ville, Tennessee, June 20.
Gay Switchboard
celebrating first
Pride Week
The Gay Switchboard of Houston is there
to inform. And listen. And counsel.
Begun only last December, it's rapidly
becoming the source for the gay community
to get facts, referrals and a friendly
ear. And, the switchboard takes pride in
being " in the know." People are calling
(713) 529.:1211 to fi nd out the symptoms of
herJ)("s, the topic of the next Gay Political
Caucus (GPC) educational forum, what to
expect if arrested, or even which bars have
the cheapest happy hour drinks. The
range of questions is limitless.
Thirty-two trained volunteers staff the
switchboard seven days a week from 6:00
p.m. to midnight. Phones are answered,
sure. But there's a lot of legwork involved
in keeping up with Houston 's gay commu·
ni ty. Countless hours a respentcontacting
organi za tions and gay E't; ta blishments to
make sure information that's given out
over the phone is current.
"On any given night, there are at least
six to eight gay events going on in Houston,"
said Rich Neil, director of the switchboard.
"These are events that people
might not find out about elsewhere."
Anyone can just answer a telephone.
But, it takes a trained switchboard volunteer
to "be there"for a caller. Someone who
knows when to speak and when it's better
just to Jisten. It also takes someone who
understands what it's like to just come out,
lose a lover or get a sexually transmitted
disease.
People call the switchboard, Neil said,
because "we don't hassle the individual
like a parent or friend might. We try to be
objective."
To be a switchboard volunteer means
investing 30 hours of time in intensive
train ing. Volunteers learn accepted
hotline practices, counseling and listening
skills, which they use during their
three hours each week staffing the switchboard
phones.
Neil said volunteers are taught noncommittal
responses, mirroring, paraphrasing
and other counseling techniques.
Volunteers learn to avoid asking "why"
questions; ra ther, they learn to concentrate
on the caller's feelings.
"We try to help the caller make his or her
own decisions. We're not therapists, but
we can let the ra11ers solve their own problems
by helping them to see things more
clearly," he said .
Most of the time, Neil said, callers
already have a prob]em solved, they may
need only a sounding board.
Founder of Houston's switchboard, Neil
also helped form the Gay Switchboard of
Philadelphia and worked with the organization
for 10 years. Because of his back·
ground, he can help Houston's volunteers
deal with the legitimate, as well as the
manipulative, threatening and crank
<'alls that sometimes come in.
Even though volunteers are trained to
respond to a wide variety of caUs, they also
a re trained to be aware of their own
limitations.
"We have to know when a counseling
call is beyond us, and the caller needs to be
referred to a professional," he said.
After informationa l and counseling telephone
calls, re ferrals a re the third most
freq uent type of call handled by the
switchboard. A caller might request the
JUNE 18, 1982 I MONTROSE VOICE 3
name of a doctor, lawyer, dentist, accountant,
or other professional. For these calls,
the switchboard keeps an activelistofprofessionals
who either are gay themselves,
or understand the gay lifestyle.
"Often it is very important to have a
doctor or lawyer who understands your
lifestyle," he said.
While the switchboard is in close touch
with the gay community, it also keeps tabs
on other social services available in this
area.
"We deal with gay people who have
problems-and these problems don't
necessarily have to be gay related, "he
said.
Montrose man
dead after
scuffle with
neighbor
William John Hall, 50, of 1504 California,
was shot and killed during a scuffle with a
neighbor, Tuesday, June 15, reports the
Houston Post.
Investigators said they had no motive
for the killing. A neighbor was in custody.
Police said the neighbor told them he emptied
a .22·caliber revolver into Hall after
knocking him down.
Homicide division Detective D.L. Moorman
said investigators did not know why
Hall was in the man's apartment or why
the fight started.

The bill forbids revelation of the readers of
any books unless the book borrowers consent
or a court orders disclosure in connection
with a specific crime.
The bill has special relevance to gay people
because repressive organizations had
started a campaign to identify people who
use library books that present a positive
view of homosexuality or who use other
books offensive to them.
The bill was supported by the Michigan
Organization of Human Rights as well as
the State Board of Education and the
Michigan Library Association.
The Michigan Education Association
has said, "The right to avail oneself freely

The bill now awaits action before the
Senate Committee on Education.

On June 6. members of the National Organization
of Women (NOW) marched with
other organizations to the steps of the
Oklahoma Capital Building in Oklahoma
City.
The demonstrators hoped the rally
would pres.'lure Gov. Nigh to call a special
legislative Setision to consider ratification
of the Equal Rights Amendment. The
deadline for ratification is June 30 of this
year
Linda Lavin of TV's Alice was a featured

Three additional rallies were held in the
capitals of the "unratified" states of North
Carolina. Florida and Illinois. An estimated
11,000 attended the Oklahoma
rally , 10,000 in l'iorth Carolina. and 8,000
in Florida. Florida's rally was the largest
political rally ever to be staged in Tallahasee,
the state capital.
Judy Goldsmith, vice president of NOW
said, "There will be a time when the opposition
will regret having made us work so
hard and learn so much."
A national "call in sick to work" day has
been scheduled by feminists for July I. A
similar event caJled "Alice Doesn't", short
for "Alice doesn't work here anymore,"
was staged a few years ago.

