Business Guild May Change
Direction, A void Gay Issues
~-------- ..... -..., s10°0 !

M1mtro1w V()ice
The new administration of the Greater
Montrose Business Guild is hoping to
change the group's public image by con·
rentrating organizational efforts on
business·oriented projects and avoiding
involvement in gay community issues.
Frank Turner, newly-elected president
of the guild, said he feels identification
as a gay/ lesbian business
organization has hindered GMBG's
major purposes, advancing member
businesses and promoting the Montrose
area as a place to live, work and trade.
"We certainly aren't trying to exclude
anyonr," Turner said, noting that many
member businesses in the guild are gayownt-
d. "It's just that the reason most
members join is to promote their busi·
nesscs. There are other organizations,
like the Gay Political Caucus, that
members can join if they want to get
involved that way."
Turner claimed an informal survey of
about 40 members indicated they perceived
only an average 20 percent of
their tot.al business to come from the
gay community. The survey, which
Turner said he conducted last fall as
chair of the guild's networking commit·
tee, was intended to determine what the
"real" needs of the membership were,
how mem hers could most effectively
network their businesfies, and what
type of advertising would be most bene·
ficial.
The guild also has a "traditional"
problem with membership renewals,
according to Turner. Of 123 current
mem hers, 69 are new members who
joined in 1986, he said.
"Some members have told me they
joined to advance their businesses, and
they didn't get any increase in business
from their membership," Turner said.
Others said there was too much discussion
of gay/ lesbian issues and social
programs "flavored."with gay opinions,
even though the group usually took no
position, he added.
Turner said a listing of organizations
and helplines in the back of the guild's
directory also contributes to GMBG's
image as a gay group. The listing
includes mostly gay community resources
and does not list family·
oriented services or government
agencies in the "Greater Montrose"
area, he stated. The directory listing
will be reviewed for possible changes
before the next publication, Turner
noted.
Under past leadership, the Greater
Montrose Business Guild has been
aggressively involved in activities
promoting non·discrimination,
although the group is conceptually non·
G PC Endorses Pride
Committee's Effort
By Sh eri Coh en Darbonne
Montrose Voice
Members of the Houston Gay Political
Caucus passed a motion Wednesday,
Feb. 18, to support efforts of members of
the Gay Pride Week Planning Committee
to petition for an amendment or
waiver of a city ordinance, in order to
allow planners the option of considering
a nighttime gay pride parade.
Ray Hill, who introduced the motion,
strC"ssed that the caucus would not he
voting to endorse the concept of a night
parade, only to give the committee time
to pursue Holutions to legal difficulties.
Under current ordinance, neither a
parnd(• nor a festival, also being discussed
by gay pride planners, could be
held at night.
GPC board members pointed outthat
the QU<'Stion of an after-dark parade
was brought up during a recent board
retrt'at in Galveston, and that the board
agreed to oppose the idea because of
potential problems, including violence
and vandalism. Evening rallies held at
Spotts Park in recent years have bet'n
plagued with this type of problem, they
noted .
Current sentiment among members
of both the caucus and the planning
committee favors holding all Gay Pride
W('('k activities, whether during the day
or at night, in the Montrose area. The
night parade' idea was mentioned at the
first GPW meeting last month, but so
far no debate on the issue has been held
in either forum.
"If (the GPW committee) can't go to
the Gay Political Caucus for help with a
political problem, then who ran Wt' turn
to'!" llill said, udrling that he felt cur
rent leoclc·rship wafi trying to direct th<•
caucu!-l "likt• a ship alone," avoiding
mtnnc·tion with other community
J(rOUJ>N.
Memht•rH vott•d 14-7 with four
abstaining, to endorse the waiver
request.
Action on another motion introduced
by Hill , that the caucus establish a committee
to urge action by Mayor Kathy
Whitmire's office on promises report·
edly made by a mayor's representative,
was tabled until the next GPC meeting.
