Gay Political Caucus Opens
Nominations for Elections
By Robert Hyde
Houston's Gay Political Caucus opened
nominations for the February 15 elections
for four of its board seats and four of its
executive seats at its general meeting
Wednesday evening, Jan. 18.
Since a second call for nominations will
be held at the general meeting Feb. 1, only
four persons were recognized as nominees:
Jack Valensky will be running for renomi·
nation for his expired board seat; Deborah
Squires and Dan Pritchett will be compete
for position of secretary of the caucus; and
Sue Lovell, vacating her board seat,
placed her name in nomination for the
vice-presidential chair
GPC board member Ray Hill called a
met>ting to be held at his office on Wednesday,
Feb. 2.5, 7:30 p.m., 2505 N. Shepherd
(downstairs), for "anybody who wants to
talk about my candidacy" as president of
the caucus.
Earlier in the evening, GPC President
Larry Bagneris introduced Anne Wheeler,
an unsuccessful GPC-endorsed City Council
candidate, as a woman who "stood up
for us when it was unpopular" and who
now needs the help of the GPC in order to
settle her $9000 campaign debt.
The caucus, in association with the
Community Political Action Committee,
sports associations and bar owners, has
scheduled a benefit performance of the
popular Noel Coward play, Private Lives,
to be staged at Miss Charlotte's on Feb. 23
with the original Diversity Players cast to
help raise the necessary funds to offset the
political debt.
"I'm very pleased that the gay com mun·
ity is organizing this first fundraiser for
me," Wheeler said.
The benefit, billed as "Private Lives and
Public Friends," will offer champagne
and hors d'()('uvres. There will also be an
auction following the performance.
Tickets will be $15; $7 for standing room
only.
The caucus then moved to other busi·
ness.
Anni11e Parker reported on the caucuo'
board retreat, an eight·hour affair establishing
priorities for 1984. She stated one
of the most important accomplishments to
come from the meeting was moving nomi·
nations for GPC elections to December in
order to allow new officers to begin at the
first of the year.
A motion to hire a financial director was
adopted by the caucus.

H PD Vice Stages N umerous Raids in M ontrose
By Robert Hyde, Hollis Hood and
Billie Duncan
Forty-six people have been arrested in the
past week in bar and bookstore raids, in
addition to the recent raid at JR's lost
week, ond one OJ was assaulted so badly
at the Exile that he required stitches at
Ben Taub hospital.
Despite GPC's claim that the gay com·
munity now has friends in the police
department-and a recently passed Sexually
Oriented Business Ordinance which
specifically excludes bookstores and
bars-these "friends" have no control
over the vice squad which has been hard
at work arresting people from thei;e estab·
lishments, while nothing has apparently
been done with the Montrose maosagestudiot1
that serve the non·gay community
and pose a threat to neighborhood survival.
On Jan. 15, vice officers arrested six
men at the Ballpark bookstore for public
lewdness.
A Jan. 16th raid netted three more
arrests for indecent exposure at a 24-hour
newsstand on the North Freeway.
Seven raids took place on Wednesday
and early Thursday morning. Vice took in
three men at Diner's News, one from
Studz, a 19-year·old male in the 2700 block
of Stanford two men at the Asylum-all
on charges' of indecent exposure, public
lewdness or prostitution.
Six persons were arrested at the Barn, a
gay bar, involving public intoxicati?n,
with the bartenders being charged with
serving thoNe persons drinks. .
Similar charges were made against thl'
bartenders and patrons of the Exile. a
downtown gay bar
The Exile's OJ was "roughed up'" so
badly after he was taken outside the bar he
required "quilt• a fl'w stitches"' at Ben
Taub Hospital before he could be taken to
jail, according to an employee.
There were also eight arrests at Mr.
Peepers bookstore for public lewdness and
indecent exp06ure on Wednesday night.
Information on these raids wao taken
from the vice activity sheets. The vice
officers involved were Sergeants Truman
PoAse, Lain, Kivela, Magee, Bumgardner:
Evans, Arocha, Castillo, Clendemun and
Wong. The arrestR made on the North
Freeway were made by the "B Team."
Regarding the Exile incident, one eyewitness
who asked not to be identified
said, "We were just Rtanding there having
a drink. I looked around and there's this
guy-and they're (police) just weigh laying
the shit out of him-and I go, 'What the
hell's happening?'
The vice contact sheets list vice squad
officers Bumgardner and Evans in charge
of this operation.
"I don't know if this guy said something
or what, but it was like two or three of'em
had him down and under restrainl They
were handcuffing him.
"And they dragged him out. It happened
immediately-like it was just that quick

there.
"Doug (Exile owner) gets on the mike
and says, 'Everyone just calm down; there
is no problem, they are here to protect you.
Everyone stand still. No one say nothing.
No one do nothing. And there will be no
problem.'
"They were there (about) 30 minute,;."'
the witnes11 said. "There wM this one that
just kept walking around, and he'd go
'you,' and they'd carry (the customer) out,"
the witness stated.
The eyewitne~s stated that apprxi·
mately 20 people were arrested by this
method in the raid which took place
around 11 :00 p.m., although the arrest
sheet stated only 10. Eight plain clothei;
officers were reported to have been in the
bar at the time the raid was happening.
The bartenders were the first to be
arrested, but the rest, according to another
person who was in the bar, "were picked at
random. He would walk around very cai;ually
and say 'you go up and stand by the
stage.' He had all the people that were
around the stage go up and stand by the
bar and walked around the bar, I don't
know how many times, and then said,
'We're finished.'"
None of the persons taken were discer·
nably drunk, according to persons who
watched the incident. "Obviously everyone
was having a good time, but as far
as being high, I wouldn't be able to say."
As the witne~s reported, no one was fa).
ling off the bar stools.
No one resisted the police. "When they
pointed their finger, the person would just
get up and walk out. Nobody said a word to
them. I kept wondering if they were going
to come to us."
The police never stated what they were
i;pecifically doing, according to the v.it·
ness, nor their mission in entering the bar.
"They didn't say, <Thi is a bui;t.' They
didn't say anything. They just came in.
The show was going on. The music
stopped, but they didn'tidentifywhat they
were doing."'
A drag show by Exile employee,; was in
progress, and the police told all of the par·
ticipants to return to the dressing room,;
and put on men's clothing.
"Doug took the microphone and said,
'Be quiet, they arc here for your
protection-there -..ill be no trouble
They're gonna do their job. Let them do
their job. Everyone ~tand 8till. Be calm
and please be quiet."'
The eye,.itness said there was no baH1s
for the police to be harassing the bar
patrons, "because they werl'n 't doing any·
thing. They were just drinking their
drinks. You know it if there"s something
obHcene going on, or vile and crazy .... But
it was not. Thingll were really quiet."
Yet the police records show that some
were arre6ted for public lewdness.
The other witness i;aid that if a person
had come to see the show, he would not
have had time to become "visibly intoxi·
cated," because the show had just started
when the polke came in.
"There's got to be a reason for these
three recent raid~,'' said the witnei;s, referring
to previous arrests made at JR's and
the Barn. "Just tell me what it is, 'cause I
don't know." Apparently neither doeb
Montrose's City Councilman George
Greanias.
Kent Spear, Greaniae' aide, i;aid Thursday,
"We don't understand it and are just
as frustroted as you are. Several people are
confused about why the bars are being hit
and not the modeling studio~. they
thought the knock down would be more of
a sting operation."

