''Mother Ruth,'' the VD

Ruth Ravas, known in Montrose as Mother Ruth,

in the arm in her constant search to control venereal

the Montrose Clinic, has resigned her post with the
City Health Department.

The clinic is expected to be staffed by medical

But, she advised, "Before everyone gets the feel·

Ms. Ravas moved to Houston from Austin three
years ago and immediately became the City Health

Ms. Ravas had helped organize several fund

"Also, I live 30 miles one-way from work and the

she added.
"I have been saying all the time that it is not my

"This was not an easy decision but at this time in
my life I need the change," she said.
Ms. Ravas is fund-raising chairperson of the

Two rare
diseases
taking high
toll among gay
males
ATLANTA-Seventy new cases of two
rare diseases that affect male homosex·
uals have been reported since July 3,
bringing the total in recent months to
111, nearly half of them fatal.
The disease appears on the scale of the
toxic shock syndrome or the Legion·
naire's disease, reported the Los Angeles
Times.
The National Center for Disease
Control has formed a special task force to
investigate both Kaposi's Sarcoma, a
cancer of the blood vessels, and
pneumocystis, a parasitic, pneumonia·
like virus, which is sexually transmitted.
Scientists have not been able to make a
connection between the two diseases.
No one has as yet discovered why gay
men are the victims of these diseases. Dr.
Harold Jaffe, a member of the task force,
said they plan to investigate links to
previous diseases, immunization system
disorders, sexual lifestyle, drug use and
other possible causes.
Both diseases have previously only
been associated with people with severe
immune deficiencies caused by such
factors as viral attacks and anti-cancer
treatment and previously usually
affected men of Jewish, Greek, or Italian
ancestry who are over the age of 70.
However, outside ofhomosexuals, both
diseases are rarely fatal.
Among the gay men, all were young
and healthy until the di~ses struc~.
"Really, there is no logtcal, ob~1ous
cause," said Dr. James Curran, chtef of
the National Center for Disease Control.
Meanwhile, 15 members of Black and
White Men Together of New York, a gay
·n . !"racial group, have participated in
the first phase of a cancer research
project on the disease being conducted by
the National Cancer Institute. •a•A
McCoy's not
guilty verdict
upsets gay
leaders
An official of the Fred Paez Task Force
said he would release information that
showed police officer Kevin McCoy,
acquited on a charge of negligent
homicide in the death of gay activist Fred
Paez, exhibited homophobic tendencies
in high school in Louisiana.
A former classmate of McCoy's helped
provide the information.
McCoy, 26, was found not guilty Sept. 4
in the death of Paez June 28, 1980, after
Paez was said to have made a sexual
advance toward McCoy.
The jury deliberated four hours and ten
minutes in the court of visiting state
District Judge Van Stovall.
Asked why the high school informa·
tion was not brought out in the trial, Task
Force official Lee Harrington said, "The
person who is a witness in it is not
prepared to testify because of fear of
reprisals."
Instead, the prosecution's strategy
attempted to show that McCoy was
intoxicated or nearly intoxicated when
his gun discharged in the back of Paez'
head last year.
McCoy stood calm when the verdict
was announced but later collapsed into
the arms of his wife and said he was
anxious to get back on the police force.
He had been suspended, with pay,
since the October grand jury indictment.
The Task Force said it would hold a
"community meeting" Sunday, Sept. 13,
at 3:00 p.m. at the Metropolitan
Community Church, 1919 Decatur, to
discuss the reaction of Houston's gay
people to the short trial.
Gay leaders, who form the Task Force,
were quiek to voice their opinions of the
verdict.
"It's still legal to kill queers in Harris
County," said Ray Hill, a Task Force
member and a close friend of Paez.
"The trying of officer McCoy is closed
but the situation is not closed," said
Harrington.
Harrington said that an appeal had
not been ruled out.
The Houston Chronicle quoted
prosecutor Brian Rains as saying,
"Kevin McCoy wasn't in control that
night and hewasn'tin control because he
had been drinking, and that's negli·
gence. Because of his drinking, he didn't
have his wits about him."
Rains said that because McCoy had
been drinking, he should not have tried to
arrest Paez on that dark summer night in
the alley where McCoy was working an
off-duty security job.
There were few surprises at the trial.
Little additional information not already
discussed prior to the trial was revealed.
McCoy, a four-year veteran with the
Houston Police Dept. and three previous
years as a Lake Charles, La., policeman,
testified that he was not intoxicated on
the night of the killing, and that Paez
had struggled as he was being arrested, a
struggle that, McCoy said, caused his
pistol to accidentally discharge.
The negligent homicide charge against
McCoy was a misdemeanor but was tried
in felony court because the accused was a
public official.
The charge was punishable by a year
in prison and a $2000 fine.
According to the defense, after Paez
was said to have groped McCoy, McCoy
rapidly turned Paez around, put his gun
to Paez's head and began to search him.
Paez immediately struggled and the gun