Hill said Clintine Cashion had twice
promised that Whitmire's office would
help facilitate dialogue between the gay
community and the Houston Chamb<'r
of Commerce.
Annise Parker, caucus president,
pointed out that the GPC board has
already n•quested a meeting with the
mayor on the subject, but has not yet
received a response. Delaying the discussion
would give the board time to
ascertain whether the mayor will meet
with them, she said.
Jn other business, members present
were deputized as Harris County voter
registrars. Don Hrachovy explained the
registration forms and the information
needed for GPC's purposes.
The caucus' $42,000 1987 budget was
discussed and approved. Estimated
exJ)<'nses totalled $16,723, with a 1986
balance forward of $12,000 and a pledge
of $13,277 allotted for the Texas Lesbian
/ Gay Right Lobby. A projected
income of $14,450 leaves a fundraising
obligation of $27,5!i(J for the year.
Lou Vnnech was named the new chair
of the documentation committee, and
the possibility of changing the name of
thP committee to better convey its purpose
was mentioned. "Crisis response
comm1ttC'e" was sugge!-lted. as an alter·
native name.
A nC'w "m(•dia watch" program was
announr(>d . Jim Owens urged members

political and non-aligned. In January,
1985, while Mike Ne1son was president,
the guild supported the vote by Houston
City Council on non·discrimination in
city jobs based on sexual orientation.
Also in 198.5, under another president,
Thom Rourke, the organization adopted
a non·discrimination policy and com·
mitted to actively seek membership of
businesses whose policies support non·
discrimination with respect to sex, race,
national origin, age, religion, creed, sexua]
orientation and physical disability.
The most recent president, PhyJlis
Frye, maintained that the policy of nondiscrimination
made GMBG's focus
and direction different from that of
other business organizations. Frye was
personal1y active in gay/ lesbian com·
munity issues.
The first guild meeting directed by the
new officers will be held Wednesday,
Feb. 25. M. John Curcio, a certified public
accountant and guild member, is
scheduled to speak on the 1987 tax law
and its implications for business
owners.
Other planned changes for the guild
this year include frequency of commit·
tee meetings, size and function of com·
mittees, and increased activity in
promotional and area development prcr
jects. A 24-hour hotline number, 528-
1111, wi11 provide personal or recorded
information on committee meetings
times and locations, gui]d projects,
membership and other information for

Catholic Church's Fitful Response to AIDS
Op inion by Bill Kenke len
Pacific- News Service
As AIDS spreads in the Catholic priesthood,
it will become increasingly difficult
for the Church to treat AIDS as a
disease that afflicts "them" because the
epidemic has now hit home.
Sadly, the impetus is needed.
Individually, many Catholic priests,
nuns and lay people have responded
heroically to what may become the century's
worst epidemic. But as an institution,
the Church is still making only
fitful responses to AIDS.
But the fact that at
least a dozen, and
perhaps many more,
priests have AIDS or
have already died of
AIDS underscores the
human fra ilty within
the Church itself.
Its failures are particularly glaring
because the Church prides itself on tradition.
For centuries, the Church led
society in responding to disease. Some
religious orders were created to fight
particular diseases, and the Church
built the first hoi:;pitals to treat the great
mn!-'s of people who did not belong to the
nristocrac·y. Their legacy is the
Church's current worldwide system of
Catholic hospitals.
But AIDS has stifled what might
have been expected of the Catholic
Church, and many other churches as
well, because of the perceived moral
is~we of its transmission through homosexual
behavior.
Four years ago, for example, a priest
in San Francisco refused to give the sacraments
to a dying AIDS patient
because he was a homosexual. And
Catholic bishops declined to heed the
pleas of gay leaders to counter the assertions
of right-wing fundamentalist
preachers that AIDS is "God's wrath."
The changes that have occurred since
then are often due to close personal contact
with AIOS patients. San Francisco
archbishop John Quinn becamt> the
U.S. Church's most prominent defender
of AIDS patients after making regular
visits to an AIDS hospital ward.