Community Upset Over Rash of Vice Raids
from page I
In an effort to soothe the community's
ruffled f.eathers, Greanias' office was
attempting Thursday to contact every bar
manager and owner for a meeting with
Police Chief Lee Brown, which has been
tentatively scheduled for Monday afternoon.
Spear also stated that the meeting is
open to all interested persons.
Representatives of GPC, CPAC, CHE.
the Montrose BuRiness Guild and other
organizations will be especially invited.
"We are very concerned about selective
enforcement," Spear said. "We are Working
it through the system."
GPC President Larry Bagneris, in an
attempt to cool the rising tempers in the
community in order to give community
representatives a chance to find out the
facts, said, "These arrests do not mirror
the entire Houston Police Department, but
officers who are very paranoid about
homo11exuality."
All officers involved, incidentally, are
members of the HPD's vice squad.
Another meeting with Chief Brown has
been set for this Friday (Jan. 20), which
will include members of the GPC, attorneys
representing the hara and some of
tho11e arrested, as well two men who were
arrested who plan to report to the Chief the
treatment they received at the hands of
the HPD.
GPC member and gay activist Ray Hill,
who ha.s been invited to the meeting, said,
"My priority concerns the 46 people who
have been arrested. In the past, these people
have been left to the mercy of the police
and courts and nobody knows what
happens to them."
Another person reported to the VOICE
that the police raids may represent a
power struggle between the Mayor and the
police department.
"The police department wants to show
the Mayor that they are running Houston
and not her. So they say, 'Let's go arrest a
few fags,' and then that's what they do.
It's just to harass, and it's just to stir up
trouble."
Bagneris said that he is concerned for
the busine11ses that may be affected.
"Some people are genuinely afraid," he
said.

VOICE Employee Arrested;
Reveals Degradation by HPD
By Robert Hyde
The Houston Police Department's vice
squad hit the MONTROSE VOICE close to
home this week when one of its employeeH,
~rt L!lnd: was arrested for alledged public
mtox1cabon at the Barn, 710 Pacific,
Hhortly after midnight Wednesday Jan
18. ' .
Land's arrest coincided with the seizure
of 4ri other men in the Montrose community,
including five others at the Barn and
nil within a week's time. '
Land went out for a beer late Tuesday
evening. After drinking two at the Ripcord,
he walked the short half blocks to the
Barn where he ordered another, one he
was not allowed to finish.
At 12:10 a.m. Wednesday morning
a~cording to the vice squad contact sheets:
vice squad officers A.J. Dorr (Badge No.
61096), C.J, Clark (Badge No. 38019) and
D. A. Atchetee (Badge No. 39244) entered
the Barn. After removing from the wall
and examining the bar's liquor license, the
officers began selecting individuals "at
random," Land said, and confiscated their
!D's.
Land said that he was not intoxicated.
"I feel that I was picked because I was
alone," he said. "There were two people
together in the bar who seemed to be
loaded, and the vice didn't bother them."
Land was told by one of the officers to
"go sit on the bench" in the front of the
Barn where two other people were waiting
to be taken to police headquarters. Land
said one of the men was an off-duty bar·
tender of the Barn who was not intoxi·
cated and another a customer who
appeared to be 11ober.
Land did state that one of the two other
men who joined him at the front of the bar
•eemed to be intoxicated.
Lund and two other men were then
frisked, handcuffed and forced to enter a
squad car.
I.and rPportocl that one man nskl'd an
officer, "What am I being charged with?"
"You'll find out when you get down·
town," Land reported the officer as say-

After reaching pohre headquarters
Land said an officer asked each of the~
their names, occupations, addresses,
Social Security numbers and driver's
license numbers, and made note of what
each was wearing.
After they left the car, I.and said, he and
the two other men were frisked again,
taken inside the building on Reisner
Street, and, after being told to stand
against a wall, were frisked again.
Two of the men were then asked by an
HPD officer how much they had had to
drink, and if they were homosexual, Land
said.
One of the men, the more outspoken of
the three, was taken away, Land reported.
According to Land, he and the remaining
man were thl'n taken to a cell where
five minutes later they were frisked again.
"Are you going to give us any trouble?"
an officer asked the two men, according to
Land.
Land then asked if he could make a
phone call, and was told by an officer that
he could within 45 minutes, yet it was over
three hours before he was permitted to use
the phone.
After a short wait, the men were taken
back to a squad car for transport to
another building, Land said, where four
other men from the Barn were waiting
including two bartenders. one of who~
was on duty at the time of the arrests.
~fter being told by officers to put everything
that was metal on their persons into
a bag, a photograph of the group was
taken.
"It was like it was going to be in a yearbook,"
Land said.
Land and one other man were then
ta ken back to police headquarters on
Rei•ner Street, friRked again and returned
to a cell, after which Land was subjected to
treatment he considers degrading.
"Are you homosexual?" an officer asked
him, Land said
He was then told to stand up.
"Take off your boots," an officer told
him. "Take off your ~ocks. Take off your
pantH. Take off your underwear. Take off
your jacket. Take off your sweater. Take
off your shirt."
Land said that he was allowed to keep
on his T-shirt.
Standing in the cell practically nude,

wearing a cock ring?"
When Land said that he was not the
officer said, "Put your underwear ' and
pants back on."
Land was then told by an officer, "Follow
me," was photographed and then
taken to the fifth floor of the building
where he was told by another officer, "It
will cost you $110 to get out of here. Do you
have that much on you?"
Not until then was Land told that he
had been arrested for public intoxication.
He was then allowed to use the telephone,
although an officer talked to him
constantly, Land said, rushing him while
he was calling for help.
After the phone call, Land reported that
he was returned to a cell. Ten minutes
later, another man arrested at the Barn
joined him.
"We could hear them out in the han; ·

queers and faggots."
Just prior to Land's release and on his
way from the cell to the elevator, Land
said several officers were seated, some
reading newspapers. As he w81S passing,
Land said, one of the officers called out in
a nasty tone, "Your mama, Kathy Whit·
mire, the Mayor, was touring all the faggot
queer bars in a double-decker bus."
Land was then taken down by the elev a·
tor, he said, photographed again, then
released.
"It was uncalled for," Land said of his
experience. "I felt degraded. I wasn't
drunk, and they wouldn't allow me to take
a breath test. 'You don't get to take a
breath test for this,' I was told."
Walter Strickler, owner of the Barn, was
contacted regarding the incident and
wked if he had any comment.
"No." he said. "I'm just going to •weat it
out."

