HET'S CRASH HOUSTON
BATHS
It's not a car wash
One morning a few days before
Christmas the quiet of Houston's,
now well known, Mr. Frizby was
shattered by an invited guest, or
should it be said guests.
Ted stated, "the damage in dollars
and cents was not much, but
had the booths along the Milam
Street side been occupied at the
time of the accident, death or
serious injury to the occupants
would have resulted." The section
that was damaged fortunately was
closed at the time of the accident.
Gay People
Health
and Mental
An automobile driven by a "het"
woman and her child, neither being
members, burst through a panneled
window to disrupt members piece
and quiet inside this private club.
The picture above shows where this
invasion was made by the "bets"
using their car · as a battering
ram.
The occupants of the Club were,
would you believe, shocked beyond
belief - - - not knowing wheather
the Club had been bombed or an
earthquake had occured. At the
instance of attendants, Club members
who were not shocked into
their clothing were haistly requested
to don "suitabl.e" attire
to greet the uneiqnicted visitors
along with the blast of cold air.
Mr. Frizby, Houston's only bath,
was very quickly repaired by the
owner and his able assistants
owner and his able assistants
and open for business a few hours
later.
One of the finest and most informative
published bulletins to
come forward in recent months
is the one headed above - • Gay
People and Mental Health. The
NUNTWS is running Vol. 1 No. 3
in its intirety in the hopes that
you, our readers can see the
help to the community this will
be with your support.
LESBIAN ISSUE
This third issue of Gay People
and Mental Health is devoted to
events concerning lesbians. It is
not our desire to segregate news
from the lesbian community into
separate issues, but rather to focus
attention in this issue on a portion
of the gay community which is too
often ignored.
The mental health profession is
particularly skilled at ignoring,
misinterpreting, and misunderstanding
lesbians. Women's sexuality
and mental health in general
has been (and is) belittled, sextyped,
and exploited, to say nothing
of those of us who are a minority
within a subjugated group.
This newsletter barely scratches
the surface in attempting to
inform people about happenings in
the lesbian nation. It is being put
together in the hope that it will
be a catalyst for those of you
with additional knowledge and information
to pass on to us, so we
in turn can provide a wider range
of materials. Materials of relevance
to lesbians have been scant
in the past - only in the last few
years have there been publications
of value. We look forward to your
response.

PAPER PRESENTED ON "SISTER
LOVE"
Janis Kelly, writing in NonTraditional
Family Forms in the
1970's, presents a paper entitled,
"Sister Love: An Exploration of
the Need for Homosexual Experience."
The following is a
summary taken from her paper:
"In short, women have two tasks
before them. They must bring their
minds and bodies back together,
and they must use them to change
the society which now cripples
them. For both, the ability to love
both themselves and others is
prerequisite. Due to the openness
and vulnerability required, they
can develop this ability only in
relationships free of power-struggles.
Because of real imbalance of
Mr. Frizby, as he is known to
most, Ted to others, was summoned
and immediately began,
after a quick apprasal of the
damage, repairing it.
power exists between the sexes,
the condition for their learning to
love fully without fear are at
present met only in a homosexual
setting."

GAY WOMEN'S RESOURCE
CENTER
CZ-he
Lesbian/Woman by Del Martin
The Gay Women's Resource
Center in Seattle is a place
for lesbians to meet, relax, and
be with other women. Although
they have a library, like
all libraries relevant to lesbians,
it is limited due to the lack
of valid related materials. the
center is on the look-out for book
articles, and materials written
by sisters. Speaking engagements
at prisons, high schools, and
mental institutions are free .
Speakers are available to the
general community on a fee basis.
The center offers "counseling"
to women and is forming a Radical
"Therapy" Collective. Those

Problem'?", it takes a hard look
at behavior modification and its
implications for women and gays.
Citing testimony and research done
by doctors here and abroad, the
favorite subject of psychosurgery
is overwhelmingly women and gay
people. A California neurosurgeon
writing in 1964, states that 72%
of all lobotomies performed on
"psychotics" are women and
80% on "neurotics" are women.
Evidence of success is often based
on the fact that these women are
"able to return to housekeeping
chores". Similarly, Gay people
(predominantly men) are popular
guinea pigs for lobotomists. The
cure for "sexual deviation"
through psychosurgeryis espoused
by Dr. F.D. Roeder of West Germany.
In 1969, the British Medical
Journal's editorial "Calling
for grain surgery for 'sexual
disorders"' is cited in the case
of three gay males whose success
story was determined by a lessened
"sexual drive". Also explored is
the use of electrical stimulation of
the brain by Dr. Jose Delgado.
Partially funded by the Office of
Naval Research and the Air Force,
ESB has proven itself effective in
reproducing any number of responses
in human beings - from
violence to orgasms.

