Saturday June 24th, 1972 was a
historic day for Dallas. This conservative
town had seen many
parades before- -but never a
parade like this one. This was the
day gay citizens "kicked down the
closet door and let the lavendar
smoke come pouring out." The
day we told the world, "We are
no longer afraid."
But it almost didn't happen. Two
days before, a frantic Dallas City
Councilman, Doug Fain, asked City
Attorney Alex Bickley to rescind
the Circle of Friends' parade permit.

, 300 Proudly March
were in agreement with Fain. But
Bickley reminded them that his
office had researched the law to see
if there was any legal grounds on
which to deny a parade permit.
But it seems the Constitution
grants gays the same rights to
freedom of speech as it does
straights. So the parade was still
on! And because of the publicity
given to this effort to halt the
parade at the last minute, thousands,
who otherwise might not have
heard of the parade, came downtown
to see what all the fuss was
about.
They saw plenty. There were
seventeen floats and gaily decorated
cars. There were large banners
and signs - "I'm not prejudice:
I like heterosexuals," "Someone
you love is gay," "This car is
sponsored by professionals and
others who, if they were known
to be gay, would lose their jobs."
The Dallas Metropolitan Community
Church had an elaborate float
telling the world, "9od Loves His
Gay Children Too." "Gay is As
American As The Flag and Apple
Pie," proclaimed the beautiful
Circle of Friends' float. The Gay
PAR AD

Af
Liberation of Houston's float carried
the legend, "They gave me a
medal for killing many men, and
a dishonorable discharge for loving
one."
Police Sergant J . R. Cody estimated
the crowd at 3,000. Either
he didn't bother to make an accurate
estimate, or he tried to
play down the importance of the
parade. Terry of Tyler walked
along the parade route while the
parade was in progress. He choose
not the most crowded block
but a block that seemed to be about
in between crowd-wise. Counting
OUR -COM\'lU . NIT,Y
,,NOThfNG bUMAN ·is AlieN TO us
all the people on the sunnyside of
the street and doubling that munbel",
he then multiplied that by the
number' of blocks the parade covered.
His estimate was 14,146.
The Dallas ACLU was there.
Their members wore tags giving
their names, identifying them as
members of the ACLU and noting
th~ were there as "observers."
Presumably this was to see that
gay citizens were not harassed
by the police, or that the police
would not allow paraders to be
attacked by the crowd.
Fortunately this was unnecessary.
'.fhere were no arrests, nor
was there any violence.
And if there were any catcalls,
the happy, singing, clapping
marchers never heard it. The
crowd reaction? Many watched in
stunned silence. But most smiled,
waved, applauded, and cheered!<-
Even the 25 police assigned
to cover the parade seemed to have
a good time. One officer was heard
to remark: "I don't approve of
the, but I can't see anything wrong
with it."
About 250 to 300 started the
parade. But a funny thing happened
on the way to City Hall. Many
Closet Queens who were standing
on the sidewalks suddenly found
their guts and joined our ranks.
The delegation from Houston
provided live music as we marched
and shouts of "2-4-6-8, Gay
is just as good as straight" filled
the air.
Althouth Chris McKee, who
served as parade committee chairman,
expected marchers from
Houston, Ft Worth, Oklahoma City,
Denton, and San Antonio, she was
pleasently surprised to find that
some came from as far away as
Miami, New York City, New Orleans,
Atlanta, the Rio Grande
Valley, and Chicago.
Also interesting to note was
the 'Jbany straights who joined our
ranks. Originally they were to have
their own platoon. But the straights
insisted they wanted to march
shoulder to shoulder with their
gay brothers and sisters even if
they might be mistaken for queers
by their friends and neighbors.
One more detail: At the end of
the parade a poor grandmotherly
type struggled to keep up with the
younger crowd. She too carried
a sign: "God's World Demands
Legal Execution ofHomosexuals."
Her name is Mrs. Addie Barlow
Fratler. Many think she goes under
the name Dixie Leber(Rebel spelled
backwards). Dixie is a member
of the Klu Klux Klan. The world,
like the parade, left her behind.
Next year the parade will be
even bigger and better. Plans are
already being made. Dallas ain't
seen nothing, yet!
GAY PRIDE
RALLY
held at flag
Pole Hill
After the parade, about 200
gay and straight friends gathered
at Flag Pole Hill to enjoy sandwiches,
cokes, lemonade, andeach
others company. Speeches were
made by representatives of the
Circle of Friends, the NuntiusOur
Community, Dallas MCC, the
Purple Star Tribe, the Houston Gay
Liberation Front, and anyone who
had saything to say.
Myke and Jo sang gay and traditional
folk songs and led us in
"dancing-in-the-street" type dancing.
An unmarked car with two men in
it slowly made its way into our area
The car stopped and took down license
plate numbers of cars parked
there. (This writer looked in the
side window and saw the numbers
on the shorthand pad). The license
plate number of this white car was
LRF 163. There were no arrests,
nor did the men speak to anyone in
our crowd.
(The ACLU told us this was probably
a police car and would check
out the number, but they would probably
find that the car was one confiscated
by the police, but not registered
to them. The takingoflicense
plate numbers was merely to
feed to a computer of the National
Crime Information Center (NCIC)
to see if any of the cars belonged
to known criminals.Since straights
were at the picnic as well as gays,
there is no way the Oolice could determine
who was what. Nor did
they care).
A couple of years ago, the queens
would have fled the scene in screaming
panic. But this time we
just ignored them, and the happy
party continued into late afternoon.