Gay Prostitutes
Say They Lied
About Mississippi
Governor
Three homosexual prostitutes who said
they had sex with successful gubernatorial
candidate Bill Allain of Mississippi
stated earlier this week that the allege·
tions were not true and that they had been
paid to make them.
The accusers gave the story to the Jackson,
Miss., Clarion-Ledger on the governor's
inauguration day to "set the record
straight."
The men, Grady Arrington, David Holliday
and Donald Johnson, all recanted the
story they had told and gave sworn statements
to that effect to Allain's attorney.
Bill Spell, the Jackson attorney who
supervised an investigation of Allain'e
private life for his Republican opponent,
said the move was expected and that the
three had been offered "large sums of
money" in a "combination of threat and
reward" to change their stories. Spell said
Arrington had mentioned an offer of
$5000, which Allain's attorney, Crymes
Pittman, denied.
Holliday, one of the prostitutes, said a
rE"prE'sentative of a private detectivE'
agency that worked for Allain's opponents
gave him money to make the statements.
All three were allegedly placed on
the payroll at $62 per day, with promises
of more money on election day by Allain's
opponents.
Allain, 55, denied the statements that he
had homosexual relationships and took a
lie detector test to prove his innocence. He
was elected with 56 percent of the vote on
Nov 8.

Virginia Apuzzo: NGTF's Outspoken Executive Director
By Kathy Tepee
Via Gay Pre.a Auociation Wire Service
"Before there was gay pride, brothers and
sisters, there was gay and lesbian rage.
We now have an opportunity, and damn
good reason, to be in touch with that rage
again for the SECOND STONEWALL,"
said Virginia Apuzzo, executive directorof
the lljational Gay Task Force, at a recent
gay pride rally in New York City which
addressed the AIDS issue.
"And just like our brothers and sisters
who took to the street because they were

"we came to the street today for no less
purpose. We are fighting for our lives, and
the government better get the message
that we intend to win.
''The fact of the matter is, brothers and
sisters, that we stand at a critical moment
in our history. We can look at thi8 moment

At this time when so many people in our
community are fearful of AIDS. Apuzzo
delivered a very up message to fight back.
Notable activists Robin Tyler and
Stonewaller, himself, Ed Murphy called
Apuzzo "Our Leader."
Apuzzo recently met with White House
representatives in the offices of the Health
and Hum an Services. Concerning the out·
come of the meeting, Apuzzo said, "There
is no evidence that there is a commitment
about AIDS. I don't believe that the Rea·
gan administration knows what the
number one health care priority is.
"At the meeting, we were told that we

"Congre88 is something that is a dream

Tackling another political iesue, Apuzzo
talked about a recent case where a closeted
politician approached the lesbian and gay
community and requested our help and
support in a political campaign. Apuzzo
commented, "More and more people
within the community are going to have

who take the risks and who are not willing
to take a risk themselves. Basically,

make eure that they didn't take it away."'
Apuzzo has had a varied career from
nun to teacher to politician to leading one
of the major gay rights organizations in
the country.
"I'm a ten<' her firllt,a lesbian feminist, a
polrtician, and I'm Italian. I'm very cultu·
rally identified, and that is good. I like
that-to put aside where I came from and
what I'm about.
"I learned my politics in the two most
political environments-as an ex-nun,
there is nothing more political than the
Church; and as a teacher, there is nothing
more political than academia.
"In the convent, the Church is the politi·
cal beast, and academia is perhaps the
most cut-throat environment."
Apuzzo went on to explain how she
learned politics on the street in the Bronx.
Then she briefly entered a convent when
she was 26-years-old, already having a

community. I think
the movement

B.A. degree. She went on to study theology
and philosophy, although, "The Church
paid very little to have me work for them
for years," she said.
One of her proudest accomplishments
was introducing Black Studies in the
Archdiocese in New York.
Apuzzo held two positions in New York
City administration. She was the former
Assistant Commiesioner of Health and
supervised the largest ambulatory system
in the world at that time and provided the
first patient liU>ratureon ammebiasis. Her
second position was a term as executive
director of Administration Trials and
Hearings, the internal court system of the
city.
Apuzzo no longer supports her one-time
boss, Mayor Koch, nor is she in agreement
with Herb Rickman, who was appointed
liaison to the lesbian and gay community.
"I think that Koch has to seriously con·
sider not only whether Herb Rickman
serve& our need, but also whether Herb
Rickman, in fact, serves Koch's need in
terms of dealing with our community."
Also, Apuzzo had vigorously, alon1i
with the majority from the community,
supported Governor Cuomo, who recently
approved $.5.25 million towarde AIDS.
Apuzzo takes great pride in her excellent
reputation within the community: "The
fi nest thing you can hope to have ie the
support from your peers. It matters a great
deal to me. People have been very suppor·
tive to me. My staff has been extraordi·
nary. We are a team, and I feel real good
about that."

Whitmire Denounced for 'Barhopping through Community'
By Robert Hyde
Fifteen angry Houstonian's appeared
before City Council Wednesday, Jan. 18,
to denounce Mayor Kathy Whitmire and
Councilmen George Greanias, Anthony
Hall and Rodney Ellis for touring the gay
bars Jan. 8 to thank the gay community
for its support.
College student Carrie Schultz, who
plans to become a Houston teacher, told
Council that the mayor was setting a very
bad example for young people by "bar hop·
ping through the homo,;exual commun·
ity."
Jewell Davis U>mons screamed, "God is
after you!"
Geneva Kirk Brooks, long known in the
Houston community as a champion of fun·
damentalist causes, i;aid that when the
mayor went behind a bar to a microphone
to thank her constituents, that she had
done eo, "slipping and slithering over
semen soaked floors to become a bar
maid."
Jerry Vann, Community Political
Action Committt>e member and co-owner
of Miss Charlotte's, said the censoring
group, employing the usual rhetoric,
"preached" to the Mayor and her Council·
men of Biblical violations and of the deg·
radation of Houston's gay bars.
"It was incredible," Vann said. "But it
was really quite sad to watch them and
listen to them talk."
Vann added that Councilman Jim
Greenwood's opinion was that of watch·
ing a fire and "just letting it burn it.qelf

menta might have contained some element
of general concern, adding that the
group just did not realize "how completely
absurd their whole program was."
Greanias was at a landfill hearing in
Fort Bend County, but neither Whitmire
nor Hall or Ellis showed any reaction to
the group's remarks.
Hill said that "every member of the
Council was involved in a serious struggle
not to burst out laughing."
Hill also invited Brooks and her group to
accompany him on a tour of the gay bars
Ro they could actually see what a gay bar
was like, since he felt that none of them
had ever been in one. But their tour would
be faster, Hill said, to enable them to catch
a late night showing of the Rocky Horror
Picture Show, so that they could appreciate
Frank's comment: "It isn't easy hav·
ing a good time."
Hill stated that Brooks declined his invitation
Wedne:>day for fear of catching
AIDS, but told him Thursday she would go
on a tour if other members of the group
would join her.
Whitmire was asked after the meeting if
she would make another gay bar tour. "I
probably will," she said.

