Incompetence. - Former
Reader
ARSON IN
FARMHOUSE
Ann Landers, in a recent column FIRE
appearing in The Houston
Chronicle, publishes a Jetter from
a homosexual agonising over her
description of us as "sick" people.
He claims Mrs. Landers has now
"turned on us like a jungle animal"
and he is sorely distressed by it.
Rubbish! Surely by now this sort
of sexual fascism should no longer
come as a surprise to anyone.
Mrs Landers is only expressing
her conditioned response to a sexual
morality utterly alien to her.
Her religious and social training
has firmly established in her own
mind the inadmissability of such
human expressions of sexual and
emotional realities. She does no .
more in defence of her sexual
fascism than do other bigots when
they appeal to some dubious biblical
injunction construed to permit
inhuman behavior against us when
she calls up some medical practitioners
whose bias supports her
own. It is a typical avoidance of
the real issue, and it gives considerable
comfort to the sexual
fascists who need to require obedience
to their own sexual modalities.
While understanding the anguish
and sense offrustration experienced
by the author of the letter to
Mrs Landers, we do not sympathise
that much with him. The reason is
quite simple: we believe the time
is Jong past when gay human beings
should fall down before sexual
fascists and beg them for acceptance
and understanding. It is
a frightful waste of time. And it is
an admission of the correctness of
the cruel and inhumane treatment
dispensed by these sexual fascists.
Such behavior on our part, collectively
or individually, can only
serve to confirm us in a state of
servitude to the sexual fascists.
We should get on with the business
of building a sense of dignity and
self-worth; we should ignore the
patronising rationalisations handed
down from on high by the sexual
fascists who profoundly enjoy their
social tyranny over us. We must
realise finally that they enjoy that
tyranny only at our sufferance. It
can, and must, be ended.
We must continue to develop
within the gay community and increasing
sense of personal pride
and begin to grant our acceptance
to those sexual fascists, rather
than implore their specious acceptance
of us. And that acceptance
can only be gained by their rising
above their principles and becoming
more human, more humane and
more responsible for their own
behavior towards their fellow man.
The American Psychological
Association will consider formally
removing the category of homosexuality
from their list of mental
illnesses in their forthcoming national
convention. Well and good.
Hopefully these professionals will,
indeed, accept this progressive
change in their formal doctrines.
Eventually such an act would have
profoundly beneficial results for a
considerable part of the world's
human community. But homosexual
and bisexual human beings should
not depend on such public evidences
of professional understanding in
place of our own self-acceptance
and self-respect! This is something
only we ourselves can do for
ourselves; we must stop reacting
to the rubbish promulgated by the
sexual fascist. We must begin to
act for our own well-being and
ignore the attempts of the sexually
bigoted and exercise a tyranny
of life-style over us.
We must live our own lives in
harmony with our own nature, not
theirs.
The below is a reprint of the
Ann Landers column in the Houston
Chronicle, March 5, 1973.
ANSWER
Dear Former: I have read
them, but I don't happen to
agree with the authors. I am
with the psychiatrists who believe
homosexuals are sick
and thst sex between two men
or two women Is 11DDBtural. I
can 11.sten to and respect opinions
different from my own,
however, without becoming
angry, shocked, or outraged.
Some hlghly reputable phylicianJ
are on the other side of
this argumenl Here are some
samples of my mail:
From the British West Indies:
Dear Ann Landers: May
I congratulate you on your
concise and perspicacious an-·
Rwel' to a homosexual who

changed completely. You are
right when you say homosexuals
are sick and their sex activity
Is unnatural. It la diffi.
cult to explain to a homosexual
just how sick and 11DDBtural
It Is. They refuse to b&lieve
It. But I know, because
rve been there and back. -
Forever Straight
From Tope ii: a, Kansas:
'lbank you for stating that You H ave homosexuality Is an illness. I
made the same statement on
March 3rd about 5:25 A.M. the
fire trucks were again called out
to one of the leading Gay clubs
to douse a fire deliberately set.
The Farmhouse Club, 3535
Westheimer was the scene of this
latest attempt after a lapse of about
two years to I urn one of the communities
plac :lS of recreation.
Mr. Gene Howel, operator of
the Farmhouse has been looser
before as a result of his club,
The Plantation on West Gray having
been burned.
Arson investigators said that
the building had been entered
through a vent in the rear. A screen
had been cut to admit entrance
and the fire ha!! definitely been
set in a storage room. The room
had some lumber stored in it and
this is where the fire had been
set. Had it not been discovered
when it was the club would have
been distroyed completely as the
fire was set next to one of the
main walls inside the club.
From past experience the
owners have someone at the club
at all times and this is what
s·aved this club.
At this time there is no knowledge
as to the person responsible
for this fire but itis under investigation
by the Houston Arson Squad.