pursues gay
customers,
sort of
International Gay Newe Agency
Increasingly, major advertisers are trying
to woo an attractive segment of the consumer
population-the white, single, well·
educated, well-paid homosexual.
According to Karen Stabiner of The
New York Times, tht:se advertisers are
using two distant approaches, one
through ads in identifiably gay-oriented
publications, and the other through "gay
window" ads in the general media, the lat·
ter meaning ads that are subtly pitched to
gay men.
Those who make their living seeking
recognition and acceptance for gays
regard economic in-runs as the first step
toward social integration, and cite the
parallel assimilation of middle-class
blacks and single working women.
Others, mindful of black unemployment
and women's uphill fight for the ERA, are
more skeptical, because profit, not integra·
tion, is the goal.
. Advertisers are trying to interest potential
customers who are gay without at the
same time losing customers who do not
wish to be identified with a "gay product."
The main approach at present is to
speak to the homosexual customer in a
way that the non-gay consumer won't
notice.
Calvin Klein's jeans ads are often mentioned
as examples of mainstream messages
aimed at gay men. One billboad for
men's jeans featured a young, shirtless
blond man lying on his stomach. Another
showed o young, shirtless blond man
lying on his side.
"You have to be comatose not to realize
that it appeals to gay men," says Peter
Frisch, publisher of The Advocate. a
national gay tabloid.
Paco Tabanne men's cologne, Pour
Homme, is another product that comes up
in discussions of "gay window" ads, pri·
marily because of a magazine ad that
showed a man lying in a rumpled bed talk·
ing on the telephone to someone the dialogue
portrayed as a just-departed male
lover.
Both C. Michael New brand, the account
executive, and the creative director of the
advertising account at Ogilvy and
Mather, an advertising agency, deny any
conscious effort to reach a gay market. But
Newbrand knows that "prestige fragran·
ces" sell best in urban areas. He is also
aware that "gays represent a good
market."
"If we have a high percentage of gays
using the product," says Newbrand, "we
certainly don't mind."
Gay people have mixed opinions about
being wooed by Madison Avenue. Stuart
Byron, a former New York Village Voice
film columnist, believes that what may
seem to be an attrative image is merely
another incomplete stereotype that will in
the end do more damage that good.
For all the talk of economic overtures to
the gay market, advertisers have not yet
constructed anything vaguely similar to
the ads that show single women, blacks, or
ethnic characters selling everything from
Italian food to cameras.
No television commercial has shown
two childless, attractive men as they
brush their teeth side by side at double
sinks or discuss the aroma of their morn·
ing coffee
The homosexual still remains a highly
invisible minority in national advertising.
Moi;it providPrs of goods and services still
choose to dt>ny their interest in the market
or evade the issut• altogether.

Wouldn't you

Federal government plans to evacuate
American citi('i; in case of a nuclear war
are completely unrealistic, according to a
sociologist who studied the reaction of
local residents to the Mount St. Helens

Behat'lor Today reports that Dr. Robert

Warning: fundamentalist religions may

A Purdue University study says those
who profess the strongest faith in God
have the least faith in preventive
medicine.
Paul Femea surveyed 1500 born·again
Christians and found they're Jess likely
than any other religious group to have a
family doctor, visit a dentist regularly or
buy health insurance.
Splitting hairs
with the IRS
The Internal Revenue Service has combed
its complex regulations to style at least
one hair.raising tax deduction. From now
on, hair transplants are deductible as a
medical expense, reports the Los Angeles
Times.
The tax men also came to the aid of those
with too much hair, clippmg rules that bar
deductions for rlectrolysis treatments.
But don't think the IRS is going soft. It
has no plans to change the rules denying
dedurtions for tatoos, pierced ears or
pierced anything else '
Alcohol notions

Pacifit' Nt-w• S('rvlce
A new study soys young people feel the
effe<'t.s of booze before they ever take their
first drink.
A Wayne Statt> University survey of
adolescents show those who've consumed
little or no alcohol in their lives already
bt·li('ve liquor will r(•dure tenAion, improvf
their soetal Jives and make them sexy.
The rt-,sear(·hf•rs say kids pick up those
ideas from TV, and by thfl timE· they're old

'Juneteenth' VI as
the day black
Texans got word
of the
Emancipation
Proclamation
The Emancipation Proclamation didn't
reach Texas until June 19, 1865. after President
Lincoln wa~ assassinated. General
Gordon Granger read this document to the
people in Galveston.
The reading of this proclamation was
the fir!:it time that the black slaveis got a
foretaste of freedom in Texas and it was a
prelude to ajubilistic age that has become
something special to most black Texans.
Since that time, June 19.1865,has become
known as Juneteenth.
The Emancipation Proclamation
became law by the 13th A1l1endment to the
U.S. Constitution on December 18, 1865,
but by that time black Texans had already
adopted June 19 as their special day of
celebration. Open violence in the north
greeted the proclamation and the Ku Klux
Klan raised the spectre of racism and
hatred against the black American.
"Black Texans have much to celebrate
on June 19, a celebration that all Texans
can share. We must continue to let the
world know that Juneteenth will always
be a rallying cry for all black Texans,"
said Jerel Shaw, a member of Black and
White Men Together, a mixed racial group
of gay males.

Nancy Kissing(
aquitted
A judge acquitted Nancy Kissinger
assault charge8 Friday, June 11, report
UPI.
Municipal Court Judge Julio Fuente1 ,
Newark, N.J . declared that the wife of the
former Secretary of State displayed a
"tmmewhat human reaction to an offen·
sive question" when she scuffled with a
woman at an airport.
Mrs. Kissinger was accused of grabbing
pro·nuclear activist Ellen Kaplan around
the neck at Newark International Airport
Feb. 7 as the Kissingers prepared to fly to
Boston, where Mr. Kissinger later under·
went open heart surgery.
Mrs. Kissinger testified she took her by
the neck and pinched her after Kaplan
asked her husband, "Is it true that you
sleep with young boys at the Carlyle Hotel
(New York)?" She further testified that
Kaplan asked if she was sleeping with the
bodyguards, "She asked me, 'ls the tall
one servicing you?'"
Kaplan said she felt an injus tice was
done. She was quited, "It's a First Amend·
ment right to ask a question. It's not a
First Amendment right to get choked."
Gay Christians
held national
conference
Delegates from 15 national gay Christian
groups met in June in Washington D.C.
for the first "American Conference of
Lesbian 1Gay Christians." The coalition
pledged them~elves to racial and gender
parity and issued rebukes to anti·gay
denominational officials.
"Justic·t>" was the theme often repeated
throughout the conference. Members went
on record opposing nnti·semitism as well
aK urging gay support for "a freeze .;tnd
reduction of a ll nuclear weapons and the
trnnsfn of funds from military budgets to
human needs."
The ronferenc·(• strongly supports Uni

Symptoms of
Kaposi's
sa rcoma listed
Kaposi's sartoma has indeed given the
gay community a concern about their own
health and well being. Here again are
some of the symptoms that have been
noted to aCC'ompany this disease.
According to the National Cancer Insti·
tute, HymptomH may include "vague com
plaints of weight loss, lymph node
swelling, fever and purpulish spot8 or
aomE'times lumps a~.ywhere on the skin or
mu(·us memhranl's
•--fhest• ahnormal patches of skin are not
confint"<l to the l•xtn·n'tities and frequently
show up in the head and ne(.'k area. Thf
d1seaRt' may be particularly aggressive
and caust> death by its rapid spread to
int~rnal .ori.:ans (often to parts of the gas·
tromteshnal tract. such as the mouth. eso·
p~agus and <·olon), or it may be associated
with one or more lethal infections."
"Experts are concerned that while
o?vious .skin lumps probably assist in a
d1agnos~s of Kaposi's sarcoma, the rarity
of the disease combined with its resemb·
lance to bruise& or even simple skin irrito·
h~ns m early stages may cause it to be
~1staken for oth<·r, less threatening, skin
disorders."
If you have any of these symptoms or
do.ubta concerning your health, the best
thmg to do is to Rl-ek prompt medical
attention.

