AUSTIN HISPANIC
CAUCUS FORMED
AUSTIN - The capital city has
joined Dallas and Houston in organizing its own caucus for Gay Hispanics
in Texas. The new group is known as
the Austin Lesbian and Gay Hispanic
Organization. It was formed on August
25 at the home of Mike Alfaro.
The purpose of ALGHO is to create
an awareness of self, culture and community in gay and lesbian Hispanics,
and to create a network among them to
provide a clearinghouse of information
and resources about Hispanics to other
organ izations.
The first general meeting of the new
group will be this Sunday, September
15 at 201 East 4th, #232.
A "Dia de La Raza" celebration on
October 12 is also planned, ALGHO
told TWTNEWS/Austin.

TICKETED ARCADES
REMAIN OPEN
HOUSTON - Although undercover
vice officers began ticketing operators
of x-rated peep show arcades last Friday, it was business as usual for customers as most bookstores remained
open. Under the city's new arcade ordinance, which went into effect September 6, operators can be fined up to
$200 per day if they fail to get a city permit, bringing their stores into compliance with the new law.
Police cited 39 adult bookstores for
failing to reconstruct their arcades so
all peep show booths would be visible
to the clerk. Police found 11 peep show
arcades had voluntarily closed last Friday, the day the new ordinance became
law. An eleventh hour legal move by
Saxet Inc., owner of three bookstores,
was turned down by U.S. District Judge
Ross Sterling. Arcade News, Bellaire
News and Doc Johnson's had requested a restraining order to keep officers
from enforcing the law.
R. David Legg, attorney for Saxet
Inc., said he would proceed with the
lawsuit, which claims the new ordinance is "an abusive use of police
power" with no relationship to the
health, safety or welfare of the general
public.
Legg said the lawsuit was "only the
first step. The longer battle remains."
Legg added he was to meet again with
the bookstores he represents to discuss compliance with the law. One of
the original clients, Diners News in
Montrose, has dropped out of the
lawsuit.
Most clerks ticketed think little will
come of the ordinance. "The owners of
the store will pay my fine," one clerk
told TWTNEWS/Houston.
Ron Murphy, 21, clerk at the Ballpark,
1830 West Alabama, commented, "To
tell you the truth, I don't think much of
it." A clerk at Studz News, 1132 West
Alabama, added, "They came in and
ticketed us this morning and I expect
they'll be back again tomorrow."
TARRANT COUNTY GAY
ALLIANCE IS FIVE
FORT WORTH - The Tarrant County Gay Alliance will celebrate its fifth
anniversary of service to the Fort Worth
area on Friday the 13th. The event will
turn the supersticious date into a lucky
day, as "we will have an anniversary
celebration at the Other Place Annex,
200 North Vacek," Frank Roper, TCGA
board member said.
"The Tarrant County gay community is invited for free beer and hors
d'oeuvres," he said. "No cover till 10
p.m. will be charged for this event,"
Roper told TWTNEWS/FortWorth.
The celebration will include brief
comments by past and present leaders
of the TCGA and the community. "But
the main purpose is just to have fun and
for us to express our thanks for the support we have received," Roper stressed.
TCGA held a meeting last Thursday,
September 5 to discuss the local response to' the reinstatement of 21.06,
the Texas sodomy law. The TCGA-recorded calendar message has been
temporarily suspended so that important business relating to the court decision can be handled on (817)336-8242.
24·HOUR AIDS
PRAYER VIGIL
HOUSTON - The Metropolitan
Community Church of the Resurrection
has scheduled a 24-hour AIDS Prayer
Vigil, to be held this Saturday, September 14, from 9 a.m. through Sunday at
9 a.m., a church spokesman told TWT
NEWS/Houston.
Members of the community are encouraged to participate in this prayer
vigil, along with their sisters and brothers of MCCR, to pray foracure for AIDS.
Those interested in participating
should call the church at (713)861-9149,
to sign up for times they can pray. The
vigil will be held in the church sanctuary at 1919 Decatur Street. Church
staff will be on hand the entire time of
the vigil.

STATEWIDE ANNUAL
BOAT CONFERENCE
AUSTIN - The annual statewide
conference of the Bar Owners Association of Texas headquartered in the state
Capitol at Austin will be held in
Houston next month, BOAT announced. The two-day meeting will be held
Tuesday and Wednesday, October 8
and 9 at the Allen Park Inn.
The conference will begin with a
board meeting Tuesday morning, 10
a.m. till noon, followed by the general
membership meeting at 1 p.m. "at
which time we'll elect five new board
members," BOAT president, B.K. Brittain, said. New board members will be
elected from Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Southeast Texas and Northeast
Texas.
"We will have three panel discussion
workshops," executive director and
senior lobbyist Bettie Naylor said.
"Each will deal with items that are of
primary interest to bar owners. There
are a lot of things that need sharing between bar owners in order to improve
business," Naylor told TWT NEWS.
The panels will deal with risk management, tax management and community affairs management, Brittain
stated. "Our risk management panel
will discuss things like insurance and
how to manage situations that occur in
a bar so they don't become problems
and risks," he explained.
"Our community affairs panel will
discuss Gay Pride Week involvement,
AIDS projects and customer relations,"
he said. "We intend to have follow-up
meetings in various cities with guest
speakers throughout the year."
Naylortold TWTNEWS that it's important to keep BOAT membership up in
preparation for the next legislative session. "I intend to spend the coming year
visiting each city and seeing each bar
personally so I can get to know their
problems," Naylor stressed.
A registration packet listing the conference agenda will be mailed to all
BOAT members this month.