One widespread, but little noted,
change has been the greater availability
of priests who can, and will, minister
to dying AIDS patients. This is probably
the Church's most important role:
Helping a person find goodness and
meaning in li fe as he or she struggles to
find peace at death.
In the earlier years of the epidemic,
many priestf.; who have since learned to
minist<•r to dying AIDS patients didn't
know any openly gay men. For them,
the issue of sexual orientation, and
hen ct> 8exunl morality, was more impor·
tant than people dying of AIDS Today,
that issue is lt·Hs relevant as more
prit•sts experience the courage and love
of so many dying AIDS patients.
The fullest rc·sponse to AIDS from the
institutional Church has occurred in
Sacramento, Calif. The bishop there,
Francis Quinn, has ordered all the dio·
cest•'s uwmries to provide services to
AJl)S patients. The diocese held a
Church convocation on AIDS-the fi rst
in the nation-last October, led by
Quinn and Sacramento Mayor Ann
Rudin. At a healing service during the
convocation, Quinn anointed an AIDS
patient. He then asked the AIDS patient
to anoint him.
And Quinn regularly visiL' the Cali·
fornia Prison SyRtem\ medical facility
in nNtrby Vacaville wht•re California's
prisoners with AIDS are housed. He
celebrates mass there and spends after·
noons with the AIDS patients and their
families.
In a statement last May, Quinn issued
what may be the strongest statement by
any Catholic leader on the epidemic.
HJesus' harshest words," he said, ''were
reserved for self-righteous people who
condemned and rejected others
Jesus was not controlled by a niggling
inner guilt that makes some of us come
down judgmentally on 'sinners' to convince
ourselves that we are on God's
side."
Other dioceses on the forefront of
Church response to AIDS include Milwaukee
and New Orleans. Milwaukee
Archbishop Rembert Weakland is
chairman of the AIDS Resource Council
of Wisconsin. New Orleans Catholic
Charities is coordinating that city's
social service response to the epidemic.
In contrast, the Philadelphia Archdiocese
responded to a request late last
year that the archdiocese become
involved in AIDS ministry in a letter
written by Cardinal John Krol's secretary,
Father Joseph McFadden. "Please
be advised that while the Church
oppoS('S sin and sinful activity,"
McFadden wrote, "it nevertheless
extends its love and help to the ~inner,
urging convrr~ion to a life of virtue."
For Mark Prutner, a Philadephia gay
Catholic, th(• letter was actuallv "a
breakthrough . It's the first time ~e've
gotten any rC"sponse from them at all.
We've had people die who wanted a
priest but couldn't get one becauise we
uren 't allowt>d to have priests from the
archdioceise."
The record of other large dioceses is
mixed. Last year, the archbishops of
three of the largest Catholic diocesesBoston,
Los Angeles and Ch1cagoissued
detailed statements condemning
prejudice against AIDS patients and
insisting on, in the words of Boston's
Cardinal Bernard Law, "a spirit of loving
care and non-iudg-mental charitv."
Yet in each statement, Church leaders
felt compelled to preach about chastity
and marital fidelity. For critics like
Larry Kessler of the Massachusetts
AIDS Action Committee, such statements
only underscore the distance
between heterosexual people and gay
people-a distance that must be bridged
before there can be an effective AIDS
ministry.
Late last year, the Vatican issued a
strongly worded letter to all bishops
warning against support for homosexual
groups, and describing gay people
as instrinsically disordered. Some
observers believe the Vatican felt com-pelled
to issue such a statement precisely
because of the limited
rapprochement that was occurring
between gay people and many Catholics
sparked by the AIDS crisis.
Since the end of the year, four dioceses
have responded to the Vatican statement
by expelling gay Catholic organizations
from parishes in Buffalo,
Pensacola, Atlanta, and Brooklyn.