MSA All-Stars say they're ready for Firefighters
By Billie Duncan
The MSA is packing action in jumbo con·
tain<·rs this weekend with the hottest
athletic tug-of.war possible being the Saturday
softball battle between the MSA
8oftball League All-Stars and the Houston
Firefighters.
MSA hopE's to light some fires that the
HFD cannot out out.
The teams will start having a ball at
4:00 p.m. with the South Division All-stars
being the first reps of MSA. The team
includes power hitters Ken Johnson
(A&K}and Don Kessler(Galleon), who will
also be manning the outfield.
Another strong bat from the ranks of the
outfield will be Ross Gore (Galleon) who
has bet·n hitting over .500 this season
MONTROSE
ShortRtop Arthur Castillo (Galleon) hes
also maintained a batting average that
topped .f>OO.
Batting only helps if there is a good iob
done when the other guys are up, however,
and the rest of t he team looks like the kind
of people who work well with fe llow play·
ers, a quality that is essential for an n ll star
line-up.
The MSA All·Stars in the North Iliv1
sion have E:IOme incredible hitters. includ·
ing the awesome power of Don David~;on
CSallv's) and Mario Marchena (Sally's).
Wayfw Rom<·ro (Mining Co.) and Jes~e
Yo~ng (Sally's) are no slouchei,; in the hitting
category either
As fer as that goett the team includes

and Ken Bailey (Sally's).
Pitcher )11ike Gonzales (Sally's) should
be counted on to keep the Firefighters off
base as much as possible. The rest of the
team are consistent, supportive and very
talented people.
The match f(>aturing the North Division
All-Stars will begin at 5: 15pm.
After th(> fun and fury of those two
games, theMSA Women'sSoftballLeague
will show their stuff starting at 6:30pm.
The list of WSL All-Stars was unavailable
at press time, but they were chosen in a
different manner than the MSA Softball
League.
Each team chose its best players, rather
than the entire League voting on an entire
line-up. Should be interesting. Like, what
would happen if every team picked a
shortstop?
Well, that question win be answered on
Saturday and the results should be good
fun and, hopefully, good softball.
• Number one tennis
challenge Friday night
The last day to challenge for a position
on the MSA Tennis League's Texas Chai·
lenge Cup team is this Saturday, June 19.
With that in mind, Rich Ryan has challenged
U>p-seeded Fred Lopez.
The match is set for Friday (!<>night),
June 18 at 7:30 p.m. This should be the
moAt ext'iting pre-tournament match
played thuA far. in a season that has seen
some real smaRhers.
Rich Ryen has been ins isting that h('
can topple Lopez, but Fred likes that top
spot and he is not going to want to give it
up.
For those who have been wondering just
how good the MSA wnnis players are, this
would be an excellent opportumty to find
out. Those a ttending the match will be
asked to donate $1 to the trophy fund (and
if Rich Corder can swing it, they may get
something tangible for their support).
The post-game celebration wil be at the
Galleon.
Whof"ver wmA this one will bf" in a real
preAsure situation on the 26th when the
Texas Challengf" Cup Tournament is
played here in Houston. As Rich Corder
put it, "I think our number one is bt-ttt>r

ton paired up with people from Galveston.
San Antonio and other Texas cities.
Thei:;e matches will take place at the

• A couple of streaks, a
stomp and a squeal
Praise the Lord and pass the cleats!
That little old team with the big surprises
has a winning streak going.
The team is The Barn, of course. and
they now have made it three in a row v.-'ith
a decisive victory over Brazos River Bottom,
17·6.
The wholf" team looked good, but a COU·
pie of the guys looked great. Mark Hall
apparently decided not to go up to bat
without getting on base a nd wound up 4
for 4 on the day.
And super-hitter BiJI Schmidt sent two
balls to homerun heaven for his fifth and
sixth homer!j of the season.
The other winning streak that continued
last week is a little bit longer_ Dirty
Sally's stretched it to 10 in a row to clinch
thf" first place in the North Division.
Mario Marchena. an unbelievably good
player, had an unbelievably good day. He
was 3 for 3, and that included his sixth

