21.06 Decision: Political?
By Linda Wyche
Montrose Voice Editor
Politics, not judicial interpretation, is
being attributed as the reasoning behind
Monday's U.S. Circuit Court decision to
uphold Texas Penal Code 21.06, the sodomy
law. The decision affects the lives of
approximately 700,000 Texas homosexuals.
By a 9-7 vote, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals ruled to overturn the 1982 decision
of Dallas Federal Court Judge Jerry
Burhmeyer. Buchmeyer nued that the law
was unconstitutional anCl denied homosexuals
the right to privacy under the 14th
Amendment.
Gay activists and thoRe who closely followed
the case of Donald Baker vs. Henry
Wade, District Attorney of Dallas County,
almost unanimously blame politics a nd
Reagan Administration conservatism as
the reason for the ruling.
Citing that all the Reagan appointees
ruled to uphold the law, Tom Coleman,
president of the Texas Human Rights
Foundation and vice president of the
Houston Gay Political Caucus, said, "The
Moral Majority wing of the Republican
Party wants this law reinstated. Gays
who voted for Reagan got themselves
criminalized."
2 1.06: What Does
It Mean to You?
The MONTROSE VOICE asked some people
in Montrose: "What effect will the rein·
statement of the Texas sodomy law have
on your lifestyle?"
Skip Engelhardt: "'!'here will probably
be more harassment for a short time. I'll be
more careful especially in this neighborhood."
Ron Hellot: "It doesn't affect me one"' ay
or another. Tiwy are not going to intimidate
me. I'll do what I want when I want. I
think it's stupid and inhumane."
Buck Langland: It's gonna go on anyway.
We've done it before. We're gonna do
1t again ...
John Haley: It's a crock. I really don't
know what I can do about it except put
both deadbolts on the door at night."
Earl Gregory: "I think it will be reversed
by the Supreme Court. It won't affect my
lifestyle significantly because it never was
enforrcd."
Jo'reda Jerrell: "It makes me mad as hell
to know that my friends are criminals."
Charges Filed
over Happy
Buddah Fire
Arson investigators have filed charges
against a man believed to have set a fire
that destroyed the Happy Buddah Restaurant
at 516 Westheimer last month.
According to Roy Paul, Houston Fire
Department Arson Division investigator,
~iguel Jorge Delgado, also known as Car·
ml'n or Carmen de Cuba, is being sought
in connection with the July 21 fire which
caust-d $230,000 damage to the building.
WitnE'.Rses claim Delgado was seen leav·
mg the rE>ar of the building at the time of
the fire. He was employed there as a part·
time entertainer
Also a rompanion of Delgado's sup·
posedly told someone that the two had
been paid to burn the building. Paul says
he has "pretty spt'Cific information'.' that
the arsoni11ts were paid to commit the
crime. He would not reveal that informs·
ti on
Investigators have not been able to
locate !Mgado and believe he has left the
city.
Of the 16 judges ruling on the case,
seven were appointed during the Jimmy
Carter Administration, two under
Richard Nixon, one under Lyndon John·
son, and six under Ronald Reagan. The
Jone Johnson and six of the Carter appointees
voted to uphold the Buchmeyer ruling
a nd both Nixon appointees joined the Rea·
gan appointees.
Lee Harrington , former GPC president,
echoed Coleman's feelings by saying," • . .
while I have a number of Republican
friends, and with all due respect to each of
them, I hope they understand now why the
issues of the economy and inflation and
even the deficit ..• all pale in comparison
to an American citizen's basic human
rights . . . . This decision was a direct result
of Ronald Reagan being president of the
United States."
A politically motivated action must be
met with a politically oriented response,
according to Ray Hill, Houston gay activist.
"We will be looking at this for the
next decade," said Hill, "We are seeing a
rise of religious fanatic control of the
American jurisprudence system."
He added, "The only thing we can do is
get every available person involved.
An;vone not involved in the gay political
system should no longer be considered
Donald Baker; 'We're appealing to the
Supreme Court'
gay."
CHANGES IN PROCEDURES. Politics
may not only have played a part in the
decision reached by the court, but also in
the fact that the appeal was even heard.
Attorney Jim Mattox had dropped the
appeal process in early 1983 and Potter
County (Amarillo) Di•trict Attorney
Danny Hill decided to pursue the matter
himself. In September 1984, a three judge
panel of the court said that Danny Hill
could not override the decision of the attorney
general. In January of this year, the
full court reversed itbelf saying that Atty.