MCCR SELECTING
NEW PASTOR
HOUSTON - The Metropolitan
Community Church of the Resurrection's board of directors, functioning as
a Pastor Search Committee,
announced its choice for senior pastor
this past week.
Rev. ElderJohn William Gill of MCC
Ft. Lauderdale will be presented to the
congregation this Sunday during the
morning service at 10:45 a.m., a church
spokesman told TWT NEWS/Houston.
He will be preaching at both morning
and evening services.
Rev. Gill has been in Houston since
Tuesday evening, meeting with the
board of directors, church staff and
committee chairpersons of MCCR.
Presently senior pastor at MCC Ft.
Lauderdale, a position he has held for
the past 9V2 years, Rev. Gill has also
served MCC Atlanta as pastor for four
years, and was director of youth activities in the Westfield Presbyterian
Church in Westfield, New Jersey.
PAGE 18
Before being chosen as senior pastor of MCCR, Rev. Gill must be voted
into that position by the congregation
in a special-called
congregational
meeting, immediately following this
Sunday's service. At that time, Rev. Gill
must receive an 85 percent positive endorsement.
FT. WORTH PRIDE
VERY SOLVENT
FORT WORTH - Again this year the
gay community of Fort Worth can be
very proud of its closely-knit Gay Pride
community because for the second
consecutive year, the committee's
funds remain solvent after all expenses
have been paid.
In financial information made available exclusively to TWT NEws/Fort
Worth it was revealed that FWGPW '85
has a balance of $2,334.63, to be used
to start next year's Gay Pride Week. Not
all cities have money left over.
"It's great to see our city's gay pride
grow the way it has in the past year,"
said Buddy Jones. "We have some
great things planned for '86."
As the committee heads into 1986,
new officers were elected at the August
19 meeting: Sharon Huber-re-elected
president; David Decker-vice
president; George Humphries-treasurer;
and Stan Phalp-secretary.
CANDIDATE NIGHT
AT HOLIDAY INN
HOUSTON - This city's Gay Political Caucus set about the task of quizzing the Novembercity election candidates last week in three days of scheduled screening, September 5-7.
At the September 4 meeting of
HGPC, there was concerned discussion over whether the caucus should
bend its rules to endorse candidates
who didn't come to the screening but
who had remained loyal to human
rights in the past. There was quite a
floor debate over the issue, Brian
Keever of TWT NEWS/Houston reported.
TLUT SEPTEMBER 13- SEPTEMBER 19 1985
The issue arose after it was pointed
out that some candidates may be gunshy of a gay endorsement since the gay
issue lost 4-to-1 at the polls last January. The backlash may produce some
political fallout resulting in fewer candidates openly seeking the HGPC
endorsement.
The next step in the political process
is for the screening committee, now
headed by Tom Tate, to make its recommendations on Wednesday, September
18at Candidates Night. That's when the
candidates in the November city election will speak before the caucus seek·
ing the HGPC endorsement. "Candidates Night will be at the HOliday Inn
South starting at 7:30 p.m.," HGPC
president, Sue Lovell, announced.
In other caucus developments, Dale
Beverly announced his resignation
from the board of directors. It was also

IN EL PASO
EL PASO - Lesbian/Gay Rights Advocates has scheduled a board meeting
in EI Paso on Saturday, September 14.
"The meeting is open to the public,"
LGRA co-chair John Sutton said from
his office in EI Paso.
There is no registration fee forthe allday session, said Sutton. The conference will start at 12:30 p.m. at MCC
church, 2201 Mills Avenue.
"Later that evening, EI Paso de Norte
business alliance, the local memberof
LGRA, will sponsor a reception to
honor LGRA board members at the residence of 1836 East Cliff," Sutton said.
The meeting will address the longterm goals and objectives of the gay
rights lobby group in Texas. "It'll be a
planning conference," he explained.
LGRA lobbyist Shelia Cheaney said,
in an exclusive interview with TWT
NEWS/Austin, that one of the main
POints will be the August 26 reversal on
TLUT SEPTEMBER 13- SEPTEMBER 19 1985
21.06. "Since all gay men and lesbians
are now once again criminals, the fundamentalists in Texas are going to read
this as a green light," she said.
The other co-chair, Pat Cramer,
agreed. "Whatever happens at the
Supreme Court level will have a momentus effect on what we can expect
in the next legislative session."
BAPTIST PASTOR
RESIGNS IN WACO
WACO - Local residents
were
stunned last week by the resignation
of the Rev. Don Crossland. 45, from the
2,200-member Highland Baptist Church
after an emotional Sunday night worship service during which he confessed
he had been having homosexual affairs
for several years.
Two of the affairs were with male
members of the congregation, he announced to the congregation.
But church members and neighbors
of the pastor in this heavily Baptist city
dominated by Baylor University ex·
pressed only good will toward a man
who led his congregation to rapid
growth. He is to be commended for being brave coming out, said one
member.
Crossland had been pastor of Highland, Waco's third largest Southern
Baptist Church, since 1974. The struqgle with his homosexual inclinations
began more than seven years ago when
church officials discovered he had had
an affair with a man.
Church leaders learned recently of a
young man who came to them and said
he had had an affair with Crossland.
Talking to this man and another one,
leaders learned Crossland had an affair
that began 2V2 years ago and a second
affaironly last month. Both young men
decided to confess after getting
counseling.
Crossland was summoned to a meeting with leaders of the deacons, where
he confirmed the men's stories and resigned. Crossland formally told the
congregation of his decision and his
homosexuality Sunday.

The Norm?
Dear TWT:
Once again the gay citizens of Houston
find themselves misrepresented by an
extreme individual in the political scene. I
am referring to the Aug. 30 edition of TWT
[Vol. 11, No. 23] where I read Don Sanders'
plans to run for mayor of Houston.
We know as a community that when Mr.
Sanders announces his plans for a
platform of atheism and pornography, the
media will cluster around him, spinning
their "Inquirer-like" headlines, and the
reputation of average gays and lesbians
will suffer another setback.
While I support Sanders' right to
freedom of expression and religion, I also
take the opportunity to express my
outrage that this off-the-wall plan for a
political career will surely do more harm
than good. I think gays and lesbians, for
the most part, are tired of extremists
being considered the norm for us.