1972. $6.95.
This is a book neither about
a gay nor by a gay. This is an
autobiography, woven against the
tapestry of living football. Readers
who expect titillation will be
disappointed. There is scant
mention of homosexuality at all.
Yet gays will find much in this
book with which to identify. In a
conservative area such as the
South, and in the Dallas area
in particular, there is often an
unbelievable amount of representCORRECTION
unbelieveable amount of repressiveness
that periodically
rears its serpintine head and
strikes.
Lance Reutzel was a victim of
just such a bigoted venom, and
he has detailed his experience for
the world to see, and hopefully to
understand. They will comprehend
the clandestine antipathy, the persecution
of family, the unrelenting
excoriation of public ridicule,
the personal hll both of Lance
and of his family, the struggle to
rebuild a shattered life.
Sexual exhibitionism in the South
if it involves children, is on a par
with heresy and blasphemy, and it
is probable that only homosexuality
is considered worse. What's
more, if it is a prominent figure
who is apprehended, the result is
often a near-crucifixion.
So it will be of some comfort
to gays to be reminded that
there are other sexual minorities
and that there are other martyers
for the sake of human dignity and
freedom and understanding, that
there are those in the straight
world who have known slander,
malice, odium, execration.
Besides all this, the book is one
of the few books about football
which this reviewer has read which
is written in such a way that the
contents suggest that the writer
has had real experience. Too many
authors have written the things
they think the spectator wants to
hear; Lance has written what the
spectator ought to hear. He deftly
puts feeling, rather than mere ob-
NUNTIUS/JANUARY 1973
servation, into simple words.
In short: the honesty of Mr.
Tentzel 's intensely personal reminiscense
and introspection is
refreshing in a day when sham is
rife.

BLACK ANGEL operates on the
thesis that fear, danger, and comination

The above picture is of a very

the reputation of dishonesty.

living with '·friends", Roxane not
Ii ving with " friends", Roxane not
only took things not belonging to
him but a lot more. In fact -
enough to warrant felony theft
charges. Unless the items taken
are returned very quickly it will
leave no alternative for the injured
persons but to go to the
authorities.
Other than the theft of the clothing,
both mens and drag attire,
Roxane had a " tab" at the bar
and owed one of the bar owners
for a loan made Xmas to help him
get presents for his "roommates."
The departure was without notice
leaving the Red Room without a
show, as he was in charge of same
until Tiffany Jones returned from
Florida.
If any of our readers know the
whereabouts of Roxane have her
contact the NUNTIUS as to what
his plans are to return or reimburse
people for the damages
he has caused. It is also recommended
to Bar and Club Operators
interested in employing this person
to contact some of the previous
employers.
It is understood that this is not
the first time such as this has
happened. In Dallas, Chicago that
we have been told of.

sexual orientation has altered
since his straight marriage and
fatherhood of a son.
Glen, the father, and his lover
Mitch split from Buffalo, where
they first met, and set up housekeeping
clear across the continent
in California.
Glenn has not seen his handsome,
superbutch young son for
years until one summer the boy

Glenn meets it head on, and
SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE
SUN, by Susanne Chambers Wheat,
is a comedy novel relating the
trials and tribulations of a predominantly
male hermaphrodite.
At an early age Ned Bruner

malformation and feels that as a
result he is a freak of nature.
During his teens he falls in Jove
with a schoolmate, Amy, and falls
deeply and hopelessly in love.
After much to do with his family,
Ned and Amy are married. Being
told of his sexual state by Ned, Amy
takes all in stride and when the time
comes they decide to adopt a child.
Instead what really happens is that
an embryo is implanted in Ned's
uterus, and he then carries the
test-tube baby, which is taken by
cesarean section.
After the birth of his first child
Ned and Amy embark on a round
of activities not compared to anything
except a fantastic world of
good fortune and excitement. It is
a joy to read and live through the
experiences of this couple - - 62
pages of great fun.

The biggest need of the gay

financial; money is needed to pay

the monthly utility bills.

dollar in debt. There was a util~
ity bill for twenty-one dollars,
and twenty dollars in the treasury
to pay it with.
The second biggest need of the
community center is equipment.
Attendance at the center has
slacked off recently, and the
vending machines, including a
pool table and a jukebox, were
removed from the center by the
vending machine company,
because they were not producing
enough revenue. Needed donqtions
of equipment for the center
includes a pool table, refregerator,
desks and chairs, a typewriter,
mimeograph machine, television
set, sound equipment such as a
turntable and stereo speakers, a
piano, sofas, lighting fixtures, and
a water fountain.
Houston gay bars have not
contributed financially to the
center. Individual donations and
fund - raising events have
brought in all the center's
income. However, some of the
bars have desplayed posters and
publicezed the center's activities.
The se gay establishments incluse
the Bayou Landing, The Farm-house,
Mary' s, The Glass Stein,
The Red Room, La Caja, The
Roundtable, The Exile, The
Roaring Sixties, The Mine-Park
Theater, Mr Frizby's Sauna Bath
and the Storybook Bookstore.
In addition, the Nuntius, Texas
gay newspaper, and The
Adevocate, a national gay newspaper
have given the center free
publicety.
The m~st successful activiit;ies
at the center have been dinner s
on Sunday, once a month.
Members and guests brought food
and also paid dollar to eat at
the center. Non-members paid
a dollar and a quater. Raffles
and acutions br ought in a dditional
revenue in connection with the
dinners.

of the show was the contest for
"Best Costume or Drag". The
Silver Dollar's Timmy walked
away with first prize.
The next highlighted event was
the "Mr. Buns" contest. For such
a difficult task of judging, the
Stein asked three experts to make
the decision. Debra Kaye, Misty
Morn and Melissa. After a close
balloting the winner was John
Graves.
Timed to coincide with the ringing
of the New Year was the "Mr.

thoroughly enjoyed the bevy of beef
parading before them; not to mention
the twinkle in the eyes of the
show's MC, Stephanie Carr. Stephany
remarked that the only thing
more difficult than tabulating the
close ballots was preventing her
gaff from breaking. Walking away
with the title, trophy, and cash
prize was Mr. Glen.
The evening at the Stein was
even more successful than had
been anticipated by the Stein's
owners, Doug and Ann Johnston,
and was throughly enjoyed by all.