Hill wa" a member of the defendant class
and could pursue the appeaL
Judge Alvin B. Rubin, in a dissenting
opinion, stated, ''Determined to uphold
the constitutionality of a Texas statute
whatever obstacles bar the way, the
majority opinion tramples every procedural
rule it considers." Rubin added, "If this
en bane decision is precedent. it assuredly
rewriteli the adjective law. If it is not
intended to be precedential, but only a
special-life support contrivance, undertaken
for the one purpose of salvaging the
statute, it denies equal justice both to the
litigants before us and to those who, in the
future, will be denied equally extreme judicial
measures."
The justices voting to uphold 21.06 cited
a Virginia sodomy law similar to Texas'
which was upheld by the U.S. Supreme
Court.
In the Virginia case, Doe vs. Commonwealth's
Attorney, the high court summarily
ruled, meaning no opinion was
rendered with the decision. Judge Irving

Montrose Residents Demand End to
Suburban Teens' Westheimer 'Cruising'

America's Labor Day: Honoring Working People

Neartown residents Tuesday called for an
end-by Chnstmas-to "reckless and
cnmmal" behavior associated with teenagers
cruising lower Westheimer on weekends.
"Tins 1& an achievable goal Our Christ·
mas present to Montrose might be that
this problem Wlll be gone," 881d Rev. Ron
Pogue, pastor of Bering Memorial Me~hodist
Church, where more than 200 neigh
bore met to air complaints and seek
"creative solutions" to the cruising phenomenon
they say is disrupting their lives
Residents and property owners, m the
form of an old-fashioned town hall meeting,
voiced their concerns to a ta.k force
addressing the issue, ''The Future of the
We~theimer Strip-Weekend Cruising."
Cit) CounCJlman George Greanias, _the
director of city traffic and transportation,
and two Houston police officers also
addressed the panel, which includes
Pogue, Warren Duncanson. Matt Wareing
Tom \\'hitworth, Jill Hafner (preSJ·
den't of the Neartov.-n Association) and
Chairman Mark Schmidt lpresident-elect
of the Neartown Business Alliance).
Working with Greanias, the task force
plans to formulate a pro-active program to
crack down on joy riding, prostitution and
illegal drug activity that surface, in the
Montrose area on weekends, particularly
on and around the Westheimer ,,tnp
between Bagby and Montro6e Blvd ..
Frustrated r idents painted a frighten·
ing picture of an "idyllic, ioyfol" neighbor·
hood that becomes ransacked with
\iolence, traffic jams and "disruptive,
sometimes criminal, activity" from Friday
nights to early Sunday mornings.

virtually impossible to sleep before 2:00
a.m. and "the trash is something to
behold."
Another resident, McArthur Johnson,
added, "People sit on my porch shooting
up and l find syringes in the lawn the next
day. Across the street, they stand on the
corner and expose themselves for sale to
passersby.
"The whole situation stinks. I'm just
sick of it. There's no need for it," said
Johnson.
Many of the speakers said the attractiori
of hustlers, drug activity and "the thrill of
sex" lures middle-class teenagers to join
the growing popularity oflate-night cruising.
A high school teacher explained,
"They associate Montrose with sex, even
if viewed vicariously from a car." Often,
he said, it is "daddy's car," but "their parents
aren't aware of what they're doing or
where they're going."
Hyde Park resident Mitch Young, and
others, called for stricter enforcement of
existing laws.
"Any Jaw must be enforced to gain the
desired effect the law is intended to have,"
said Jack Sanders.
"We should encourage the police by cal·
Jing and reporting what we see," added
Dan Kuchars, who extended "kudos" to
patrol officers whose active presence
seems to deter some criminal activity. "I
think police should be as active, if not
more (active)," said Kuchars.
Officer T.J. McNamara said, "It's good
to hear someone else is as frustrated as we
are." However, his description of some of
the joy riders as "kids just out later than
they should be" drew comments of
"Wrong, wrong, wrong" from several
audience members. And many of the residents
said they didn't understand why
there aren't more arrests.
"No more warnings," said one.
"They've been warned. Now it is time to
take action."
Panel member Whitworth tried to
relieve the fears of one man, who said he
hoped that calls for beefed.up law enforcement
wouldn't be used as an excuse to
harass gays, blacks and Hispanics.
"The bottles I have dodged and rocks
thrown at me have not come from gays,
Hispanics or blacks, but from white,
middle·class punks," he said. Whitworth
said, "We are attempting here to restrict
conduct, not lifestyles."
Some residents suggested bringing in
mounted police and making "strip" traffic
one·way on weekend nights, and many
said they believe in the concept of making
lower Westheimer a "pedestrian mall."
