Welcome to Columbus and the Ohio State Fair! We hope you enjoy yourself during your visit. Thank you for stopping by the Lesbian and Gay Rights Booth at the Ohio State Fair.

This is the thirteenth year for the Booth, and our first year to produce this guide to gay and lesbian Ohio. Over the past few years, the Booth has become a place to educate the non-gay population, one of the few places where the general public can get up-todate, factual information about AIDS and HIV, and gay and lesbian civil rights issues. For some visitors, it's the only contact they may have with the gay and lesbian community. Now we're offering a booklet of information specifically for lesbian and gay Fair-goers.

Special thanks go to Mike Dittmer, Michael McFadden, and

the people at Citi Media who helped put this guide

together. Please remember the advertisers; thanks

to them, we are able to distribute this guide free

of charge. Special thanks to all the volun-

teers who help staff the Booth during the eighteen-day run of the Fair.