discharged, they said.
The defense brought out that Paez was
a "police buff" and had two gtms in his
car at the time of his death-factors the
defense thought disproved Paez's alleged
"non-aggressive" nature.
Friends of Paez testified that they
didn't think it was in his nature to resist
an arrest.
Paez, an administrative assistant with
the Gay Political Caucus, had written a
pamphlet on how to act when being
arrested. He advised readers not to resist,
even if the arrest was wrong.
Viewing the court procedures were
several dozen police officers, in uniform,
as well as Montrose community leaders.
Lalor trying to
disperse sex
shops
City Councilman Lance Lalor, in an
effort to disperse sexually-oriented
businesses that are concentrated in
Montrose, has asked the city's legal
department to study the possibility of
requiring that they be separated from
each other by a set distance.
Montrose gay leaders, including
Warren Duncanson, president of the
Westheimer Colony Association, have
maintained that blatant heterosexual
nude modeling studios attract sexually
insecure straight males into the area,
who then often harass gay people on the
streets.
An ordinace adopted in 1980 was
designed to try to regulate nude modeling
studios and massage parlors by
requiring them to be no closer than 1000
feet to schools and churches and by
requiring their operators to obtain
annual permits.
The law did not restrict them from
being close to each other.

Will choose
endorsements
Wednesday
The Gay Political Caucus designated
September as "Voter Registration
Month" and during this month is
"concentrating our efforts on getting as
many people as possible registered to
vote in the mayoral, controller and
council races," said Vernon Goins, a
member of the GPC.
GPC is one of the city's leading
endorsement groups. They are scheduled
to announce their selections for city
office Wednesday for the Nov. 3 election.
Lee Harrington, the group's president,
said they will have their regular meeting
this week at 7:30 p.m. at the downtown
Holiday Inn, 801 Calhoun.
He said non·GPC members may attend
but of course would not be allowed to vote
for political recommendations.
Screening committees have been at
work since late August interviewing
candidates. At the Wednesday meeting,
the committees will make recommends·
tions to the GPC general body, who will
then vote which candidates to endorse.
Representatives of three mayoral
candidates have been lobbying for a GPC
endorsement. They are Justice of the
Peace Alexander Green, businessman
Noble Ginther and City Controller Kathy
Whitmire.
A close vote may also occur in the race
for City Controller, being vacated by
Whitmire. Major candidates Leone!
Castillo and Lance Lalor were both
popular with gay voters in other elections
and both would like a GPC endorsement.
"It is our purpose to endorse only those
persons who are at least friendly to the
gay community," Goins said.
"It should be apparent to those seeking
office that gays vote from a position of
strength. We are significant in
numbers," he added.
Conference
reported life is
I• mprov•i ng
Three hundred participants to the Texas
Gay Conference VIII last weekend
attended workshops and heard lecturers
say life for homosexuals was improving.
"The community at large is becoming
less homophobic," Edra Bogle of Denton,
a North Texas State University
professor, was quoted by the Houston
Post.
The daily Post gave prominant
coverage to the conference.
Bogle pointed out that today
participants to such conventions use
their full names, different from just six
years ago when most people only used
first n'imes or initials when registering.
Among the keynote speakers was
author Jack Nichols, who now lives in
Atlanta and writes for the Atlanta
Gazette gay newspaper.
Nichols made a poetic plea for
recognition of what he called the "gay
tradition"-a "secret remedy" that he
said has been nutured for over 100 years
that will "resuscitate" progressive
visions in the gay liberation movement.
Patricia Nell Warren, author of one of
the first successful gay books, The Front
Runner, was also a keynote speaker.
The theme of the conference was
"Strength in Diversity."
The three day conference was held at
the First Unitarian Church at 5210
Fannin.

