The coalition of TV preachers and right wingers
New conservative government
will affect gay rights movement
By Henry McClurg
EDITOR
Right-wing conservatives handin-
hand with fundamental
religionists will have a major
impact on the political tone of
the country -an impact that w'i ll
slow the gay rights movement at
least for the next few years
L1beral lPaclers , includmg
some who were defeated m
elecllons Nov. 4, are predicting
hoping-that the pendulum
will soon swing left again
ufter the country has had a taste
of right-wing government.

forces captured the White House
and the U.S. Senate in the Nov.4
election and made strong gains
in the U.S. House. A coalition
between conservative Democrats
and newly-elected
conservative Republicans gives
the right wing complete control
of the Executive and Legislative
branches of the U.S. governmen
t The third branch of
government, the judicial,
remains in liberal control for the
time being, but retiring judges
will be replaced by appointments
from t he White House.
What ca used the r ight wing
shift? How perma nen t and how
extreme will its con seq uences
be?
The "Moral Majori ty" and
three other simi lar groups
wasted no time after t he voting
in announci ng their "hit li s t" for
the 1982 elections and to te ll
those conservatives that were
just put i nto office. "You better
hew the line."
Vice-president e lect George
Bush. w ho was accepted but
never embraced by the new
politica l rig ht , has become the
first to counter I heir . vocal
threa t s w ith hi s ow n.
''I'm not in timida ted by those
who s uggest I' d bett er hew the
lin e. T he hell w ith it ," Bush said
a t a news conference in Hous ton
Nov. 10.
"I don' t need a ny a dvice from
these people. They don't scare
me a bit."

Reaga n , however, responded
differently. ''I'm not going to
separate myself from the people
w ho elec ted us," he said.
Television evangelist jerry
Falwell is "those people" He
expects the new President to
"produce." Falwell is head of
Moral Majority and proclaims
what he calls a "pro-family"
doctrine. There is no room for
homosexuals in this doctrine.
Falwell claims the Republican
election sweep marks the
beginning of an overha ul of laws
deali ng with the group's pet
project s: abor tion, pornography.

What caused the new-right
shift?
Or. Andrew Miracle. a Texas
Christian University anthropoligisl
in Fort Worth. says.
simply. I he economy. People
elected a conservative government
for the sake of the
economy. not for the sake of socalled
moral issues.
Mi racle said polit ical activism

he said. A nd these si mp le

the "Chri s t ian r ight."
"Th e fund a me nta lis t are
saying. 'Do as we say. vote as we
say, and God will look favorably
on us and solve all of our
problems,"' Miracle said
The yearn for quick and easy
answers by turning to "other

J.lreal ~oc1al stress IS nothmg

"DLJring thP 1930s th~ r. dw

How long will thP new nght
hold power?
The most damaglllg b,u;\ to
the new right will be an
improved economy. said
Miracle. addmg that economic
recovery will take away a lot of
the frustration that is fueling
interest in the groups.
The backlash against the
mixture of religion and politics
began prior to the election.
Leaders of 13 major U.S.
religious groups. including the
United Church of Christ. United
Presbyterian Church in the
U.S.A. and top officials from the
Lu t heran Council U .S.A ..
charged in October that those
like Falwel l were being
"unfaithful to the fullness of the
bibical witness."
"We do not simply dis<Jgree
with t heir stance on particular
items on t heir agenda," a joint
statement said. "We find their
selection of issues to be
theologically and elhir.ally
Inadequate."
Miracle adds that the
backlash against the new right
may include a demand that
politically-active church
groups-perhaps even all
church groups-lose their taxexempt
sta tu s.