were shocked to hear that Rocco,
one of the doormen at this private

The loss to Ted was around
$300.00.
The night of the robbery Ted
scouted around the bus stations

CRUISING AROUND
"BIG D"
Have we ever had some beautiful
days in Big D!! Just yesterday
enroute to our den of loveliness
Flame and Mother saw this gorgeous
number roaming around Turtle
Creen but didn't have time to stop
and check it out!! Today it's raining
like hell!
It has been a fun-filled month
for Mother. Mr. Terry Lee had a
birthday -- spent she was afterwards.
Had a little birthday party
for Dougaline (roommate) and No.
1 son Joey. Sipped on a little
citrus and Mother cooked up a
divine meal.
We caught Fertilizers live show
at Ronsue's one night, and it was
like old times. Love that old pussy!!
That trashy old Sallie Marie has
been barred from birthday parties
- - - - - Honey, the trial and tribulations
of a star!! Lost her wallet,
r
service has been great. Love that
Tiki Room where everyone is a
star because they deserve it!!!
Like that trashy old Bertina - -
says she's doing column for competitive
mag. called "Bert's Bottom"
that will put "Mom's Mouth"
out of business! !! Up yours too
Bertina! She'd love it!!
One of our more interesting
cruisy areas, White Rock Lake,
is hotter than a pistola. There's
a lot of hunky numbers out there,
but many of them Tillie Blue
Shirts in Drag. Mother's advice is,
do your hooter hunting someplace
else. For further information you
may contact Sara Lee (with the
cream filled buns) at our address
here at the Detour - Dallas.
For those of you who will be
visiting our city in the future, it
is inevitable you will run into
this matronly figure who will in
all probability walk up to you and
say "Hello, my name is Dave
Bradley and I'm new in town"
this is not a prefabrication but a
'Trade Mark.' The name is Dave
Bradley, alias Big Mable, Alias
Miss Management of the Filla
Fontana!! Love you too Greg (Little
Melvin).
We had a Valentine Ball - more
pretty girls flying around town -
made Mother feel like a bitch at
a family renuion. Sallie Marie
and Sheri Powers were here with
our regular cast and other guests.
Mr. Tina won out on Best Proffesional
with Mary Wilson and Mr.
Golda 1st and 2nd runners up. Mr.
Mary Wilson scarffed up on the
sweetheart trophy. Then there was
Mr. Jama, a girl that should be
a real girl! She won best amature
with Mr. Cooke as 1st runner up.
Mother could never be a judge for
these gala affairs - Everyone can't
win, and how could a mother
choose?
Caught Mr. David's show on a
Wednesday night, and honey she
just floats thru the entire show
with the greatest of ease! How
dare you poke humar at my very
used up scuffies. I like your
straight ??? man Mr. Dickie too!!
It was a very good show and a very
receptive audience!
Our citrus business has been so
good Flame Flemming is contemplating
a citrus grove on the back
parking lot. That's between tours
to Nacagdoches and the "Peris of
Pauline" - that blue streak you
can see on almost any Friday
between Big D and the city mentioned
above is only Flame in her
almost flying machine- - - - -
There's a couple of new bars
opened, one the Palace on Gaston -
a beer bar. Go by and meet Pete
and Earnest. The other is the
Ramrod on Fitzhugh. Sorry to say
I haven't seen it yet, but one night
soon will put a dress on and will
tell all next month.
This epistle must come to a
screeching halt. I could go on and
on telling you about all the lovely
people I meet and talk to daily
and nightly - - but - - my very
to everyone in Houston - and all
over - come see us!!!

Montrose Gaze
First Dance
The Montrose Gaze Community
Center held its first dance of '73
February 24, 504 Fairview and
Whitney, the centers location. The
dance, which featured bop music
from the Fifties era, drew in
about thirty-five dance fanatics
which entertained the 9-room center
with antics uncommon to todays
dance styles. The dance was considered
a minimal success and it
is expected the "Beatles" dance
to be held March 10th will be an
even bigger success with light
displays and featured music and
atmosphere from the mostpopular
recording artists of the decade- -
the Beatles.

