TWT MARCH 29 - APRIL 4 1985 TWT MARCH 29 - APRIL 4 1985 AUSTIN - State Senator Craig WaShington has filed a far-reaching bill in the 69th session of the Texas Legislature which would protect gay job rights. His proposed legislation would prohibit employment discrimination against homosexuals in Texas. Although the filing of his bill made front-page headlines last week in many state newspapers, TWT NEWS has learned from reliable sources at the state capitol in Austin that his bill is "really not new. "I remember in 1975 when Craig stood before the house and proposed this exact same bill," HGPC board member Ray Hill explained. "There were many good 01' boy catcalls back then. But Craig's bill made it to the house floor where it got only six votes. "Interestingly, Houston City Councilperson Ben Reyes voted for it back then along with Mickey Leeland and Anthony Hall," Hill recalled. "But this time the bill will never make it to the floor I suspect. It will quietly die in a Capitol Hill committee." "Craig has filed similar bills in the past as simply a matterof principal. He believes that gays should not be discriminated against," it was explained. After all, Washington was the treasurer of Citizens for a United Houston-the pro-gay group of the January 19 gay rights job protection referendum. Olivia Walker, an aide to the senator, underscored Washington's sincere belief in the bill when she explained, "There were some requests from some constituents in Houston, and he thought that was a cause that needed to be addressed." Reaction was quick from Houston where a gay rights job protection referendum was recently easily PAGE 11 i\ Hey Mr. D.J;.,I The story is~over I let _the dream fade away and mix it with;~Qnother. "# DJ's - David King, , - Michael Lower Illumination _ Scott Moses V ide 0 / yf A lJ s 404 Colorado - T'I .: C" ,,) 1"1 defeated by voters, 4-to-1. Councilperson John Goodnerwho led the opposition to ban discrimination in Houston said, "I am disappointed" that he filed such a bill. "I would hope the Legislature doesn't pass the thing." Goodner told reporter Clay Robison of the Houston Chronicle's Austin bureau that he would ask the city of Houston to go on record against the legisla~ion. "I certainly think this bill would affect the city of Houston since it is an extension of the same program the city's electorate just spoke on back on January 19," Goodnertold KTRH radio news reporter, Sue Davis. Gay rights lobbyist, SheliaCheaney, said her Austin group, Lesbian/Gay Rights Advocates, would naturally monitor the progress of Washington's pro-gay bill. Meanwhile, the editorial director of Houston's KTRH-Radio, Garvin Berry, commented on Washington's proposed bill to ban discrimination against gays in all jobs in Texas-both governmental and private. "It's not likely to pass," commented Berry, "but if it does, it will presumably go into effect in late August, just when Houston's city election races heat up. "That is not good political news for Mayor Kathryn Whitmire and Anthony Hall and the other councilmembers who favored the gay rights ordinance. All of this makes Houston's volatile city politics even more explosive this November," Berry concluded his 50,000-watt radio commentary. COOKSEY CAMPAIGN FOR AUSTIN MAYOR AUSTIN - When it came time to endorse candidates for the April 6 mayor's race, the ALGPC had little hesitation in endorsing Frank Cooksey over incumbent Ron Mullen for mayor of the city of Austin. "Frank has always been astrong civil rights and minority rights supporter since the 1960s, back in Atlanta," Roy Harbison of ALGPC explained to TWT TWT MARCH 29 - APRIL 4 1985 512-473-2501 NEWS/Austin. Furthermore, his opponent, incumbent Mullen, has said he doesn't support current gay rights laws. Two years ago when Mullen ran against Lowell Libermann, most local gay club owners endorsed Libermann. Although ALGPC made a soft recommendation of Mullen, the caucus never officially endorsed him. Unlike last time, there clearly is no confusion over whom to endorse this election year. Cooksey is the choice. But it promises to be a tight four-way race .. The latest public opinion poll in Austin shows Mullen and Cooksey running neck and neck with about 35% each, followed by Max Nofziger in third place. No one has the necessary 50.1% to win. Consequently, a runoff seems quite likely. It would follow the April 6 election by one month as the runoff between the top two candidates would be on Saturday, May 4. AHRC ENDORCES ALAMO CANDIDATES SAN ANTONIO - The Alamo Human Rights Committee informed TWTNEws/San Antonio that it voted to join Mayor Henry Cisneros,the majority of City Council and the San Antonio ghamberof Commerce in backing passage of all five bond proposals on the April 6 ballot. "The AHRC encourages all concerned citizens to vote yes to improve the quality of our city services," secretary, Clint Harris said. In City Council races, AHRC fully endorsed Manuel Cruz in District 7 and Maria Eerriozabal, the incumbent in District 1. Several other candidates, although not receiving the full endorsement of AH RC, are considered acceptable on human rights issues: Helen Dutnerof District 3, Walter Martinez of District 5 and Rick Cockerham of District 8. AHRC stated that it considered Van Henry Archer in District 9 "unaccepPAGE 13 AT FITNESS EXCHANGE WE HELP YOU TWO WAYS!