Phil Donahue Show Examines SMU's Gay Rights Issue
and MCC's Rejection by National Council of Churches
By Doug Weatherford
The nationally syndicated Phil Donahue
program focused on the struggle for recog·
nition of the Gay and Lesbian Student
Support Organization (GLSSO) at South·
em Methodist University in Dallas in a
program taped Dec. 13. It is being aired in
Texas at different times on different sta·
tions in January
Representing GLSSO was Leslie
C-00per, former e<r<:hairperson for tlte
group, who, along with Robert Rios,
helped found the support organization
and fight for formal school recognition
during the spnng and fall semesters of
1983.
Speaking for the other side was former
SMU student senator Ted Brabham, who
has continued to lead the opposition to
GLSSO's efforts for senate recognition,
despite his failure to win a position as a
student body officer.
Also included on the hour-long discu,;sion
program were the Rev. Troy Perry,
whose Metropolitan Community Church
organization has been attempting to win
recognition and admittance into the
National Council of Churches, and the
Rev. Dr. Oscar McCloud. the head of the
Council's Constitutent Membership Com·
mittee.
The Council spent 18 months deliberatmg
the issue of MCC admittance, only to
put the application on indefinite hold,
pending the ability to form a better con·
sensus among Council member churches.
Donahue began the program by point·
ing out that many major colleges have
already accepted the effort.' of gay stu·
dents to have support organizations. But
he stated that it was not possible to overstate
the controversy which had been
raised among students, faculty, adminis·
tration and alumni ofSMU over the appli·
cation for recognition of GLSSO. He
stated that it had split the campus and
split the governing board which is put in
the middle of trying to balance the rights
of students against the needs of a minority
student body.
Donahue said that he sensed the fear
among many at SMU wru; perhaps that
the school's image had been tarnished by
the media by the suggestion that if you're
Texan, you are a redneck and a reaction·
ary, are afraid of people of different opinions
or lifestyle,s, and adamantly against
having any "queers or steers" on campus.
It was pointed out by Cooper that a cam·
pus poll showed most ~MU students, if
allowed to vote yea or nay on the i,-;sue of
recognition, would vote it down by a mar·
gin of 59 to 41 percent (with a six percen
tnge point margin of error). She also stated
that many members oftheSMU gay com·
munity were afraid to come out of the
closet or attend GLSSO meetings for fear
of being ostracized by the rest of the student
body.
Donahue opined that SMU seemed,
through its administration and alumni. to
be proud of the label "conservative," but
that it was sensitive to Brabham·s appear·
ance on the program, not wanting him to
be perceived as speaking for SMU in any
official or school-sanctioned capacity.
Student Body President Homer Reynolds
was quoted on the program as saying
many at SMU were frustrated at
Brabham appearing on the program, and
that there was "sheer disgust" that he
would appear to be representing SMU on
national television.
Brabham countered that Reynolds had
an "unfortunate personality," and that he
had previously tried to label Brabham a
"media hound!' Brabham averred that
most Texans were not rednecks and did
not hate gays. He said that persons who
held a like opinion to his simply did not
want to have a school-funded support
group for gays on campus.
Donahue then asked why this was not a
denial of civil rights of gays, to which
Brabham replied that it waa not a quee-tion
of civil ri8hta, but of achoo! privileaes
(an argument which was used this past
fall during the debate before the senate for
recognition). He 11aid he perceived a differ·
ence between allowing a black student
organization and a similarly constituted
gay group.
Cooper pointed out that both times
GLSSO had sought recognition. it had
received a unanimous recommendation
from the senate Organizations Commit·
tee, and that the group has the support of
the leaders of the Perkins School o£Theol·
ogy. Yet the fact that the Roman Catholic
Georgetown University had also recently
denied recogmtion to a gay support group
was brought forth, as well as the fact that
this decision of the university, when chal·
lenged in federal court, was upheld as the
right of a private institution to formulate
its own policies in dealing with such
issues.
In discussing the failure to take action
by the National Council of Churches on
the application for membership of MCC,
Donahue asked if it might not be true that
many churches would leave the National
Council if the MCC were allowed in, the
implication being that at SMU, al8o, some
students would either leave the school or
would not apply in the first place if a iiay
group were officially recognized on ram·
pus.
In agreeing, Rev. McCloud stated that
this was also why the Council had never
been able to take a unified stand on the
subject of abortion for reasons of wanting
to •peak with unity on policy is11ue8.
Donahue said he saw this attitude as
merely wanting to ensure against boat·
rocking, rather than v.rrestling with decid·
ing what a truly Christian stand would
entail. He asked if it were not reasonable
to ask the Council to speak honestly and
effectively to the needs of a membership of
Christians who are of a certain sexual
orientation, whirh is not really a Christian
moral question, and which is really
not anybody else's buNiness.
Rev. McCloud stated that MCC met all
the criteria for the white majority.
Rev. Perry then pointed out the inconsis·
tency of allowing non·Christian groups
>fficial recognition at SMU, when often
the argument against recognizing GLSSO
has been that it represents a lifestyle anti·
thetical to Christian precepts. Unfortu·
nately, admitted Brabham, there was
such a contradiction, but he offered
neither an explantion nor a justification
for it.
An audience member felt that perhaps
the major problem with the topic was a
fear of dealing with gays by the heterosex·
ual majority because of a lack of under·
standing on their part. But Brabham said
he felt no fear, only that he didn't want
something which he felt went against
Christian tl'aching to be officially recog·
nized at his school.
Rev. McCloud said he was of the opinion
that the mere existence of the Metropoli·
tan Community Churrh was the fault of
the mainline churches, since gay people
are seldom accepted into the congregations
of most churches once their sexual
orientation is out in the open. These gay
churchgoers then become isolated and
must find somewhere else to turn for their
spiritual fulfillment.
In another comment from the audience,
someone wanted to know just how many
student. at SMU were involved. saying
that the size of the minority being served
Willi an important factor in determining
whether the support group wa11 really
needed.
Cooper stated that there were 28 stu·
dents at the fil'llt meeting last spring, and
that the meetings have grown each time
since then. She then lamented the exam·
pies of harassment which followed some
of GLSSO members coming out publicly in
support of the group, and said these were
examples of invaaions of people'• integ·
rity.
• Brabham then aa.erted that neither he
nor the majority of students wanted such
harassment to take place. But Donahue
then asked how it was that such bigotry
and intolerance were to be fought unless
this anti-social behavior can be counterarted
by such an educational atmosphere
as should exist allowing for diversity, a
diversity which would include groups like
GI...'>SO. However. Brabham said he
believed that the high visibility of the
group on campus would lend to increa$ed,
not decreased, harassment and resent·
ment.
Another audience member said the
school was within its rights not to give a
"stamp of approval" to such a group,
while another said a prerequbite to beinii
a Christian was accepting that God did
not like sin, and that homosexuality was a
~in in His eyes.
Rev. Perry then statM that human sexu·
ality is morally neutral, that people who
exist in loving relationships were not sin·
ful in God's eyes, and that "Jesus died for
my self, not my sexuality."
A letter was read by Quincy Adams,
president-elect of the SMU Mustang Club,
wherein he was quoted as inviting those
gay students who are unhappy \l.ith con di·
lions at SMU to leave and find another
school to attend. He said he wanted to
send a "message to the world. If you are a
professor or a student and have this lifes·
tyle, then don't come here (to SMU)."
Brabham disagreed, saying he did not
want gay students thrown off the ram pus.
A caller pleaded with Cooper and her
supporters not to give up, though, sinc-e
the caller said he had graduated from a
small church-oriented school, was gay,
and that ''none of us (gays) knew who one
another were."
Rev Perry reiterated that once people
got to know homosexuals, they changed
their attitudes and forgot the stereotypes
they assumed were the norm among gay
people.
An audience member asked why gays
were so intent on fighting hard to prove
they were different from anybody else. But
Donahue said that "sounds real nice on
the Hallmark card, but the problem is that
Jews and gays and Irish have had
moments of societal presimre and negative
pressure directed at them," and that at
times measures needed to be taken to coun·
teract the negative pre. ~ure.
By the end of the program. when
Donahue took an informal pool of the
mostly blue-haired Indies who were in
attendance, the applause was about
evenly divided among those who thought
the group should be formally recognized
and those who did not.
Cooper ended by stating that, if recognized,
funding is then voted on separately,
that thr gorup was funded by members
and . upporters and was running short of
money, and that any money received from
the SMU student activity fund wold be
used for educational purposes such as ads,
literature and speakers for programs.
In discussing how her appearance on
the program came about, Cooper said
GI.SSO's executive board voted to send
her as the spokesperson. She said the
audient-e did not know what ,;ubject was to
be discussed in advance of their coming to
see the taping, and that their response was
surprisingly positive. considering the
makeup of those in attendance who were
pnmarily older women unused to thinking
about the issues brought up.
Cooper said the Donahue staff had
researched the subject very well and wert>
on top of the points which were brought up
tn the disc:ussion. She said she took the
pressure of the appearance on national television
in stride, and had gotten a lot of
help from her teachers, who allowed her to
rearrange her exam schedule in order to be
on the program. She said she was sorry
that the hour w&R not really enough time
to c:over all the important asprcts of the
issue, but claimed to be pleased at the
results and at the moral support she had
gotten from her friends, fellow students
and even the p<.'Ople involved in producing
the Donahue program, inrluding
Donahul' himself.
"They treated me like a queen," she
laughed.
Though no longer a co-chairperson of
GLSSO (Cooper and Rios turned over the
reigns a frw months back to Paul Palmer
and Miriam Blake), Cooper is still active
in hl'r fight to gain recognition forGLSSO
and promised that the is~ue would be
brought before the studl'nt senate yet
again this corning spring. With the close
16 to 15 vote in the fall , she claimed to be
more optimistic about the chanc-es for suc·
cell& thia time around. thou11h 8MU Preei·
dent L. Donald Shields has said that,
barring his receipt of information which
he does not have at this time, he would
probably be compelled to overturn the vote
for recognition if 1t passed.
At this point, Cooper agreed, only time
will tell.