homerun of the season.
Poor old Briar Patch had a rough day
last Sunday when they faced a determined
Jim's Gym team. The Gym wrecked the
Patch to the tune of 16-5.
David Brown of Jim's Gym went home
smiling with a 5 for 5 day and Mike Scoggins
walked off with happy feet after
being 4 for 5.
Jim's Gym is only one game out of first
place with a team that is improving. The
first place Galleon might be in for some
stormy weather.
The GaUeon did not exactly sail over the
Montrose Voice last week, although they
did win, 13-11.
If Barry Pirkey or Bill Fike had not
shown up to play last week, things may
have been different. But they did, and history
is history.
Barry and Bill each had two homeruns.
And that kind of thing is hard to beat.
According to Jerry DeSale, t.he Voice
players said after the game that if they
could have kept the baU in the park, they
might have won the game.
• Monday bowlers to
play for position
Soon the incredibly tight stadings of the
MSA Monday Night Bowling League may
loosen up a bit. They wiJI be playing for
position, with the top teams pitted against
one another in order to get a better spread.
In the meantime, the top teams continue
to be efficiency-apartment·complex close.
In Division A, the Barnyard Hoers got a
bit of breathing room when they were the
winningest team in the top four. Daddy's
Jost four, Eurotan International lost four,
and the 69ers lost three. So, now those
three teams are still close to one another.
Breathing up their necks are three
teams who are tied as far as games won for
the fifth place in Division A: Gutter Trash,
Lowest Lane and Tammany Haul.
In Division B, only 71 pins separate the
number one Bushwackers and the number
two E/ J's Protein Suppliments.
Division C continues to be a free.for-all
with the top four teams within two and a
half games of each other.
Division D saw some shifting as Next·T·
Last dropped out of the top four by losing
all four to Boozers Too. Gator-Aid slipped
down after losing one to Busy Bees, and
Happy Trails maintained top spot.
The team thathad the mostexcitment in
Division D was Galleon One, however.
Chimps 'talk'
their way out of
medical
experiment
Two chimpanzees who've learned to communicate
via sign language have put their
skills to good use, reports the New York
Times.
According to a Humane Society spokesman,
the chimps used sign language to tell
They not only won all four to move up to
the number two spot, but they set a couple
of Division D summer records. They had a
record high team series with 3141 and a
record high gnme with 1094.
Rich Corder of Galleon One had a high
series of 577 and a high game of 220.
Teammate Rich Ryan (a top-ranked tennis
player) bowled a respectable 211.
• High Rollers continue
on Thursday
June 3 saw seven bowlers on Thursday
with 200 games. On June 10, there were
six, including three of the top pin-poppers
of the previous week.
Ray Hubbard not only had the high
game, but he managed to come up with
two 200 games all on his own (224, 201).
Also rolling along with two 200 games was
Bob Akins (204, 200) who had two 200
games plus the high game last week (235).
Bob's Tropical Fruit teammate, Steve
McConaughy, who had three 200's last
week, popped 205 pins in one game this
week. The efforts of the whole team were
enough to move Just Marion & Lynn's
Tropical Fruit to the number three spot in
the standings.
Kindred Spirits' Aces High (not Leather
& Lace, as reported last week) have moved
to the number one spot again over For a
Few Daddies More, who have again
moved to number two.
Chases slipped down to number five
from number three, but the top teams are
still so close that anything can happen.
Besides the standings battles, there
were two new records set for the MSA
Eddie Chavez Mixed Bowling League
summer session. Salt & Pepper II had a
high series record 3098, while For a Few
Daddies More had a super high team game
oflll2!
Roll, roll, pop, pop-there they go!
• Last week of WSL
Regular season play
Although the Renegades go unbeaten
into the last week of regular season play of
the MSA Women's Softball League, they
still have not clinched first place. Either
the Hell Raisers or the Ducks could take it
away.
The second game next Sunday between
the Hell Raisers and the Renegades
should determine if the Renegades remian
on top. The last game between the Ducks
keepers they "wanted out" ofa New York
University experiment of the effectiveness
of hepatitis vaccines.
After some prodding from animal rights
groups, university officials finally decided
to honor the chimps' requests not to be
used as guinea pigs. Instead, officials will
either donate the chimps to a primate
refuge or to Florida's Lion Country Safari
amusement park.
The animal rights groups are lobbying
for the primate refuge, since another
chimp was bitten in half by a hippopotarr.
us at the Florida park, in what officials
there call a "fluke" accident.
and the Hell Raisers will either determine
the top or the next two places in the
standings.
Every game should be rip·roaring and
healthy.
The WSL post-season tournament will
be held on July 31 and August 1 and they
hope to be able to play at Fonde Park
where the season games take place. "If
not," said Claire Vasilioy, "we will take
anything with a concession stand."
Women's Softball
League first of
its kind in
America
Montrose Sports Association's Women's
Softball League is the first gay women's
softball league in America. Martha
Richie, Sudie Raif and Eddie Chavez are
given credit with invisioning the league
when they met on New Years Day 1982.
The first step was to proceed with a for·
mal publicized meeting to initiaU: col'!lmu·
nity interest. The first ?rgamzabon~l
meeting was held at Manon Colem!ln s
Kindred Spirits. Publicity ~as p~oVIded
by Martha Richie and Sudie Raif, who
made posters and flyers that were distributed
in the community.
At this first meeting, the league was
firmly established and elected a board
which placed Martha Richie as president,
Kelly Caswell as vice-president, Claire
Vasilioy as secretary, Mona ~pez as
treasurer and "Murt" Bab1nt as
The MSA's Women's Softball League at
play
coordinator.
Later the league proceeded to adopt the
rules of the Montrose Sports Association
and also the same " purpose" which states
that "the specific and primary purpose is
to foster sports competition among the
membership for the pleasure and recreation
of its members, with special interest
to the gay community."
Along with the specification of the
league's purpose, a statement of nondiscrimination
was approved in which all
of the community is encouraged to partici·
pate in the Women's Softball League.
After these important points were adopted
the league was able to or'ganize into nine
teams.
Much has been accomplished in the
league's first year, most notably the unifi·
cation of women working for the common
goal of excitement, fun and competition in
the sport of softball. Participants also
were active in fund raising events such as
the Basket of Cheer, the garage sale and
an unannounced event to coincide with
Juneteenth. The league is also supporting
the Montorse Sports Association float for
Gay Pride Week.
Next year the Women's Softball League
has its aim set even higher. Additional
sponsors would provide an opportunity for
every woman who wants to play on a
team. Another hope is for more organiza·
tional togetherness and last but not least,
less rain.
The league encourages anyone who
wishes to participate in this organization
to join and become part of the league. The
Women's Softball League has started a
new tradition of competition as well as
fun, in Houston and in America.