• STONW ALL DIRECTOR
SLAMS TIMES COLUMNIST
Seattle Times Religion Editor,
Ray Ruppert, was accused of fostering
prejudice towards homosexuals
in a letter from William H.
DuBay, Co-director of Stonewall,
a Seattle treatment center for
homosexuals.
The letter referred to Ruppert's
June 17 column entitled, "Seattle
Churches Grapple with Role of
Homosexuals." The article made
extensive use of remarks made by
Dr. E. Mansell Pattison, associate
professor of psychiatry at the
University of California at Irvine.
DuBay, a former Roman Catholic
Priest, charged that the article
failed to represent adequately what
either psychiatrist or the churches
are saying about homosexuality.
DuBay began, "What promised to
be a review of the problems of
,-churches struggling with the fact
of homosexuality turned out to be
a dialogue of two Christians still
parading their ignorance and
superstitions regarding the subject
under the guise of responsible
journalism."
DuBay went on to point out that
nearly every major denomination
is currently involved in a reevaluation
of the ancient church
doctrines on personal relationships,
sexuality, and homosexuality.
He mentioned that the United
Church of Christ ordained an admitted
homosexual as a minister
recently and that a Gay student
from Seattle is studying for the
Congregational ministry in the
University of Chicago. "Secondly,"
DuBay wrote, "the remarks
of Dr. Pattison fail to reflect any
of the scientific study and research
done in the last 50 years" which
had led "many psychiatrists to
conclude that there is no connection
between homosexuality and
mental disorder or "social disability."
DuBay emphasized that "one
does not label the largest minority
in the country as 'sick,' 'disablec,'
or 'bizarre' without offering
some shred of evidence to
support such an outlandish position,
evidence which was entirely
The April term Dallas County
grand jury Friday praised the
Fallas County jail and returned
indictments against nine inmates
for sex assults on other prisoners.
"The Dallas County Jail is a
facility which is well managed,
well maintained and sanitary, and
one which provides excellent health
care and food for its inam
care and food for its inmates,"
the jury said in its final report.
Jurors toured the jail April 14.
The grand jury, however, did
find the jail to be overcrowded
and gave its support to "any
reasonable effort that can be made
to alleviate jail overcrowding."

"The attitudes towards homosexuality
expressed in your article
are the same attitudes responsible
for the burnings, castrations, murders,
trials, torturings exiles
firings, suicides, and m;ntal dis~
abilities of homosexuals that have
filled the pages of Christian
history.
"As one professionally involved
with the mental and emotional
health of homosexual persons, I
have to indict you for the perpetuation
of those attitudes,'' DuBay
concluded.
DuBay's letter came on the heel
of another action against the Times
by Rev. Robert Sirico, pastor of
the Metropolitan Community
Church, which accepts homosexuality.
Rev. Sirco led a demonstration
against the Times last
week for refusing to run an ad for
the church in the religion section
on the grounds that the words
"Gay" and "homosexual" were not
suitable for printing. The picketing
of the homes of Times officials
was scheduled as a continuation
of the protest this week.

lowered to its designed maximum,
then ideal procedures can be utiliz -

from hardened criminals
and homosexuals from all other
prisoners," the report said.
prisoners,' ' the report said.
The county is under federal court
order to reduce overcrowding and
improve the jail.
The nine sodomy indictments
stem from three cases involving
older inmates who forced prisoners
aged 17, 18 and 20, toperform
unnatural sex acts.