Dear TWT:
In regards to the proposed announcement of Don Sanders (gay atheist) for
mayor of Houston, may I say:
Don suggests that an atheist platform
will show he is representative of "freedom
of thought." This line of reasoning could
be used by anyone with a particular point
of view to push. Being an atheist certainly
does not give one a corner on freedom of
thought.
Secondly, Don claims that his position
as a "part of the multi-billion pornography
industry" puts him in a wonderful position
to do battle with religious fundamentalists
and censors. Battle is not what we need,
Don. We could use some constructive,
thoughtful leaders (gay or straight) who
have at heart the interest of all people
that they represent, not just a narrow
constituency.
Don, what you are is the issue here and
YOU have made it the issue. You are not

saying that your election is important
because you have answers to the
necessary issues of life in Houston. You
are saying, "Elect a gay, atheistic,
pornographer so that I can tell off these
jerks who are getting in the way of what I
want to do and be." This may be your
personal crusade, and I wish you great
luck in achieving your personal goals in
life; however, I just wish you wouldn't do
it on a mayoral soapbox in front of glaring
TV cameras and say that you represent
any of us! You don't.

"1 Told You So!"
Dear TWT: '
I want to thank all of my gay brothers
and sisters who voted for Reagan for
giving me this opportunity to say-"I told
you so." We all know by now that six of
the nine judges who voted to uphold
21.06 were Reagan appointees. Sorry
about that, gay Republicans. It's so hard
to get any tears from this diehard, 100
percent Democrat. ...
I remember trying to push Mondale
bumper stickers in gay bars and gay
establishments and many times getting
hostile reactions from gay people. The
same gay people who have the same
belief as I do-Equal Rights.
Why couldn't gay people listen to me?
I am the same person who voted for
McGovern in '72 against Nixon. And I am
very proud of that, too. I still have five
MondalelFerraro stickers on one car, and
two on another car-and I display them
proudly.
Now, more than ever, we need Kathy
Whitmire for mayor! Please don't give me
another chance to say, "I told you so."
Let's get the vote out for Kathy, so we
don't go back 15 to 20 years with equal
rights. I am a volunteer for Kathy
Whitmire, whom I have backed and
pushed for since her election of 1977. I

Dear TWT:
A few words on the 21.06 decision:
An individual's sexual preference
should not be a crime in Texas, or
anywhere else in this nation. Those who
make it so, display a perversion we should
all unite against, or a new holocaust will
consume us, The right to privacy and
equal protection under the law are
constitutional issues which demand our
best efforts, We have a moral
responsibility to commit our resources to
the task ahead, and fight for freedom,
justice and liberty for all.
Thanks for the opportunity to speak out.

Dallas Diversity
Editor- The following letter was written
in response to Bill Nelson's (president,
Dallas Gay Alliance) editorial in Dialog
(DGA's monthly newsletter). The editorial
related to the community meeting with
city councilpersons Lori Palmer and
Craig Holcomb, which took place on
August 22 at Oak Lawn Library,
DearTWT:
I also attended the Thursday, August 22
meeting, I must have attended a different
meeting than you, or perhaps you didn't
listen to the people as they introduced
themselves, I thought the 50 to 60 people
who attended represented a cross section
of the gay community. As officers in the
different organizations, I assume they are
elected by their membership, not selfappointed as you noted.
Yes, unfortunately there were some
organizations not represented; but as
some organizations only meet once or
twice a month, perhaps they had no time
TWT SEPTEMBER
13- SEPTEMBER
to receive or react to the invitation. And
yes I think we all can honestly say no one
group or person represents, as you have
stated, our diverse community.
If this group of people did not show the
diversity of our community, you must be
dealing with a different community than I
am.
Yes, I also hope the next meeting and
any other future meetings include even
more representatives from all groups .
Yes, we should all put aside personal
agendas, not just use the line as rhetoric,
I also believe that those attending the
gathering were very forthright and honest;
otherwise, most would not have been
around as long as they have been.
As far as the issue of the city ordinance
was concerned, I believe most if not all,
expressed support for the idea of an
ordinance, A concern was a division of
resources, As far as concrete suggestions,
I for one thought the approach of an
ordinance against discrimination against
people with AIDS as Los Angeles has
done was a positive approach, Mr.
Holcomb and Ms. Palmer are to be
commended, and I for one look forward to
future meetings as more & more positive
input is made,

Protect Ourselves
Dear TWT:
As a newcomer to Dallas from Oklahoma City, I was shocked to read recently
of numerous anti-gay attacks and muggings near our bars. I had thought a larger
city such as Dallas would have established safeguards against such attacks.
As a victim of such an attack in OKC,
may I suggest that local bar and business
owners follow the example of OKC's
businessmen, Hire security officers to
patrol the areas with a high concentration
of gay clubs, Or, in lieu of that, form a gay
patrol with volunteers experienced in
martial arts or self-defense,
Publicize these steps in the "straight"
news media, and erect signs and posters
advising potential assailants that we as a
community will protect our persons and
property with force, if necessary. If we do
not protect ourselves and obtain the
respect of our enemies, things will only
get worse.

HEALTH
"I WANT TO GIVE OTHERS HOPE"
PERSON WITH AIDS ENTERS "SUPERMAN"
FIFTH IN A SERIES OF ROAD-TO-RECOVERY
Louie Nassaney, a person with AIDS (PWA), was sponsored
by AIDS Project Los Angeles lor the "Superman '86" contest which was held September 7 at the Hollywood
Palladium.
Louie Nassaney, diagnosed as having
AIDS over two years ago, is an atypical
person with AIDS. He has been in remission for one year, and is the proverbial
"picture of health." So good is his health
and emotional condition that the AIDS
Project Los Angeles decided to sponsor him in the "Superman '86" contest
held last Saturday, September 7 in West
Hollywood at the Hollywood Palladium.
Nassaney has a well-developed physique and deep tan, and although he
does not resemble Clark Kent, he was
certainly a strong contender forthe contest. "Superman '86" was a local "beauty pageant" for males, involving a bathing suit, blue jeans and interview
competition.
CONTEST
STORIES
"I used to look awful," admits Nassaney, who professes to have been underweight and has a small scar on his
leg where a lesion used to be. "After I
was first diagnosed, I realized I had to
make a drastic change in my Ijfe. I started eating better, getting more rest, and
opened up to my parents ... I told them
that I was gay and that I had AIDS the
same day. That was traumatic forthem,
but they came to my support. So did my
friends. And two years later, I'm doing
really well."
"Louie's case is rare, but it certainly
provides hope for other persons with
AIDS," says Bill Misenhimer, executive
director of the AIDS Project Los Angeles. "Positive thinking and sheer will
power seemed to have played a major
part in his remission."
As there is neither a cure nor a vaccine, Nassaney has sought, as have
many others, to find treatment outside
the orthodox medical establishment.
Nassaney attributes his near-miraculous
recovery to metaphysical therapy, which
relies on the premise that positive, supportive and healing thoughts boost the
immune system.
"My metaphysical therapy has given
me such a sense of well-being that I am
convinced this is what has saved me. I
certainly would recommend therapy to
anybody, although no one can promise
that it will work for a specific person. All
I know is that it has worked for me.
"My purpose in entering the Superman contest was to show others what
a person with AIDS can achieve, or for
that matter, anybody with a serious
health problem. I want to give others
hope," he said.