Remarks: ___________________________ _
(The below is from THE PRODIGAL,
January 21, 1973 and we
feel it is interesting and should
be passed on to those of you who
do not receive this MCC publication.)
While it will probably never
rank with such classics as Lady
Chatterly's Lover and The Tropic
of Cancer, the PRODIGAL has
been criticized on occasion for its
frank treatment of sexual themes.
These denouncers have pointed out
that a religious publication should
concern itself more with spreading
the wor
the Word of God than with such
"worldly" subjects. The Word of
God, eh? Well, let us look at the
manner in which the Bible handles
the subject.
One hasn't far to look. Genesis
16.4 in fact mentions the subject
very modestly:
And he (Abraham) went in unto
Hagar, and she conceived ...
Very modest? Yes, until one
finds that a direct translation from
the Hebrew gives a much more
frank and open view:
And he (Abraham) went gushing
into Hagar, and she conceived ..
And all of the "went in unto's"
in the Old Testament can be translated
as above.
Or take for an instance the
sordid affairs related in Genesis
38:1-25. (You'll have to read that
one yourself as it is too long to
quote entirely.) Onan spilling his
seed on the ground--now we all
understand that one, don't we? Or
Judah taking his daughter-in-law
to bed believing her to be a whore.
Strange goings-on for a religious
book to concern itself with.
And the sad case of Lot and his
daughters. In the nineteenth
chapter of Genesis, the daughters
say to one another:
Our father is old, and there is
not a man in the earth to come
into us (THAT phrase again!) after
the manner of all the earth: Come,
let us make our father drink wine,
and we will lie with him, that we
may preserve seed of our father.
And they did lay with him and
conceived two children who became
the progenitors of two of Israel's
greatest enemies, Moab and
Ammon.
And how are we to judge the
supposed author of the Pentateuch,
Moses? Perhaps it would be good
to consider the estimation given
in Deuteronomy 34:7.
And Moses was an hundred and
twenty years old when he dies:
his eyes were not dim nor his

natural force abated.
Considering the correct version
for the words translated "his natural
force abated", we come up
with an entirely different picture
of the man:
And Moses was one hundredtwenty
years old when he died:
his eyes were good and his waters
were not dried up (Hebrew idiom
which means he could still ejaculate).
things? To degrade the Bible to
to a Grade B novel? NO! But
simply to point out that the Word
of God does not pull punches but
deals with the fact of real people
living in real situations and does
not consider doing so to be irrelevant
to its religious outlook.
The great king of Israel, David,
makes the same use of this idiom
in Psalm 32:4.
. . . my moisture is turned into
the drought of summer.
And on and on it goes. The affair
between David and Bathsheba; the
Song of Solomon, and even the
method for referring to men slain
in a battle:
The PRODIGAL must deal with
life also. It must as a publication
dedicated to God teach men
how to treat their fellow men with
consideration and love. And since
even the Bible considers sex an
important part of life, it is both
expedient and relevant to deal with
considerate and loving manners i.n
relation to the sex act in a religious
publication.
I close with this quotation from
Titus 1:15.
. . . There was not left unto
Nabal by the morning light any
that pisseth against the wall.
(I Sam. 25:34)
But why point out all of these
Unto the pure all things are
pure: but unto them that are defiled
and unbelieving is nothing pure:
but even their mind and conscience
is defiled.

