Oasis Journals | A Writing Community for Queer and Questioning Youth.

Michelle Klucsor, 19, of San Jose, California

By Jeff Walsh

Michelle Klucsor didn't have any stress going to her first gay youth group meeting -- at the time, she thought she was straight.

The now 19-year-old college sophomore says she first went to a San Jose, CA youth group when her friend asked her to go with her for support.

But it was more difficult when Michelle finally decided to go for herself. "The first time I went on my own, it was still pretty scary," she said. "I got there early and I was nervous, but the people there were really friendly.

Harvey New Year

Harvey Fierstein With a new album in stores and a movie on the way, everyone can get a dose of gay America's sweetheart

By Jeff Walsh

Harvey Fierstein has earned three Tony Awards for "Torch Song Trilogy" and his written version of "La Cage Aux Folles." His starring performance in the movie version of "Torch Song Trilogy" has helped hundreds of thousands of people accept their own sexuality and the sexuality of other family members. And younger audiences are sure to remember his hilarious role as Robin Williams' gay brother in "Mrs. Doubtfire."

Pansy Division

Pansy Division By Jeff Walsh

In February, queer punk fans will get another peek into Jon Ginoli's bedroom as Pansy Division releases its third album.

As was the case with their two previous albums, Ginoli is still single, still frustrated with the gay community and still writing great music for everyone else in the same situation.

He has returned!

27 February, 2003 - 4:07am — DiscSpinnerDude

After a mess of a dying computer, a dying server, business, lost passwords and overall procrastination, I'm back! For those of you that don't know me, I was here before the Oasis server went down, kind of faded out, but now I'm back!

It isn't me.

27 February, 2003 - 2:22am — tere

I knew it had to be something inside of me. It was my fault, I was doing something wrong, and as soon as I figured out what it was, I would start to be happy.

She told me I was not the problem. And now I'm happy.

Hopeless

27 February, 2003 - 2:08am — Boygasm

This is just about hopeless. Starting a business will take a long time to get stared. Alot of obsicle to dodge and jump over. Alot of money to spend, and alot of shit to worry about. This requires alot of patience.

First two issues to draw the people in. Would need at least 50-200 readers to take on reading the magazine and hopefully they would be able to suggest or subscribe for the rest of the issues.

Practical Jokes suck

27 February, 2003 - 1:11am — blindlove

So i was online today totally bored because school closed 3 hours early due to inclemit weather. I was checking people's aim profiles, but not talking to them just reading the jokes and stuff, and my freind's profile had a link to a test about your love life. i had just gotten off of thespark.com (killing more time) so i was in a test taking type of mood. So i took the test cause what harm could it do? The questions were like, "what is your name", "what is your crushes name" and a bunch of questions about being a virgin or not.