'Gore Vidal
always delights,
and irritates'
Tfl!•:!-iE('.OND AMERl('AN REVOI.l TION AND
OTHER E:-;SAYS by (Ion· Vidal
Reviewed by Daniel Curzon
lnh•rnational Gay ~ews Agency
I alwayH grab the latest Gore Vidal houk of
~ssays, he<:au.se I know I'll be entertained,
mforml'd, and probably even have some of
my own opinions confirmed. Isn't that
why we read WTiters?
Vidal always manages to delight and to
irritate, and no doubt that's why I keep
coming back to his work.
In his latest offering, TheSecondAmeri·
can Revolution and Other Essays, the
author continues his light·fingert'd tam·
pt>ring with the body politic. Rarely does
Vidal .stroke it, never embraces it. Hie
approach is always that of the world·
weary statesman manque who laughs at
what deeply offends him.
I must say, however, that sometimt>s I
wonder if the author is quite sincere in
some of his beliefs. He always stands up
for "tht> people," but Vidal is also one of
the mort' obvious snobs around. He
wouldn't know ••the people" if he stepped
on one, would he?
I suppose he takes this approach
because it would be in bad taste to ridicule
the poor and the ignorant. Besides, if one
cannot believe in the goodness of corporations
and government, one can at least
comfort oneself with the illusion that "the
people" are somehow better. Vidal has few
illul;jions. but he has to offer something (to
him1wlf, if no one elHe) in u crazy world
Vidal also t•an 't seem to leave profesi:;ors
alone-although they've pretty murh left
him alone. I've finally derided that Vidal'H
totally unfair stereotyping of thi~ group
stems from several sources.
One is that, yes indeed, some profes.sors
do write constipated prose. But mostly
Vidal is getting back at the academics
who haven't praised his work enough. The
other reason is that the author didn'tgoto
college (calls himself an autodidact) and
therefore he feels compelled to denigrate
what he hasn't experienced at first hand.
But let's not quibble too much. Vidal is
somebody special, and gays ' can and
should be grateful for his "Pink Triangle
and Yellow Star" piece, originally published
under another title in The Nation.
With a deftness Swift would envy, Vidal
slices off the heads of Madge Deeter, Norman
Podhoretz, and other new conservatives
who have learned nothing
what.soever about tolerance from being
members of a minority (the Jews)
themselves.
How long will it take for old stereotypes
to fall into the dust? Even Christopher
Lehmann-Haupt, while reviewing this
very volume for The Neu• York Timt•s,
couldn't help wondering why Vidal
d()('!m't like "high-falutin' theories of
esthetics."
What 1s th(' thinking here'! Why, that
"outcasts" like Vidal always like the nou·

Ho~ehow Gore Vidal keeps on rem·
pmgnmg, in both the political and the
litPrary wars, managing to be both knight
and old war-horse at once. When all is said
and done, one has to applaud the indomit·

Automatic: rock and roll in Montrose The first guest emcee will be Jahonau
Reis.
Oh, and here is some big Copa news:
By Billie Duncan
If you have been wondering where to find
good hard-driving, dancable rock & roJI in
Montrose, look no further than every other
Sunday at Grant Street Station. where the
three-man rock group, Automatic, blasts
forth their particular brand of rock madneRR.
The group ts headed by drummer Larry
Sotoodeh, who perches with his drums on
top of a large industial spool in the comer
of the back patio. while brother Kenny
plays baSB and Mick Rose carries the
vocals and guitar work
These three people putout a great deal of
romp and stomp music to the delight of a
very mixed bunch of Montrosians. The
gay population of the bar, both male and
female, is joined by a compatible mixture
of n(ln-gay rockers and a ~prinkling of
intermediate trash.
Within the broad catagoryofrock & roll ,
Automatic has a great deal of variety,
being as adept ¥lith Stevit Wonder as with
the Ca1'8.
Betsides the copy tunes they do, they add
a good sampling of their own composi·
tions, one of which h; called "Hollywood
Eyes" and wiH be released shortly as a
single.
Because they play on the patio, they
cannot use their full equipment or they
would probably be fl.hut down. As it is, they
are playing with what they call rehearsal
equipment, but the how they put on is no
rehearsal.
While drummer Larry looks on from his
spool perch, which creaks and jerks with
the beat. lead singer and git player Mick
rips through the vocal!il with true rock
gusto and tears into his guitar like a man
po~d. One wonders how he keeps from
getting shin splints from jumping on the
concrete.
He twista, he stl etche~. he leaps, he
lands on key. His guitar chords craMh
across the audience, then his lead work
intricately weaves its heavy spell. Changing
up the pace, he becomes tender. Well,
tender with a touch always of gravel and
concrete
This is not music for the laid-back. This
is music to sweat by. This is music to take
home in your veins. This is music to
remember late at night when you are not
alone.
There are no dance cl&Bses to teach you
to move to this music This music moves
Kenny Soroodeh of Automatic
Automatic at Grant Street Station
you any Wily you H it.
The heat of the sun and the beat of the
drum combine to practicalJy personify
Hot. And Hot s talks the patio of Grant
Street Station. stoned and drinking
tequila. looking for someone to share the
beat.
Hot fills up with beer and conversation
and takes on the dance floor. Hot soaks up
the vibrations of the multi-muscled afternoon
and takes off his shirt. Hot speaks
softly in your ear.
And through it all, the fingers and fists
of the music of Automatic work through
the crowd. Even when they play a song
that waa written and recorded by someone
else. they do it in their own way.
Do not go to hear cloned music. You will
be disappointed.

• Duncan's Quick Notes
Good-bye, Good Luck, Come Back:
Last weekend saw the farewell performan·
ces of two very popular Montrose enter·
tainers, Mr Tiffany Jones and
Champagne.
ChnmpnKne b id for~well to Houston on
Saturday at the Pink Elephant to a packed
and very enthusiastic crowd. In the crowd
was Tiffany, whose fault it is that Champagne
is leaving. He got them both booked
for the summer at some wonderful place in
the far northeast. Sigh.
Mr. Tiff then waved by~bye from the
Copa stage on Sunday. G_ary Smit~ ~ays
that the Copa will miss him. Mr. Tiffany
has been emceeing the shows there. So
now the Copa will be having guest emcees
every two weeks.
Divine will do a show there on July 16.
Meanwhile, back at the P.E., regulars
Eydie Mae end Jeresa are reported to have
had a very sucessful show in Victoria at
the Pitts.
Taste~ticklers: There are a couple of
thmgs happening downtown (we claim
downtown Houston as part of the "Greater
Montrose Area") that should appeal to the
varied tastes of various Montrosians.
Magician Doug Henning will be performing
his incredible show of illusions at
the MuMic HalJ tonight and tomorrow(Fri,
day and Saturday). He is the guy that
turns himself into a six-foot shark and can
conjure up a 450 pound tiger,
On TV you can say, great, but the
camera can trick you. But live on stage ..
Also this week, starting June 23, is the
Jaffrey Ballet at Jones Hall, sponsered by
the Society for the Performing Arts. They
will be celebrating their 25th anniversary.
Happy anniversary!
More from Max: Max Pearson, who
gave us Cleopatra (in drag no less) has a
new and slightly more serious work up for
inspection . It is titled That Sad Jar of
Atoms and concerns the effect of Lord Byr·
on's death on Mary Shelley.
The Shelleys had a somewhat uncon
ventional household that included Jane
and Edward Williams. Edward and
Mary's husband Percy Bysshe Shelly
were killed in a boating accident in 1822.
A funeral pyre weM erected on the beach
for them and they were burned es Lord
Byron looked on.
In Max's play, the funeral procession of
Byron is moving through London in 1840
es Mary Shellc·y end Jane WilJiams look
on and remember their lives.
The play will be presented at the Hous·
ton Guest Hou8e June Z:J as a staged reading
with Renee Pemoud as Mary Shelley
and Natalie Roberts as Jane Williams.