Hello, handsome
"Do you have trouble getting up in the
morning?" asked the hot hunk to his
date as they were leaving the bar.
"No problem at all," he said. "I don't
get up until the afternoon." -·- A federal judge has temporarily held up
the enforcing of the state's new drug
paraphernalia law, but just before it was
originally scheduled to go into effect, the
Houston Retail Grocers Association was
considering banning the sale of sand·
wich bags.
Sandwich bags, as every schoolboy
knows, are used to package marijuana.
Yes, the Man from Glad was almost
busted.
(This little item came from the Dallas
Morning Newe, which, along with the
Dallas Times·Herald, have bureaus in
Houston. Ironically, neither the Hous·
ton Post nor the Houston Chronicle have
bureaus in Dallas. It just goes to show
that people in Dallas are interested in
what happens in Houston, but we Hous·
tonians don't care much about what
happens in that little Texas city up
north.) -·- Last weekend's party at the old Farmhouse
building attracted millions-well,
it seemed like millions-who danced and
played the night away.
The music was good, but the liquid
refreshments left a little to be desiredthey
ran out of everything. But we'll for·
give them.
However, the next big gay male party
coming up, the Mouth is told, is Halloween.
It'll be staged by the same people
who put on last winter's Let Us Enter·
tain You party on Washington.
Now, folks, that was a party. -·- We have a winner in our first Bartender
of the Month Contest.
It's Chris Ballard of Dirty Sally's, who
obviously had the Dirty Sally's drinking

what the contest was all about anyway.
Chris wins a whole slew of nifty prizes,
including dinners at some of our fine eating
establishment&, several gift certifi·
cates, and a month's pasa for him and a
guest to Midtowne Spa. -·- Guess who's been in Houston 12 years?
Larry Bagneris Jr. He moved here from
New Orleans back when he was a
chicken.
Now to celebrate all this, Houston acti·
vist Greer Price is throwing a birthday
party for Larry (it's both Larry's Hous·
ton anniversary and birthday).
Bagneris (pronounced BAH-na·reese)
has in his tour of duty in Montrose progressed
to the honored status of "com·
munity leader," an unofficial title
bestowed on about two dozen Houston
gay men and lesbians.
Larry was Gay Pride Week chairperson
this past year and is on the board of
directors of the Gay Political Caucus
and the National Gay Task Force. -·- The full moon this week occurs officially
at 10:06 p.m. Sunday night-that's
according to the Houston Weather
Bureau.
There's been some dispute in recent
months on just when the full moon
occurs. So instead of just giving the day
each month, the Voice now will give the
exact time.
So this Sunday, at 10:06 p.m., pause
and pay a little respect to the moon. The
old girl's been up there for millions of
years, just going round and round, and
we just take her for granted.
The Venture-N will celebrate with a
full moon party Sunday night-and per·
haps a special surprise at 10:06 p.m.
Mary's, which always does things a
little different, is having a full moon
party Monday night, with free drinks for