But the fact that at least a dozen, and
perhaps many more, priests have AIDS
or have already died of AIDS underscores
the human frailty within the
Church itself. For the growing number
of lay people and clergy within the
Church attempting to address the AIDS
crisis, that might mitigate the arrogance
that leads to condemnation and
enhance, instead, the humility that
leads to service.

Patti LaBelle-Fighting AIDS with Love
Hot Wax
By Jeffrey Wilson
It was late in the evening and we
were both pretty exhausted. Patti
just came off the road from her
European tour and a grueling twoshows-
a-nigh t stint in Las Vegas. I
was just getting over the flu. We
chit-chatted for a while, mostly
about the successes of her Winner In
You album and various other new
projects and accolades.
La Belle's a perfectionist and asking
her if the platinum selling
album and singles met her expectations,
Patti laughed, but in all
seriousness said, "No, but they will.
Things will happen the way I think
they should." Nominated for two
Grammy Awards, I asked Patti
about the possibility of finally winning
after so many years of nominations.
She turned the question back
to me, "What do I think? I'd rather
keep it to myself," and with an
earthy giggle Patti confided,
"Maybe I'll share it with you the
next time I see you."
The succe" of her first album
with MCA Records as well as the
duet "ith Michael McDonald has
made LaBelle highly visible to an
entirely new realm of possible colla
boratoro. "In Vegas I worked on a
new video for my song 'Something
Special' with George Carlin ," she
began to explain. "It's for Bette
Midler's new movie Outrageous
Fortune. Although I had just met
Goerge the day we shot the video
and we only worked together for an
hour, he was very pleasant to me. It
was great fun and he's a very crazy
guy.
A most unusual combination
even for LaBelle fans to imagine is
the pairing of the Queen of Rock &
Soul "'ith labelmates the Oak Ridge
Boys?' "Rainbow at Midnight" is
described by Patti as "sort of like a
ballad, and you know any ballad
will catch my attention. I never
thought I would work with the Oak
Ridge Boys. So when the opportuni·
ty came I said, 'Let me listen to it.'
When I did hear the tape, I fell in
love with the song."
Curious if it took all those Oak
Ridge Boys to overpower LaBelle in
the studio, Patti amusingly
laughed, "No, we shared' They were
very sweet to me. It was an enjoya·

ble session."
LaBelle fans will have to buy the
Oak's new album due out in March
entitled Where the Fast Lane Ends
to hear the blend, because as Patti
says, "I plan to have a new album
before the year is out, but I haven't
even chosen the songs yet. I hope
whatever the new project does. that
it comes out like Winner'"
And was she the toast of Europe"
Patti, ob,iously delighted, gushes,
"It was an exciting brand new
thing. Going to London after 15
years. it was like I had never been
there. It was a thrilling experience
for me! The audiences all over were
in a party mood, they were up. They
shared a whole lot of love with me
which showed that they wanted me
to come back soon, so I'll go back
next vear.''
After playing 'catch-up' we delved
into the real purpose of our conver-sation
which was LaBelle's trium·
phant return to her hometown (and
mine) of Philadelphia to play the
Forest Theatre. What makes this
especially heartwarming is
I..aBelle's gracious donation of the
proceerls from the engagement's
final show to AmFAR, the American
Foundation for AIDS Research,
In a som her tone Patti reflects,
"I've been aware of the crisis from
the beginning. Many friends have
come down with this dreaded dis·
ease and passed away." LaBelle is
not afraid to get involved or jump in
with both high-heeled feet, gallantly
stating, 'Tm doing this
benefit because I feel it from the
heart, not because anyone else does
them! Whatever I can do for the
cause, here I am!"
LaBelle feels very strongly that
the entertainment industry has
been so supportive, but there is more

to be done. Patti says, "They supported
Live Aid, they should do the
same thing to fight AIDS. They
should do what we're doing to fight
AIDS and support the cause. I can't
speak for those entertainers who
haven't come forward yet, or say
they're wrong for not doing so, it's
just I know it would help us if more
of them did participate."