to this relative newcomer, The

with Los Angeles Mayor Semuel

to discuss the needs , concerns and
interests of the people in the
organizations they represent. Pre

the Mayor's office, Baxter Lowery

Discussion with the City

social outlets where people could
meet without fear of arrest or reand

of Los Angeles.
CHANGING HOMOSEXUALITY
I agree almost entirely with
your comments on my last letter
(The Playboy Forum, September)
and particularly with your support
of " the right of researchers to
investigate the causes of homosexuality
and possibly means for
changing it." Individuals involved
in the gay- liberation movement
have expres sed dismay at my research
into the etiology of homosexuality
and have said that no
research should be done in that
area.
BREAKTHROUGH THREE
prisal was stressed.
For the first time representatives
of the homophile community
had met with the top official
of the largest city in the nation's
most populous state, neither to
make demands nor as petitioners
but as concerned citizens invited
by the Mayor to discuss certain
civic problems with him as a
first step toward improving conditions.
There was general agreement
that a series of further meetings
should be scheduled immediately
to explore with various public officials
and department heads ways
First of such further meetings
aimed at improving channels of
communication and understanding
between public officials and the
very large homophile population
of Los Angeles will be held on December
29, 1972.
I disagree, however, with your
statement, " If your research contention
is correct, it would mean

AIMED AT THE CROTCH
'lnsatiables' a winner
Even if the locales were not instantly
recognizable by landmarks,
architecture, or just plain
familiarity with the cities themselves,
gay films emerging from
New York, San Francisco, and
Los Angeles are distinguishable
from each other by one particular
style indigenous to their own
areas.
As far as we are able to tell, the
pattern goes something like this:
New York filmmakers are fond of
stories that are somewhat opaque
but encourage audience involvement.
They rely on exterior locations
a great deal, even if.it's only
the city streets. The actors are in
their 20's, very masculine types,
and there are no restrictions on
long hair and beards, with hardly
a blond in the bunch (Casey Donovan
excepted).
Los Angeles productions feature
much younger Gays, 18 to
mid-20s, .a lot of blond surfer
types. Everyone looks very
healthy. Although outdoor locations
are used to some extent,
they are not the uppermost consideration
because the plots of the
movies lean more to the dramatic,
therefore more conducive to interior
shooting.
SI\II Franciscans take a no-nonsense
approach to their films.
Plots usually take a backseat to
basic, earthy sex- and the, more
the better. Actors tend to be more
muscular, better endowed, with
pale skin and dark hair. The energy
with which they tackle their
assignments is usually very obvious
on the screen. Interior pho-tography
is used for the most
part.
The In,atiable,, a new release
from Jaguar Productions, was
filmed entirely in San Francisco.
It's a little short on story and acting
but more than makes up for
this with the outstanding quality
and quantity of its sex. Jason
Walker, Bo Henderson, Mark
Ketbing, and Doug Martin are the
stars of the title. Even as unpretentious
as the movie is, it delivers
so strongly that it comes off a
winner.
Audiences will get a tourist-eye
view of San Francisco as Henderson
pedals a racing bike from
his Castro apartment across the
city to the wharf, boards the Sausalito
Ferry, crosses the bay, and
continues into Marin County.
There be meets Mark Ketbing,
whose bike has broken down on a
back road.
' After time out for a little piece
on earth, they fix Ketbing's bike
and return to Henderson's apartment
in San Francisco. Both are
still horny, so they phone Jason
Walker, responding to an ad he
had placed in the Berkeley Barb.
Wallcer joins them, and with a
friend, Doug Martin, the four have
an orgy.
The story doesn' t sound \ike
much in the telling, but then stories
are never the strong point in
San Francisco productions. Where
the New York-filmed Lef t-Handed
was aimed at the heads, The Inia(
iable, is pointed right at the
crotch. It is a visual movie in every
sense of the word, from the
BO HENDERSON, JASON WALKER, AND MARK KETHING IN THE INSATIABLES
picture postcard shots of San
Francisco, Sausalito, and Marin,
right down to the e nergetic and
steaming sex scenes. The{, script
couldn' t have been more fhan an
outline, but the few lines we do
bear from the actors are delivered
conversationally.
Bo Henderson and Mark Ket hing
are featured in the bulk of the
footage and acquit themselves
very well, but when Jason Walker
appears about midway into the
film, he steals the whole picture
from the rest of the cast. Walker
was featured as 'Sonny, the Surfer'
in J. Brian's First Time Round
and didn' t particularly stand out
from his six co-stars in that movie.
man, the other actors his obedient
servants.
Wallcer is good-looking, but so
are his co-stars. He has a beautiful
body and is well endowed, but so
are the others. What sets him
apart is the stoned charisma be
projects, the total commitment
and involvement he has to the
scenes. He's practically a contortionist,
assuming double-jointed
sexual posit ions, stretching his
muscles until they look like
they'll burst right through bis
skin. On the strength of his performance
in The In,atiable,, he is
definitely a man we should see
again in future productions.
The I nsatiable, isn't shy about
the use of sexual accessories- like
Jason Walker's introductory a few "toys," rings and strapsscene
in The Insatiable, is decep- but nothing is done to emphasize
lively casual, but when he takes these extras. The audiences will