f FIRST NATIONAL GAY ACTION
The first national Gay action is
about to happen. This will be the
final mailing of N.C.G.0.-Campaigr,
'72. Please read it carefully
and pass the information on to
as many Gays in your area as possible.
Things are happening fast
and changes occur every day in the
details of what will be happening at
the Convention site. You may call
us anytime (collect) at the N .C.G.O.
headquarters in Washington at
(202) 462-8729 for current information
and to keep us informed of
your plans so that we can maintain
a nation-wide picture of how things
are shaping up.
I
As you no doubt are already a-ware,
the Democratic National Platform
Committee meeting in Washington,
D. C. this week finally
adopted the N.C.G.O. platform on
Gay Rights as a minority report.
In addition the Majority Platform
includes one sentence which is unacceptable,
really, but is a victory
nonotheless which declares some
support of homosexual rights, but
without mentioning the word. It
deals with freedom of Americans
"to make their own choice of life
styles and private habits". The
minority report, however, is very
strong. It is the platform written
by the N.C.G.O. convention in Chicago
last February.
Perhaps some of you can fathom
the significance of this move on the
national scene. Many of you may
not. It all was made possible because
you and your organization
has successfully changed the mood
of the American public toward
homosexual rights. You may not
think that theworkyouhaveputinto
Gay liberation has had much effect,
but if you even only once stood up
and demanded your human and constitutional
rights as Gay po
stitutional rights as Gay people in
the public eye, you have made an
impact. That impact was borne
out by the reception we met during
the last four days at the Platform
meetings of the Democratic party
which culminated in our issue being
adopted this morning (June 27,
1972).
ant victory goes to the members of
the N.C.G.O. coordinating committee
here in D. C. who worked 20
hours a day (literally) for four days
with the delegates of the Platform
Committee using every conceivable
means to convince them to vote
our issue into the Platform. It was
beaten ·down four times with as
many revisions until the entire
plank was proposed as a minority
report and passed easily. (75% of
the people voting voted YES).
These people to whom we owe so
much are Steve Mann (East Lansing),
Alan Vick(Wash. D.C.), Ernie
Reaugh (Albany), and Ron Cafiero
Frank Kameny, and Steve Warner.
It is extremely important to note
that, in the face of an about-face
on the part of theMcGovernpeople
at the last minute (the McGovern
forces were getting cold feet after
the current trashing of the party
on the Gay Rights issue), the vote
to include the N.C.G.O. platform in
the majority platform resulted in
defeat, 54-34. A shift of eleven
votes would have given it to us.
The strongest support came from
the Youth, the Blacks, theSpanishspeaking,
ALL THE WALLACE
PEOPLE, the Humphrey people,
and the Chisolm people, and about
half of the McGovern people.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? It
means that the lobbying effort now
falls upon your shoulders. It
means that we stand an excellent(
chance of getting it adopted into the
Majority platform on the convention
floor in Miami Beach, BUT
YOU MUST BE IN MAIAMI BEACH
TO LOBBY DAY ANDNIGHTWITH
THE DELEGATES TO THE CONVENTION.
Gay Rights will now be
brought to the floor for the first
time in history for debate by a
major national political party.