Bartenders
Charged with
Serving Alcohol to
Publicly
Intoxicated
Persons
By Robert Hyde
Danny Lee Miller, 21, and RonaldRickow
30, both of Montrose and bartenders at
JR's, 808 Pacific, were arraigned in
County Criminal Court at Law No. 1
'.fhuraday, Jan. 19, and charged with servmg
alcohol to publically intoxicated persona
at the bar early Thursday morning,
Jan. 12.
Charges were brought by vice squad
officers A.J. Dorr (Badge No. 61096), C.J.
Clark (Badire No. 38019) and D. A. Atchetee
(Badge No. 39244) who said that Miller
and Rickow were observed serving drinks
to two customers of the bar
Roth Miller and Rickow pleaded non·
guilty in Judge Billy Hagan's court.
Judge Ragan, in a nontrial setting
moved the case to February 27. '
The defendant11' attorney, Jim Wells
said, "I am very confident that Judg~
Ragan will ensure the defendants a fair
and impartial trial on the facts of the
case."
Wells also mentioned that he is in the
process of obtaining sworn affidavits
from witnesses which "should be of interest
to concerned citizens regarding the
vice squad's behavior."
Channel 8 to Focus
on Gay Politics
University of Houston"s Channel 8 will
focus on "Gays in the Houston Political
Life" next Wednesday. Jan. 25, at 7:30
p.m., reported former GPC President Lee
Harrington, who has been asked to speak
for Houston's gay community.
Another individual will present an
opposing view on the "Houston Weekly'"
show. hut Channel 8's Hill Watts said that
that guest had yet to be scheduled .
"Programs such as this one provide crit·
ically needed educati<>nal opportunites for
the Houston non-gay community," Har·
rinirton stated. "I disairrce, for example,
with a statement Mayor Whitmire made in
Nene Foxhall's political column in the
Ho1U1ton Chronicle on Jan. 15. The Mayor,
in response to publicity she did not want
concerning a recent gay bar tour she made
to thank voters for electing her again,
said, 'I don't think it serves individuals in
the (gay) community well to receive a lot of
media attention.'
"If it had not been for continual, head·
line media attention to the major anti-gay
issue in the Eleanor Tinsley-Frank Mann
City Council race in 1979, we would not be
where we are today," Harrington noted.
"If anythmg, the gay issue needs more
exposure. and more public support by
elected officials. Hiding is not the answer.
Education, in this case by exposure to the
people and the issue, is the key to eliminat·
ing prejudice," he said.
How About
Legalizing Drugs?
Formt-r Suprem1· Court Justice Potter Stewart
says the idea of legalizing some
recreational drugs "has a certain appeal
to me," report11 American HeritaRe.
St!'wart, who was appointed by Presi·
dent Eis!'nhower in 1958 and retired two
years ago, says the sall' and use of drugs is
a serious social problem, and so long as it's
a criminal offense, he says, the business
will be in the hands of niminals.
Stewart also refust><l to blame judicial
leniency for the increasing crime rate. He
beli1>ves it's due to the fact that so few
people are brought to trial in the first
plac·e. Only one suspect in eight is caught.
he e11ys, 11dding that he'e not surpri~ed.