If ever a film was made in the
cutting room, this is one. The
whole movie was composed in
master shots-that is, each scene
was filmed from only one angle,
without any resbooting of the
same scene from a different camera
position. Editor David Wayne
bas confronted this problem with •
,xcellent craftsmanship, cutting
the long, static shots into shorter
lengths, inserting closeups of the
actors for pacing, punctuating the
scenes with appropriate music.
Technical accomplishments are
all too often ignored by film audiences,
as they probably should be,
because if they call attention to
themselves the purpose is defeated.
The Imaliable, now looksjust

the greatest praise - can bestow,
considering what the editor was

THE DEPTH OF MAN is more
than just another 1973 Calendar.
It is an essay on the beauty of
the male nude, as seen through
the eyes of Leon Barnard, one of
America's most gifted artist. The
photographic reproductions of the
original paintings are in warm
browns and sepias, with dramatic
use of white. Mr. Barnard's technique
differs from that of the
conventional artists in that he
makes no pencil sketches--beginning
only with color. He uses
little of the brush and palette
knife and often works with his
hands and fingers, like the sculptor.
The finished paintings have
the look of old masters.

Mr. Barnard's work is worlds
beyond the legs-spread-wide,-bitcock,
wise-grin-on-the-face, type
that pretends to represent gay art.
That of course is not art- -gay
or otherwise, but caricature. Nor
does one find idealistic somedaymy-
greek-god-will-come paintings.

Here are men, real men. Each
seems pensive. One wonders why.
One cares. Perhaps if these men
were not deep in thought, they
might move--so real is the il- ·
lusion.
At this time of the year, all
of us are flooded with calendars.
Cute ones. Pretty and clever ones.
Even beautiful ones. But none like
the depth of man. Every gay
man owes it to himself to have an
example of real gay art in his
home. THE DEPTH OF MAN is
just such an example.

my belief that through electroi:
oagulation of the female-mating
center of the sex-behavior center
in the hypothalamus, homosexuality
can be altered and even
made to disappear, Also, aversion
therapy coupled with desensitization
can alter behavior, though it
may not affect the underlying drive.
But, whichever method is used,
it is doubtful that the heterosexual
encounters that may follow will
involve the same intensity of arousal
as the previous homosexual
experiences.
Only when homosexuality causes
problems that disable the individual
in his life pursuits should electrr,
coagulation be used, and only
when the individual has a female
love object clearly in mind should
aversion therapy coupled with desensitization
be used. In all cases,
the client and not the therapist
should make the decision about a
change in sexual thrust, and then
only after careful consideration of
the alternatives.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The following was sent to the
Dallas Morning News but never
printed.
To the editor,
In the Letters from Readers,
October 16, a writer states, WE
CAN'T IGNORE HOMOSEXUALITY.
He's right, because there
are about 20 million gay citizens
in the nation. They usually can't
see them because thegreatmajority
look, dress, and behave like
their fellowman.
However, your reader strays
from fact when he implies that
homosexuality is less likely to
occur in family units that embrace
Christianity. As a proud,
happy and healthy homosexual, I've
met thousands of gay men and
women, most of them from good
Christian and Jewish families.
Surely every family has a loved
one who is secretly gay.
Let's face facts: homosexuality
has existed in every culture and
age of history. No one knows the
causes of homosexuality, or indeed
if there is a cause. What causes
hetrosexuality?

LESBIANISM
- - - - -by Alan
SAPPHO WAS A RIGHT-ON WOMAN:
A Liberated View of Lesbianism
by Sidney Abbott and Barbara
Love; Stein and Day, 7 East
48 St., New York, N.Y., 10017;
251 pages; $7 .95.
The first book on Lesbianism
written by women who are also
Lesbians, SAPPHO is a straight
forward account of what it means
to be a female homosexual in the
United States today.
Co-authors Abbott and Love
describe life in the past in
familiar terms. Gay women, overcome
with shame and guilt, often
pretend to be straight. Bolder
Lesbians came out of their closets,
fulfilling the stereotypes of
femme or bull dyke.
So internalized had these roles
become within Lesbians themselves
that when two women (or,
for that matter, their male counterparts)
established a relationship
as a couple, one had to be " masculine,"
the other "Feminine."
Althouth admirably refraining
from passionate rhetoric, Abbott
and Love do speak clearly against
this typology of tatally polarized
roles, a reflection of society's
distorted vision of human sexuality.
This traditional either/ or approach
to sex is now being splintered
by a growing awareness on the
part of both sexes that the human
being's innate sexual needs require
the freedom to be exercised
within a broad range of choice
rather than within an arbitrarily
restricted number of alternatives.
The authors declare that all sexeducation
curricula must include
Lesbianism as a valid, legitimate
form of sexual expression and
love. Students (and everyone else)
have the right to know that homosexual
feelings and the expression
of those feelings are not only as
natural as heterosexual feelings
but also that homosexual feelings
are legitimate in this or any other
society. According to natural law,
this understanding is the student's
right, even though American statu-