HOUSTON .P.O.
ENTRAPMENT
Four per sons were arrested by
vice officers the last week of
Bebruary in Houston's Northline
Shopping Center.
About 4:30 p.m. on a weekday,
a Houston school teacher walked
into the public restroom at the
North line Shopping Center. Inside
one of the toilet stalls sat a man
exposing himself and being obvious
about it. Another of the stalls was
occupied and a man stood in the
open area where the Jatreens and
wash basins are.
The teacher entered one o{ the
booths and shortly therearter the
man so obviously exposing himself
went outside, only to return
twice more in a very short period
of time. Meanwhile another man
had entered the facilities making
it four. There was some playing
around and indication that perhaps
there might be something afoud
about to happen when the door
burst open and the vice offiver
came in announcing that all were
under arrest.
The four men were first taken
to the security office of the shopping
center where the police were
called to take them to the jail.
Several hours later they were
charged with Loitering although
the threat of sodomy charges had
been made. After the Loitering
charge had been made the four
posted bond and were released
about midnight.
Not being satisfied with having
made their arrests, filed their
charges, received the fines and
bonds, embarassed and harrassed
their prisoners, the Houston
Police Department then
directed calls to inform the
principal of the school of the
teachers entrapment. The information
given to the principal or
the affect it will have on the
teacher is not known at this time.
The tea<:,her is, however, employing
legal council in the event any
action is taken by the Houston
Independent School District as a
result of his arrest and the subsequential
information related by
the Police Department.
The teacher in question is a
retired military man and is as -
sociated with the R.O.T.C. program
in the school where he teaches.
The principal of the school
reported the arrest to the military
personel placement director who
in turn inquired of the teacher
about the circumstances surrounding
his arrest.
It seems in the mind of the
general public "Loitering" is
wrongfully considered strictly a
homosexual charge. The military
personel director stated to the
subject that the information he had
would go no further than his desk.
The word of this individual to
keep to himself what he had "been
told" is yet to be seen and will
not be known until this coming
August when it is time for renewal
of the teaching contracts for the
coming school year.
Are the arresting officers fully
doing their jobs. Loitering is a
misdemeanor, so is a traffic ticket
II I ) II'
yet you are not taken to jail in
all instances and we have yet to
hear of an employer being informed
of an employee getting a trafic
citation.
One of the four persons arrestee
owned his own florist business - -
he posted the cash bond of $27 .50
same as the others and has heard
nothing from our "qualified
guardian judges" in the Houston
Police Department.
The forfiture of the "cash bond"
posted for the release of a person
charged with "Loitering" is not a
plea of guilty, yet, unless in th's
instance, the teacher in question
contests the charge -- the as sumption
of the informed persons
whith whom he works will be the
same as if the charge were "sodomy.''
The teacher has a family, fortunately
when told in detail by the
police of her husbands arrest - -
she questioned the honesty of the
informant -- she believes in circumstantial
happenings and knows
her husband from years and years
of marriage. Her intention is to
forget the happening as an unfortunate
incident - - yet can she - -
at the possible cost of thousands
and thousands of dollars to her
family.
Contesting this misdemeanor
will be costly to the defendant
which cannot be recovered from the
state upon winning the case. Having
the charge dismissed or thrown out
"just might" to some extent erase
the stigma homosexual drawn by
the people informed of the arrest.
Regardless of the action deemed
necessary by this individual - -
a complete win is impossible - -
thanks to the vice officer who

REDEFINING
HOMOSEXUALITY'S
LABEL
In most societies homosexuals
have had to fight for the freedom
of their feelings or hide for fear
of condemnation. A major factcr
in society's censure of homosexuality
has been that sexual desires
outside the heterosexual realm are
often viewed as mental aberrations.
But to most homosexuals
these desires are real, no matter
what their basis. Accordingly.
members of the Gay Activists
Alliance have requested that the
American Psychological Association
remove homosexuality from its
official catalogue of mental disorders.
The gay activists charged
that such labeling (sexual deviation)
results in discrimination
against homosexuals in business
and government. They presented
medical findings showing that
homosexuals are as well adjusted
as most heterosexuals. The AP A's
manual of mental disorders is not
due for revision until 1978, but an
AP group intends to draw up a
statement disavowing the old
classification. They hope to have it
ready for formal consideration
wlten the APA meets this May.

MAUGHAM ON THE MAUGHAMS
"Overshadowed, queer, alcoholic,
I should have been a complete
failure. To this day I am still
surprised when the critical or
financial success of one of my
novels, or plays, or films in
various countries would seem to
suggest that I am a success. But
I am not a success in my own
eyes for reasons which this book
will certainly reveal."
The book is Escape From The
Shadows - - An Autobiography -
(McGraw-Hill, $8.95). Its frank,
outspoken, bitter and immensely
talented author: Robin Maugham.
The shadows in the title: that of
his father, Lord Chancellor of
England, and the shadow of his
uncle, Somerset Maugham.
attracted towards his own sex than
towards girls, yet who was so
imbued by the strict upper-middleclass
conventions in which he lived
that he was stricken with guilt by
his homosexual desires and tried to
make himself normal - - and at
times succeeded.''
The war years made Maugham
realize that he was predominantly
homosexual, he further reveals,
and "the guilt of that realization
turned me to drink . . . . My
life has been a struggle to cope
with my homosexual passions, a
struggle to deal with my desire
to drink myself into oblivion."
Teen Friend Is
Not Psychiatrist
(Dallas Morning News Feb. 26,
Jean Adams' Teen Forum)
FEAR OF DEVIATION: Q. I am
17 and have never felt anything for
a girl. I kissed one, but felt
nothing. But I have felt something
for one of my best friends, who
is a boy. Every time I am near
him I get this wonderful feeling.
When I don't see him I am sad.
But I have not had any physical
contact with him. I told one of my
other friends about him and he
said I might be half boy and half
girl. When I was little I loved
dolls. I still love stuffed animals.
I have two. Please help me. I
can't afford a psychiatrist, so
please don't recommend one. -Mixed
Up in Mississippi.
A. Ignore what your other friend
told you. He has no qualifications
for judging or advising you. It
is not unusual for a boy to think
highly of a male friend and to
miss him when he is absent. Love
is a beautiful thing and it is possible
for boys or men to love each
other in ways that have nothing to
do with sex. Also many teen-age
boys like stuffed animals--some
, even collect them. You will
probably find a girl later who
will appeal to you. Don't consider
yourself a homosexual until and
unless you have more evidence.
Why not have an intimate conversation
with your school
counselor or minister? Either, if
you seem to need help and really
cannot afford it, can refer you to
come community agency for counseling.
Sex Reform Argued
Bonn, Germany -- WestGerman
lawmakers are debating a package
of legal reforms that would liberalize
outdated sex laws but crack
down on television violence to protect
minors.
Provisions of the bill include
lowering the permissible age limit
for homosexual acts between consenting
males from 21 to 18, permitting
the now restricted sale of
pornography and lifting an outright
ban on such activities as wife-·
swaping.
The amendment would still permit
prosecution of pimps and
brothel owners.
Another provision would permit
pornography to be published and
sold to anyone over 18, with the
exception of films and literature
with sadism, bestiality and child
molesting.