country.
Human Rights Campaign
Fund Sets Goal of $1 Million
The Human Rights Campaign Fund, a
national pro-gay civil rights political
action committee, wound up its 1983 fundraising
with events in Key West during
the last week of December.
The fund, now in its fourth year, has set
ll minimum $1 million war chest goal for
the 1984 elections.
The 1981-82 cycle raised more than
$609,000, and one 1983 activity, a dinner
in New York at which Jesse Jackson was
keynote speaker, netted some $30,000.
Vic Basile, executive director,
announced appointment of Shelia Kuehl
and Jack Newby as co-chairs for the Los
Angeles City Committee that began to
reach its goal with a $1,000 plate dinner on
Jan. 17.
A re<·eption in San Francisco is planned
for later in the month, as well as fund raisers
in Dallas and Houston.
o GRNL to Tackle
Anti-Gay Exclusion at
Immigration Hearings
The Gay Rights National Lobby (GRNL)
announced that congre11sional hearings
on immigration law reform are to be held
in early 19114, and lively debate is expected
in an effort to repeal the anti-gay exclusion
in the 1952 law barring any alien who
is "afflicted with a psychopathic personality,
sexual deviation or mental defect"
from entering the country.
GRNL Immigration Task Force Coordi·
nator Craig Howell, Legislative Aide Mike
Walsh and Executive Director Steve
Endean have worked closely with Rep.
Barney Frank (!).-Ma.) to insure the hear·
ing will take place, fulfilling a public
promise by Hep. Romano Mazzoli (D.·Ky.),
chair of the House Judiciary Subcommit·
tPe on Immigration.
Admitting that the current system of
excluded cntegorie11 embedded in the 1952
Immigration and Nationality Act is
indeed "outdated," Mazzoli pledged to
hearings on modernizing that section.
"Gay Rights National Lohby will continue
working r.loAely with Rep. R. Frank
and other congressional friends to help
organize favorable testimony for repeal of
the anti·gay exclusion during the upcom·
mg hearings," 11tated GRNL Deputy
Director, Jerry WPllcr.
o Gay Vote '84: Sexual
Orientation Not An
Issue in Democratic
Delegate Selection
For the first time in history, each state's
plan for electing delegates to the 1984
Democratic National Convention must
include specific language prohibiting dis·
crimination b8fled on sexual orientation,
said Tom Chorlton, executive director of
the National AsAociation of Gay and Lesbian
Democratic Clubs.
This is a direct result of several important
developments during the past four
vears the leader of the 110 gay political
associations said.
In 1980 the Le.sbian and Gay Caucus at
the New' York Democratic Convention
included 77 openly gay delegates, alter·
nates and committee members from 17
states. The Caucus was as large or larger
than the delegations from 25 states. As a
result, the gay rights were added to the
Democratic Platform and to the Democratic
Charter.
St'nator KennPdy, members of his stuff
and key officials in the Carter White
House met with the Caucus and courted its
support. More than 400 .dele~ates signed .a
petition plncing in nomination a ~ymbohc
openly gay vice-presidential candidate ..
In 19114, the rules are tougher, said
Chorlton, tht> candidates far more numer·
ous and thl' 1•lection proces~ shorter.
"It will take morn determination and
hard work than ever before in order to
match or rxceed the tremendous success of
four years ago," he said.
Now is the time to get directly involved,
said Chorlton. Not surprisingly, presiden·
tial candidates and party leaders support
those who have earned that support
through hard work and visibility.
"Don't expect to win a delegate seat if
you simply show up at the election," he
warned.
Above all, gay men and lesbians should
demand their rights. Articles 1 and IO of
the Democratic Charter guarantee gay
men and women "fully, timely and equal
opportunities to participate in decisions
concerning the selection of candidates, the
formulation of policy, and the conduct of
other party affairs .. ," it reads.
"If you encounter any discrimination
from your state or local party or from a
presidential campaign, plea11e notify the
National As11ociation immediately," he
said. "Many of the party leaders and state
executive directors are very supportive.
Start now and build a long·term, working
relationship with them."
All participants should be aware of several
basic requirements and guarantees
included in each state's plan for delegate
selection. No state may charge a fee to
participate in this proce11s or to run as a
delegatP. l':ach state must ah;o help low
and moderate income individuals to
defray expenses related to attending the
National Convention if they are elected as
delegates or alternates. At the same time,
participation in the procet;s is restricted to
those who declare their Democratic party
preference (either through prior registration,
where applicable, or through a statement
of support at the start of the process),
and those who havf' not taken part in the
election of delegates for any other party in
1984.
ln addition to delegates and alternates,
ench stat<> will also select mt>mbers for
each of th1• three convention committees:
Rules. Platform and Credentials.
"The11e committeeR are especially impor·
tant to the lesbian and gay community,"
said Chorlton, "since the 1984 platform
and important change~ in the Democratic
Party Charter will be largely decided prior
to the convention in smaller groups.
"Active participation, careful planni~g
and hard work are the keys to success m
1984. This is the year to demonstrate co~clu11ively
that the gay rights movement 1s
indeed nationwide.
"When the Democratic National Con·
vention opens in San Francisco next
July," he continued, "the Les~ian and
Gay Caucus at that convention mu~t
reflect both our diversity and our determ1·
nation to participate fully in the American
political process. The door is open. Now
it's up to us."

national association at 1742 Massachu·

Junk Queen of
Peking
Enjoys Trash
They call her "the Junk Queen of Peking,"
reports the Washington Post. She's 43·
year-old Sun You·Zhi, whose motto is "It's
glorious work to collect junk for social·
iem."
Every month she brings in 60 tons of
garbage-anything from used bottle caps
to raggedy sneakers-for recycling. Cast·
off meat boneR from restaurants are
turned into glue. Human hai,· from barber
shops becomes medicine, and empty tooth·
paste tubes are transformed into sheets of
steel.
Her only problem i11 sorting out old
newspapers. The Peking Daily is no problem:
it can be sold to department stores as
wrapping paper. But the government says
foreign newspapers are too sen8itive for
re-use. They have to be sent to a pulp mill
for reprocessing.