Candidates
races begin to
heat up
Lance Lalor officially filed with the City
Secretary for City Controller Sept. 4, and
will apparently be facing Leone! Castillo,
a former City Controller who is again
seeking the post.
City Treasurer George L Nichols and
political unknown Cynthia D. Oliphant
have also stated their intentions to run
for City Controller.
Lalor is vacating his City Council
District C seat, which is, so far, being
sought after by four announced
candidates: writer-attorney George
Greanias, psychotherapist Harold L.
Harris, psychologist Joe Pentony and
political unknown Peter Elloway, a
Montrose resident. Another Montrose
resident, James Greenwood ill, has said
he is running for City Council Position 3
at Large, the spot being vacated by
Johnny Goyen, who has announced his
retirement from politics.
Thirteen candidates have filed
"intentions to run for office" with the
City Secretary, including City Controller
Kathy Whitmire, who lives in Montrose.
Sept. 4 was the first day of official
filing, where candidates pay their filing
fees or present petitions with voters'
signatures.
The Sisters of
Perpetual
Indulgence
Last month, the MONTROSE VOICE
received a phone call from a "Goldie
Glitters," who identified himself a
member of the Sisters of Perpetual
Indulgence.
"We're in Houston and we thought
maybe you'd like to interview us."
You're who, we asked.
"The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
Surely you've heard of us. We're known
all across the country."
Well, we hadn't heard of them, so we
declined the invitation to interview.
As things now turn out, we have heard
of them. A dispatch arrived at the VOICE
from Daniel Curzon of the International
Gay News Agency, in which he discribed
their recent appearace at the national
convention of gay atheists in San
Francisco. His story:
The Sisters put on a service that was a
mockery of traditional liturgy and at the
same time an attempt to point up the
excessive guild that has been imposed on
gay people by religion.
The Sisters, or some eight of them,
entered the auditorium chanting the
names of goddesses: Isis, Astarte, Diana,
Hecate, Demeter, Kali, and Innana.
They proceeded to take command of
the stage, dressed in their nuns' habits,
which vary from quite plain to heavy
mascara, red nylon stockings and
handcuffs.
One of them announced: "We come to
seek the truth!"
They lighted incense in a censer and
began to waft the resulting aromatic
fumes about the stage. A few nuns
sprinkled salt and water to purify the
North and the East; others "charged" the
South and the West with fire and air.
Then a Sister came forward and read a
few "meditations," the gist of some were
as follows:
"If God really existed, it would be
necessary to abolish Him."
"God being Master, people become
slaves."
The Meditations were followed by a
period in which most of the Sisters
"confessed" their sins to Reverend
Mother, who threw a black veil over her
face and sat in a large chair to listen.
Sister Boom-Boom confessed: "I feel
guilty for not wearing enough make-up."
Another Sister confessed that she felt
guilty when she told a sex partner that he
couldn't have anal intercouse with her.
Another Sister confesses guilt because
she has continued to pay her taxes.
Reverend Mother told each of the
penitents, "Renounce your guilt, Sister."
The main philosophical idea of the
Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is that
gay people need to get rid of all the
needless guilt that is said to have been
imposed from outside by church 11.nd
state.
Sister Sermon etta (poet James
Broughton) topped off the ceremony by
reading some of his poems, looking like a
pixie nun with a grey beard. Sister
Sermonetta'slittle "sermons" came from
a work entitled "GraffittifortheJohnsof
Heaven" and included "Mash Notes to
God." The line that stands out the most is
this one: "I believe there are divinities
everywhere-especially men."
Later there was a social hour for the
atheist delegates, and a few went out
with the Sisters to a restaurant. It was an
Experience, I must say. People reacted in
anything but an indifferent manner to
men in nuns costumes and make-up. A
few screamed, some burst the balloons
the nuns were carrying, and a couple of
drunks sat at our table uninvited. A few
came over for autographs.
I held hands with a nun for the first
time in my life. It was the hand of Sister
Qua Lewd Conduct, also known as
Goldie Glitters, who was once elected
homecoming queen at the University of
Santa Barbara.
Believe it or not, holding a Sister's
hand wasn't nearly as bad as going to
school with nuns for twelve years!
Fitness
saggi• ng
America's fitness craze, at least in
straight circles, is bottoming out, reports
the Wall Street Journal. Interest in sports
like racquetball and roller skating seems
to have peaked and that's taking its toll
on sporting goods manufacturers.
A Message from Noble Ginther to the Gay Community
Dear Friends:
In 1981, I have been the only candidate for
Mayor to publicly and enthusiastically seek
the support of the gay community. I am
proud of this in one sense, and saddened in
another, as I think the time is long overdue
that every candidate for city-wide office
should recognize that the Houston gay community
is a strong, viable, and contributing
force within our city-therefore, it is a legitimate
community to campaign in.
No one should be ashamed or fear political
reprisal for simply seeking the support of
any community that contributes to the
improvement in the quality of life of our city.
As your next Mayor, I know that past
involvement, association, and support we
have given one another will give us a big lead
in that struggle for human equality.
This campaign will be the most public and visable effort that Montrose has seen of any past
mayor's race. I hope that the gay community will join me in that effort. I know that ... together we
can.
Sincerely yours
Noble Ginther
Remember, Noble Ginther is
• The only candidate for Mayor who cared enough • The only candidate for Mayor who truly recogto
ride in our Gay Pride Parade and attend the GPC nizes and respects the rights and integrity of the
rally ... Houston gay community ...
• The candidate for Mayor endorsed by the Gay • The candidate for Mayor who wants your
Political Caucus in 1977... endorsement in 1981!
The Gay Politico] Caucus will be endorsing candidates for City Office this Wednesday, Sept. 16,
7:30 p.m. at the downtown Holiday Inn, 801 Calhoun. Please attend and show your support for
Noble Ginther.