Leslie Larson said a survey of business
owners supported that idea. But Butch
Day, representing Spud-U-Like, balked at
the notion saying that would virtually put
him out of business.
Orzeck said, "I would like to make our
neighborhood available to us as re~ident.;
to be able to walk outside of our house"
(without fear) at any time for whatever
reason."
o Correction
Last week's MONTROSE VOICE, in the
story entitled "A Lasting Entity: Houston
Gay Bars," it was mentioned that The
Exile, a Houston bar, was no longer open.
The Exile, located at 1011 Bell, is indeed
open. According to Doug Bone, owner, it
has been in the same location for 31 years
making it the oldest gay bar in Texas.
The MONTROSE VOICE regrets this
error.

Politics Seen as Key
to the 21.06 Decision
Goldberg wrote in his opinion that the Doe
decision "does not control our consideration
of a state provision addressing 'private
consensual sexual behavior among
adults."'
The court held, also, that 21.Cl6 should
stand as constitutional "in view of the
strong objection to homosexual conduct
which has prevailed in western culture for
the past seven centuries."
NO LONGER LAW ABIDING CITIZENS.
"Gay men and lesbians have virtually
no rights in the privacy of their
homes," is the interpretation Sue Lovell,
president of the GPC, gives of the reinRtatement
of 2Ul6. "The state has said it
can legislate morality. We are criminals
again. We are no longer law-abiding citizens."
If proRecuted under the sodomy law, it is
considered a ClaHs C misdemeanor and
carries a fine of $200. Harris County District
Attorney John Holmes says he does
not think there will be an increase in
prosecutions under the law. He says even
if the law is constitutional, his office will
not prosecute many cai;es. As a practical
matter, most of the cases that are prosecuted
are tho11e in which the participants
engaged in the act in a public place, he
~ays. He adds, acts which occur between
consenting adults. behind cloRed doors,
are practically impo•sible to prove in
court.
Coleman, an attorney, disagrees with
Holmes on the question of prosecution of
21.()6 offenders. "Ifit', reinRtated of course
they will (prosecute). U.S. Attorney General
Edwin Meese is on record to abolish
the exclusionary rule. This will allow the
police to enter one's home at any time.
Dr. Steven Hotze, the head of the opposi·
tion to Houston's January antidi11erirnination
referendum, hailed the
decision and expressed hope that the decision
would return homosexual activity "to
a cnminal category where it rightfully
belongs."
However. City Councilman John
Goodner, who also vocally oppo1:1ed the
anti-discrimination ordinance, wai; surprisingly
less excited about the ruling.
Goodner ;;ays he doe.• not expect any
police hara1111ment of gays or gay esblish·
menta. He added that he hopes that those
who wi~h to persecute gays do not use the
law as a weapon.
A Dallas group, Doctors Against AIDS,
joined Danny Hill in his push for appeal
partly to combat the AIDS crisis. Michael
Wil11on, president of the KS/ AIDS Foundation
of Houston, debates their claim on the
ba. is that "sodomy does not spread
AIDS." Wilson said. "The two issues are
not related. RegardleRs of sexual orientation,
AIDS is a health iRsue, not a political
one."
CHANGES IN GOVERNMENT POLICY.
Mayor Kathy Whitmire would not
comment on the effect of the ruling on the
city until it has been further studied.
Officer Al Baker of the Houston Police
Department said a task force is currently
studying police recruitment and promotion
policy and is expected to make a
report in two weeks. Whether the ruling
will affect the policy is not known. HPD
currently maintains an antidiscriminatory
hiring and promotion policy.
However, this may change with
homosexuality being criminal.
Sidney Braquet, administrative assistant
to State Senator Craig Wasliington
says that the appellate court action would
probably not affect Washington's attempt
to push a gay rights bill through the State
Senate. "There's all that more reason for it
to be considered. He (Washington) has not
given up hope and ususallydoesn'tgive up
easily," said Braquet. Washington's bill
was left in committee at the end of the last
legislative session.
Baker, who filed the original suit in
1979, and his attorneys, headed by James
Barber of Dallas, announced on Tuesday

ladders by a .;core of 1-6, 6-3, 7-0 over C
Ladder seccnd place holder Steve Bryant.
Bearden was later defeated by another
newcomer, Gabe Herpin ~. 3-6, 7-0. The
win moved Herpin into the number two
position.
The other newcomer making the ladders
for the first time was Sebastian Veles
whose 6-4, 6-1 victory over Lou "007''
Garza placed him in third place on the B
Ladder.