GROUP CAN CONVINCE THE DELEGATES
TO ADOPT THE GAY

MOTORCYCLE GANG INV ADES
QUEEN'S POINT -
Dallas Police Refuse Help
Nobody wanted the beach. It
was not particularly scenic, it was
difficult to find and almost impossible
to get to. So the gays claimed
it and named it Queen's Point. Gay
men and women had been gathering
there on weekends foralmostadecade.
Then at 5:20, Sunday June 4th, all
hell broke lose. It started when about
20 to 30 members of the motorcycle
gang. The Paisanos suddenly
appeared at the entrance of
Queen's Point. Obscenities were
hurled: faggots, cocksuckers! One
man unbuttoned his pants, took out
his cock, pissed and yelled to the
startled gay men and women who
had been swimming,sunbathing,and
picnicing.
"Sure would like for some queer
to lick the head of my dick for about
an hour".
The Paisanos were "flying their
colors" - a rectangular black patch
with red lettering and yellow trim
on the back of sleeveless denim
shirts.
The startled gays were unprepared
for a fight and were defenseless.
Most quickly took down their
tents, jumped into their cars and
fled. When about half the crowd
had left, the Paisanos moved onto
the beach telling everyone to get
their fucking asses off the beach
and never come back. They hit
some of the guys with belts and
kicked a few butts. One motorcyclist
pulled a knife, but no one was
seriously injured.
As the cars were leaving the
area, motorcyclists lined both
sides of the dirt road and hit the
passing cars with their belt buckles.
Some windowglass was smashed.
Upholstry was slashed with
knifes in two cars, and a small
Honda stationwagon had the wiring
torn out so that it could not be moved.
The trunk lid of another car
was almost torn off.
One man attempted to stop the
gay flight by parking his car across
the road and urging gays to stand
and fight. His efforts were in vain.
A Lincoln-Coitinental tried to
quickly leave the area, but was harrassed
by a gang member who
swerved in and outofthepathofthe
car. The driver, trying to miss the
motorcyclist but unable to do so,
ran over the cycle and the rider
suffered two broken ribs and a concussion.
b backing up,the LincolnContinental
backed into a fence post
and smashed in the rear of his car.
The motorcyclist was taken to a
hospital, but refused to press charges.
Several gays appealed for help to
the Denton Police officer whose
squad car was parked at the entrance
to the Point. The officer be-job.
Get your ass out of here".
Many gays heard this remark. Later
two Denton officers were seen
drinking beer with a couple of the
gang members.
Seeing they could get no help
from the Denton County police,
the State Police were called, but
they too refused to do anything
for the gays being attacked on the
Point.
Later that afternoon, some of
the gays asked Dennis Sisk, the
owner of Dallas' largest gay bar
The Bayou Landing if he would
help them organize, so that the
following Sunday, gays could retake
their beach. Battle plans were made.
In the meantime, Bob Jones of
the Dallas Free Church met with
the leader of the Paisanos and got
his consent that the motorcycle
gang would not return to the beach.
To make sure there would be no
confrontation the following Sunday,
the motorcycle gang organized a
run to Lake Texoma, and later a
party was held for them at their
favorite hangout The Bussler.
Three Sundays have passed since
that event and there has been no
more trouble. Peace has returned
to Queen's Point.
If you were not at Margaret's
party at Queen's Point, you missed
something. The place was packed.
Gay people have been gathering on
this tiny, sandy, peninsula on warm
weekends for almost a decade. But
this time it was different. It was the
end of GAY PRIDE WEEK andt'V's
Bar treated the crowd to free Texas
size hot dogs and beer.
We rompedinthewater,sunbathed
drank beer, and camped. Many
wore "Gay is Good", and "Out of
the Closets Into the Streets" buttons.
The crowd talked enthusiastically
about the success of the parade
and everyone anticipated a much
larger parade next year. Many said
they were afraid to join the parade
this year, but would never be afraid
again.
It was a good thing to say, because
at that moment two police
cars entered the point. One was a
Denton County Sheriff car, the
other was the Lake Dallas Police
car. No arrests were made, nor
did anyone run. Asagoodwillgesture,
some wanted to offer the police
a hot dog and beer, but before
we could get them ready, the police
cars drove away.
The gay community owe's Margaret
a special "thanks" for the
time, money, and effort she spent
in our behalf.

ABC.
Mr. Shannon is now preparing
to do a new TV series for one of

San Carlos, California -- A
former Houston paper boy has
made world-wide church history by
becoming the first known homosexual
ordained to the ministry
by a major r eligious group.
William Reagan Johnson, 26, was
ordained by the Golden Gate Assn.
of the United Church of Christ
(UCC) on the 15th anniversary of
the two- million member denomination.
The ordination took place Sunday
night in the Community United
Church of Christ in San Carlos,
twenty miles south of_ San F rancisco.
Among the 150 in attendance
were the Rev. Mr. Johnson's
mother, Mrs. Minnie Johnson, and
his twin brother, Wayne Johnson,
from Houston.
As a youth in Houston's Ease
End, Bill Johnson attended Henderson
Elementary School and Jackson
Junior High and graduated in the
top quarter of the class of 1964
at Stephen F . Austin Senior High.
In high school, he was president
of the Youth Fellowship at First
Evangelical Church and president
of the Christian Youth Council
of Houston.
He delivered The Chronicle
throughout his junior and senior
high school years.
After winning the Stephen F .
Austin Senior High PTA scholar-
In the last issue of the NUNTIUS
we ran an article "Gay Prisoner
Seeks Letters."
We gave the name and address
of Alvin Buchanan along with his
number. There were letters written
but returned by the Texas
Prison system stating that the
letters were not received from
persons on the approved list for
the captioned inmate to receive
correspondence from.