tory law would deny him or her
this fundamental right by its
archaic sodomy laws and the like.
SAPPHO appeals to all Lesbians
not only to identify themselves
openly and proudly but to
become activists in the women's
movement as well. It is the first
book-length statement on the relationship
of Lesbianism to Feminism,
as well as being a unique
close-range history of the new women's
movement as it faced one
of its major issues and crises.
Says Kate Millett (noted Feminist
and author of Sexual Politics),
"Most material of all, this
book begins to fill the terrible
need of an entire population of
women, until now not only persecuted
and ignored, but deprived
of any reasonable account of
themselves and the sufferings imposed
on them by a hostile
society."
Least the reader think that the
co-authors of SAPPHO are merely
cranks, a word should be said about
their identities.
Sidney Abbott was a debutante
and a Smith girl. Barbara Love,
who holds a journalism degree
from Syracuse University, worked
her way up Madison Avenue
to become a "citizen above suspision"
as a censor for CBS TV.
Both authors have been active in
the women's movement and in gay

bold (unusual for TV), it was good
(unusual for TV). The movie did
not stretch for the sensational,
nor was it a gay romp in the hay
as was "The Gay Deceivers" or
"Boys in the Band." On the contrary,
authors William Link and
Richard Levinson presented it
quietly and simply, merely stating
the case and letting the inherent
drama carry it along to a natural
conclusion, making the show even
more effective for being understated.
The drama, staring Hal Holbrook,
presented a situation all
too common in gay life: A married
man discovers his latent
ried man discover~ his latent
homosexuality. He can't cope.
Leaving his wife and his son,
both of whom he loves, he starts
life anew in San Francisco, with
a lover. His homosexuality is eventually
discovered by his teen-age
son during a summer visit.
The performances were, without
exception, superb. Holbrook, as
the guilt- ridden father, has moments
of absolute brilliance. He
is particularly effective in the difficult
climactic scenes. He won
an Emmy for the NBC series
"The Senator," and he fully deserves
another for "That Certain
Summer.'' Although their roles
offered less scope, Hope Lange
as Holbrook's wife, Martin Sheen
as his lover, and Scott Jacoby as
his beloved son handled the difficult
characterizations with delicacy
and precision.
The show was given a 'great deal
of advance publicity, not only because
ABC felt it was one of their
best efforts of the year, but also
because of the subject matter.
Perhaps TV is growing up. Perhaps
"That Certain Summer" was
the start.
D.C. Gay
Switchboard
WASHINGTON, D.C. --- A new
Gay Switchboard is being organized
in Washington, D.C., by a coalition
of gay groups and individuals.
The telephone counseling and
referral service will be serving all
the gay people of the D.C. metropolitan
area through counseling and
referral programs, housing services,
medical and legal aid, and a
calendar of events.
The Gay Switchboard office is
located in the Community Building
at 1724 20th Street, N. W.,
two blocks from Dupont Circle. The
Community Building has long been
a haven for community organizations
and cooperatives seeking
low-rent office space. In addition
to the Gay Switchboard, the Community
Building presently houses
the Free University, a Playwright's
Workshop, an experimental
theater group and two craft
cooperatives. One of the craft
cooperatives Earth Works, is gayowned
and caters to the gay community.
The Gay Switchboard has received
support from virtually every
gay organization in the metropolitan
area. Organizers of the phone
service are looking to gay bars
and other gay-owned business for
financial pledges to pay the bulk
of the operating expenses. Additional
contributions are being
sought from gay organizations and
individuals, and fund raising events
w~ll be scheduled. Monthly expenses
of about $500 are expected.
Present plans are to hire one
full-time coordinator to oversee
operation of the Switchboard. The
rest of the staff will be volunteer
help.
The telephone number of the
new Gay Switchboard is 387-3777.
Work has begun on building a
resource file and on training of
volunteers, though it will be midDecember
before regular operating
hours are established.

B.Q. VII
by Rob Shivers
Q B VII (T6777, novel, 432 pp,
$1. 95), Leon Uris' latest best seller
has hit the paperbacks via
Bantam. Truly the most gripping
tale I've come across in years,
this book will keep you awake until
the early hours, unable to lay it
aside until completion.
Q B VII (which stands for Queen's
Bench, Courtroom #7) is a
legal battle of such intensity and
drama between two tortured
heroes, that at its conclusion only
corpses seem to fill the arena.
Uris delves with uncanny insight
into the very heart of famed surgeon
Adam Kelno and internationally
known author, Abraham
Cady. Nazi barbarism in human
experimentation is related in such
a way that the reader is made to
feel the terror, fear and hatreds
of both victims and victimizers.
There is a distinct final impress.
on that Jadwiga Concentration
Camp is a human episode ad infinitum
with no one who shared
its experiences a winner.
Q B VII is not directly related
to the gay scene, yet the
several homosexual references
are poignant reminders that the
Nazi anti-Jew atrocities were also
concurrently committed against
the Gay Community. Thought provoking,
this novel should prompt
fresh awareness that as long as
man is allowed to dehumanize
his fellowbeings, whether Jew,
homosexual or other minority, all
are in danger of being subjected
to the unvelievable cr imes that
perpetrate themselves in every era
and area of the so-called
" civilized world" .
But it; r ead it: let this tale
of man's inhumanity to man burn
into you the certain knowledge that
until all people are accepted as
dignified individuals, none a re
truly free. Q B VII could as well
have been the s tory of the atr ocities
pe rpetr ated by Hitler Germany
against thousands of homosexuals
- - - it just happened to be
the account of that holocaust as
~een through Jt·¾ish PvPs.