Other winners were Ron Bell taking
over number four on the Top Ten by the
score of 6-1, 6-3 over Rich Corder. HTC

Commentary
Journey to the Interior
By Sharon McDonald
Special to the Montrose Voice
It was the remark about the Tiffany box
that got me to thinking again about my
life as an interior design critic. You didn't
know? My dears, there's more to this Iii ole
dykelette than meets the eye, believe me.
Not that writing for gay newspapers
isn't fabulously lucrative, but you know
what they say; a freelance writer is a freelance
eater. But about the Tiffany box.
Clark had just casually described something
as being "the color of a Tiffany box,
when I jumped in with, "But what color is
a Tiffany box?" Well! His arm jolted to a
halt in mid-sweeping gesture, and his face
flashfroze in stunned disbelief. "What do
you mean, 'What color is a Tiffany box."'
He couldn't believe I didn't know. I
couldn't believe he couldn't believe. Shock
matched shock. Now I know I may lose a
segment of the gay male readership by
saying this, but the time has.come for putting
cards on the table: I don't know what
color a Tiffany box is. I don't own a single
piece of Lalique. I-I-alright, I'll say it:
I've never been to the opera. Love me for
myself or not at all.
Even with these gross deficiencies, I've
managed to eke out an existence. It's humble,
but with a certain nobility if! do say so
myself. There are, of course, moments
when the gaps in my upbringing come
glaringly to light, like this Tiffany box
question. But in this great country of ours,
anyone can rise above modest beginnings.
Look at me. I became an interior design
critic.
I found out that anyone could do it. You,
too, can become a highly-paid, highly
respected writer for interior design magazines.
Some might say it's the perfect gay
job, even more perfect than interior
designing. The first time I got this kind of
work I was petrified, sure that someone
would find me out and expose me as a
fraud. But I've since learned the tricks, so
tp speak. of the trade.
Now, although I enjoy a good mystique
as well as the next guy, I'm the kind of
generous person that also likes to share
the wealth of my hard-won knowledge. So
if you've ever dreamed of seeing your
name in print in one of those magazines
featuring $3 million summer homes, read
on while l tell all.
The first thing you've got to remember is
never to be intimidated by anyone at any
time. Your job is to intimidate. This will be

easier than you think.
When you arrive at the house in question,
you'll be shown through by eitherthe
owner or the designer. Try to make it the
designer. No, no, no, not for the cruising,
silly! For all the gritty little details that
he/ she knows and you don't. I mean, you
can't very well go back and write, "There
was room with a lot of blue and lots of
cushions, some of them pink," even
though that's the way it looks to you.
You need to hear the guy who picked,
plumped, and placed those pillows rave
about them with specific repeatable adjectives.
I was once standing in a doorway scribbling
on my notepad, "big rocks in floor
near front door," when the designer murmerd
in an offhand tone, "and of course,
we.have the flagstone-paved entryway."
"But of course," I murmured back, sound·
ing a trifle bored, while my hands fur·
iously scratched out my version and
recorded his. Do all this and then you can
cruise him, if you still want to.
That reminds me of another invaluable
tip: act bored. Never, never, never let on
that you're impressed by anything. You
see solid gold table legs every day. What,
another Renior? How tedious.
A popular misconception is that the person
who writes interior design stories
actually knows something about art,
architecture, furniture, and interior
design he or she is commenting on so officiously.
This misconception is a wonderful
thing; it clears the field of many would-be
contenders, leaving it to those of us who
need the money.
That brings me to a very important
point. If you should by chance happen to
drive a dented 1971 Toyota with no hubcaps,
do whatever you have to do to make
sure they don't see your car. The owner
will think you're the gardener, or that
you're there to case his house, either of
which can be very embarrassing. Park
around the block and hike up to the front
door. They will never think to ask you
where your car is, because they will never
think of you as a human being.
Hiding your car may be more difficult if
you have to drive through private security
gates to get up to the house. If you get
trapped, lie. It will be obvious that you're
lying. but they'll respect you for it.
Do compliment the owner or designer.
No matter how hideous the house is, this
need not be difficult. If there's absolutely
nt)thing you can see that you could compliment
without choking, then try crediting
them with an act of nature. One line that
always works for me is, "I like the light in
this room." You'll be amazed how many
designers and homeowners feel person·
ally responsible for this, and think you are
just too clever for picking it up.
Whenever you really get stuck, mention
how the plants in the room "add vitality."
And don't use the, "Ilikethelightin this
room" line when you're touring the wine
cellar. They're not fools.
What to do about furniture you don •t
know the name of? Act as if you know it,
but it's just slipped your mind, silly you.