Servant, The Second Window, and

Dallas Girls Form D.O.B.
The oldest Lesbian organization
Nationwide has come to Dallas
with the formation of a local chapter
this year. The Daughters Of
Bili tis meets the multi-faced needs
of Lesbians through rapsessions,
united front action, counseling,
social opportunities, a library, etc.
The need for such an organization
is very apparent by the response
evidenced at the first
meetings. Outreach and activities
will develop as the women involved
express their needs and then
work together to meet them.
Although a Lesbian organization
by definition, the Dallas' chapter
has established an open door policy
for any woman defining herself as
such regardless of sexual orientation.
The group is presently
operating under a loosely structured
format which allows all women
to participate and share leadership
roles.
Members presently meet twice a
month on first and third Fridays.
First Friday meetings are defined
more as action sessions where
various projects and business are
discussed and worked upon. These
meetings are held at 8 p.m. in the
MCC CommunityCenter at 3834
Ross. The third Fridays are given
over to various consciousnessraising
and rap sessions,
speakers, exchanges with other
Page 6
groups, etc. and the meetings are
held at 2001 Bryan, Bryan Towers,
Suite 290, 8 p.m. Women attending
these sessions may park free
across from the Federal Street
entrance (the only one unlocked at
night) and sign in under any name
they wish to use at the guard I
station, indicating that they are I going to the Women For Change
(WFC- a straight women's lib
group) offices.
Contrary to the .misconceptions
of many, Dallas DOB is not antimale.
The concern is to meet the
needs of women in a free atmosphere
and where inequities are
existent to bring these to light and
dispel them where possible. For
further information call (214) 824-
0770 or write Bx 5944, Dallas .

FARMHOUSE HOSTS
MISS HOUSTON CONTEST
The night of February 28, found
the Farmhouse at 3535 Westheimer
filled to overflowing with anxious
contestants and customers to see
who Miss Houston '73-'74 would
be.
All who attended were warmly
greeted at the door by Lynn or
Gene, the club operators. Upon
leaving the same two were at their
stations to wish all a safe and
happy "good night."
The MC's for the evening were
Kitty Key and Miss Farmhouse '73.
Kitty is known to many as one of
Houston and Dallas' favorite female
impersonators. She has appeared
professionally in Dallas at
Ronsue's and The Bayou Landing,
in Houston, the Farmhouse, Hi
Kamp, Glass Stein, Bayou Landing
and for almost two years was one
of the "Fabulous Four" at the Red
Room.
The numbers by Liza - Nova,
the out-going Miss Houston and
Kitty Key along with Gene were
enjoyed by the awaiting crowd for
the contest to commence. Liza
received notice when the sound-man
put on the wrong record -
being a quality entertainer - the
show did not stop and she was great.
The audience fully understood her
plight and were very polite.
Each of the contestants were
escorted around the stage by Mr.
Farmhouse 1971 - John and Mr.
Farmhouse 1972 - Mark. None
seemed to mind except one of the
"ladies" who brought -her own
with her and they made a very
fine looking couple.

