| Transcript | NOW SERVING YOUR FAVORITE BEVERAGES - MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY 5 P.M. to 7:30 P.M. 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 references 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 merefactofhomo- sexuality is hilarious. In short, we do not object to jokes that deal your 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 father, 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 the news that seems to have the habit of adding to any news item happening in the Montrose Area of Houston, you know "that strange section". It is not only in poor taste but embarassing to businessmen and old established families of this section. We might, as a group, Ricci & Rita WOAXm 60'S P001 - DANCIN6 .

CARTOONIST SAYS 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 discussion 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."