MAN
- - - - - by A Ian
MAN, photography by Jim French,
published by The Colt Studio, Box
187, Village Station, New York,
N.Y. 10014; $18 (hardcover).
--------------------..... --- STONEWALL 1. MR. CHELSEY ST. JOHN
SEPARATES ----
Aimed at the gay esthete, MAN
presents a panoply of gergeous
photographs of the male. In this
respect, it is vastly different from
the rather ta wdy collection of cockand-
balls photos to which we've
had to become accustomed in recent
years.
Tastefully handled, the photos
range in locale from Hawaii to
Long Island and manage to glorify
unspoiled nature while simultaneously
featuring the revealed
charms of 25 well-endowed
models.
A word might be said at this
point concerning the obvious and
admitted bias of Colt Studio visa-
vis the male body. Colt grooves
EXCLUSIVELY on wellbuiltdudes,
whether or not they have the biggest
baskets imaginable. That is,
an appealingly masculine physique
is Colt's primary criterion for its
models.
This is not to say that the models
in MAN are not well-hung. On
the cntrary, you WILL see lots
of nice meat (to put it clearly,
if crudely). The point you should
remember, however, is that MAN
in no way aimes to be a jack-off
book, although it definitely may
turn you on as it did this reviewer.
Free lance photographer Jim
French has five years of extraordinary
experience with Colt
Studio, the MAN contains representative
samples of his best
efforts.
The mood of his photos is
VffiILITY with a capital V!
Privately printed in a very limited
edition, MAN is super-luxurious
(11" x 14" in size), covered
i..1 rich brown linen with the title
stamped in gold.
Jim French's skill behind the
camera and in the darkroom,
coupled with his keen eye for composition,
make MAN a pleasure to
peruse.
For those who can afford it,
MAN is the work of art God intended
him to be.
PROGRAMS
Homosexuality is more and more
becoming openly written about and
discussed by our national news
mema as well as "straight" publications.
In the December issue
of PLAYBOY the following two
articles appeared.
GAY PROBLEM CENTER
Stonewall is a residential treatment
center for homosexual men
and women who have been in
trouble with drug addiction,
alcoholism or the law. It was
started in Seattle last year by a
number of gay people who feel
that heterosexuals do not knowhow
to handle the problems of homosexuals.
It was also started to
provide an alternative for gays
either in prison or facing a prison
term. Until now, nearly all organizations
such as Synanon and
Phoenix House, to which people
could be probated or paroled, have
regarded homosexuality as abnormal.
Because of the lack of a
place that will accept them as they
are, parole is often delayed or
denied for those in prison who
are not heterosexual.
The alcoholism and drug-addiction
programs consist of 12 to 18
months of living and working at
Stonewall, and they reject the
medical approaches to homosexuality,
addiction or crime. They
present acceptance of one's homosexuality
not only as normal and
healthy but also as restorative and
therapeutic, the key to successful
rehabilitation. The approach is that
of radical therapy, with emphasis
on changing one's social situation,
changing society's attitudes and
gaining political effectiveness.

There is also a 90-day re-entry
program for those coming out of
prison and for the graduates of the
treatment programs. This involves
job placement and training, personal
counseling and gay-consciousness
raising. Stonewall seeks
funds from organizations and individuals
for both projects.
We are breaking ground by
bringing what we know about human
sexuality to the fore in the field
of rehabilation. Society makes a
practice of taking sex away from
those in trouble, be they prisoners,
retarded children or mental
patients. But sex is not disruptive;
it is a highly socializing factor for
all. Gay males are becoming more
prominent in the area of prison
reform, because prison is where
we suffer the greatest oppression.
William H. DuBay, Training Director
Stonewall
Seattle, Washington
DuBay is a former Catholic priest
who, in 1964, asked Pope Paul VI
to oust Los Angeles' conservative
Cardinal McIntyre and who, in
1966, wrote "The Human Church"
(published without the usual ecclesiastical
permission), which
advocated, among other things, a
labor union for priests.
HOUSTON X-MAS
Coverage of the holiday season
cannot be complete with the small
staff of the Nuntius, one person,
however, we shall attempt to do
what we can.
LaCaja had their New Year's
Contest and party in which Miss
Alabama was named Miss LaCaja.
On December 20 the HiKamp
had their Xmas Show featuring
Jan Russell and Eartha along with
Kiki Lee. Eartha did a fantastic
"Santa" number in which all of
the audience received suckers - -
candy that is. A great show -
great fun and very much alive.
The HiKamp for variety from their
regulars had Tiffany Jones and
Roxanne as guests for several
performances during the holidays.
This club is fast becoming known
as one of the top showbars of the
city.
It is reported that great-jollyfun
was had at the 900 Club.
From reports it seems the activities
were very festive in and
out of the "closet". Drinks - fun
and fun and fun and let it all
hang out! Who said LA Plays Itself
was only showing at the new Adam
One?
Have been asked about Boots
Cruse Room! Even the telephone at
press time was "DA" - - according
to Ma Bell that is "don't answer"
SO!!!! ..
Frank Palmer's Galleon was the
spot for turkey and dressing Xmas
day. Some noteworthy persons attended
- - one of the spots to be
seen and seen in. Congrats to
Frank on selling his home--understand
investments in Athens or
some such place is requiring this
young interprising mans attention
of late. M.C. as always had his
blackeyed pea special New Year
and did all the cooking for both
occasions .himself.
Briar Patch fast and faster
Briar Patch fast and faster
with the "stable" bunny crowd -
fine place - fine folks - haven for
plastic surgeons - and the clientel
can afford it also. The many wideeyed
smiling faces here are not
a reflection of happiness but of
being unable to close their eyes
or alter expressions from the pulling
and stretching of these friends
of the group with the knivesssss.
Beautiful tree at this spot for all
the crowd.
Stopped by the Farmhouse a
couple of times during the season.
Early hour group hosted by Paul
Stewart - - the only real cocktail
hour in the city it seems - - .
Changes at this "all-time" inspot
during and after /hour should
be seen and enjoyed by all. Mr.
H does his all and best to make
everyone comfortable and happy
with a personal greeting. Houston's
own, Jerry Vanover is here for
shows four nights a week - - great
talent - - in fact, best comedian
in town. Jerry mustfeel very much
at home - - started at the :quggett
with Paul S. - - then to the Cabaret
with Gene H. and now back with
the both of them. -- Good show