PRISSY, 2ND RUNNER-UP TO MISS HOUSTON
OFFICERS AT S.I.R.
Frank Fitch, 29, is the new
President of the Society For Individual
Rights, the nation's largest
Gay liberation organization.
Mr. Fitch, who served as Public
relations Committee Chairperson
during much of the last year, succeeds
Bill Plath, President for
the last 2 1/2 years. Mr. Plath
did not seek re-election. Don Scott,
who campaigned with Mr. Fitch
as a team, was elected Vice President.
Also elected at the annual membership
meeting were Duke Smith
as Secretary, and Roger Hayden
as Treasurer. The five new Board
members are Jim Foster (of Democratic
National Convention
fame), Gary Miller, Doug De Young,
Deno Thomas and Devin Norton.
After the election results were
announced, Mr. Fitch addressed
the membership briefly. " Thank
you for the vote of confidence
you have given me, as President,
and Don, as Vice President, and
to the program of change we advocate.
For those that ran for a
position and were not elected, be
assured that the membership is
greatful for the dedk.ation you have
demonstrated by the commitment
and would want you to remain a
valuable resource of the Society.
One way you can do this is to
apply for Director of one of the
twelve standing committees." He
asked that any persons in the com-
Page 8
munity who may have felt that their
suggestions for improvement of the
Society had not been given proper
consider atioq in the past, to s tep
forward now. He reminded member
s that Officer s and Board members
would be installed on Wednesday,
February 14th at 8 PM.
At that time the new President
will make his first major policy
statement, that will help to set
the tone and direction of S.I.R.
for the next year . Also, at that
time, the committee Directorships
will be decided upon. This meet ing
is held at the S.I.R. Community
Center at 83 6th Street and
the meeting will be open to public
press.
The membership was also reminded
of the forthcoming 1st
Annual Presentation Banquet on
Saturday, February 17th at 7 PM.
At this time the outgoing Officers
and Board members will be presented
with a commemoration for
their service and the newly elected
Officers and Board will be introduced.

MOVIE REVIEW
The foll
by Al Goldstein
This week am reviewing the
very best porn film ever made,
so superior to others that it defies
comparison. The movie hits the
all-time best score of 100% on
the Peter-Meter, not only for its
raging raunch, but more startlingly
for its wit, wild humor, fine acting
and hilarious story. In fact, this
is the most laudatory review I
have written for any sexploitation
flick since I inaugrated this column
in SCREW on November 4, 1968.
The film was supposed to be
called The Sword Swallower but
the distributors realized that it
would be impossible to advertise
that title in the sterile newspapers
so they opted for the equally bewitching
title of Deep Throat. It
opens March 20th at the Cinema
West, 5341 West Alabama, 626-
0279, Houston.
At the time of this writing, the
distributors were n'ot sure whether
their film would be booked on the
20th for sure but you can varify
this by calling the theatre. If the
film opens on the 20th as scheduled
then I still recommend hiking down
to the Cinema West to see the
GO-second trailer for Deep Throat.
That's almost worth the price of
admission alone: hard rock soundtrack,
fine animation and some
choice glimpses of the film not
only whet the appetite but the
---- as well.
The finely photographed film was
shot in Miami and contains many
new bods for the discerning audience.
The excellent color, high
calibre lighting and good sound all
contribute to make this exemplary
dirty-film making. The star of the
film has fine legs, firm tits, a not
unattractive face and the greatest
mouth action in the annals of the
profession.
Queens will protest they can do
better but mere practice alone does
not a perfectionest make. It takes
heart and these attributes which a
very few run-of-the-mill homosexuals
possess. The girl with the
deep throat is almost a Ripley's
Believe-It-Or-Not as she takes the
WHOLE joint down her gullet. No.
It's not small but a roustabout
in the neighborhood of ten good
inches that plummets into the deepest
recess of the oral cavity;
down, down and down it plunges
until nothing remains. It seems
a miracle, a physical impossibility.
Now. I am blase and bored
with sexploitation flicks and can
respond more to the passions provoked
by a photo of a chocolate
malted. Yet I was seized with
yearning by the greatest on-screen
fellatio since the birth of Christ
performed before my very eyes.
The wholly ingenious plot of Deep
Throat concerns the lady with the
endless throat, and her strange
inability to have an orgasm. Her
delicious roommate helpfully arranges
for two guys to pound her
into oblivion. They do, but our
searching queen still cannot
achieve a climax, so she goes to
a doctor and his examination reveals
that she doesn's have all
the equipment . . . . or at least
not in the orthodox place. Rather,
her sliver is located deep down
her cavernous throat.
Remember the 20th is the day
and the place is Cinema West -
5341 West Alabama.