Patti LaBelle, with her very
diverse concert audiences comprised
of any combination of black,
white, gay, straight, or as she would
say,whateuer, is very concerned
about the growing anti-gay sentiment
stemming from the uneducated
AIDS hysteria.
"I don't know if AIDS can ever be
looked upon as a disease that
anyone can be stricken with. I guess
it's like when you look at certain
people, and unfortunately you see
just how prejudiced they are against
gays, blacks or any other minorities.
I doubt if that kind of sickness
(prejudice) can ever be cured. It's a
sirknPss of its own for anyone to
think this is just a pay diseas<'
That's a higot!'d opinion and a
bigoted way of thinking. In fact, to
me it's racist for people lo be anti!(
ay and think that way about
AIDS."
"Unfortunately. there will always
be people who are prejudiced
against something. Once they have
it in their minds, they're probably
going to be that way until they die. I
don't know if it can ever be
explained, even through education,
that this is a disease that anyone
can get. You see, AIDS isn't bigoted,
it's a disease thatdoesn'tcareabout
the color of your skin, or where you
live, or who you sleep with. It's a
killer that doesn't pick and choose."
On tht• bright side, LaBelle
believes in the power of positive
thinking and says to those who are
ailing or who have lost loved ones,
"Think good thoughts, use positive
thinking. No matter how difficult it
seems some days, it's possible you
~an beat it. A positive way of thinking
might just help your body to
fight it. In closing Patti says
bravely, "Never give up, I still love
you!"

It's About Time for a Good Laugh
Houston Live by Bill O'Rourke
Montrose Voice
This has be<>n a rowdy week with lots of
drinking, hooting and belly laughs.
o The Comedy
Workshop
I had the most fun overatthe Comedy
Workshop watching their new show,
·'
Menzel plays a poor schnook who tries
to fit into the Houston Livestock Show
and Rodeo. This doesn't take out after
real westerners. Shucks, no! It lam·
poons the groupies and the shysters
that are a gunnin' fer 'em.
Don't forget Sharon Menzel and
Brooki, Bill.
If you don't like to be seen laughing in
public, avoid this show like the plague.
And the Outlaw Comics, too.
Fritz Dickmann and Sharon Menzel are part of the hilarity at Comedy
Workshop
"No More Sequels: Part Two."
These people are at the top of their
form. They're picking out targets that
we can all agree deserve it. They're
broadsiding them without turning cynical
and bitter. They're the funniest, silliest
though also most intelligent, they
have been in several months.
Warning: They have one segment,
Ask Dr. Duke (played by Fritz Dickmann)
which answers questions from
the audience. So please go prepared
with a question for Mr. Mustache that is
somehow related to medicine. This bit is
limited to being only as good as the
audience
But for the rest of the show, they arc
fielf.~rnRtaining and awesomely hilar·
iou8. They will Rweep you up into their
good vi hes and propel you helter·skelter
through th<' dang<'rous curves of a rol
lercoaster of laughter
There are only two movie take-offs,
but they are delicious. The ever-graciouR
Jennifer Noble plays Mom·bo, able to
survive tall obstacles with her superhuman
knowledge of household hints. Bill
Fagan is even better in "The Good
Seed." Remember "The Bad Seed"
where a little girl terrorized her mom by
turning homicidal? Here a little girl
(Fagan) terrorizes her family by turning
the whole neighborhood, one by one,
into the Police.
The rest of the evening focuses on
local targets. There is a spectacular,
Jack Lemmon-esque routine where Paul
o The Outlaw Comics
The Outlaw Comics is a large (too
numerous to mention) group of stand-up
comedians who do very risque, topical
material. In addition to a weekly "talk
show" over at Blythe Spirita, they often
do nights supposedly devoted to one
subject at various places around town. I
caught "The Outlaw Comics Get Political"
at Fitzgerald's.
People have been really hitting close
to home for me this week. Comedy Work
shop has a skit about a small weekly
newHpaper. The Outlaw Comics have
one about the world's great.est critic.