What is Free At Last?
Free At Last is a private social club operated by Social
Ventures Corporation. The club's pu~pose is to provide
social freedom and independence for gays.
Is Free At Last similar to a private lounge or bar?
No, except that both operate for the benefit of members
only. Free At Last is more similar, in terms of how it
works , to the Young Houstonians Club (operated by First
City National Bank for their customers), than to a
private lounge or bar.
How do I join Free At Last?
Just fill out a membership application and mail it to:
Social Ventures Corporation
P. 0 . Box 58251
Houston, Texas 77058
What does membership cost?
Membership dues are $48 per year . You can pay your dues
annually at $48 total, or by pre-authorized automatic
bank draft in the amount of $4 .50 monthly .
How does this automatic bank draft work?
When you send in your membership application and you have
selected the monthly dues plan, you must also send us a
Bank Draft Authorization Card. We will record your
account number and forward the card to your bank. Then ,
each month, we will prepare a draft on your account in
the amount of $4. 50. With the authorization car4 on file,
your bank will treat this draft just like a ch~ck, except
that you won ' t have to bother with it at all!
Why is the monthly bank draft $4.50 instead of $4. 00?
The extra 50¢ cover s the cost of preparing the drafts
each month, and also covers the service charge that some
banks charge us for handling the drafts.
What do I get as a member of Free At Last?
You get social freedom and independence as a gay through
participation in the club's social activities. Simply,
you get to meet new f r iends, and you get to go to new
places and do new things in the congenial company of
other gays.
What kinds of activit ies wil l the club hold?
Here are a few examples: Bus trips to New Orleans,
Dallas, and Laredo; plane trips to Acapulco, Fire Island,
and San Francisco; parties of all kinds, including : rum
parties, wine tastings, theater parties, cheese tastings,
and costume parties; art shows; fashion shows; Mr.-FreeAt-
Last contests; plus dining discounts for your individual
benefit; plus any other activities and services
that our members want us to provide.
Are the club ' s activities expensive?
No . With volume purchasing power, the club can arrange
activities at rock bottom prices. In addition, the club
does not make anything from its activities since all
administrative expenses are covered by membership dues.
Sample prices are: fo r a trip to New Orleans including
party bus round-trip transportation, two nights at the
Bourbon Orleans Hotel, tips and taxes- approximately
$40 per person; for a Rum Party- only $1 for 3 drinks .
How will I hear about the club's activities?
A copy of our special, members-only magazine will be
mailed to you each month . In each i ssue will be news
of upcoming activities, discounts, nnd interesting
articles on the gay ljfe.
What activities are coming up soon?
Toward the latter half of January, we are planning a bus
trip to New Orleans and a Wine Tasting Party.
Why was Free At Last created?
Free At Last was created to fill the social needs of
Houston's Gay Community. By joining FPee Al La.st now ,
you can expand your circle of gay f riends while participating
in an exciting new range of gay social activities.

Jerry - - we'll all be out to see
you!
LaBoheme seems to be fading
from the scene??? Hear tales about
remodeling and such but can't seem
to note much action -- whatgives?
The Red Room had a special
Christmas show with not-so-hot
live entertainment. Jerry Vanover,
after two years, did his last show
here for an engagement at the
Farmhouse. Roxanne and Dyschel
were there along with Miss Red
Room - Tiffany Jones. New Year's
Eve was great fun - packed house -
baloons, horns and etc. etc. etc.
New Years Day - blackeyed peas,
cornbread and all enjoyed by the
group in the early afternoon - show
later New Year's night.
Mama and Papa Bear had their
Xmas show and New Year festivities
as always in great style.
Some of the most beautiful costumes
here - - why not? - - Mama
Bear is a talented designer - -
seamstress and model. Visit the
Roaring 60's at antime for a fine
time with great people.
Just down the street at 1811
South Shepherd is a new spot - -
The Living Room. The owner is
known to many - he is Ed. H.
The faces and hair behind the bar
are also familiar on the circuit
- - Pepper from the Tradewinds
--Audie from the Table - 900
Club - Red Room and who knows
what corners are there to give
their services. Fine food at the
New Year's buffet -- just beautiful
-- it is understood the little
ole flower lady, Bill H. helped
out -- great cook tooooo! Stop in
this new place - just like being at
home --- comfortable.