State loitering
law challenged
BUFFALO, N. Y.-An upstate New York
gay rights organization has filed suit in
Federal court seeking to overturn the
New York state loitering law, which they
say is used by local police to harass gay
people.
The Mattachine Society of the Niagara
Frontier filed the class action suit Aug.

half million gays in New York State."
Buffalo and county law officials and
the state attorney general were named as
defendants.

Plaintiff John A. Faulring, Jr.,
president ofMattachine, said that since a
state law against "consensual sodomy"
was overturned earlier this year, police
have turned to the loitering statute as a
means to harass gay people.
"The loitering statute, as now
enforced, denies my right and the right of
other gay men and women to free speech
and assembly," said Faulring.
The suit charges that Buffalo police
regularly use officers posing as gay men
to entrap gay men, and then charge them
with loitering, since they can no longer
charge them with "sodomy."
Said a Mattachine press release,
"Police decoys are not persons 'offended'
under the law by invitations they might
receive when they engage in conversation
with gays."

By Daniel Curzon
International Gay News Agency
WASHINGTON, D.C.-Because special
interest groupe with large budgets have
increasingly donated funds to United
States Senators and Congressmen,
special interests have tightened their
control over the representatives,
influencing voting on budgetary and
. other matters.
Gays are becoming involved because
traditionally gays have had no voice
whatever in national politics. With the
passing of the House of Representatives'
recent bill that would deny legal services
to homosexuals or anyone supporting
gay rights, as well as the upcoming
Family Protection Act, gays have a
special interest in seeing to it that
Congressmen are responsive to the
interests of the nation as a whole,
including gays.

Watergate Prosecutor, now chairman of
Common Cause, in seeking to halt the
funding of Congressional campaigns

Associated Milk Producers. Cox wants to
make Congressional campaigns funded

Presidential campaigns now are.
Cox feels that Political Action
Commitees are buying favored treatment
from Congressmen who accept donations.
Cox cites examples of dairy subsidies
and votes against fraudulent land
development by members of Congress
who have received money from the
special interests involved in the issues
being voted on.
According to Common Cause, these
special interest Political Action
Committees are sizing up the candidates
for the 1982 election.
Common Cause proposes to develop a
system using computers whereby voters
can seek the direct connection between
the monetary donations of groups and
the way elected officials receiving the
donations vote on relevant issues.
In its proposed "Follow The Dollar"
plan, Common Cause will:
• Put the names of all 535 members of
Congress and the committees on which
they serve on computer.
• Record every donation by Political
Action Committees to members of
Congress.
• Program into the computer the
special interest of each Political Action
Committee.
• Record key Congressional billa.
• Record how each member of
Congress votes on issues.
• Publish an analysis of the coincidence
between each elected official's
receipt of special interest money and his
or her votes on key issues.
Cox hopes to counter the trend toward
drowning out "the voices of the ordinary
citizen."