ship at his high school graduation
(given annually to a graduate
whose life execmplifies strong
character and commitment), Johnson
graduated from Elmhurst College
in Elmhurst, Ill., and Pacific
School of Religion in Berkley, Cal.
For the summer (1964-1966) he
worked for Cameron Iron Works,
Inc., in Houston.
Johnson's ordination service included
a modern dance interpertation
of "Bridge Over Troubled
Waters," the presentation of a
cream-colored rose and gold
butterfly-designed stole symbolizing
the resurrection, and the whole
congregation sharing in the layingon-

Reference to Johnson's homosexuality
was made by the Rev.
William Eichhorn in his charge
to the new minister.
"In being honest, you have
chosen authenticity," he said " and
risked sharing yourself with the
rest of us. That risk is not only
liberating you, it is liberating many
of us as well."
Johnson is now serving with the
Tentmaker Ministry in Southern
California. A Hollywood bank teller
by day, he spends evenings and
weekends helping to establish new
religious communities among
those disillusioned by the church.

GADFL.Y
I claim to be no expert on trends
Specifically, trends in the publication
of periodicals. More specifically
in the publication of summer
issues, e.g. June-July or JulyAugust.
Most specifically, the insertion
of items, merely for the
record, in such summer issues.
But I do have several suspicions.
The first rather resembles a conviction.
It is this: that summertime
issues are not read with a high
degree of avidity.
My second suspicion is completely
dependent upon the first.
Quite conceivably, editors approve
for publication in summertime
issues items that deserve to get
in print, if only "for the record."
They may or may not be controversial.
They may or may not
be newsworthy. But, at least, due
note has been taken of them. And
if, at some future date, they happen
to catch the eye of a more careful
and critical reader, they can be
shrugged off as beirlg no longer
relevant.
My third suspicion is much more
certain than the other two. Also,

them. It is this: that what I say
will be ignored. And precisely by
those people who should call for
action. For too long have they
suffered an indignity to their
physical person, a degree of disruption
in the ordering of their
leisure, and an unconscionable
strain upon their finances.
Specifically, I should, if for
nothing else but the record, like
to demand, in the July issue of
NUNTIUS, that Houston's only gay
movie theatre exercise itself in
some self-improvement. And I
have already suggested three distinct
areas in which this selfimprovement
might be accomplished.
First, respect for the physical
persons of the patrons. One should
not have to squirm his way into
his seat, only to entertain the
possibility that said seat might
soon collapse forward on the floor
together with its cash customer.
Secondly, there is a courtesy
to which all cinemeddicts have
grown accustomed and which here
is honored by the breach rather
than in the observance. It just
may be that certain patrons are
interested only in viewing the
interested only in viewing the
feature and not in sitting through
a series of featurettes. So why not
a schedule of showings in the morning
Post ad? Surely the celluloid
*
does not so frequently sizzle or
come apart as to render such
a schedule ridiculous!
Finally, there is the most important
item of all: the utterly
outlandish price of admission. So
far as I can recall, only one
explanation has ever been offered
for the high cost of the movie
ticket at such a theatre. Owing to
the nature of the material being
shown, there was the everpresent
possibility of court cases and consequent
legal fees. So the management
had to fortify itself with a
fat roll of bills. But that was
several years ago. Now, "everything
goes"--except the uniform
high price of admission, week-

day matinees included.
Now, I am not so naive as to
suppose that my demands will be
met. As I have already suggested,
what I have written is merely for
the record. Since we enjoy freedom
of speech, someone should speak
out. And since there is freedom
of the press, what he has written
deserves to be recorded.
But may I confess in conclusion
to a degree of misgiving? If my
demands are not met, may it not
be owing--at least in some degree
--to the fact that many more of
us feel we have "never had it
so good." And so, " why rock
the boat?"