Now ask a specific question about the
piece, gesturing at it so there's no mistaking
that piece you mean, and letyourvoice
trail off as you make a show of having
temporarily misplaced the word. "Was
this another find from the Paris trip, this
striking . . • uh ... " They'll be quick to
jump in with, "Oh, the armoire!"
When you're being chatty with the
owner, chat only about their possessions'.
Never mention that you've seen a similar
piece (of art, furniture, architecture, whatever)
anywhere before. You'd be surprised
how many designers tell their clients
they're getting a one-of-a-kind something
or other. And don't think you can break
this rule because you add that the other
sideboard was "not nearly as distinctive"
as theirs. Pride is a funny thing.
Speaking of pride, I think that about
wraps up this subject. Tie a bow around it,
stick it in a Tiffany box, and call me and
tell mf' what color it is, will you?
KS/AIDS
Foundation
Joins
Info Network
The KS/ AIDS Foundation of Houston has
become the only organization located out·
side of California that is a member of
CAIN, the Computerized AIDS Informs·
tion Network. This computer data base
will provide the foundation with a broad
spectrum of AIDS information that enhances
the organization's ability to provide
AIDS education.
The data base's menu offers a number of
categories that will be utilized by the foun·
dation.
The data base's "educational/ media
information" category will provide the
foundation with information about new·
sletters and brochures, references of
audio-visual resources, and a collection of
current and archival news articles.
Of real importance to the foundation is
the data base's "research/ clinical data"
category. The in-depth technical section
includes epidemiological statistics, infor·
mation related to medical and behavioral
research studies, clinical and laboratory
information about AIDS and AIDS related
complex, and AIDS infection guidelines
for health care workers.
The "scientific/ medical resource" category
will also enhance the foundation's
educational programs by providing an on·
line source of articles and abstracts from
medical and social science journals.
The data base will also tie Houston to
other AIDS organizations by providing a
facility for on-line conferencing between
CAIN subscribers and others. This feature
provides a form for interaction between
researchers, as well as a means for networking
among groups and a mechanism
for sharing ideas on issues of common con·
cern and current interest.
The cost of subscribing to CAIN and the
computer services are being provided by a
donor.

A Lasting Entity: Houston Gay Bars
An Interview with Larry Bagneris
By Jerel Shaw
Editor's Note: In this the final installment
of a four-part series, we talked with Larry
Bagnerjs, who has serued as uice president
and president of the Gay Political
Caucus and ia actiue with the National
Gay Task Force, Texas Gay Rights Association,
and the Gay Hispanic Caucus. He
is also inuolued in areas which call for
coordination between the gay and nongay
communities.
On the subject of "bars," his life, as with
many gays, seems to be intrinsically
affected by this institution.
JS: The objeetive of this series is to
enlighten people (gay a nd non-gay) about
the effect of gay bars on the gay lifestyle.
Larry Bagneris: They're unique.
Reflecting on my own experience when I
was trying to come out in New Orleans, it
was emotional to say the least. I remember
going to the door of a bar and feeling
extremely nervous. I would have to go
home and relieve myself because I was too
embarrassed to use the men's facilities
inside. I'm talking about 12 or 15 years
ago.
J S: Will you share with our readers
more about your early "bar experience?"
LB: I wasn't so much as embarrassed as
frightened. You're told a lot of things
about the gay lifestyle and you're wondering
about many things. I would term it a
"closed society" (back then) because a lot
of people were arrested in the bars in raids
by the local police. There were vice squadsmen
there who apprehended someone if
you as so much hugged another person.
The:v termed this indecent behavior. So
the bar represented a challenge to anyone
coming out. Yet, the bar was, and is, a very
special place to a gay person.
It represented the only place where a
person could meet. I mean eight to 15 yearsago
it was the bar. It seems hard for people
coming out now to realize that. I have a
greater appreciation for the movement
and community because I have experienced
and seen the transition and I personally
know the importance of bars.
It also is a place where one can go and
feel a little protected. It is a place where
one can make the transition into the gay
lifestyle. It is a place where much of our
political energy is coordinated; and a
place where one can be educated directly
or indirectly on what gay life really is and
about other related things that are happening
in the community.
JS: Larry, it seems that some in th·e general
society have and still do.perpetuate
myths about the "bar scene?"
LB: We've heard many lies and myths
about the bar. You know, the massive
orgies going on behind closed doors. There
was a "hooray" from some when the raids
were happening in Mary's at the tum of
the decade. There was an unfounded rea·
son to respond negatively when Mayor
Whitmire went to the bars to thank the
community. You remember, in the newspapers
there were phrases (quoting antigay
movement people like Geneva Kirk
Brooks), "semen swept floors." I mean all
of this based on ignorance. So there are
many myths that still circulate, but we as
gays know they're not true.
