The Coalition for Positive Sexuality



Description of the Art Work

The Coalition for Positive Sexuality distributes a pro-safe sex, pro-choice, pro-woman, pro-queer pamphlet called "Just Say Yes," along with condoms, outside Chicago public schhols.

Description of incident

To date, we have been told by administrators at public schools that "this is a Christian school," we have watched teenagers get frisked for the booklet or have it confiscated upon entering the school, and we have fought with administrators who try to get between us and the students as we hand out materials. Furthermore, although Chicago law allows distribution of materials 1,000 feet aaway from schools, school administrators have ordered us to leave and called the police on us, though there have been no arrests. Also, the Chicago Department of Health has refused to supply us with condoms, claiming that the frank language, explicit discussions of sexuality, and refusal to promote abstinence in the booklet render it too controversial to merit free condoms.