mittee, argued loudly with the Afterwards, one of the San Jose
women that the sign they were
carrying ("Off Prick Power") was
obscene and that they would not
be permitted to carry it in the
parade. After verbal altercation,
the women walked away.
Later, as the women were standing
on the sidewalk deciding what
to do, Broshears and the greysuited
man came up to them and
warned them not to carry their
sign in the parade. When they
attempted to discuss the matter,
the two men grabbed the sign and
tore it to shreds, shoving one
of the women in the process. Broshears
then called over four
policemen who confirmed his
opinion on the sign's obscenity
and told the women they would not
be permitted to carry the sign.
One of the women reported that the
grey-suited man told her that his
briefcase contained a knife which
he was prepared to use on troublemakers
if necessary. The women
did later make a second sign on
their own which they carried in
the parade.
The second incident occurred
on the steps of City Hall after
the parade, when dignitaries were
being introduced and awards given
out. One of the lesbians, Chris
Nunez, attempted to gain access
to the microphone to ask why
the women had been shoved previously.
She was prevented access
by Broshears in spite of demands
by many in the crowd that she be
permitted to speak.
After the completion of the ceremonies,
Broshears was approached
by several of the San Jose women
who wanted to discuss the question
of their treatment. Brashears attempted
to evade the questioning
by leaving the area. But a large
crowd had pressed around to sec
what was happening thus hindering
his departure. To the Gay
Sunshine reporter who witnessed
this incident Broshears appeared
extremely agitated. He shouted
stridently that the women had
not participated in the planning
stages of the parade and knew
nothing of the rules laid down.
Suddenly, without provocation he
sprang himself forward, launching
himself bodily into the midst of
the women, striking out furiously in
all directions.
women was quoted as saying that
"we only came up here to develop
some solidarity with our gay
brothers." Asked if the parade
seemed male-dominated, one
woman replied, "Oh God, is it
ever!''
The Gay Sunshine Collective,
which editorially criticized the
parade as sexist and malechauvinist
in our June issue, bas
issued the following statement:
"Never has the distance between
the so-called leadershlp of the Bay
Area gay movement and the rank
and file been more apparent than
in this incident. The male chauvinism
demonstrated by the parade
organizers and by many participants
is too obvious to require
detailed analysis. We are disgusted
by the Rev. Broshears' conduct
and would remind him that all the
parades in the world will produce
no sexual liberation as long as
men persist in this sort of behavior
toward women. We have
long believed that the parade was
dominated by a bankrupt "leadershlp"
thoroughly out of touch with
its constituency. This physical assault
on gay women confirms our
opinion. Broshears reminds us of
a character in Oscar Wilde's play
Lady Windermere's Fan, of whom
another character remarks, 'He
thinks like a Tory and talks like
a Radical, and that's so important
nowadays.'
" We call upon the sponsoring
organizations to repudiate Broshears'
sexist behavior (as well
as to examine their own behavior
toward women) and to issue an
immediate apology to the San Jose
women. We also call upon our
gay women and men to stop acquiescing
in the state of affairs
which presently exists in the Bay
Area gay liberation struggle. If

we continue to remain passive, we

DALLAS GAY BAR OWNER LIKES GAY$$$$
CAN'T SUPPORT GA Y'S?
"I have a business to run. I
can't afford to be in the parade.
Those who marched in the parade
didn't have anything to lose." This
statement was made by a gay bar
owner in Dallas following Dallas'
first GAY PRIDE PARADE.
The people who had the courage
to march down Main Street last
June 24th laid their jobs on the
line. People marched who had
worked years building a career.
They marched so that gy
They marched so that gay people

with dignity. And yet this bar owner
claims she had more to lose.
"I'm afraid to have the name of my
bar in the parade because straight
people might come in my place
and tear it up." The Parade Chairman
suggested to the bar owner
that she need not have the name
of her bar in the parade if she
did not wish, but she need only
support the rights of gay people
by participating in the parade. The
bar owner refused.

VISITS PERKINS
After the picnic at Flag Pole
Hill, White Rock Lake Park, Dallas
on Saturday, June 24, I visited Perkins
School of Theology on the
Southern Methodist University
campus. I am a former Perkins
student, having withdrawn from
the seminary in 1968.
I wore my Gay Liberation Tshirt
and carried several copies
of the NUNTIUS with me. I spoke
with two Perkins students and one
Perkins professor. All of them
were aware that we had held a
Gay Pride Parade downtown that
morning. The Perkins professor
with whom I visited had just returned
to the Perkins faculty from
three years with the University of
Chicago faculty . He is a former
systematic theology professor of
mine, Dr. Shubert Ogden.
Mr. Odgen asked me if I had
talked· to Gene Leggett, and I told
him, yes, I had. Ogden seemed glad
to see me. He was genial and
friendly. I gave him a hug with
one arm as we left.
I also stopped by Highland Park
United Methodist Chur ch, whose
9,000-member congregation is the
largest in United Methodism. Pul-ling
off a gentle "zap," I neatly
folded a June issueofthe NUNTIUS
so that the editorial on page 12
showed up clearly, with the headline
"Methodists Anti-Gay, AntiSex"
and inserted this gentle reminder
on the edge of the pulpit
of the church, with the hope that
the preacher would see it and read
it on Sunday morning.