The gay bar is no different from a

straig•.t bar in terms of prohibiting anything
illegal to flourish.
JS: So LarrY we have a young gay person,
just reaching drinking age, and what
you're saying is that the bar is an excellent
avenue for self-realization?
LB: I'm saying that any freedom
requires responsibility. Freedom equals
responsibility. I would never apologize for
anyone at the legal drinking age for going
into a bar. Also, we cannot compare a 19-
year-old gay person coming out with that
of a straight society which has numerous
outlets.
A gay person is not only seeking understanding
about his or her sexual identity
but also of the gay community. In time, a
person who comes to a bar will not only
learn how to properly consume alcohnl,
but also how to interact with his or her
peers. Subsequently, there is a source of
security and a network of friends established.
Fortunately today there are other
outlets, and once again the bar structure
has supported us in establishing these
outlets.
JS: Would you explain?
LB: Yes. There are many activities
today (in Houston) that we as gay people
can participate. The bar has been that
source of information. You see, the bar
today is not the only mainstay. We have
other organizations like churches, clinics,
and many other diverse organizations
that a re a part of the gay lifestyle. "Gay
Pride Week" demonstrates this.
Also, 15 years ago the bars were owned
and operated by the Mafia. And I say that
because I know what I'm talking about.
But today our people are running (owning)
the bars, and because of this, they are in
tune with the many changes taking pla_ce

in the community as well as its demands.
JS: You mentioned Gay Pride Week?
LB: It is fortunate that the bars have
allowed us a 10-day celebration. I can't
begin to tell you the type of generosity.
They haven't just donated money, but
liquor and personnel time. They've made
sure that their representatives have complied
with decoration codes. They've
entered floats. They have been very meticulous
in their preparations. And as a
standard, be.sides the GPW, the bars have
helped to coordinate programs such as
"Playsafe" and the AIDS effort.
About eight years ago, when I first
became active in the Houston gay community,
there was this problem of discrimination
in some bars. Blacks, Hispanics,
women and other minorities were being
asked for several IDs. One bar, The Loading
Dock, did not allow women to enter.
After talking to the management,
things changed. Marian Coleman has
been very isntrumental in the concept of
"Men and Women Together." Also. Black
and White Men Together <BWMT) was
responsible for bringing the ID matter in
focus.
Today that's unheard of. The gay community
believes in unification and we've
shown this against the Klan march and
by simply the image that we try to project.
JS: Larry, there are people who say that
the bars are a detriment to the neighborhood.
LB: Now there are problems that are
happening on Westheimet where we have
runaway youths from the straight society.
This problem did not come from U!. And
we also have the traffic congestion of
youths from the non-gay community.
Onct> again, this is not our problem.
JS: So Larry can we conclude by saying
the bar b an entity that is and \\;II be an
avenue for gays to enjoy, support and
learn. And maybe where non·gays can
learn something about the gay lifestyle?
LB: Definitely They v.i ll be around
forever. We've worked very hard to secure
that space. As long as we continue to put
ourselves behind the "eight ball" or on the
defensive. we'll be pawns to what the gen·
era! population says. While bars do not
have a total grip of the approximately
250,000 gays in this city,it has and always
will be a central point of focus.

Films Struggle to Convey Message Films
By Scott Cutsinger
Montrose Voice Film Critic
The bulk of American moviegoers require
a lot of action and very little rationale,
rei;ulting in box office hits like Rambo and
Back to the Future. One of this week's new
films follows this pattern faithfully, while
the other tries to use a little scientific reasoning
and ultimately becomes boring.
Michael Cirnino's Year of the Dragon is
a slam-bang action flick, but if you linger
too long to try to think things out, you
might get very confused. Its story (a pohce
captain corning down on the ChineRe
Mafia) i~n 'tan ethnic character study like
The Godfather or some of the graphic
Scarface. The underlying thoughts about
race and prejudice are there, but they are
greatly whitewa1<hed with fabulous action
sequences and jolting murders.
On the opposite side there 18 Warmng
Sign, a film so enamored in explaining the
dangers of gene-splicing that it becomes
tedious and slow. To make matters wor,e,
some of the important information concerning
the effects of an incident are inexcusably
left ouL
Somewhere there's an important point
to be made about experimenting with
genes and viruses, but when accident victim,
become crazed zombies. you know
somebody is headed down the wrong
track.
o Year of the Drugon
In the late 70's, director Michael Cimino
wa;; hot property on the basis of a film that
won an Oscar for him and scooped up four
others including Best Picture. The triumph
of The Deer Hunter wa11 overshadowed
later by the diHastrous Heauen 's
Sam Waterston and Kathleen Quinlan m "Warning Sign"
Gate, a megabuck Western that bit the box
office dust to the tune of millions and sunk
the studio that produced it. The director
with big visions of films that cost big
bucks was soon Hollywood's spitoon.
