| Transcript | This month's PBT, quite obviously, is not what our readers (or we) are accustomed to visually. PBT is in a constant struggle to meet its financial obligations and simply couldn't afford to print this month. The staff decided it was more important to put to worry about looking good, so here it is--Xeroxed, but circulat- do plan to return to our original format when we have the money, sports. Future topics and their submission deadlines are: out the magazine than ing nevertheless. We This issue focuses on Relationships ember 10).

A friend sent your May issue which has . been eagerly shared in the West. "Pool" was a delightful study in socialization skills! "Finding" an encouraging guide to fellow pilgrims! AND Ann Lavender...finally one woman with common sense advice grounded in respect for all persons! Thank you Ann for speaking forth!! One women's issue sorely neglected in the Bay area is the proliferation of "Girlie" Sexist photo- newspapers & magazines that debase all women! I am disappointed the realization of its damage to the cause of all women has not taken hold and action taken by women. I would be interested in learning if women in your area are successfully confronting this insult? Keep up your fine work in the spirit of solidarity and love you have demonstrated. A grateful reader, T. Lange Dear Pointblank Times: Thanks to Pokey and PBT for bringing Meg Christian to Houston. I thoroughly enjoyed the concert and would like to see more activities of this nature made available to the lesbian community. I've lived in Houston nearly 10 years and I guess I am one of those who occupy the pockets of lesbians outside the gay community that Ellen spoke of in the April issue of PBT. It isn't that we would not like to be a more visible part of the Houston gay community, but about the only way to make contact is through the bars and they simply aren't adequate. Perhaps that is one reason I am so enthusiastic about the Meg Christian concert. It was such a warm, relaxed, friendly atmosphere, and so many various types of women attended. It opened up visions of how it could be if the gay community had more social outlets than just the gay bars. It also opens up the possibility of establishing a lesbian counterculture in Houston, and I am strongly in favor of that. I'm sure we have many talented v/omen who could provide entertainment for more women's concerts and get-togethers. Could a task force be formed to investigate the possibilities? |