Why the Ruckus at
City Council?
From Steue Cuniberti
I was surprised to find that the Mayor's
moi;t recent tour of the gay bars in her
constituency caused such a ruckus. After
all of the previous electioneering, why
would there even be a raised eyebrow? But,
as I saw on the tPlevision news this even·
ing (Jan. 19), there were not only raised
eyebrows, but also raised voices.
Although ignoring the heightened
police activities at gay bar!' subsequent to
the mayoral tour, the newscast took a
broad view oft he hoopla. giving equal coverage
to someone's energetic- denunciation
of a council that Jet their mayor become a
"barmaid," and to Ray Hill, Gay Acti·
vist's unbclieveable assertion that the
mavor·s bar tour was not motivated by her
interest in gay votes.
The next itPm in the newsca~t concerned
the poNsihle civil right11 violations inherent
in a Houston area singles apartment
complex management's decision to prohibit
clothing at their now-declared-nude
swimming facilities.
I do not pretend to know what Mayor
Whitmire told Ray Hill, Gay Activist, but
what hhe told me and everyone else who
greeted her warmly at the Brazos River
Bottom was that she was there to thank us
for helping her and the councilmembers
that she brought with her win a hard·
fought campaign. To me that SJ>('lls
VOTES.
The newscast mentioned that the Mayor
did not intend to let the current outcry
deter her from future bar tours if she felt
that they would be useful, and for that I
am glad. Why shouldn't a politician go to a
church function to secure the black baptist
vote? And why not to bars to get the gay
vote? That is where the gay voters are.
Musicians Miss
Playing in
the Band
From former members of the Montrose
Symphonic Band (G. Micharl Blizzard,
Boyce Erwin a l kl a BerniC'e Bone,
Bobby Heeney, Bill Huff alkla Beulah
Bone, Datm Keith, G. Dauid Vogelaar
al k/ a BPtty Lou Bone, and others who
u·ish to rl'main nameless.)
We would appreciate the opportunity to
express our views concerning an organize·
tion which has, in its hiRtory, lw·en a
source of pride to our community and a
great example o0f a successful gay com·
munity organization.
,Just over three years ago, the Montrose
Symphonic Band was ... "an ad hoc a~al·
gam of prrson11liti.es and past musical
exp!'rience." Drawing on the energetic
support of a core .group of members and
director Andy Mills, the group almost
built itself into what we felt was the finest
gay instrumental group in t~ec?untry ... .
The community responded in kind, rally·
ing with support both emotior:ial and
financial, which fueled our creative fires
even further ..
With thiA new-found prestige and re.pu·
tation however, came a corresponding
incre~e in the responRibility of the band
to its community and to itself. We disco·
vered that in order to consistently improve
and do "more" for our audience8, w~ ha~ to
do muC'h more in the way o! orgamzatto!1
and preparation, both musical and adm1·
nistrative ....
Financial accountability, program
development, fundraising, promo~ion.-all
were areas in great need of attention 1f the
band was to fulfill the dreams some of us
had of touring the country with our music
and our energy, and we were a.ware ~hat no
one individual could accomphsh this task.
As much as we hoped, though, that this
one organization could avoid the pitfalls
that so often plague successful groups of
thie type, the MontroAe.Sy~phor:iic Band,
for the first time since its inception three
yeara ago, began to. see power struggle&,
idea camps and factionalism. The delega·
tion of the increuing work load waa not
Letters
viewed as a necessary and desirable out·
growth of success, but as a threat to the
eixsting power structure.
Many members did not go easily, but
over the last year (and especially since the
last Gay Pride Parade), the band has lost
many of its founding members and fine
musicians-one way of expressing this
loss is as a combined playing experience of
hundreds of yearA ....
(W)e miss the friendship and cornered·
erie which was the biggest aRset of the
Montrose Symphonic Band. We mifis the
pride of maintaining a truly community
organization-even in the face of reports
from across the nation that a group of this
kind could not function without a political
hoard. We mies playing.
Reader Dissatisfied
with Gay Leaders
Supporting Police
From SteL·e Keller
Twice in two months the Houston police
have moved on Wei;theimer to victimize
gay youth and men engaged in street
trade, as u•ell as continuing arrests in the
bookstores. As inexcusable as it is for the
police to attack us for choosing to exercise
our gay sexuality, it is predictable oppre~·
sion. What is unforgiveable, however, is
the up front sanction, support and approval
of the leaders of the gay and Montrose
area communitiefi: Ray Hill, George Grea
niafi and I..arrv Bagneris.
Shame, sha.me on all of you 'for your
dastardly complicity with our enemies!
Have you all taken leave of your senReb
and gay sensibility? Or have you so sold
out lo a conservative political eBtablishment
that you hunger to be accepted by
that it has caused you to abandon the
needs and concerns of certain parts of the
gay <'<Immunity you diolike?
Where is Ray Hill and the GPC's program
to help homeless gay throwaway
youth who come to Montrose? His answer
is the HPD. This is clearly a class issue, for
their support of anti·gay police repression
on W e11theimer is at the cost of the
powerless-street boys and customers. Its
benefit is for the powerful-the GPC and
the Montrose money-changers associa·
tions and thl'ir needs for straightidentified
respectability and conformity
at our expense.
In fact, the latter pre~sure for
"straight"·iacket conformity and
straight-identified sexual attitudes seems
to be the meaning of the GPC's constant
h11rping on "unity" being forced upon us.
In the pages of the MONTROSE VOICE
over the months, it has been revealed and
reiterated that unity means a suppreBsion
of critic-ism in the face of GPC errors. It is
at the point now of this disgraceful and
absurd display of GPC leaders, instead of
religious fundamentalists, taking the van·
guard of those trying to sic the vice oops on
us.
Frankly, I feel bereft of any sen"e of
protection against the ~lice by t~e lea~
ere of the gay community. I write thlb
today impelled by the need to break this
conspiracy of complicity and silence ~nd
driven by the anger of my confrontation
with the news last night (Sunday) about
midnight of the entrapment and arre,;t of
men in a gay bookstore on Alabama. Who
will defend them?
If I have to do this alone, I, for one,
protest thi11 police aggression directed at
gay men and condemn it and demand th~t
the police get the hell out of Montrose 1f
they cannot leave us alone. I further name
Messrs. Hill, Greanias and Bagneris for
their guilt in this crime against us and
demand they desist.
I believe the gay community is far more
progressive and deserving of better leader·
ship and a better organization than we
have in Houston, For all of our effort.>, we
de11erve more than a bar tour and police
entrapment. which seems to be the substance
of Mayor Whitmire's pitiful program
of pro-gay accomplishments for the
year.