Last month, a group of some 60
evangelical Christiana held a meeting in
Union Square in downtown San
Francisco. They were mostly white, with
a few Asians and Mexican-Americana
mixed in, mostly young. The men tended
to have beards and mid-length hair; the
women, dresses.
They sang the same song over and over
again for an hour: "All Hail to Jesus," a
melody that one had to confess had a
haunting, almosthypnoticeffect.Many
of the Christian singers from time to time
stood with their arms uplifted, almost as
if in a trance. Beatific smiles filled their
faces.
Meanwhile, the gays, men and women
both, were out in even greater quantities,
frequently blowing their whistles to all
but drown out the Christian singing,
which the gays interpreted as a direct
threat to their lifestyles.
Dressed in everyday clothes as well as
in the robes of the occasional Radical
Faeries in the crowd, the gays shouted,
whooped, laughed, and blew soap
bubbles. Quite a few carried quotations
from the Bible on signs, pointing up
biblical injunctions against judging
others lest ye be judged and praying on
public street corners.
The general atmosphere was one of a
cacophonous circus, festivity with a

severe hint of tension underneath.
On one aide of the stage set up for the
singers and musciana was a large sign
saying "Let God Arise." On the other aide
a gay man was holding a sign almost as
big saying "Thank God I'm Gay."
At one point four gay men got up on the
stage and blocked theviewoftheaingera
who were paired male-female at each of
the four or more microphones. Half a
dozen police officers swept onto the stage
and tried to make the gay demonstrators
move. There were a few tussles but no
major fisticuffs and the gay me~ settled
for sitting on the edge of the stage.
Gary Goodell, pastor of the Faith
Fellowship Church in East Oakland, a
member of the SOS steering committe
denied that the group is anti-gay. "We'r~
apolitical. We're not targeting the gay
community. But we stand on the Bible,
which says homosexuality is a sin," he
said .
Many gays saw the SOS as a
neo-faaciat threat and carried shields
made to resemble pink triangles, like the
pink triangles the Nazis forced
homosexuals to wear in German
concentration camps.
Later in the week, leaflets from the SOS
organization were left on car windshields
in the heavily gay Castro district. The
leaflets said unequivocally that San
Francisco is doomed to be destroyed by
God:
"Over the past two decades, this city
has turned farther and farther from God.
All over the world, San Francisco has
developed a reputation as a city which
has rejected the Bible and Christian
morality. This year, Christians from all
over the United States are coming to San
Francisco with a message of hope and a
warning. Sodom had no Bible, and only
one godly family to warn it of God's
judgment, yet was judged quite severely
by God. How much greater will be the
judgment on San Francisco, where the
word of God is preached everywhere, if
that word is ignored."
More confrontations are expected in
coming weeks.
Who did
Zorro?
LOS ANGELES-A Hollywood scriptwriter
has filed a $5-million suit against 20th
Century-Fox, claiming that the movie
studio and actor George Hamilton did
not pay for his script about a gay comic
hero.
Marvin Braverman claims that his
1977 script was eventually turned into
the film Zorro, the Gay Blade.
He accused the filmmakers of
plagiriam and breach of contract. IGNA

recommends

GREAT LAKES, 111.-A Navy panel
recommended Sept. 2 that Melvin Dahl,
21, of Laconia, N.H., a sailor at the Great
Lakes Naval Training Center, be
honorably discharged because he is
homosexual, AI' reported.
An ACLU lawyer representing him
said Dahl had planned to make theN avy

adding that they said they would appeal.
Censorship
still on
I• ncrease
The censorship of books in American
school libraries is said to have
skyrocketed across the nation since last
November, the month Ronald Reagan
was elected to the White House. .
The Association of American
Publishers reports that a survey it
conducted last year indicated that record
numbers of publications were being
banned from school reading lists even
before the election.
However, a spokesperson for the AAJ>
estimates that in the aftermath of the
string of conservative election victories
last November, the number of censorship
incidents jumped 300 to 400 percent.
According to the AAP, among the
popular targets of would-be censors are
works by such authors as Mark Twain,
Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck,
George Orwell, aud even William
Shakespeare, in most instances because
the works contain four-letter words.
The AAJ> study found that many cases
also involved books that espoused views
on such subjects as "secular humanism,"
" Darwinish" and evolution, or works
which contain criticisms of U.S. history.
Several communities reportedly have
even banned the Raymond Briggs book
Father Christ1714B because Santa Claus,
after catching a cold, fortifies himself
with ale before setting out on a chilly
night to deliver presents. •""
Picket planned

park
SAN JOSE, Calif.-It will be gays vs .
gays in the proposed demonstration
October 10 at Marriott's Great America
near San Jose.
Great Outdoors Adventures, a gay
organization, has arranged with the
Mormon-owned amusement park to have
a second Gay Night, an event being
heavily advertised in the San Francisco
Bay area.
A group based in San Jose has formed
under the name Solidarity for Survival to
protest gay patrons spending money at a
park that is owned by the Mormon
Church, noted for its anti-gay statements
by church leaders.
According to the information
disseminated by SFS, gay people spent
over $200,000 in one night at the 1979
"Gay Night" at the park. In 1980, it took
nine months for gay groups to raise
$100,000 in the same area "to fight a
grueling battle for human rights for gays

