Callers in the Chicago area can now listen to a recorded message from 'Dial-A-Gay-Atheist'. A call to 312-255-2960 will activate a five minute tape of Don Sanders from Houston, national director of American Gay Atheists, in a message which is changed weekly. Why is this necessary? Homosexual non-believers have a special perspective, Sanders said in a telephone interview. Sanders, who makes a living producing 900 and 976 phone lines for heterosexual dating services said he hopes the new line in Chicago will promote atheism among gay people. Dial-A-Gay-Atheist is joining Dial-an-Atheist, which has been available since 1979 by dialing 312-506-9200. If you know of unusual or different recorded announcements in your community, please send them along to the Digest. Patrick Townson