SCREW at the request of the advertiser.)

Gays Seek Powwow With Webs
The Gay Activists Alliance has
written a letter to the three network
standards and practices
heads requesting a meeting to
discuss, with reference to web
practices codes, the " recent rash
of anti-homosexual remarks, jokes
and characterizations" on the networks.
Signed by the Alliance prez
Bruce Voeller, the letter charges
that the practices chieftans have
not been ensuring that web shows
" contain no slighting or offensive
r eferences to minority groups."
Says the letter, "We have no
objections . . . to humorous remarks
or skits dealing with homosexuality
and depiction of homosexual
characters on television . . .
But sniggering 'fag' and 'dyke'
jokes won't do, nor will the suggestion
that the mere fact of homosexuality
is hilarious. In short,
we do not object to jokes that deal
yuur hostesses
with our lives-but our lives themselves
are not a joke!"
An Alliance spokesman has cited
as acceptable the sketches on the
Burns and Schreiber comedy specials
(ABC) dealing with a homosexual
son and his fathe r , and a
homosexual drunk at a bar asking
a heterosexual couple what they do
sexually. Also, a bit on a Mary
Tyler Moore segment in which two
women are after the same man
who, it turns out to the great relief
of one of the smitten, turns out
to be gay.
On the home scene radio station
KIKK has an announcer of thenews
that seems to have the habit of

THAILAND
NOTORIOUS GAY
CENTER
Bangkok - Thailand has become
one of the world's most notorious
" gay centers," where homosexual
businessmen from all over the
world come " to spend their secret
life at the various gay joints,"
a famous Thai cartoonist told a
pannel dis cussion on " sexual
morality" here.
Prayoon Chanyawong, a 1971
winner of the Ramon Masaysay
Award, revealed that " I have received
more than 100 letters from
transvestities
transvestites telling me about their
secret life.
He said he was "shocked to see
how the world has changed, when
I paid a visit to a gay center the
other day just to observe."

- If it is fear that is blocking the homosexual
from a sexual relationship with a
woman, then Goldstein and his colleagues
work on a process of " desensitization."
In a relaxed setting the patient is
asked, for instance, to imagine holding
the hand of a woman. Does that give him
any pause. If so, at what point? And
why? And so the sessions go on.
In addition to his "satisfactory" heterosexial
life, the patient must also report
end to homosexual contacts and impluses
before his treatment can be called a success.
In ma.iy cases, Goldstein repor ts, the
old homosexual fantasies and desires die
with tbe development of a new heterosexual
life. But in other cases, they
linger on.
To suppress the homosexual urges,
Goldstein and his colleagues in a few
cases use the controversial "aversion
therapy." The patient is shown a slide
designed to arouse his homosexual desires.
Moments later he is given an
electric shock, strong enough so that he
feels relief as the slide fades, the shock
stops, and the slide of a woman appears.
The treatment is repeated and repeated,

MOVIE REVIEW
0 THE EXPERIMENT"
The Experiment, an excellent new film
from Jaguar P roductions, explores the
trauma of a teenager's homosexual
awakening and how he comes to grips
with these inclinations.
Billy Joe lives in one of those southwestern
desert hamlets whose population
can be numbered in two digits, where
a ctivity revolves around the local gas
station-cafe-general store. His father,
Herm, is the proprietor of this business
complex, and Billy Joe helps out pumping
gas - -that is, when he and his buddy,

two also have a secret hideaway, a shack,
and it is here they decide one night to
" experiment" and have a sexual expe!i.ence
together.
It is an intensely emotional experience
for Billy Joe, but Gary is rather indifferent
to its implications. Thinking
himself rejected, Billy Joe runs away,
hoping time and distance will settle his
sexual confusion, but in his flight, he is
picked up and used by a salesman, a
motorist and his hitchhiker, and finally,
in Hollywood, meets a jaded rich boy and
experiences his first orgy.
In the interim, Gary is having second
thoughts about his own sexuality and does
not r esist when picked up by a tourist.
The casual sex act by itself is mean-
. ingless to him, though, and he begins to .
realize that his relationship with Billy
Joe can be both emotional and physical.
Billy Joe confronts his homosexuality
and returns to tell his father, who was
aware of the pr oblem all along and was
waiting for his son to discover himself.
The two boys are reunited, poised on the
threshold of a newly found sexual maturity.