"The other side of the coin"
Civil libertarian
defends "excessive"
police actions
WASHINGTON - Com·
plaints to the federal
government's Community
Relations Service about
excessive use of force by
policemen almost doubled in
the past year, the service
said.
But college professor Gary
Sykes, who left his
classroom last spring for a
taste of life os a policemen,
announced this month that
he defends the type of police
actions he once criticized as
a civil libertarian.
During fiscal 1980, which
ended Sept. 30, the
Community Relations
Service said it received 249
complaints charging excessive
police force-a 93%
increase over the previous
year. The organization said
63% of the complaints came
from blacks, 32% from
Hispanics, 4% from American
Indians and the
remaining 1% from whites.
No breakdown was relased
as to how many of the
complainers were gay.
"Policemen live with a
constant sense of personal
danger," Sykes, now a
criminal justice professor of
the Superior branch of the
University of Wisconsin,
told UP I. "I read about it, but
I didn't know how strong it
could be until I experienced
it."
While teaching at a
Kentucky university before
moving to Superior, Sykes
served on the State Board of
the Kentucky Civil Liberties
Union as "an outside critic of
some police actions where
force was used."
''I'm an inside defender of
many police actions that I as
a member of the Civil
Liberties Board might have
formerly raised a question
about," said Sykes, 36, who
joined the police force
fulltime. but has returned to
teaching.
Sykes, who has a doctrate
in political science, said his
duties as a patrolman
included answering complaints
about barking dogs,
breaking up bar fights,
chasing burglars and
comforting battered wives.

Anita's new
romance
MONTGOMERY, Ala.Alabama
industrialist Larry
Striplin says he and retired
anti -gay crusader A'nita
Bryant have no immediate
plans to marry and they
remain close friends. news
services reported Nov. 12.
Striplin criticized earlier
press coverage of their
relationship, saying, "The
national news services have
bothered her to no end. If
half the people from the
media that bothered her
would live the life she lives,
the world would be a better
place."
Bryant separated from
first husband and business
manager Bob Green earlier
this year in Miami and
moved to Oklahoma,
claiming her religious
ministry had been misused
by Green.

said. If you lose control of
the situation, you know
there's a chance someone
will grab your arms and take
your gun.
"So you do whatever is
necessary to control a
person-grab their hair,
clothing, whatever. That
justifies what may look to
some like excessive force."
Sykes said that before he
became a policeman, he
thought most people in
trouble were victims of
circumstances and would
respond to reason rather
than force.
"I still believe that," he
said, "but I found out there
are people who take an
expression of concern or
empathy as a sign of
weakness. There are people
so prone to violence that the
only way to deal with them
is with violence."
Sykes has become critical
of lawyers and judges.
"Because we fear police
officers might make a
mistake or abuse their
powers. we have imposed
complex rules governing
even simple arrests, " he
said. "Many officers feel
unable to do what they're
sworn to do becuase of the
complexities of the law and
because those laws are in a
constant state of change.
"As long as lawyers and
judges continue to play
technical games. try to
distort those rules to their
own best advantage. the
public safety is in danger by
those who lack the sensitivity
to treat other penplt• as
people," he said

It's lncredlblel
Super Psychic
Test your ESP-right now
by David Speer
CONTRIBUTING WAITER
Have you practiced your
ESP today? Since I feel that
everyone has ESP and
should develop it in order
to help bring more
happiness to life, I am
going to propose a simple
test. I feel that ESP works
best when there is an
emotional attachment
involved. And it is most
encouraging when the
result is known immediately.
Open and spread out
before me is a pakcage of
Life Savers in five flavors:
lemon, lime, pineapple,
orange and cherry. After
looking them over, I am
choosing one, putting it
into my mouth and
enjoying its taste.
It is melting and it's very
good.
Now I am sending you
the message (ESP does not
necessarily obey our laws
of time and space) of what
flavor I am eating, so
vividly that I want your
own saliva to begin to flow.
Open your mind and
receive my message. What
is the impression you are
getting-your first and
strongest impression.
What flavor of Life Savor is
melting in my mouth. Stop
reading and say it now
aloud.
The lncredlblel Horoscope
Did you say it? The
correct flavor is listed at
the end of I he "Incredible
Predictions" column
below, so that your eye
would not have accidently
wandered to it. You can
look down now to see the
correct answer.
This was of course not a
test of earth shattering
importance but I hope it
will encourage you to
conduct tests with your
friends. Eating a Life Saver
is a very good way to test.
But use your imagination
and expand upon this test.
Once you experience the
excitement of receiving the
right answer, you will be
"hooked" on ESP.