The Outlaw Comics are very, very
funny on the whole. I was laughing 80
hard at the good one I forgot to take any
notes. In the line of duty, I'll have to
return.
Most of the comics actually only
started out with a minute or two of polit·
ical bits. These all tended to have a
national scope and somehow no one
thought lo tackle LaRouche. Then
they'd go on to their regular routines.
There were a lot of jokes about men's
(Dee Macaluso was the only woman.)
relationships-all of them involving
girlfriends.
There must have been 20 entertainers.
Are they al1 hetero? Or is it that no one
has the guts to stand up and say "Take
my Jover-please!"
One man telling another to bend over
is still good for a laugh. But the best of
Marsha Carlton and Randy Jobe in Houston House's "Let's Call the Whole
Thing Off"
them-Huggins and Moore in an improvised
talk show, Epstein in the closing
monologue-carried the joke on far
enough that it was obvious that they
were making the audience laugh at
bigots who persecute gay men rather
than gays themselves.
o Sirrom School Belly
Dancing
For a more decorus rowdiness, you
might want to look up the Sirrom
School's belly dancing show team.
Three nights a week they perform at
Zee's, over behind the Shamrock Hilton
building. Once every month or two they
have a special performance at the
school. It's at Fairview and Tuam.
The night I attended there were no
male dancers other than the guest star
from New York City. But this is an art
that, if done correctly, will make any
woman wonderfully sensual to any
man
Sure, there were some over-dressed
women who'd forgotten the <lance's
roots. This dance must have been
designed to help a man pick out his
favorites from his harem. This glorious
fight for sexual power was occasionally
transformed into a club function for sorority
typeo. But they were, thankfully,
in the minority.
The traditional audience responses
are fun to do. There is a Jot of clapping
along in time to the music. Especially
good tumR are greeted with cries of
"Hopa!" or a high pitched trill, "Lililili
... " And when they turn the steam up
without letting it ef'cape, you can hiss in
appreciation.
o Torre-Garcia Exhibit
I also made the opening of the TorreGarcia
exhibit at the Museum of Fine
Arts.
First, the artist would set down a grid
based on the golden section. Then he
would fill in the boxes with symbols.
Some of the paintings are so wen
modeled that they look almost carved.
But all of them look to me like doodlings
of some highly intelligent mind.
All of those symbols obviously mean
something. A heart or a human silhouette
is often at the visual center with
other objects-religious (fish and sea
paraphernalia abound), natural or

Today's Television is Oversexed
The Innocent Bystander
By Arthur Hoppe
Are the children out of the room? Good.
For the subject today is one that should
only be di!'lcussed between consenting
adults. I'm speaking of-let the chips
fall where they may-condoms.
Many of us par·
ent;; are fnghtfully
concerned over
what effect condom
advertising on tele·
vision will have on
our impre~sionable
children. Congress
is studying the
threat at great
length
The qut-stion, of
course. is what we parents can do to
prote<:t our children from such corn mer
rials. Actually, they are already run·
ning on the screens in my
neighborhood. And I "ill b., glad to tell
you of the sane. sensible precaution I
took:
"Hi. there, Malphasia," l said to my
only daughter the other evening.
"Thought I'd watch tee-vee with you
Mmd if l hold the old remote control?
That way I can change channels in case
something comes on . . . [ mean if
there's something offensive or Hey!
What are you watching, some kind of
wrestling match?"
"No, Daddy," said Malphasia, paintmg
a fingernail, "that's 'Heat in the
Ashe!o>.' C'indy and Carstair are making
mad, passionate love in the gazebo. It's
kind of historic because it's the first
time they've done it in the gazebo."
"Oh," l said. "Maybe I'd better switch
to Channel Seven."