PIC TU(fc
OF
DORIAN
6AY
No doubt most of us are familiar with
Oscar Wilde's classic tale of Dorian
Gray. The story deals with the darke
side of man's nature, and disproves th
adage, it's what's up front that counts
In Dorian's case, what you saw was no
really what you got. Old Dorian had
"special" picture of himself. A paintin
that he kept locked away. He had mad
a rather nasty bargain with the devil. H
would stay young and pretty, while th
portrait got old, ugly, and monstrous
The portrait, you see, reflected Dor
TWT SEPTEMBER 13- SEPTEMBER 19 198~
KALEIDOSCOPE
bu David V. Meunier
ian's true personality, and it just wasn't
pretty. In the end, time ran out for
Dorian, and as these things tend to happen, it all caught up with him. Dorian
became a burn-out. Too much excess
of everything. The picture was restored
showing a young, handsome Dorian,
and Dorian ... well, he ended up looking like a bad acid trip. Ah, but you ask,
is there a lesson here for today's modern gay man? I'm glad you asked, because it was my desire to find out if
there was a correlation here. Is there
such a thing as the Dorian Gay type?
However, not having the expertise
myself to delve into such weighty matters, I realized I must seek professional
help. Through friends I was able to learn
of-C.R.O.T.C.H. (Cruise Research Organization To Change Habits), a special
government agency located in a large
Texas city. Because of the delicate nature of the organization's work, we won't
specify their exact location.
Using some of my connections, I was
able to place a call and speak at some
length with Dr. Bancroft Basket. Dr.
Basket is the director of the organization and a world renowned author. If you
haven't read his book, View From a Bar,
you simply must obtain a copy. It's rapidly becoming the Bible of the cruise
crowd. It examines in great detail some
of the issues that have plagued gay men
since the beginning of time. It is especially appropriate in this age of liberatlon where cruising has become an art
form. For example, chapter three explores such vital questions as: Why do
vou only see hot men as you are leavIng or entering a bar, but never inside?
Why is it when you are with your parents, straight co-workers, or a real
woman, someone attractive decides to
cruise you? etc.
Anyway, Dr. Basket graciOUSlyinvited
me out to the institute for a tour and a
chance to pursue my question. He def-
TUiT SEPTEMBER 13-
SEPTEMBER 19 1985
initely assured me there is a Dorian Gay
type. At the last moment I asked my
friends Denny and Beau to accompany
me. I was a little nervous going alone
and thought the exposure to science
would do them good.
I drove, and Danny played navigator.
Beau passed the time winking at cute
men at red lights.
"This is it!" Denny yelled, pointing to
a 24-hour donut shop.
"It can't be," muttered Beau, "it looks
like a Winchell's."
I, however, was not fooled. I really
hadn't expected a huge flashing neon
sign proclaiming "CROTCH."
"Don't worry," I said. "This is a top
secret government
organization.
Naturally they would operate through a
front. Besides, I'm starving. Let's go
check it out."
Sure enough, the minute I mentioned Dr. Basket's name to the counter girl,
she dropped a tray of donuts on the floor
and led us through the kitchen to an
elevator door.
"I hope she's not gonna try and sell
those donuts," Denny whispered, as the
door clanged shut behind us. Somewhere, in the bowels of the earth, we
disembarked and were met by a tall,
thin, blonde woman, who explained she
was Dr. Basket's assistant, Penelope.
"The doctor is expecting you," she
smiled, "and will be with you momentarily. Would you care for a donut while
you wait? We get a great deal on dayold products," Penelope informed us as
she passed a tray beneath our noses.
Not wanting to be rude, we each took
several. In no time we were ushered into Dr. Basket's study. He was a jollylooking, heavyset man with a bushy
beard. As he introduced himself, he
wiped the lenses of his glasses on his
tie. He informed us that in orderto save
time he had prepared a film that would
get right to the heart of the matter.

Do you feel you're constantly "on the verge"? Does your life seem
emotionally stuck in neutral?
You could be experiencing biochemical depression and no amount
of good fortune will give you the charge you need to feel good
about life or yourself. It is estimated that 25% of all women and
10% of all men will experience biological depression.