14 MONTROSE VOICE I JAN. 20, 1984
Montrose People ... and Others
By Billie Duncan
Sometimes you sit and wonder, "Whatever
happened to so-and-so." And the next
thing you know, that person pops up
where you least expect him.
Anyway, that's what happened this
past week to me. I was wondering where in
heaven (or elsewhere) that Peaches, who
used to do the wonderful shows at Just
Marion & Lynn's, had gotton himselfoff
to.
I made a phone call to find out more
about some little bar over at 50 Waugh
Drive that I had not been to and what to
my wondering ears should appear, but
Peaches! It seems that he is preparing to
open the bar for real, probably next week.
It has the dubious title right now of"the
Memorial Park Motel Bar," but
Peaches says that that will change. Soon
the bar will be properly titled as the Shadey
Tree Club. Peaches says that they
will be doing shows as soon as they can.
Right now, there is a restaurant open
and anyone can drop by the bar with hU:
own bottle and visit Peaches. It's only a
matter of time before the place is in full
swing.
In half·swing last week wru; the MSA
benefit show at the Copa. It's not that the
show was lousy, but that the crowd was
sparse. People just do not seem to be get·
ting out for the benefits anymore-or perhaps
people just didn't know it was taking
place. Because the crowd was small, at
least one of the entertainers seemed to feel
that his time was being wasted.
Now, I know that entertainers in this
neighborhood (and every neighborhood)
are constantly called upon to donate their
talents for these shows. Sponsors will
spend money on any number of things and
never expect to get them for free but will
automatically 886Ume that perlormers
will give away their time and energy at the
drop of a aequin.
'.fhis attitude can be a bit galling, but,
still and all, once a person who is supposedly
a professional has committed
himself to do a show, he should have the
grace to do it with all his heart. And he
would not keep aaying over the microphone,
"Come on. let's get this show over. I
want to go home."
To the credit of most of the Copa per·
formers, the show was basically a charm·
ing and well-done effort. One very
touching moment came during a number
by K lchelle Michaels when the two men
in white face on either side of the stage
(Ken Lambdin and Pat Vachon) came
together and exchanged balloons.
Naomi Sims was super, as usual, W1th
terrific back-up dancing by Mark
Leighton, Wayne Romano (who put the
whole show together), Bill Sanders and
David Bennett. Mark stepped in at the
last minute to replace Frank McP eters,
who, for some unknown reason, did not
show up.
Also last week at the Copa. Pamala
Stanley did what was described as a
"high-energy show" on Friday. People
came to see that one. This coming Sunday,
Jimmy James will do his last show. I
haven't gotten to see him yet, but everyone
that I've talked to who has seen him says
that the show is great.
You know what's great besides shows?
Love.
And love is what was celebrated at Al's
on Wednesday night. George Nusekabel
and David Lyons had their
twelfth anniversry party there. It was a
hoot and a half. The tone was set by the
huge banner over the bar that proclaimed,
"Congratulations to the (K)ween Mother
and her great (K)night."
The flavor of Al's was somewhat trans·
formed by the presence of pink fru-fru
bows attached to the camouflage netting
that adorns the ceiling. David and George
were both sporting red rose corsages, and
David further compromised his leather
garb by attaching a wonderful lace wedding
veil (I suppose) to his motorcycle cap.
They met in Ohio while doing sit-ups in
a health apa. "Just a normal health club
for normal people," said George. They've
been going up and down ever since.
Don Bye, who bartends at the
Venture-N, gave them a bouquet made
up of 12 one-foot rulers. Well, you know
what 12times12 is, don'tyou?That's 144.
which is a gross. I guess you could say that
he gave the happy couple a gross bouquet.
Either that, or he was wishing them many
more inches to come.
Since Miss Charlotte's is right next
door, I stopped over there only to receive
some bad news. Jimmy Peters of the
Juke Box Band was killed in a car crash
while returning from a gig in Killeen.
Now that other members of the band
who were injured are out of the hospital,
they have decided to keep op going.
They've hired Jerry Nail as a singer, and
Jerry Vann says that he will book the
band as soon as he has an opening.
Coming up next month at Charlotte's is
a thing called PriuateLiues for Public People,
which v.ill be a performance of Diversity
Theatre's hit show, Prfrate Liues. lt
will be done as a fundraiser for Anne
Wheeler. That will be on Feb. 23.
Bottoms up 84 keeps drawing the Mont·
rose crowd out to the Windmill Dinner
Theatre, but a lot of the cast keeps com·
ing to Montrose to party. That11eemslikea
fair exchange.
1..ast week I neglected to mention one of
the numbers thatl really love in the show
It is the Breck Wall/David Harris bit in
which they mime to recordR while holding
up props that give the songs entirely new
meanings. For example, miming "We Can
Work It Out" while holding up a box of
Ex-Lax. Very funny.

Liqueurs Becoming

Many New Year's Eve tipplers will be welcoming
1984 with a new beverage-the
cordial. reports USA Today.
The market for liqueurs has never been
sweeter, with Americans imbibing drinks
tasting like everything from melons to
hazelnuts. The cause: a generation raised
on milkshakes and soft drinks.
Says one distiller; "People don't really
like the taste of alcohol, just the effect.
And liqueurs go down easy."

Sob1118ki, wlw mfatuatwn for each other is auerted by the German invasion of
Poland m 1939 m Mel Brooks' "To Be or Not to Be"
Mel Brooks' New Comedy is
Masterpiece of Restraint
By Steve Warren
Via Gay Presa AallOCiation Wire Service
Compared to Mel Brooks' last exercise,
History of the World-Part One, his new
To Be or Not to Be is a masterpiece of
. restraint. Brooks has wisely not tried to do
everything himself this time. He's hired
debuting director Alan Johnson to direct
and allowed two screenwriters to adapt
the 1942 Ernst Lubitsch comedy which
starred Jack Benny and Carole Lombard,
to fit the talents of Mr. & Mrs. BrooksMel
and (Anne Bancroft).
Mr. Brooks plays Frederick Bronski, the
egotistical star ("He's world famous-in
Poland") and director of a Polish theatre
company. Their material, onstage and off,
is old and obvious enough to make Sugar
Babies look fresh and subtle.
Mra. Brooke playa Anna. his wife and
co-star. They fight, but they love each
other-although she is tempted by hand·
some young airman Tim Matheson, who
makes an excellent straight man (you
should pardon the exprei;sion ).
Did I mention that Hitler has just
invaded Poland? The Bronskis say they
don't care about politics, but they're really
good Poles at heart; besides; a city in rubble
and a decimated population are bad for
business .
So of course the troupe gets pulled in the
fray, with Frederick imper~onating a
number of noted Nazis; and suspense min·
glee with laughs all the way to the Sound
of Music ending.
Frederick creates an instant clich6
when he says, "Without Jews, fags and
gypsies there ia no theatre." To Be or Not
to Be is light on gypsies but has a major
fag in James Haake as Sasha, Anna'•
dresser. This flaming stereotype is presumably
justified when he's made to wear
a pink triangle ("I hate it-it clashes with
everything!"). 'Thus he becomes sympa·
thetic, as well as consciousness raising,
while he's still funny ("I've got a late
date-with another pink triangle.").
I could have done without him and his
audition for the road company of La Cage
aux Foiles, but otherwise I enjoyed To Be
or Not to BP.
1983's Best(and Worst) Movies
By Steve Warren
The year started dismally, but by late
spring a combination of summer fun spectaculars
and "art films" had brought back
the joy of moviegoing. Since then there·~
been a fairly steady stream of decent
entertainment; and if the year-end
releases failed to live up to their own hype,
most of them exceeded my limited expecta·
tions.
The best picture of the year was made by
an Australian working in America for the
first time, who seemed to know more about
thiR country and its people than those of us
who have livf'd here all our !iv~. (Note
that two of the top three were filmed in
Texas, which may indicate a healthy
trend toward coming here to make good
movies.)