Fortunately, MGM gave him another
chance and he wrapped up Year of the
Dragon under budget and on time.
Whether audiences will clamor to see it is
something only time will tell. But one
thing is for sure, Cimino has made a bril·
liant spectacle that is sure to split audien·
ces and critics alike.
The story features a well-used cliche:
unruly cop fighting against the unfair
"system." Like in Serpico and Prince of
the City, Stanley White is a cop who cares
enough to fight against unbeatable crime
and corruption. His new assignment is to
break up the wild youth gangs that are
terrorizing Chinatown and killing busineARrnen
.
Stanley (Mickey Rourke) decideR that he
should also break up the Chine;;e Mafia
while he's at it, and that's when all hell
breaks looAe. He comes up against .Joey
Tai, a young Mafia businessman who has
an eye on taking over leadership of the
association and may be a force behind the
youth violence. Through a series of elaborate
deals and killings, he does assume
power and the responsibility of getting
Stanley off their backs.
Of course, Stanley's superiors don't
believe that the Mafia is connected to the
gangs, and insist that he leave well
enough alone. Ignoring them, he begins
busting up gambling, prostitution, and
other vices which forces Joey Tai to resort
to violence. The ChineRe Traid (Mafia) is
Stanley White (Mickey Rourke) and
Tracy Tzu (Ariane) in "Year of the
Dragon"
John Lone portrays Joey Tai m "Year of the Dragon"
one of the world's oldest criminal orgam·
zations, and it will not fall easily.
Year of the Dragon is filled with explo·
sive violence, but it is not as gruesome in
the style of Scarface. The large-scale mas·
sacre in the Chinese restaurant is so
vibrantly overwhelming that we barely
realize that people are being killed.
Murders are effortlessly choreographed,
and only one scene involving a beheac;!,ing
seems unnecessary.
With all of the excitement abounding on
the screen, it's hard to realize that this
crime thriller is still reaching for a mes·
sage. Like in The Godfather, we see a
group of people who resent being mixed
into the American melting pot. They want
to overcome their own prejudices and
leave behind outdated ethnic ideas and
customs.
There are also the Americans like Stan·
ley who resent foreigners and want to
blast everyone from blacks to Chicanos to
Vietnamese. Stanley's ex-Viet Nam vet
mind sees the Chinese in the same cate·
remaining normal people.
The normals include Kathleen Quinlan
as the head of security (unaffected because
she is pregnant) and her sheriff husband
played by Sam Waterston. Assisted by J ef·
frey De Munn as the man who could possi·
bly whip up a new antidote, the three end
up innoculating the 80 or so zombies that
are wandering around the lab. Whoops ...
Sam almost forgot to give himself a shot
there and almost became a zombie him·
self.
Sam should hit himself in the head for
appearing in such silliness after his great
performance (nominated for an Oscar) in
The Killing Fields last year.
As for the film, it's not really bad but
just B-movie material with good actors
trying to overcome. There are some tense
moments, but everything drags out for an
eternity. Easy to avoid and probably easy
to miss (I hope it's still playing somewhere
in town), the best advice for this film is to
heed the title.
gory as the Viet Cong-enemies to be dealt {.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
with and overcome.
But then we find him falling for a Chi·
nese newscaster who he uses and often
abuses. The unlikelly romance doesn't
make much sense, and to make things
worse we have an inexperienced model
(Ariane) playing an important role that
requires much more experience than she
has. As often is the case, the romance
drags down the action and contributes lit·
tie.
Mickey Rourke is good as Stanley, but
he's an unlikable guy to watch. Rough and
rude, we have a hard time sympathizing
with someone doing everything the hard
way. The most watchable actor is the out·
standing John Lone as Joey Tai. Last seen
as the prehistoric man in Iceman, Lone is
a China-doll faced villain who you just
can't hate. His acting is Academy Award
material and he will no doubt shine in
future efforts.
The magnificent sets for Chinatown
were constructed in Dino De Laurenti&'
new North Carolina studios, and they are
colorfully authentic. Editing and special
effects are superb, although the makeup
and costumes a re often lacking. Cimino
directs the whole thing like he did his previous
efforts, using a sparse screenplay
that develops into a powerful and emo·
tional visual experience.