Expect lOOMPH roller coaster
by David Speer
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
• I predict that a midAmerica
theme park soon
will announce plans for a
roller coaster ride that will
require riders to have a
bona fide medical certificate.
The climb before the
first drop will take almost
two minutes and then the
roller coaster will reach
speeds in excess of 100
MPH. Roller coaster fans
will c:ome from the far
corners of the earth for
this!
• My ESP says there IS a
scandal brewin)l among
the large discount houses
in the United States. A
federal investigation will
uncover payoffs. cheating,
sex and drugs in the
scandal. The investigation
will result in higher prices
passed on to the con·
sumers.
• Will churches be
taxed'! I forsee that a
special government study
will be enacted within the
next two years and it will
eventually allow churches
to he taxed on all property
and investments not used
predominatly In the"act of
worship."
• I sense that federal
troops will be called upon
to assist in "drug busts'·
along both sides of the
Florida coasts within the
near future. Many large
warehouses will be set
ablaze.
• I forsee more strict
banking regulations in
Florida. due to the vast
influx of drug dollars.
• And the answer to the
Life Savers ESP test in my
"Super Psychic column
above is Cherry.·

Ask Gladys
Love and sex,
not the same
by Amazing Gladys
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Q. Dear Gladys: I've got
this problem. My lover and I
have been together for two
years and are faithful to each
other. However, lately at
work. this one guy, named
Mike, has been asking me
out and over to his place.
He's a real doll and I feel
good when I around him.
If I accept his invitation,
and my lover finds out, it
could be the end of our twoyear
relationship. My lover's
just that way.
What can I do to get my
lover to accept the fact that I
can have sex with other
guys. -B.L.
Dear B.L.: How would you
feel if the wheels were
changed. That is, if it were
your lover who's about to
hop into the sack with Mike.
You would be hurt, but
this is 1980 America. And
Love and Sex have been
discovered not to be I he
same thing.
Impersonal sex is good,
healthy and enjoyable. And
so is love. However, there's a
problem here. With this
Mike, who you work with
everyday, it's not about to be
impersonal. And that would
not be fair to your other
half-as long as he's your
other half.
Satisfy your sexual
fantasy urges with someone
else, not Mike.
Your lover is more likely to
accept that, if he finds out.

Local media-monitoring group
fonning
"The media has a major role
in shaping what society
views as normal and
acceptable. The media often
reflects very traditional
views and presents those
outside the mainstream of
suburban society as less
than desirable or simply
non-existent," says William
). Jackson. who along with
Pam )ones, have announced
they will form a news media
relations group.
The organization will be
called Lesbian and Gay
Media Advocates of
Houston, Jackson said.
"We're forming to monitor
the representation of
lesbians and gay men in the
media and to respond. letting
the media know how we feel
about that protrayal," he
said, adding that one task of
the group will be to increase
the visibility of gay people in
accept an "affair" [which is
what it would be) with Mike.
And now that we have this
settled, you can send Mike to
me.
Q, Dear Gladys: Are you
supposed to be a serious
column or a funny column.
Are your letters real? Or do
you make them up?

Deer RB: Are you supposed
to be a serious question or a
funny question? Are you
real? Or did you just make

local Houston publications
and on broadcast stations.
Another goal of the group.
Jackson said, will be "to
assure that we are accurately
shown as taking part in
every segment of life:
working in the business
world, living in the inner city
and the suburbs, having
many of the same goals and
frustrations as others."
The organizers said they
will encourage gay people to
write letters to local
publications and broadcast
stations. Organization
members may also pay
personal visits to media
outlets to discuss needs.
Those interested in
attending the initial
organizational meeting of
the group can contact