"Lights, please," he motioned to
Penelope as the screen came down.
"What you will see today will at first appear to be your typical bar scene, but,
instead of dweling on a handsome
hunk's exterior, we will actually go inside and see what conditions are like
there. This is all simulated of course,"
he beamed.
"Kinda like Fantastic Voyage?" I
inquired.
"Precisely", he nodded.
While Denny and Beau were fighting
over who would play the Raquel Welch
part, the film began. We were in a bar
that looked suspiciously like the one
I was in Saturday night. The camera
panned a row of men and zeroed in on
one hot number.
"Wow!" Beau exclaimed "What a
basket!"
"Yes?" Dr. Basket said, turning to
Beau.
"He said fantastic," I smiled, and
kicked Beau in the shin.
"Well, you won't think so in a moment. Let's take a look inside," Dr.
Basket said, as we found ourselves in
a long dark tunnel.
"Now, we'll start at the top. This is the
brain."
"It looks like the cheese factory we
toured in Vermont last summer," I
gasped.
"Yes, this man has apparently used
acid to excess, and drinks quite heavily, so the brain resembles Swiss cheese.
Millions of brain cells have died, and at
the rate he's going, Arlington National
Cemetery won't be able to hold a candie to him," Dr. Basket chuckled. "Now
let's have a look at the lungs."
I experienced a sinking sensation. We
sat in stunned silence as Dr. Basket
POinted out formations not unlike the
LaBrea tar pits. "Tsk, tsk, obviously a
heavy smoker," Dr. Basket commented,
as I tried to push my Benson and
Hedges further down into my shirt
pocket.
"It's probably a combination of marijuana and cigarettes ... ," the doctor
was saying when Denny interrupted.
"Ugh! What are those other gross
spots?"
"Oh, those? ... possibly due to
poppers .... "
"Poppers!"
Beau screamed and
threw his bottle of Rapid-Rush across
the room where it landed in a cage of
white mice, killing three on impact. As
Penelope frantically tried mouth-tomouth resuscitation on the surviving
mice, we proceeded on to the liver.
"Now, that scar tissue shows us this
man has had hepatitis, and of course his
drinking hasn't helped. Let's tour the
colon and the rectum," Dr. Basket announced pleasantly.
I will not inflict you with the visual horrors we witnessed next. Sufficient to
say, Denny threw up and Beau passed
out. When the lights came back on, Dr.
Basket began to summarize.
"So you see, gentlemen, there is a
classic Dorian Gay type. Many gay men
appear healthy to the untrained eye, but,
in reality, they have abused their bodies
to the point that it is only a matter of
time before they will have serious and
perhaps life-threatening medical problems. The body's immunity system just
cannot withstand a constant barrage
against it."
"But ... but ... but what can we do?"
I stammered.
"The very things CROTCH stands for.
Learn to change your habits. Better
nutrition, exercise, moderation in
alcohol and other substances, for
example."
We spent many more hours at
C.R.O.T.C.H.learning how to be healthy
homosexuals. Believe me, it was a
somber trio on the drive home.
"That was pretty heavy," Denny said,
breaking the silence.
"I'll say" was all I could say.
"Boy! I could use a good stiff drink,"
Beau exclaimed from the back seat.
"Good idea!" We all shouted, and
headed towards our favorite bar.
Oh well, old habits die hard, but better your habits should die than you. So
take a few minutes now and then to analyze whether you're painting a "special" picture like old Dorian Gray. I can
guarantee you ... it won't be pretty.\\W

Arthur Frederick Ide has written oyer
200 books concerning woman's role in
politics,
culture,
religion
and
philosophy.
A large part of his other
works have been on the cultural history
and references to homosexuality
up
through modern times. This latest book,
Gomorrah & the Rise of Homophobia,
charts the sources of ignorance, hate
and intolerance
that give rise to the
virulent bigotry and anti-intellectualism
of today.
H is other book, about Sodom and Gomorrah, focused on the origin of religion's distortion of the original Biblical
scriptures written in Greek. This book
focuses on the attitudes of the day as
they changed during the rise of ChrlstiTWT SEPTEMBER 13- SEPTEMBER 19 1985
anity and the fall of the Roman Empire ..
The main sources of intolerance were
from the embattled Jewish tribes and
the early Christian
religionists,
but
curiously, not from Jesus Christ or his
direct disciples.
Very clearly the Jews had to reproduce and enlarge their group or be conquered. Moreover, they had to set themselves apart and distinguish themselves
from other multi-theistic
or pagan religions. All the other religions were more
populous and took no notice of sex between men. As Rome began to decline,
and people began to look for scapegoats, the early Christian religion took
the lead in persecuting
persons who
had homosexual affairs out of lust.
Though homosexual marriages and
weddings were still held, based on love
and not lust, even this did not deter the
hatemongers. Through this section of
the book, Ide carefully draws parallels
to modern day fundamentalism
represented by Jerry Falwell. The economic
conditions of Rome at the time were not
too dissimilar to our present-day situaPRGE 39
tlon. The seeds of homophobia are thriving today as they thrived then.
Those seeds were formed by the extreme zenophobla (fear of foreigners)
and misogyny (discounting and denigration of women). New ideas brought by
strangers were not tolerated; anything
that smacked of a woman's form or position was immediately condemned. Two
men together automatically meant
"pagan" and/or one of the "men" had
to be a woman.
Those same Ignorant attitudes have
lasted down through the centuries, propelled and preserved by the Bible. That
Jesus Christ said nothing against the
sex between men is ignored. Institutionalized religion and its keepers,
"Christ"-Ians, have been shown to defy
Christ's teachings and His tolerance
and all-embracing love.
Ide's book is not technical. There is
little or no Greek stanzas to slow the
pace of the book. If people are to preserve the freedoms the Christians plan
to eradicate, people must learn the
lessons of history and act. This is what
Ide's book inspires the reader to do, with
his calm, reasoned prose.
Gomorrah & the Rise of Homophobia
contains copious notes, references and
an index, completely documenting Ide's
work. His is a scholarly work, yet one
which touches our emotions and our
concerns.

VINYL FLASH
by Mardi Coleman
There have been lots of exceptionally good new import releases in the past
two weeks.
"Midnight Radio" by Taffy on Ibiza
Records, Italy (122 bpm). Although the
label titles the song "Midnight Radio,"
the cover reads 'I Love My Radio." Very
hot! The keyboard arrangements are
outstanding-complex
classic Italian
synth sound. The special effects are exciting and imaginative. The rhythm programming has a smooth, consistent
energy.
The B-side is an instrumental dub-mix
"Rough" version. The additional guitar
tracks give this mix a more "rock"
feeling.
"Stop This Rumor," backed with "The
Alphabet" by Spelt Like This, on EMI
Records, U.K. "Stop This Rumor" (148
bpm) is exciting Hi-NRG Dance with a
British new-rock flavor. Many of the
rhythm phrases sound like "Premonition" by Bonnie Pointer.
The B-side, "The Alphabet" (126bpm),
sounds rhythmically like several of the
Frankie Goes to Hollywood releases.
The haunting melody reminds me of the
classic "Living on the Ceiling" by Blancmange (which was just re-released in
remix form as the B-side of their latest
single, "What's Your Problem," which,
by the way, is very good!
"Alphabet" also features a voice
Simulator effect similar to Kraftwerke's
ComputerWorld LP. The lyrics are also
very clever. The overall energy effect is