Film director Fassbinder found dead
By John W. Row berry
International Gay New• Acency
Ranier Werner Fassbinder, the openlygay
German film director responsible for
the resurgence of the contemporary German
cinema, died on Thursday.June lOin
his Munich home.
At the time of hiR death he had been
working on a new film , his 42nd feature
project in the space of 13 yearis.
Fassbinder was discovered. nude on his
bed by h ou~emate and film editor Juliane
Lorenz. The official announcement of the
cause of death was being withheld until an
autopsy could be performed, although
authorities in Munich ruled out foul play.
Another German film director, Wolf
Gremm. for whom Fassbinder had
appE'ared as an actor in his unreleased
film Kamikaze. was also in Fassbinder's
house at the time of his death. Gremm told
reporters and police that Fassbinder had
been intently Workjng on his newest film
project all night.
A notebook and a video recorder which
was still running were found next to the
bed
Fassbinder came to American attention
in 1971 when his film The .Merchant of
Four Season:; was shown here. But in his
homeland he had already estabHshed a
professional status as a filmmaker, actor
and writer.
Often involved in leftist theater and sen ·
t1ments, Fassbinder was too untrusting of
political organizations, regardless of their
political i aocial philosophy. to embrace
any specific doctrine. Openly homosexual,
F888binder flourished in an artistic envir·
onment that judged him on the quality of
his work and not his sexual proclivities.
Fassbinder's first feature.length film
was released in 1969, when he W88 23
years old. The film, LoL·e is Colder Than
Death, began a cycl.,. of 10 films, all com·
pleted in one year. that represented what
Fassbinder termed his "pure passion for
movies."
A devotee of American gangster films,
the elements of illegal countercultural
activities oft.t>n filled his early works-in
which the director and his mother, under
the name Lilo Pempeit, often appeared in
the cast. His 1970 film about a group of
filmmakerti in a hotel during the making
of a film . Beu·are of a Holy Whore, began
the explosion of interet-1t and acrlaim for
the rebel director.
For the next decade, Fassbinder worked
at a neck·break pace. He completed 31
additional feature films. including ~ome
which became international successes like
The Marriaf.:e of Maria Braun, The Bitter
Tears of Petra von Kant, Effie Briest, Fox
and Hil!i Friendl!i and Lili Marleen.
His just·released Veronika Voss won the
Best Picture award at the J982Berlin Film
Fetitival and his Jast film. Querelle, based
on the novel by Jean Genet, was shown
out of competition at the 1982 Cannes
Film Festival.
Indifference to the films of Ranier
Werner Fassbinder has never been an attitude
of his critics or fans. Even films Hke
LUi Marleen, which received universal
bad reviews, were heavily attended. In
Germany Lill Marlttn was second only to
The Empire Strikf"s Bal'k in gross revenue.
Fasebinder explored themf2:> ofindividu·
ale caught in the social dictates of their
personal environment.ti. Often using the
protagonist to decry his own anti·social
feelings. Fassbinder mastered an ability
to tranidate his distrust of rigid social res·
triction into an universal axiom. His distaste
for following convention manifest
itself in hie personal life.
At a time and in a country that honored
conformity as a nationaJ virtue, Fass·
binder apptoared the •·mad genius·· to the
chastisement of the press and the l'ieCTet
delight of the public. Hts public notoriety
was that of an indisptonsible, if un~
haved. national treasure.
His treatment of homosexuality as a
theme in his films surfaced most
obviously in Fox and His Frienda, The Bit·
Ramer Werner Fassbinder in drawing b)· Al'el Clark
ter Tearaof Petravon Kant, Ina Yearu·ith
13 Moon.~ . and hi~ final work, Querelle
But in many of Fasisbinder·a films there
are obvlous homosexual sensibilitieti.
Fassbinder also produced a good deal of
television work that remains almost completely
unknown outside his native land.
A major l 3·hour historical drama, Berlin
Alexanderplatz, was the topic of heated
debate in Germany-where some of the
nationalized televi1mm stations refused to
air it-when itwos seen in 1980. Financed
by the German State Television system,
the television drama centered around a
particular se<'tion of pr~war Berlin that is
now underneath the Berlin Wall.
Only a handful of Fassbinder's prolific
outpouring has been seen in America.
Quere/Le is next set to play the 1982 Montreal
Film Festival.
Trekkies take note:
'The Wrath of Khan'
nearly flawless
By John John W. Row berry
International Gay New1 Agency
Almost flawless, and a damn sight closer
to perfection than you might have
expected after Star Trek; The Movie, Star
Trek: The Wrath of Khan is just what the
doctor ordered-a powerful and action·
filled two-hour version of what made the
television series a cult event.
While the original crew is back for this
second Star Trek adventure, they have
managed to get over their delight at seeing
each other again and get on to the busi·
ness or exploring the universe.
William Shattner turns in his best
James Kirk performance-bar none-and
the delightful surprise is the introduction
of another Vulcan (yes, Spo<:k is still
there), this time o woman. a starship captain
in training. Ricardo Mantalban. as
the outlaw Khan, is the sexiest 200-yearold
you'vf" ever seen, and also gives a
highly.charged, right on -target
performance.
Except for a diche or two at the end
(remember, I said "almost" flawletis), this
adventure should guarantee at least a cou·
pie more Tre-k films and give the Star Ware;
crowd ti.omething to scratch their heads
about, sincE' Th~ Wrath of Khan has a
scret:•nplay that d()(>sn't embarrass the
artors.
A surprise at the end Cl wouldn't dream
of giving it awayJ makes the whole thing
mu<·h. much mnre bt·lievable. If you like
science fi t tion at all , then you deservt! to
treat yours•lf to The ll'rath of Kha11.