Producer Barry Knight and writerdirector
Gorton Hall are to be commended
for their courage in tackling the
subject of a boy's homosexual awakening,
exploring it in depth, and not letting the
material get out of hand. It's a dangerous
topic , and if treated superficially can
spell cinematic disaster, something that
more than one major studio has learned
the hard way. Perhaps the reason The
Experiment succeeds where other films
have failed is because it was not bound
by the restrictions of the MPAA code
and depicts the sexual encounters as
graphically as necessary, particularly
Billy Joe's first hesitant approach to
homosexuality.
A.propos evolution, The Experiment is
further evidence that producers for the
so-called "pornographic market" are not
afraid to take risks in elevating the whole
genre to new levels oflegitimacy. Another
recent film from Jaguar, Deep Compasion,
also made this attempt, and while it was
less successful in achieving its aims,
nonetheless it was conceptually a giant
step in the right direction.
The makers of both films are to be
applauded for their daring, for affirming
the belief th3it audiences do not park
their mentality~ , at the door of a porno
theatre but wart and expect something to
involve their inds as well as their
libidos.
Now, with the release of Marlon Brando's
Last Tango in Paris, there is no
longer any distinction between explicit sex
scenes in films made for the general
and porno markets. The only difference
is the frequency of these scenes. Audiences
will no longer have to pay $5
for what they can see for $3 down the
block, but the foresighted makers of The
Experiment have a movie to meet this
new challenge.
In addition to having a solid and mature
script, The Experiment has very substantial
production values. Filmed on
location near Palm Springs and Indio,
Barry Knight's photography captures the
scenic beauty of the area as well as the
intimate dramatic scenes with skill and
sensitivity, making full use of every sophisticated
camera movement audiences are
accustomed to in general release films.
Mike Stevens plays Billy Joe, b~
the character to life in a very real and
understated performance. He has keen
competition from Joel Daniels, in the role
of Gary. Daniels almost steals the picture
with a natural and offhand portrayal,
capturing exactly the right moodandcommunicating
it to the audience with small
gestures and facial inflections.
The Experiment was directed by Gorton
Hall from his original screenplay, and he
also plays Billy Joe's father. Hall dominates
his few brief scenes with such a
comanding screen presence that he almost
bursts the seams of the small role. This
is not be be confused with overacting. On
the contrary, it is an obvious abundance
of talent being squeezed into the confines
of a small character. Fortunately his
writing and directing capacities allow him
full vent, and he makes the most of the
opportunity.
Jimmy Hughes is seen as the salesman
and Robert Weaver as the tourist,
with David Blair, Tony Ross, Dave Craig,
Peter Thomas, and Eva Faye completing
the cast.
The Experiment is the first major production
of 1973, and if it is any indication,
this year may prove to be the most exciting
yet for gay filmmakers and audiences
alike.

striving to bring to Houston an

the management, attractive young
swingers who know the score. You
may find the customers as attractive
as the menu!
Dinner is served from 7:30p.m.
until 4 a.m. - this is on the
European style, a House, or fixed
menu. Your pleasure will start with
a trim golden menu delivered by a
delightful Golden Boy! The first
course is the soup of the day,
made on the premises, then a Greek
Peasant Salad with fresh bread;
the main course offers you a
choice of a Fil et Mignon or Kansas
City Strip. Both are genuine Heavy
Prime Beef. A vegatable (no potatos)
comes with this. Last, but
definitely not least, you conclude
with an exotic dessert. Included in
the price of $14.50 per person,
(service not included), is your
choice (from four) of fine Grand
Cru Classe' French Wines. (The
price for dinner is less if you do
not take a wine). While the cost
may seem high, we will quote the
management, "Food so fine the extravagence
is justified!"
An additional feature is that you
may order any fine food that may
strike your fancy, by phoning your
order and reservation at least 24
hours in advance.
Reservations are not required to
dine, but as capacity is limited,
you may be refused food service
if the limit has been reached before
you arrive , or have to wait a
considerable time.
Do not expect to eat and run
here. Every item is prepared
AFTER you order. Expect to lounge
and truly dine, talk, with friends
and be served by waiters who have
been picked for their looks , charm,
and efficiency.
The food service is the pride of
the management, and is under the
supervisiono
supervision of Rick. His idea was
to combine the best in quality of
food, service, and style taken from
some of the best resturants around
the world, and offer then to Houstonians.
If you ever have any
complaint as to . the food or
service, scream promptly, long
and loud. You can be assured that
it will be corrected promptly and
will not occur again. The aim
here is to provide much more
than simply a meal.