Gay publisher
named to

committee
SACRAMENTO, Calif.-The publisher of
a Southern California gay newspaper,
Don Hauck of Update, this month was
named to a position on the Select Search
and Screening Council by State
Representative Peter Chacon (D-San
Diego).
Hauck's responsibility will be to
"identify and screen applicants from the
gay and lesbian community for his
sponsorship to several California
commissions and state boards," a press
release announced. ·
Reagan
appointee
purged gays
WASHINGTON, D.C.-U.S. Deputy
Secretary of State William Clark,
according to the London Sunday Times,
helped Reagan get rid of two homosexual
members of his top office staff when
Reagan was governor of California.
Following months of secret investiga·
tion and spying by lower-level staff, the
newspaper said, the two gay men were
revealed to have had "liasons in motels,
orgies in mountain cabins" and were
somehow involved with the teenage son
of a powerful Republican state senator.
The day after Reagan received the
report, the two men were forced to resign.
Clark was said to have been instrumen·
tal in obtaining the resignations.
An appreciative Reagan later
appointed Clark to the California
Supreme Court.
Clark now holds the number two
position in U.S. foreign policy decisions
at the Cabinet level. oaNA
NGTF
appoints new
director of
civil rights
advocacy
WASHINGTON -Mel Boozer, a
Washington, D.C., gay activist, is taking
over as Director of Civil Rights
Advocacy, a job with the National Gay
Taek Force.
The appointment is a part of NGTF's
new initiative against the New Right and
the Family Protection Act. Boozer will
asaume this poeiton in mid-September.
Boozer's duties will be to monitor all
Federal policies affecting the gay
community nationally, establish a
W aehington gay rights advocacy base to
influence Federal policy making, and
serve as chief liaison between NGTF and
other national organizations working for
gay civil rights.
Boozer, a Washington D.C. native,
received national attention last year
when he was nominated for U.S. Vice
President at the Democratic national
convention in New York. Boozer is the
only black and openly gay person to be so
nominated. NG,.,.
NORML blasts
'more prisons'
The National Organization for the
Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) is
criticizing Justice Department
recommendations to build more federal
prisons, claiming that more than ten
percent of all federal prisoners are
marijuana offenders .
Last month, Norman Carlson, Director
of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, cited an
eight percent rise in the federal prisoner
population since last October and an
increased need for more prison space.
Carlson reportedly attributed the rise
in the prisoner population to, among
other things, increased prosecution of
marijuana and other drug cases.
NORML political director George
Farnham is protesting federal proposals
to spend up to $8 billion to build new
prisons. Says Farnham, "It is uncons·
cionable to slash the federal budget for
studying the health implications of using
marijuana with the claim there is no
money, and to then propose spending
$800 million in taxpayers money to
imprison more people convicted on more
marijuana offenses."
Farnham estimates that as many as
3000 people, or more than 10 percent of all
federal prisoners, are in jail on
marijuana charges, many of them only
for poasession.
He says NORML is calling upon the
Reagan administration to look to other
alternatives to marijuana laws than
merely to building more prisons to
incarcerate more marijuana offenders.
Gay clerk's
firing leads to
investigation
ZNS
SAN FRANCISCO-The San Francisco
Civil Service Commission refused last
month to order District Attorney Arlo
Smith to rehire a clerk-typist who
claimed he wae fired because he is gay.
But the Commission did order that the
clerk, Marc Johnson, 35, be given an
equivalent job elsewhere in City Hall.
Importantly, the Commission also
ordered its staff to investigate
accusations of "pervasive discrimina·
tion" against gays in the District
Attorney's office.
Johnson had claimed that he was fired
April 7, after he was falsely accused of
putting a box of candy containing a glasa
eyeball on the desk of his supervisor in
the D.A'a Family Support Bureau.
Johnson's former roommate, Patrick
Mockler, however, implicated Johnson
by telling the Commission that he
purchased the box of candy, removed one
piece and substituted a glass eyeball and
gave the box to Johnson.
John•on'e lawyer, John E. Wahl,
charged that Mockler wae not a reliable
witnees since he owed Johnson money
and also beca11H the Family Support
Bureau obtained his testimony by
untangling a financial problem
involving Mockler's wife and child in
Duluth, Minnesota.
Numerous witnesses appeared at the
public hearing and accused the Family
Support Bureau of harassing gay
employees because of their sexual
orientation.
The District Attorney repeatedly
denied those charges.
Commiuioner Carlota Texidor
ordered the Commission's staff to
proceed quickly with a look into the
accusations of anti-gay biae. IGNA