The ghost of
a 'Haunting':
Steve
Spielberg's
'Poltergeist'
By John John W. Rowberry
International Gay New8 Agency
There is a very good reason why Steven
Spielberg's name is stamped all over the
Tobe Hooper film . Poltnl(n'it; Spielberg
co-produced, authored the story and coauthort>
d the Mcreenplay.
Beyond that, it is a Spielberg film from
bt'ginning to end; it has the stamp of the
famous director on every frame.
Now that'H fine if you like Steven Spiel·
berg's partirular brand of filmmaking;
some parts magir and Mome parts high
religious mt>taphor. But I have to wonder
why Hooper was thrre at all. And beyond
that. since Poltergeist is actually two and
a half films, who really dirffted whom?
In caMe you have never delvf'd into the
dark mysterit•s, a poltergeii;t is a playful
spirit, usually ronnt'<'ted to a personality
1n the concrete world, that upsets the order
of ordinary liveK by moving things
around : ('hairs, tables, watt-hes. televi·
.i;ions, somt•times even people. But polter·
geisbi, unlike ghosts, are univen~ially
non-evil spirits.
Part of the Hooper ' 8J)('ilberg film is
about an average middle cla8s family liv·
ing in a housing tract in middle America
A father, a moth(•r. a teenage daughter
who lives on the phont', a younger son, and
a five-year-old daugahter
It is the latter who attrnrta the playful
(usually) spirit. Sht> rommunicates with it
(or them) through a imageless channel on
the television. That's all very well laid out.
the family are inherently interesting peo·
pie as a unit. and Hooper , Spielberg create
a RE"nsl'of tt'nsion within the first few min·
utf'~ of the film-a tension that is the one
constant and dept:-ndable element for the
next two hours.
In fact , the suspt•nsE' is ('verything m
Polter1w1st; tht• spt><·ial E•ffffO;, while
intt'n·1>ting, do not go beyond the realm of
what statt"-of.the-art moviemaking is all
about.
The big problt'm comt>s when Spielberg t
Hooper try to m<·Hh their elever polter·
geists with a real evil and destructive
haunting. Too many contradictions. It
sounds more like Paul Schrader, who
openly claims to do no research for his
films (Hardcore, Ameril'an Giggolo, etc.),
than the very ingenious man who gave us
Jau·s and CloJ>P Enl'ounters
But tht>n again, maybe that's not as
weird as it eounds, since both of those
films. for ull their brillance, had slight
structural problems. Poltergrist has more
than slight problems; it tmffers from too
much of Spielberg's influence.
In a film that jm1t won't wash, given
what little we know about the supematu·
rel. we are trt'atcd U> a religious experienC't'
straight out of Clolie Encounters, along
with those beautiful, but alrendy-donevio·
lent doud formations.
There is a medium (a spiritual house
cleaner) who brings a jarring note into a
cast oth<·rwise artt·d out in a low key.
There are some physical malfunctions: the
spirits cam<• out of a television, but thl'ir
source of power is a rlosrt in a child's h<"<i room,
and the point of <•xit from tht'ir
bright-lit domain is a spot on the ceiling in
the living room.
How you ~et·t from point A to point R to
point C is just not vt•ry clt•ar, but J>('rhaps
you •hould forget nhout tht' titlt• of this
film und just tfO he &<·art'd half to death

P hotostory by Ed Martinez
One of the things that makei;acitylivable

In Paris. where land is astronomically
expensive. every time a piece of land
becomes available. there js a widespread
and heated debate as to do what to do with
it. Almost invariably, the end result is

This iB one of the reasons Paris is the
world's most beautiful city. They simply
feel thn.t the quality of life is more important
than its financial value_
In Houston, in contrast, real estate
developers and financiers seize every stra·
tegic open space and throw up huge office
buildings, apartment complexes and
shopping centers. This is understandable
smce Houston, a city in its adolescence:
has a lot of open space W waste, with
plenty of apace left to be devoted to future
parks.

they are accessible on foot.

park with a stream wandering through
trE'eS and lawns. Benchei; for seating are
aval!able, and the whole i~ located less
than a mile from both the Museum of Fine
Arts and Westheimer Road. Fronting on
heavily travelled Montrose Boulevard,
Bell Park offers sanctuary and a quiet
place for conU>mplation and rest.
Cherryhurst Park, a square block on

New girl on the block: the Dr awing Room
Photostory by Ed Martinez
It's always encouraging to see a new art
gallery open. There seem to be so many
convenience stores, junk food outlets and
expensive "gift shoppes" popping up
around Houston like toadstools after a
heavy rain that it is a pleasure when Houston
gains another artgallery,especially in
Montrose (where most of them are located
anyway) and even more especially when it
is a good one.
(Yes, gentle reader, there are, unfortu·
nately, good and bad art galleries.)
The Drawing Room, located at 3209
Montrose on the southeast corner of Montrose
and Westheimer behind what used to
be a Texaco station and is now a liquor
store, is definitely striving for excellence.
The current exhibit, entitled "The Other
Dimen8ion," will be on display through
July 2. The show features the work of eight
artists, all of them presently working in
Houston with the exception of Kelly Fearing,
who has been teaching at the University
of Texas in Austin for 32 years.
The Drawing Room makes superb usE' of
limited floor space in the gallery, taking
advantaA:e of window8 to give as much
natural hght on the works displayed as
po~8ible for those viewing the pieces dur·
ing the day. The eight artisit.a selected for
thii. show arf' obviously very tall'nted
craftsmen
Ali<·t• Cahann, Mork Diamond, Kelly
Veuring, I>cinald Fox. Bob Graham. Otis
Huhand, Nancy Kt•rn and ,Juan Vela all
pro!t•ct works ~f finished and profesi;ional
artists, eaC'h with his or her particular otti ·
tudt' toward and vii:;ion of reality.
Of the~t' nrtisit, several stood out as
efipeciolly appealing, among whom are
Otis Huband and Alice Cahana. Mrs.
Otis Huband and "Rebecca Confused,"
ml on cam•as, at the Drawing Room
Cahana was born in Budapest and was
the unfortunate victim of German rnncentration
camp8 in 1944-45. She was edu·
catt'd in Tel-Aviv and Sweden, where
many of her paintings are now in private
and public collections.
Jin work in this exhibit centeri. around
several piPc<•s of mixed media which draw
their inspiration from the Qumran or
Dead Sea Scrollis manuscripts. These
abstract works invite close scutiny, for
they sttm to contain more than is readilv
apparent at first glance. ·
TherP iA a dense kind of energy in these
works, somewhat akin to closely packed
"Qumran Bathsheba," mixed media by
Alice Cahana
moleC'ules. apt to burst at any mbment into
something unknown or unknowable. They
attract and compel attention, and at the
same time, they disturb the mind of the
viewer. Mrs. Cahana's talent i~ powerful
and obvious.
Mr. Hu band ha• studied fine arts at \\'ii·
liam and Mary, with extensive further
titudy in Italy. He has taught at thl"
Must•um of Finf' Aro. in Houljton. Rice
University and the University of Houston.
Savs Huband, "Art, for me, pre1wnts the
poSsibilit.y of reL1elation. A food work is a
prefience in the room ... . "
Mr. Hu band's work occupies a position
somewhere between expre~sionist and
repre1>entational, but unquestionably
atronJr and unequivocal. His anthropo:
norphic shapes, the careful attention to
color nnd line are tools to deliver a mes~
age that differs from viewer to viewer
Again, in the works of the orti,..;t. ". --we