BEWARE PARK HOT
It seems that the Houston Police
Department personel are still on
duty in Memorial Park·. Entrapment
is the name of the game that
is played by this group of law
enforcement agents.
It seems that they travel in
ones and twos enticeing visitors
to the park into compromising
situations. One or two will go into
the "bushes" after having attracted
some unsuspecting individual
and made overtures so that they
are followed. If alone, the other
officer is somewhere hiding where
he can witness what is happening.
There is also an officer in an
un-ma rked white car that patrols
the park area. This officer is said
to have harassed a number of
people for frequent visits to the
known "cruse" areas. He made
the statement to one of the persons
he told not to return to the par k,
" I have jailed six of you here
lately."
As in pastissuesoftheNUNTIUS
Memorial Park has been mentioned
as a "no-no" spot, this
condition has not improved so for
healthy cr using it is suggested
that you go elsewhere.

A HISTORIC COLLECTION OF
GAY ART by Felix Lance Falkon,
a Greenleaf Classic GP613, published
by Greenleaf Classics, Inc.,
3511 Camino Del Rio South, San
Diego, Ca. 92120; $6.50 in paperback,
224 pages with profus illustrations.
If ever there was a gay volume
that had something for everyone,
this must be it! If you're the scholarly
type, you will most likely
discover that the narrative accompany
the erotic illustrations
will be just your cup of tea. On
the other hand, if you're a onehanded
reader of erotic literature
and drawings, then the very
sexy illustrations will be your focal
point.
HISTORIC COLLECTION devotes
relatively little space to a consideration
of ancient homosexual
art. Perhaps this is just as well
since few gay readers would be
turned on as much by ancient art as
they are by Steve Masters, Tom of
Finla nd, Robin, Nate, Hank, and
their contemporaries.
It should be noted that for those
who have a particular aversion to
the S/M scene, rapes, gang bangs,
and the like -- you will find an auundance
of this type of drawing in
HISTORIC COLLECTION. Almost
all of it, however, is in good taste
and the milder examples of this artistic
genre may be a turn-on to
even those who do not normally get
excited by domination or S/M.
Readers will be pleased to renew
acquaintance with some of their
old friends , artists whose work
they have enjoyed in the past, and
to study drawings which perhaps
they have never before see_n.

ture story of a hitchhiker and a
motorcyclist having six in a barn
during a thunderstorm, Hank (famous
for the brutal stud and the
lusty phallus), and Steve, Masters,
who also was obsessed with the virile
dominant male figure , the policeman
and the cyclist.
Tom is represented in the volume
with several of his sketches of sailors
and linemen. "Sleeping Together",
a relaxed sodomy soene
by the youthful artist Robin, is
also present.
Complementing the drawings
which are strictly erotic are those
which are explicitly or implicitly
humorous. Kevin's "Sexy Science
Fiction Stories", as well as his sketch
·or a nude sailor and a naked
Hawaiian(both with giant erections)
dancing the hula, are prominent examples
of this type.
Graewolf's "Fishing", in which
well-formed penises are used as
fishing poles, was drawn in a similarly
whimsical mood.
Falkon's commentary accompanying
the drawings supplies biographical
data about the artists.
· Although brief, this material is
both informative and genuiJlely absorbing.
The narrative also delves into
themes, and Falkon has devoted
special sections to preliminaries,
the "main event", orgies, and
" dungeons and domination".
The superstud is perhaps best
illustrated by Tom's " Magnificent
Cyclist", in which a young man
shows off his basket to a group of
young admirers, several of which
seem about to display their own organs
for comparison.
It will become obvious to all but
the superficial reader that this
book is more than merely a piece
of male erotica. It is erotic, but
more than that, its compelling commentary,
tasteful selection of
relevant works of art, and insightful
comments on the gay scene -all
of these factors render HISTORIC
COLLECTION abookofenduring
significance.
