the church who died of AIDS. ”It lifted the issue,” said Marianne Avery, a
member of the church council that debated the change. ”It was, ‘This is our
children, this is not about letting someone in.’ ” Still, a handful of members
left. ”What if they show up in drag?” the Rev. Melody Eastman, the pastor,
recalled one woman asking.)