"Right." agreed Malphasia. "They
w<•re better last week making mad, paH
sionate love in the wheelbarrow. Of
course, they had Pietro, the gardener, in
there with them."
l hastily hit the Seven button. "Oh,
look," I said, "there's that exciting spy
fellow. James Whatshisname. Thev'vC'

stark naked, and she's appro3ching

ness~"
"Yeah," said Malphasia, blowing on
a fingC'r, .. I think shr's into bondage.''
I hit a suC'cession of buttons which
brought forth scenes of various folks
making mad, passionate love in back
seats, gondolas, fishing boats, balloons,
front seats, a giant clam shell and even
beds. Finally, I pushed some button or
other, and there on the screen
appeared-would you believe it!-a
young couple merely holding hands!

" I hate old movies," said Malphasia,
It was at this point that my neighbor
Mr. Crannich pounded on the window.
"Your garage is on fire!" he cried
through the glass.
"Sit right there and don't move a mus·
cir- or change a channel," I ordered Mal·
phasia
I should have known. The garage fire
was only my son. Mordred, having a
party with his friends and their funny,
brown cigarettes. But by the time l got
back to Malphasia .. Oh, cursed fate!
For as I entered the living room, I
heard a woman's voice uttering from
the sl'.!t thosr terrifying words that every
parent dreads: "I'd do a lot for love." she
W81i saying, .. but I'm not ready to die for
it."
'Malphasia!" I cried. but I was too
late.
She sat staring at the 8et, her eyes
wide, h<·r iaw agape. her whole hody
trembling. " [ didn't know," she said
slowly, as though hypnotized, "that
were such things."
And before l could stop her, she
rushed up to her room, put on a pair of
black, lacey, strapless sandals, and
vanished out the door. We haven't seen
the poor, Jost soul since.

Even the 'Hard Core' is Learning
Statistics Show AIDS Education Works
Commentary by David Strange
Pacific News Service
SAN FRANCISCO-If done right,
AIDS education works. That is the clear
conclusion to be drawn from a key,
plummeting statistic in this city hard
hit by the deadly virus.
Two years ago 142 cases of rectal
gonorrhea were reported each month
here, with 95 percent of the victims
male. The number now has dropped to
20 per month, according to Dr. Dean
Echenberg of San Francisco's Depart·
ment of Public Health. The decline has
been general, affecting both males and
females, in a1l racial groups and in all
neighborhoods of the city.
While there is no relationship
between the bacteria causing gonorrhea
and the virus thought to cause AIDS,
both are transmitted by unsafe sex, and
rectal gonorrhea is generaJly considered
to be a marker showing possible
exposure to AIDS.
The evident explanation for the stead·
ily decreased number of rectal gonor·
rhea cases is a decrease in high risk
sexual practices. That major change in
human behavior must hearten the var·
ious groups in San Francisco who have
placed their faith in education and
gra& roots mobilization as a way to
combat the AIDS epidemic.
About two years ago the Stop AIDS
Project, for example, noted research
showing that "gay men were very well
informed about the dangers of AIDS
and the need for safe sex, but they
weren't really acting," says the organization's
executive director, Bill Folk_ In
the face of that news, some might have
been tempted to write off education as a
failed remedy. Instead, the Stop AIDS
Project decided that a difft·n·nl kind of
teaching was needed.
"Information alone won't get people
to change-look at smoking," says
Folk. "What was missing was some
kind of peer support and communica-
... the power of
education, proven
with these latest
figures, may give us a
glimpse of a light at
the end of the AIDS
tunnel.
tion component that would motivate
people to make changes." He says that
in developing its curriculum, the Stop
AIDS Proiect drew from "everything
from humanistic psychology to market
research."
Project volunteers invite about 15
men at a time to their homes for evening
discussion groups, where the talk centers
on "the whole idea that we can stop
any epidemic by stopping transmission
of the virus. We are not powerless or
helpless to do something," Folk
recounts that newcomers would say," 'it
seems like safe sex is what I should be
doing, but I can't talk about it with my
partners_ I don't have any support."'
The meetings would invariably change
their minds, convincing them that they
were not alone in their thinking, says
CRAB LICE STUDY
Folk. "It gets them out of their isola·
tion."