LIFE AND DEATH OF THE
GAY COMMUNITY
Since the homosexual community
suffers from repression within repression
the general societal neu-
• roses become more extreme; guilt,
aggression, anxiety, sad-masochistic
polarisation of relationships
and fear of ageing, ail tend to te
exaggerated. It will also follow the
that genital tyranny will be reinforced
leading to de-personalized
genital and genital/anal contact.
The homosexual community is exploitative
and predatory - people
become objects - saleable and subject
to proprietal struggles. The
body becomes brutalised in alienated
promiscuity. The dialectics
of capitalism penetrate the sexual
life, in ghetto bars and clubs, and
in bed. Its jargon is impersonal
and reductionist - sex is even
spoken of as 'trade'. The homosexual
is unable to defend himself
against the violent and apparently
logical dialectics of his society
so he accepts that he is in some
way 'wrong' or 'unnatural' even
ii he consciously denies this. Internalised
repression is the most
deadly form of repression because
its victim denies its existence.
The logic of this repression renders
the homosexual neurotic and
seriously impairs his ability to
experience anything resembling a
full (i.e. liberated) relationship
with another homosexual. Such a
'full relationship' does not imply
the transference intoahomosexual
milieu of the monogamic form of
institutionalised heterosexual
marriage, however it does imply
something very different from what
I have described as 'alienated
promiscuity'. In this the unending
search for impersonal sexual contact
is compulsive; the alienation
• H - a
is alienation from the self. The
homosexual is convinced in his unconcious
that he is a 'monster'
and must therefore prove to himself,
repeatedly, that he is desirable.
But the person who responds
and complies, must also be
a 'monster' and therefore must be
despised and rejected immediately
after the act, or reduced to the
level of an object. In this situation
there can be no gratification of
real desires; it is rather like
scratching a sore, - momentary
alleviation only serving to worsen
the condition in the long run, -
for the syndrome is selfperpetuating.
Because of the masculine bias
of our culture very few men ever
mature emotionally; they are not
required to. According to Freud
"there is in men a struggle against
their passive or feminine attitude
towards other men" and it is
curious that it is by the rituals
of suppressed homo-eroticism that
the conventional male seeks to
reinforce his gender role.
If the heterosexual finds such
difficulty in relating to and maintaining
the pose of the 'manly
man' then it follows that the question
will be even more problematic
for the male homosexual. In adolescence
(a naturally androgynous
period) he is especially likely to
experience a crisis of failure to
relate to the heterosexual definition
of an adult male. He may
continue to regard himself as a
boy (genitally mature, of course)
and he may continue to pursue
the image of his lost youth for the
rest of his life. This is liable to
produce hysteria at the natural
process of his ageing and can re-a

sult in a permanent maladjustment,
quite literally the inability
to live with the present self. This
presents in very real terms a
parallel to Norman O. Brown's
image of the adult yearning of his
lost infantile Eden. The original
trauma has been re-enacted, and
neurosis therefore reinforced.
The male homosexual's position
is ambiguous and contradictory,
since his difficulty in adjusting to
his society's regid and false formulation
of masculine characteristics
and ethics is entirely to his
credit. Sadly, many homosexuals
try to Ii ve up to the demands of
this exploitative model; individuals
and their relationships are categorised
- butch/ fem - dominant/
submissive, and in the final
analysis sadistic/ maschistic.
Consequently it is impossible for
them to work out their sexuality
on its own terms. The homosexual
does not have to be either 'masculine'
or 'feminine' in the sense
that these are at present defined
by the repressive institutions.
In this context, it is perhaps
time many homosexuals discovered
the idea of androgyny, since
the homosexual position has to be
potential to assist greatly in the
breaking up of the rigid polaris -
ation of sexual roles.
This is a truth acknowledged by
'camp taste', which in this case
is making conscious man's 'unalterable',
unconscious 'revolt
against sexual differentation and
genital organisation". By the standards
of the unconscious and of
childhood the sexual differentation
of adult sexuality manifested in
genital organisation, the family,
masculine aggressiveness and
feminine passivity is "a loss of
sexual completeness" (Brown).
Could a liberated homosexuality
help to regain this lost "completeness"?
And yet, much of the homosexual
community is too bourgeois
and conformist to play any part
in such a project. For a homosexual
to adhere to bourgeois values
and societal norms is for him to
be de-naturalised. In this sense
he is 'against nature' - against
his own nature, that is. He should
not only be aware of what a hostile
society is doing to him, but also
aware of 'what he is doing to
himself in the service of that hos tile
society. He must at some stage
tire of the role of " exemplary
sufferer' '.
It is also futile for the homosexual
community to ask this hostile
society to tolerate it as a
harmless and docile minority,
since from the point of view of that
society it is far from harmless.
Homosexuality touches on phobias
with long cultural histories; it
threatens "to reverse the process
of civilisation which turned the organism
into an instrument of work' '
- not civilisation as such but one
particularly repressive process
which is becoming increasingly unnessary.
It is a symbol of what
had to be suppressed so that suppression
could prevail and
organise the ever more efficient
domination of man and nature"
(Marcuse 'Eros & Civilisation').
It is because the homosexual
is a subversive and potentially
revolutionary force (whether the
individual likes the idea or not)
that he is oppressed. The only rational
or dignified course is to accept
this critical function. Homosexuality
is anti-productive, itis a
very definite spanner in a
particularly sensitive part of the
works, since it breaks up the
socio-economic alignment of the
sexual drives.
Homosexuals should see themselves
as a vital part of a movement
for all people (male or female
of whatever orientation) towards
a higher degree of ins tinctual
liberation: sectarianism can
only assist the agents of the 'performance
principle'. If we begin in
refusal, in future we must allow
ourselves to think in Utopian
terms, the alternative is dispair.
"To think in Utopian terms"
does not imply escapist fantasy:
Utopian speculation is simply a
framework for the expression of
social ideals.