Th<" Drawing Room, in bu~in('N' since
Septemh<·r. 1981, has made a bold begin·
ning in furthering the caliber of art it
seeks to offer to the Houston art Rcene.
This show deserveR the attention and support
of Houston art lovers.

JUNE 18, 1982 I MONTROSE VOICE 29
Tongue in Cheek
Only 7? I thought
there were more
By Peter Harrison
1982 Stonewall Feature8 Syndicate
If you remember the Bible, and have always wondered whatthose
foolish virgins did with the oil for their lamps, here's a scoop: it's
been rediscovered in Jerry Falwell's smile.
Rev. Jerry has been hot on the trail of sinners lately, you and I
among them.
Of course, that's nothing new. I've had so much sulphur and
brimstone rained down on my head over the years that I could
strike fire if rubbed against a scratchy surface.
Ordinarily, I'd just let ol' Jercarry on and forget him. Buthejes'
keeps a 'comin' across the teevee, cal1in' down the wrath of God on
the likes of you and me, and a'gettin' thelikesofHon. Jesse Helms
to write up a passel oflegislatin' about how us folks who oughtn't
to speiik our names should live.
Shoot! I thought Rev. Jer and Hon. Jess and I had an agreement.
I planned on stayin · out of the pulpit, as long as Jerry
stayed out of the Statehouse. Now all bets are off. I don't have no
big-timeteevee show behind me, but you folks are goin' to have to
show your faith by imaginin' the crepe de chine choir robe that
graces my manly shoulders. the hint of blue in my silver hair, the
swaying figures of the Heavenly Body Choir behind me (hallelujah!)
hummin' the anthem as I preach. (My Man? Strangers m
the Night?
"Brothers and sisters, lovers and possibilities. I've come before
you this evening, or very nearly. Be that as it may, let me bring to
your attention the Seven Deadly Sins.
Already, I see by your smiles that you are relieved. You thought
there were more, didn't you'? Well, you must remember that there
are sins and there are specializations.
"Let us not cast the first stones. But once the stones are tossed,
let's get our rocks off at the oppostion.
Who are the opposition? Be not deceived. Even though the
speech and delivery of Rev. Ernest may sound likethatofTruman
Capote, he is not of this flock. It may be the very fact that he has
not been flocked in years that makes him uncharitable.
"Let us rather look at God's eternal scoreboard, the Seven
Deadly Sins. Let's take them one by one and see who's behind.
Your dirty minds lead us from that unfortunate pun to the first
sin:
Lust. Ah, brothers and sisters, hunks and numbers, here we
take a one-nothing lead. There is no doubt that we are lustful and
horny, like unto that great sinner, Jimmy Carter. But how about
Anger. No, my sinning siblings, that is not our fault. Anger
maketh an ugly face, and who needs it? Rev. Jeris more likely to
express that emotion when talking about us or the women who
want to control their own lives.
Enuy? Ah, we all envy the better-looking, the smartly-clothed.
But what of our opponents? Is there no envy, one for the other, of
higher ratings on the teevee? Verily, this sin is a draw. At the end
of the celestial third, the score is one-and-one half sins each.
Pride is the next sin, and those of us who celebrate Gay Pride are
guilty of it. But what of theprideofnumbers of watchers, of size of
the place of worship? Again, Sin Number Four brings a draw.
Sloth is a trespass none of us can afford in the era of Reagan om·
ics. This is a strikeout for both sides.
Covetousness confuses some of you, due to the text of the biblical
passage, "thou shall not covet thy neighbor's ass." This is a
snare and a delusion, a sin falling under ''lust." Covetousness has
more to do with an evangelist who builds a glass temple, then cries
out for money to buy Windex.
Since every evangelist begs for money on each broadcast over a
station that costs millions, score one for the oppostion. At the
bottom of the sixth, the score stands evangelists 3, gays 2.
Gluttony is the last sin, and I'm afraid the evangelists take us
on that one, too. Rev. Jerry looks as if he's pretty big on the
biscuits-and-gravy circuit, and the PTL Club has a pair of singers
that have to pay excess weight charges on the airlines before they
show their luggage.
Compare this with the lineup on Polk Street or Third Avenue.
Undoubtedly, the winners are the gays, with a two·sin lead over
their opponents.
"Be sure to join us next week when the Range Grazers Association
of Montana sings "For We Like Sheep," from Handel's work,
and my sermon is from the text, "Beware of false prophets."

Dear
Dorothy
Why are the
good ones
already
taken?
Dear Dorothy,
Am I doing something wrong?
It seems that every time I am
attracted to or fall for someone,
they are already attached to
someone else! Help!!
Dorothy Says:
Rejection is hard to take. Being
at the riRht spot at the right time
seems to be a problem with many
of us. Also, being patient is not
one of our long suits.
What have you got to lose if you
tell someone you are attracted to
them. Even though they may
already be attached, they may be
available Later on.
Keep Looking, and keep
pursuing-you will master the
rejections, and eventually, find
the happiness you yearn for
Dear Dorothy,
Is performance anxiety a common
concern? Or am I aaking too
much?
Dorothy Says:
After checking wit~ several
sources it seems that this concern
is overplayed.
J feel that sex is an importa~t
ingredient of any relationship,
but it's not everything. Talk to
your lover about it. !Jein!I
upfrount about any anxiety is
always best even when the
clouds seems the darkest.
Whateuer is beat for both of
your needs can be worked out.
Keep at it!