Scores of other Stop AIDS Project
volunteers comb gay areas, inviting
passersby to the evening discussion
mPetings. Some 6000 primarily gay or
bisexual men have taken up the offer,
and by Folk's estimates at least 15,000
others have paused long enough on the
street to hear the safe sex message.
At the same time, San Francisco's
Department of Public Health has
funded its own aggressive education
program-and again group discussion
is a key component. For the "worried
well" there is an eight-week course
called "Hot and Healthy Sex."
Meanwhile the San Francisco AIDS
Foundation has blanketed the city with
pamphlets and advertisements. One ad,
headlined, "Congratulations to Eighty
Percent of San Francisco Men," praises
the vast majority of local gay and bisexual
men who told a survey they now
engage in safe sex. "It takes a lot of guts
to make major changes in one's
approach to life, health, and sexual
expression. Keep up the good work,"
reads the copy, adding, "If you aren't
part of the eighty percent, we'd like to
help."
The hypothesis has been raised that
there is a "hard core" of individuals who
will never respond to education on safe
sexual practices. But the steady downward
march of rectal gonorrhea cases
would seem to refute the idea. As Dr.
Echenberg points out, the number of
such cases would be expected to begin to
level off as this "hard core" is
approached.
Statistical analysis of the data shows
no leveling off to date, and suggests that
we have not yet reached this "hard
core," if indeed it exists.
Of course, as long as there continues
to be any cases of AIDS, or rectal gonorrhea,
more remain to be educated. But
the power of education, proven with
these latest figures, may give us a
glimpse of a light at the end of the AIDS
tunnel. It also suggests that with more
such efforts at education and preventive
medicine, a host of other serious health
problems could be seriously cut down in

New Stallone Movie Doesn't
Make It 'Over the Top'
Review by Bill O'Rourke
Montrose VotC'f"
Sylvester Stallone and his friends,
looking for new film sports to conquer
sponsored the first World
Armwrestling Championships.
That way they helped a fledgling
EE
of Stallone's letters, everything.
Now Michael is graduating from
a military academy. His dying
mother realizes that he's become a
horrible snot and a cold fish. She
arranges for Stallone to pick him up
in Colorado and drive him through
say is not a sport for sober spectators.
It has been inter-cut with
Michael's exciting escape, mean·
ingful reaction shoLe and some
really stupid interviews with the
contestants. It was really exciting
at times.
This movie left me laughing. It
was partly the laugh of victory with
Stallone, but I was also laughing at
the movie. You won't hate yourself
for loving this movie, but you won't
totally forget that there are better
things you could have been doing.

sport. Though it has a long tradition,
so far only 10,000 enthusiasts
have squared off in tournament
competitions around the country.
The filmmakers also got themselves
some real top-flight armwrestlers
for the staged championships in
their movie, OL'er the Top.
Stallone is conspicuous as the
only one among the final eight who
doesn't have a body like a Russian
power-lifter.
You may have heard that this is a
film where Stallone really acts.
Well, he's almost allowed to. Director
Menahem Golan keeps the pace
up, whisking us past those moments
when Stallone nearly makes us cry
so fast that, although they stir our
sympathies, they verge on the
maudlin.
The scnpt, by Stallone and Stirling
Silliphant, is predictable. The
two-dimensional rich villain
(played by Robert Loggia) is maneuvered
into a position where he will
lose totally (at least for a while) if
Stallone wins the competition.
Meanwhile, at the competition, an
announcer tells us at least six times
before it happpens that Stallone
will lose before he wins.
But I get ahead of myself. That's
so easy to do with this show. The
real find is David Mendenhall. This
handsome young man plays Stallone's
son Michael. His rich grandfather
has kept them apart since the
boy was four or so. He's blocked all
the Rockies to California. Gorgeous
scenery and beautiful acting as Sly
tames Michael Mendenhall is
going to go places as an actor.
Bravo.