like "Pleasure Dome" meets "Pocket
Calculator."
"The Great Divide" by Portion Control on Rhythmic Records, U.K. (124
bpm).lncredible piece. The rhythm programming is very similar, although
faster, to "Ave Maria" by West India Co.
This is my current number one import.
The vocal arrangements are very European rock-similar
to, but smoother
than, the Dead or Alive style. This cut
has the potential to be a monster dance
hit.
"Jolene" by Strawberry Switchblade,
on KorovalWEA Records, U.K. (127
bpm). Too hot! This is a Euro-dance
remake of the Dolly Parton country
classic. The production is fabulousthe mix is clean and sophisticated, and
the energy is consistent and flowing.
The arrangements are elegant-very
tasteful use of synth-strings and vocal
dub effects. Undoubtedly the best release from this group yet.
"007" by The Bondettes, On Sound
Shop Records, Germany(141 bpm). This
cut sounds like a take-off on the classic
Lime cut "Your Love," but has a rhythm
very similarto "High Sex Drive" by Dolmann. This is Hi-NRG dance music all
the way. The rhythm programming is
very exciting-guaranteed
to please
even the most discriminating dance
floor. With the right promotion and
availability, this cut could be a huge hit.
And finally, one of the hottest dance
albums of the year, The Greatest Hits
by lime, on Unidisk Records, Canada,
features seven of Lime's greatest hits,
all completely remixed. Fantastic! All
the intro and break rhythms have been
reworked to allow for easier mixing and
overlays. Every cut on the album is a
classic-if
you've ever wanted but
couldn't find some of these rare andlor
out-of-print treasures, then this is the
album for you. A "must have" for any
serious dance music collector.

KISS
O~ TW~SPID~~ WOMAN
Reviewed by Harry Deutsch
Queen of Hearts
This is one of those rare films you'll
take with you after you leave the theater.
Kiss of the Spider Woman is composed
of a variety of stirring, deeply moving
moments. There is some of the touching
tenderness we found in Bent; it has the
power to make us feel uncomfortable,
like a Dog Day Afternoon; and there are
the brutal harshness and human frustrations of a Midnight Express.
In short, this is a powerhouse of emotions and controversies brought across
and made real by an exceptional cast of
players. Or, if I were to describe this effort by Brazilian director Hector Babenco in one word only, I'd opt for brilliant.
William Hurt is Molina, a fairly flamboyant homosexual who occupies a
Suite in the slammer of some South
American country for impairing the
morals of a minor. He shares his crudeIYdecorated surroundings with Valentin
Arregui (Raul Julia) whose crimes are of
the political kind. The two cellmates

could not be further apart in their
previous lifestyles and convictions.
Most of the two-hour action takes
place just within that one-room confinement. Boring, you think? Think again.
Frequent clashes are inevitable, raw
emotions and naked sensitivities are
bound to explode until human kindness
is the only healing there is.
This is a thrilling movie chess game.
Largely responsible is Manuel Puig, an
acclaimed Latin American author who
wrote the original Spider novel, which
contains dialogue only. Notable directors such as Fassbinder had sought his
OK to film some of his works, and after
this melodramatic tourde force, we get
the picture as to why all this interest.
Molina is something of a B-movie
buff. To pass the time and ease the hardships he starts describing his favorite
atrocious flick, scene by scene and in
luscious detail. The fact that it's an obvious wartime Nazi propaganda piece
doesn't faze Molina in the least; he's
more concerned with the way his heroine dresses and, above all, the blond
good looks of the Hitlerian hero. When
PAGE 47
Valentin points out how political and
sexual deviants were treated in the
clutch of the Reich, Molina replies, "I
don't explain my movies; it ruins the
emotion."
At the risk of ruining your emotion, be
forewarned that MOlinaexplains himself
as the stereotypical woman in a man's
body. He shrugs off the minor detail that
there's something between his legs.
"It's just an accident. If I had the courage
I'd cut it off." He's looking for a real man,
yet is convinced that a real man would
never get involved with someone like
him. So he plays the "woman" role with
varying degrees of confidence.
Meanwhile, the decidedly more
macho Valentin starts preaching to his
prison partner not to let anyone ever degrade him. He learns from Molina that
the power of imagination can overcome
tribulation. The Spider chess game involves many more intricacies, including
a queen sacrifice and the king's conditional rescue, but going into detail here
would only destroy much of the drama.
Mr. Hurt in his role won the best actor prize at Cannes this year; he deserves to be a prominent Oscar contender as well. His portrayal is flawless,
moving and always honest to his character. Mr. Julia is excellent as a man of
unfaltering political beliefs whose world
is a world apart to that of his cell mate.
Brazilian actress Sonia Braga has three
parts to act out. She is particularly convincing and rightfully overacts, though
lacking the proper accent, as the French
B-chanteuse who is melodramatically
drawn by the Fuehrer's philosophies.
The film fantasies that are interwoven
have a mysterious look and perfectly illustrate the oasis quality of the inmates'
mindgames.
Mr. Babenco, in his first attempt to go
after the American market directly,
found a theme of genuine love and
integrity.
The verdict: I absolutely loved it (9out
of 10).