Year of the Dragon isn't for everyone,
but if you like your films rough and hard
then this will thrill you. It's got more to
offer than Rambo as far as excitement, but
if you're looking for a movie with "mean·
ing" you'll have to wait until the fall dra·
mas hit town soon.

With all of the scare about the AIDS virus,
you would think that screenwriters could
come up with a better "lab" movie than
Warning Sign. Of course, we've already
been warned of potential biohazards with
films like Silkwood, Andromeda Strain
and China Syndrome. But gene splicing
and viral experimentation present dread· ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ful consequences that would tend to make '
a wonderful movie.
Instead, in Warning Sign we get plenty
of scientific mumbo-jumbo that is ulti·
mately useless and boring. This gene·
splicing facility (BioTec ASTonomics) is

PA 0 AOVCRT EMENT
Student/Houseboy
Despite great effort and very sincere intentions, I have not
yet found the one or two 18-20 year old (no older, no younger,
please; birth certificate required) males(s) whom I am
seeking. I do, however. remain determined to find just the
right person(s). And, so, I continue my search.
This is what I will do for you if you prove to be the right
person(s):
1. Subsidize your education at a four-year college or arts
school in the New York City metropolitan area.
2. Pay for your trip to New York.
3. Fully care for all your financial needs (cloth ing. food,
travel, books, sports, recreation, cultural, educational,
hospital and medical insurance, dental needs, etc).
4. Give you the security of a stable home.
5. Give you the security of a long-term, protective
relationship.
6. Expose you to the good life of New York City (either
theatre, ballet, opera, sporting events, dining out at better
restaurants, etc., a least once weekly).
7. Offer you my maturity and sophistication.
8. Guide you in your studies and development.
9 Offer you my avuncular (l ike an uncle) love.
10 Train you to enjoy serving and fulfilling the sexual needs
of a mature man.
This is what I require of the right person(s):
1. Be between 18-20 years of age.
2. Appear 2-3 years younger than your chronologic age.
3. Be happy that you are gay.
4. Appear very boyish; not effeminate.
5. Possess a strong urge to further your education without
possessing the financial facility to obtain that education. (But.
please, do not respond to this ad if you believe, that by so
responding, you are selling your soul to the Devil in a lastditch
effort to obtain your education. Please only respond if
you believe that you would truly enjoy the particular type of
gay lifestyle which I offer, as well as desiring having your
education subsidized).
6. Truly enjoy serving and fulfilling the sexual needs of a
man older and more mature than yourself.
7. Truly enjoy playing light bondage "games" (You can be
totally assured that you will never be physically hurt by me;
but if you are not excitied/ thrilled by "games" of bondage,
you will not be happy living with me and should, therefore, not
respond)
8. Be prepared to be totally honest with me.
9. Have no involvement with or interest in the gay bar scene,
drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes, or be ready to totally abstain
from these activities.
10. Be intellectually bright and/or artistically talented.
11 Be prepared to work quite hard to maintain a 3.0 or
higher college average or the arts school equivalent.
12. Be prepared to work quite hard to maintain my 10-room
penthouse apartment in Westchester County, 10 miles north
of New York City.
13. Be prepared to work quite hard to satisfy my sexual
desires and needs.
14. Have a strong need to be loved and cared for by a
surrogate "uncle."
15. Be as determined to maintain a long-term (at least
throughout the 4 years of your undergraduate education)
commitment to me as I am determined to commit myself to
you.
16. Physically, be short (5'9" or, rreferably, less), and (even
more importantly) quite slender, 130 lbs. or, preferably, less.
17. Have wavy hair (or be willing to have your hair permed).
18. Be extremely boyishly, youthfully handsome.
Son, I know how much I, sincerely wis.h to help you if you
are one of the right persons. I am not engaging in idle play
exercise by placing this ad. I do, very much, want to care for,
love, and help you, while, at the same time. playing my
"games."
Son, I know how much I want my relationship with the right
person to work very well. Please respond to me if you are the
right person (and only if you are the right person.) I possess
the financial, intellectual, and emotional facil it ies to,
significantly and beneficially help you and to serve your
present and future needs. I ask, in return, that you possess the
willingness and determination to fulfill my needs and to make
me happy living with you.
Kindly call me collect, 914-428-3991 (New York Eastern
Daylight Time) weekdays 7AM-8AM and 7:30PM-9:30PM or
weekends 9AM-9PM. If no answer or the line is busy, call
again. If you, the reader of this ad, do not fit my particuiar age
or physical requirements, but happen to know the right
person (who might not have seen this ad). please do him and
me a great favor by showing him this ad.
