the Hanicide Divisi~ and the District:. Attorney' s .office
have announced that their bvestigations arc continuing.
And , t.'iey restated that they are ha.'1dling this case
"just liJ.-.e any other case. n
They neglect to explain e>wctly what tmt rrca.'lS,
rut I will: In all cases, the investigators and the
prosecutors start with a μ:>lice rep.Jrt a."rl \·.Ork very
hard to prove that the rcp)rt is true in all of its

dOne in tho Fred Paez ..:asc. ·
The lnn.icide detective \·.orking the Paez case is
John oorovan, t·iho advised the Fred Paez Task Force that
he had spoken with Fred• s rot.'t\cr on several occasions
prior to Fred ' s death. What they discussed \~e rrot:hOds
of £:.-&suading Prcrl to give up the gay lifestyle or at

our civil rights . Johnny Hokes organizc1 r<ieisL groups
in high school and college. 5arc tirce ago, I asked h.1Jn
why the D.A. 's office had released a man who had stablx!d
a young gay Chicano after the i;olicc had cu-rested una
Jailed the assailant. :O.'Ot only did he have no Cll'lS\•.er,
he said he did rot need one a.00 gave oo irx1ication that
the matter ,..,ould l:.e investigated furtrer .
Tcz:ry \·lilso:i, the assista.'1t D. l\. in charge of the
Civil Riqhts Division (responsible for investigating
the deuth of Fred Pae:i:) is lm:Jo..m in the legal professiDn
as "the fox quardll19 the chicken coop." Like HOJ.r.es,

as the Houston Police DepartT.cnt- approvcd ap£:QintIT'C!.'
1t tD the i;osition t-men ho got it.
There is w 00pe of any sub:>ta:1tive state investigation
intD Fred Paez ' s death.
Federal??? The U.S. Attorney' s office hns assiqncd
their test age.'1ts to the case, rut what can they do if
th:l FQlice (McCoy and Cal..'1) stick to their story? They
oc."lilOt even dcpen:i on the accurocy of a polygraph test,
b..>causc the video tape {X>licy has rehearsed the officers
to their prcpa.re:l story.
Many of us do not accept the "accidental" version of
Fred• s death. A few of us have not accepted the r.x:>lice
version of Gary Wayne Stock' s death. And, like Gary' s
case, the only rope for justice is in the hards of those
of us -..mo never give up. We 111.lSt keep the issue aliw l::rj
reacting to attenpts to cover- up by the officials; W3
rcust write l etters to the editors of daily newspapers;

that w are not going to forget the deaths of Gary Wayne

One thing for sure: If you, or I , 1100 e.'lCOUnt;ercd

Navy sμ:>ke.sm:m Lt. Orc1r . Mark Baker said that the
Navy has no btention of revising their rulings on rarosexuality.
The Naval code prohibits tarosexuals tecausc
they arc "security risks, " and they crea~ "norale
problems. "
~reivy am the eight sailors claim that the investigations
have created rrore of a norale problem than any
of the ~aviors that have been questioned. Navy fireman
Louise Fitzr:orris said that l:cfore the investigations the

In her o.-m defense Nilliams said, "I \o.OUld like -
if this l:oard decides to discharge rm - to b:! discharged
for stupidity, not for miscontluct."
"My ~·.ork in the Navy has men real good. n'ler'Cfore,

if I let these things happen , to carmit these acts in a

Upon hearing the guilty verdict, Williruns walked
out the door am ripped off her navy tic.
The Navy dropped all charqcs against the remaining
four ·,.oren. Mc.'Greivy felt thc publicity generated by the
t.rials was a key £actor in the charqcs OOing dropped.
l1c'Greivy claims the Navy has l:ecn highly discrimi.nc:

CONNECTIONS GLANCES AT THE OPT IONS
by Jim Olinger
JOHN ANDERSON
The only information Anderso .. ._u.mpaign He.:idquarters
had was a reprint of an interview published in the June
6 - 12 This Week in Texas:
John .Arderson has actively sought the lesbia."!/gay
vote. Of oourse, as an independent, he needs every bit
of help he can get.
. . Mi:. Anderson has endorsed a bill which wuld forbid
dlSCrl.JlWlation due to sexual orientation in rousing and
cnployrrent , especially federal mployirent.
Nhen COngrcssrncm Larry t-tDonald introduced his first
anti-gay ~t to the legal services COrporatiOn Bill
J..z:i ~ 977 , Ande:son QP!X)Socl it. In 1978, a furoim.mtalist
nu.nister .ruruung for Ancleroon ' s scat. ir. t.he House of Representatives
made a big issue of Anderson ' s opposi tion
rut was defeated.
Anderson says, "Congress ought to be ready to enact
1C9islation that v.ou1d make it clear that the gay ccmnunity
sOCluld not m naic to suffer discrimination in
00\.lsing, erployirent arrl op[.Ortunitics in oor society
9c11crally." He further stat.cs, "The State has no J::usi.ness
int.crfcaring in il priv<.it..e, co11scnsual relation."
Anderson challcng~s the dmrges that voting for him