FarmAid-(/
to r) Lou Reed, Jonl Mitchell, Rickie Lee Jones.
MERRY MELODIES-Can you imagine Joni Mitchell, Rickie Lee Jones
and Lou Reed singing for American
farmers? I mean, has Lou Reed ever
even seen a silo? Well maybe it isn't that
strange, because in addition to the
somewhat urbane likes of Joni, Rickie
and good 01' Lou we'll get to see a few
dozen other music greats during the upcoming "FarmAid" concert to be held
at the University
of Illinois
on
September 22. Organized by (who else?)
Willie Nelson, the 12-hourfundraiserfor
American farmers will be televised live
by cable's Nashville Network and
should generate much of the same kind
of excitement that surrounded this summer's "Live Aid" extravaganza. Among
the numerous expected guests: Loret·
ta Lynn, Charlie Pride, Lacy J. Dalton,
Alabama, the Charlie Daniels Band, Bob
Dylan, Billy Joel, Neil Young, Kenny
Rogers, the Beach Boys, and everyone
else's grandmother .... Still another
staggering line-up was assembled for an
anti-apartheid record called "Sun City,"
which is intended as a protest against
those artists who have performed at the
South African resort. This project was
masterminded
by Little Steven (a
Springsteen crony) and features contributions from such artists as Pat
Benatar, Jackson Browne, Jimmy Cliff,
Nona Hendryx, George Clinton, Bonnie
Raitt, Darlene Love, David RuffinL Eddie
Kendricks, Bono (of U2), Joey Ramone
(of the Ramones), and, you guessed it,
Lou Reed.... Fans of Stephen Son·
dheim musicals have bitched for years
over the fact that there has never been
a complete recording of the score for
Follies, Sondheim's rather underrated
1971 musical. Those fans can now rejoice, or riot, or do whatever they want
to do to celebrate RCA Red Seal's
recently recorded "concert performance" of the Show, which, incidentally, took place September 6 and 7 in New
York at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher
Hall. Now, our friend Lou Reed will
definitely not be a part of the deluxe
$19.95recording, but you will get to hear
the New York Philharmonic Orchestra
backing such voices as Carol Burnett,
Mandy Patinkin, Elaine Stritch, Betty
Comden, Adolph Green, George Hearn,
Lee Remick, Liz Calloway and Arthur
Rubin.... Lee Remick??? .. On their
new Live at the Apollo Album, Hall &
Oates revive their original version of
"Everytime You Go Away" -a song that
recently hit No. 1 for Paul Young.
Former Temptations David Ruffin and
Eddie Kendricks (who know a thing or
two about the legendary Apollo) also
turn up on the album .... Diana Ross
gets some help from Michael Jackson
and Bee Gees on her new album Eaten
Alive.... Stevie Wonder's new In Square
Circle set is his first studio album in
almost five years .... Kenny Rogers
worked with ex-BeatJes producer
George Martin on his new album The
Heart of the Matter .... Jane Wiedlln
becomes the first ex-Go·Go to release
a solo album-it's
called Jane
Wiedlin ... With her new single, "Running Up That Hill," Britain's Kate Bush
may finally break big on this side of the
Atlantic .... Out of San Francisco
comes (20 years after psychedelia)
another new musical movement. It's
called "World Beat" and among its
purveyors are such bands as the
looters, Big City, and Zulu Spear.
(Maybe Lou Reed and Lee Remick could
do a duet with Zulu Spear backing
them.)... And for the desperate there's
the Village People'S new single "Sex on
the Phone." It has already hit in Florida.
Where else?
RAMBLING ROSE-Christmas
is
TlUT SEPTEMBER 13-
SEPTEMBER 19 1985
coming up in just a few months, you
know, and I'm sure that there must be
at least one hateful person on your holiday gift list. Don't worry about
shopping-October's
schedule for
videocassette releases provides us with
an opportunity we'd be fools to pass up.
Give all the jerks you know a tape called The Dr. Ruth Video: Terrific Sex. It'll
sell for $39.98, and, believe it or don't,
the thing features a "simulated therapy
session," whatever-the-hell that is. On
the other hand, you might hold out for
Breakdancin' With Mother Theresa.
(Just kidding.) ... This is pretty frightening too: Frankie Valli is a guest star on
one of the new Miami Vice episodes.
. ... Remember Evelyn Keyes, who
played Scarlett's bitchy sister in 1939's
Gone With the Wind? Well, word has it
that Evelyn (aka Suellen) is writing a
screenplay based on her 1971novel I Am
a Billboard. I didn't even know she'd
written a novel. What's more, Tab
Hunter is producing the movie .... Col.
leen Dewhurst and Richard Farns.
worth are in a 4-hour Canadian miniseries based on Anne of Green
Gables-which might not mean shit to
you, but that happens to be my favorite
brat book .... Fever Pitch, the new Ryan
O'Neal film directed
by Richard
Brooks, features music by Quincy Jones
and Thomas Dolby .... Remember
George Chakiris, who won an Oscar for
his supporting role in the 1961film West
Side Stoiy? He's set for a few appearances on Dallas this season .... A
made-for-TVmovie you can look forward
to sometime next season: Stone Pillow,
starring Lucille Ball in a realistic portrayal of a bag lady living on the streets
of Manhattan .... And still another
reason to like Grace Jones: After contributing some vocals to a recording by
still another Duran Duran spin-off group,
she reportedly donated her fees to the
AIDS Medical Foundation.

SPECIAL REPORT
--l
by
Billie Duncan
"AIDS is one of two or three things
I think are major issues," said Ted
Swindley, artistic director of Stages in
Houston. "I think it's part of theatre's
job to address these issues."
Some of the best theatre in history
has been issue-oriented, and the current
AIDS crisis has brought about not only
good theatre, but an active response
from members of the entertainment
community at large-an effort to step
in and help raise dollars as well as consciousness to battle a politically unpopular disease.
So far in Texas, it has mostly been the
gay community theatres that have tried
to put an emphasis on the crisis by committing much of their energy into fundraising for various AIDS organizations.
Diversity Theater in Houston, Theatre
Gemini in Dallas and, certainly, the Safe
Sex Players in Austin have all participated in using their theatrical talents to get
people to open their pocketbooks.
But, as Human Rights Fund Co-chair
Vivian Shapiro recently said, "The
amount of work done by the lesbian and
gay community has been overwhelming,
but only the federal government has the
resources to combat this devastating
disease."
And the federal government has been
sluggish, to say the least, in manning
the troops for a war against AIDS and
PAGE 58
ARC.
Playwright William M. Hoffman,
whose play about a PWA (Person With
AIDS) is currently on Broadway, said in
an article in The New York Times that
"during the polio epidemic, as during
the Tylenol and Legionnaire's Disease
scares, the media and the government
committed themselves wholeheartedly
to the side of the victims. In the early
eighties, with few exceptions, the main
concern of people outside of the gay
community was reassuring themselves
that it was only happening to 'them,' and
not 'us.' I felt isolated from society in
a way I had never felt before."
While Hoffman's As Is is playing on
Broadway, Larry Kramer's The Normal
Heart is showing at the Public Theatre.
Kramer was a founder of the Gay Men's
Health Crisis (GMHC) in New York, but
he was unhappy with that organization's
low-key strategies in dealing with the
city government, so he left.
Still, according to an insert in the Normal Heart program written by Rodger
McFarlane, executive directorof GMHC,
the organization and Kramer do not dlsagree on the facts surrounding the
crisis.
Said McFarlane, "What has gone on
in Washington, at the National Institutes
of Health, and the Department of Health
and Human Services, and at the Centers
for Disease Control throughout this epidemic is a subject worthy of the investi·