Samantha Reads Your Stars
H yeu were 11om thla weeka Creativity and romance can be
big winner. for you. Let your imalination eoar, then guide it in
a practical direction, and you can't lose. One caution: Don't rely
completely on others' words.
AIIISz Watch what you say. Bubbles are very fragile and it's
easy to burst one with certain words. Midweek, be ready for
unexpected company. Later, close one needs TLC. Give it, but
you get some too.
TAUIUSz Look for someone to change his mind this weekend,
perhaps about a rather important matter. You can expect plans
involving other people to be up in the air until the last minute.
Later, someone special wants candlelight and ro&e8.
GIMINh Concentrate on the areas of life that are really important
to you and put the minor ones on the back burner for a bit.
Be sure to do something especially nice to yourself. You're a
priority too.
MOONCHILDa Meet with those who can help further your
goals in week ahead. You have accell8 to a number of resources
now, so use 'em! Your sentimental nature springs into full
bloom, especially where love is concerned.
UOa Financial questions are a bit iffy thi11 coming week.
Don't take unnecessary chances. Remember that most rewards
come through effort and that there are few freebies. Confusing
news arrives; get to the bottom of it.
YIIGOa You are a gentle soul, idealistic and sensitive. You
have a great detj.} of imagination but tend to daydream quite a
bit. You need to remember that it takes action to make those
dreams come true, but one small dream just may come true this
coming week.
UIIAa You are a pretty definite person, usually knowing
where you're going. This weekend, though, you might feel as if
you're one of those changeable autumn days around the comer.
Hang in there.
SCOIPIOI Tipsy flights of fancy, pie-in-the-sky schemes, and
flaky designs abound this weekend. It won't be euy, but try to
keep your feet on the ground. Or at least within a few inches of it!
Practice being skeptical.
SAGmAIIUSa While you (and the rest of us, too) sometimes
have fits of irrational behavior, one thing you simply cannot
accept is stupidity. This weekend you're apt to meet one who
seems to be out in left field. Take another look before you pop
your cork. There could be a reason.
CAPIICOINa You may be chafing at the bit this weekend, and
feeling uif you're trying to gallop on a track that's two feet deep
in molasses. That can be quite frustrating to someone like you
who loves to zip along! Keep cool.
AQUAIIUSa You're restless, no doubt about it. It's been a long
summer. Before you take off to hunt for better pastures, peer at
your own in the different September light. You may find it's not
yet time to reap the harvest.
PISCISa Promised support could fall through this weekend so
have alternate plans at hand. You may feel you're on an emotional
seesaw, with optimistic hi~ha and pessimistic lows.
Relax and go gamble with an affair.
Trend by Henry McClurg
What is it that gay males
do that others don't?
These two diseases (see story elsewhere this issue)
which are attacking gay males, and proving fatal at an
alarming percentage, has us all concerned.
What is it that gay men do nationwide that others
don't? What products do gay males use that others
don't?
Scientists at the National Center of Disease Control
are trying ~figure it out.
I can think of two products used nationwide almost
exclusively by gay males-and not by anyone else:
about eight brand names of butyl nitrite (poppers) and
two brands of lubricant.
It could be worth examining these products. And I'm
sure the National Center for Disease Control is.
You'll be happy to know though, as far as I've been
able to uncover, no cases of these diseases have been
reported in Houston among gay men.