gative talents of Woodward and Bernstein. Like Love Canal or Three Mile
Island or Superfund, the economic priorities of AIDS have been pitted directly against the Interests of public health.
The sloth of federal bureaucracy and the
ruthlessness of political agenda have
combined for particularly
sinister
effect."
So, what has happened in the past in
response to major issues is happening
now: Activists are turning to theatre to
express their views, while theatrical
people are becoming activists.
The AIDS Medical Foundation (AMF)
has a national council that includes Paul
Newman, Joanne Woodward, Woody AlIen, Michael Bennett, Leonard Bernstein, Tommy Tune, Alan King, Marilyn
Horne and Arthur Miller.
And performers are giving not only
their names and their time to the cause;
they are giving their talents. "Comic
Relief" raised over $300,000 for AMF
this past May 19,at the Shubert Theatre.
Produced by Lorne Michaels and cochaired by Bemard B. Jacobs, Gerald
Schoenfeld and Joseph Papp, the show
featured Mike Nichols and Elaine May,
Joan Rivers, Steve Martin, Gregory
Hines, Randy Newman, Phil Donahue,
Penny Marshall, Neil Simon, Penn &
Teller, The Weather Girls and the Sacred
Heart Gospel Choir.
In July, the Fire Island Pines Benefit
Committee, co-chaired by Ron English
and John Whyte, raised $200,000 for
AMF with the help of Peter Allen, Ellen
Foley, Dorothy Loudon, Gotham and
Anne Meara.
Said Allen, "Everybody has to do
something. The public must be galvanized so that more dollars are put immediately into research and care to stop
this terrible loss of human potential.
Everybody is at risk unless more money
is raised."
But, as great as those figures are,
they are only a drop in a very large
bucket-a bucket that should be filled
by our government.
In response to the urgent need for
federal funding for research and patient
care, the AIDS Campaign Trust (ACT)
was formed as an arm of the Human
Rights Campaign Fund committed to
helping elect members of the House
and Senate who will actively work to obtain full funding of the AIDS-related
needs of the nation.
Marty and Marylea Richards, producers of La Cage Aux Folies, hosted the
kickoff of ACT last month. The benefit
committee included Edward Albee,
Craig Claiborne, Betty Comden, Jerry
Herman, George Plimpton, Lanford
Wilson and AMF director Dr. Mathilde
Krim.
ACT will hold fundraising dinners this
fall in New York, Boston, Washington,
San Francisco and Dallas. For information, write: ACT, clo Human Rights Campaign Fund, P.O. Box 1396,Washington,

CARL

Barbie and Ken (and Ken),paper dolls,
comics, Tom Selleck and the color
pink-these are the passions of Lance
Rayburn.
Lance arrived for the interview and
photo session wearing what you see on
TWT'scover this week. But I doubt the
printing has done him (or his rainbow
of colors) justice-his
socks are chartreuse; his sneakers are bright pink,
which match the band-aid on his left arm
and the button above Tom Selleck's
head; and his glasses are tinted-what
else-pink.
He "painted" the flowers and Tom
Selleck on his shirt with magic markers.
I began the interview by asking him
when this magic began.
LANCE - I drew a picture of my
mother when I was 2 years old, and I put

don't even make socks anymore."
RAVBURN
His fascination with comics appeared
somewhat later. His grandfather was a
railroad stationmaster, who greeted
Elvis Presley, Humphrey Bogart and
others when they came into Ft. Worth.
His grandfather's secretary was Lance's
mother. And they were always bringing
comics home, one of which was Boots
and Her Buddies, which had a paper
doll.
"Later," he said, "I fell in, love with
Brenda Starr, but Mary Perkins is my favorite, and Juliet Jones .... At one time
when I was in college, I was taking in
nine newspapers on weekdays; then on
Sundays, I would really go wild. I would
cut out the comics and file them. But
I have '79 to present still uncut laying
flat in a stack about up to my navel,
wherever that is."
At some point, Lance discarded a lot
of his comics, but he kept all his fashion
comics, including Katy Keene.
LANCE - Did you read Katy Keene?
TWT- No.
LANCE - How old are you?
TWT- 38.

FIRE OF THE WEEK - Or should it
be scandal of the week? The candid
camera photo above of Paul Lewis
was literally stolen by HOT TEA
out of his apartment in Dallas while he
and Denis Weir were in Houston for
last week's grand opening of Heaven.
Girl, their rent-a-car literally burned to
the ground while en route up
Westheimer, in front of the Chicken
Coop. But Coop regulars Jerry Bird and
Jim Chappell claim they didn't see any
fire. Incidentally, "Is it true that the Coop
now rents out showers?" asked Bunch
Brittain who was also seen last week at
the Coop!

YEAROFOX - It's interesting to note that in Chinathis isthe year of the Ox-bright,
patient and inspiring to others who can be happy by themselves, yet make an outstanding parent. Those born in the year of the Ox (1949, 1961, 1973 and 1985) will
be best to marry someone born in the year of the Snake (1953,1965 and 1977) or
in the year of the Coek (1945,1957, and 1969). If an Ox marries someone born in
the year of the Sheep (1943,1955,1967 or 1979), trouble in the relationship is indicated by the Chinese Zodiac-consisting of a 12-year cycle with each year named
after one of a dozen animals.

September 22. It is at this point in the calendar that the nights begin to become longer