In the mayor's race, AHRC continues to find Mayor Cisneros acceptable on human rights issues. The foregoing recommendations in the April 6 city election were based on the integrity of the candidates and their positive statements and efforts towards the San Antonio gay community. "Information gathered was from returned questionnaires, personal connections with the candidates and their existing profiles," AHRC explained. AUSTIN WORKSHOP ON LESBIAN ABUSE AUSTIN - A workshop on abuse in lesbian relationships will be held in the Capitol Oity on Saturday, March 30. The all-day agenda begins with registration from 8 a.m. until 9 a.m., TWT NEWs/Austin was advised. The cost is on a sliding scale from $10 to $20 per person and $25 for organizations, Louise M. Warren, MSSW said. "We will discuss the issue of violence in lesbian relationships," she explained. The workshop is jointly sponsored by the Waterloo Counseling Center, Austin Lambda and AWARE. The workshop will be held at st. George's Episcopal Church, Kleberg Hall, 4301 North Interregional (IH-35), one block south of Airport Blvd. Call (512)454-6003 with questions.

The committee's treasurer, City Councilmember Ben Reyes told Houston Digest, "We've contemplated holding a fundraiser. I think the staff and VOlunteers are planning it, though I don't have any idea when. We need to, while the memory of the people is still sharp." Committee for Public Awareness reported to the city secretary's office that it spent a total of $101,460 on the campaign which successfully defeated the gay rights job discrimination measures by a 4-to-1 margin. On the other side of the coin, Citizens for a United Houston, the group formed to favor the gay rights measures, reported to TWTNEWS/Houston that's its after-campaign debts were kept under $20,000. FORT WORTH CENTER 3RD ANNIVERSARY FORT WORTH - This city's Center forthe Community, 2412 Lipscob, will celebrate its third anniversary of service to the metroplex this Tuesday, April 2 beginning at 7:30 p.m. This year's gathering will be informal, Buddy Jones of TWT NEws/Fort Worth advised. "We will have refreshments, entertainment and good fellowship," he added. There will also be a slide preview of last year's activities along with special events for April and sign-ups for summer athletics. "Everyone is welcome to attend," Jones invited. The center was founded three years ago by a few visionary individuals who saw a need for the city's growing and emerging gay community. The center has continued to provide support and referrals to other groups and social alternatives. The center's main outreach has been through Gayline, an information referral and crisis line. It also has remained active in gay pride week and initiating social gatherings. "We are excited about the new format," the center's president remarked . "We now have one general meeting on the first Tuesday evening of every month, and now we have the flexibility of scheduling dinners at restaurants, athletic events and other social gatherings on any day throughout the month." NAUTILUS FOR MEN AND WOMEN TWT MARCH 29 - APRIL 4 1985 PAGE 15 TEXAS MORTICIANS GET AIDS GUIDELINES DALLAS - Following several recent disturbing incidents regarding the funerals and burials of AIDS victims, the Dallas Gay Alliance has asked the Texas Health Department for specific guidelines to be passed on to funeral directors. The request follows several horror stories reported to the Alliance, Mike Richards, DGA board member advised TWTNEwslDalias.FARO has also heard of similar stories regarding the death of people with AIDS, Richards added. One documented incident concerns funeral home employees who arrived to pick up a body while wearing face masks and respirators and talking to family members in the home while wearing protective devices. Another funeral home in Texas allegedly charged an extra $200 for plastic gloves and gowns to be used while handling the body of an AIDS patient. Another funeral home reportedly tried to sell the family a $900 germfree coffin. Family members of another incident told DGA that a local funeral home had said that open casket viewing would be permitted only if a plastic shield were in place surrounding the coffin. A check of the Dallas County Funeral Directors Association, the Texas Funeral Directors Association and the State Board of Morticians indicated they were all following the health department guidelines, William Waybourn learned. Waybourn, a DGA board member, is charged with investigating the matter of burying AIDS victims. AHRC/NGTF PLAN FIESTA RECEPTION SAN ANTONIO - The Alamo Human Rights Committee has firmed up plans for a reception to be held during Fiesta for Virginia Apuzzo, retiring executive director of the National Gay Task Force. "The fund raiser will be held at Stockman's Restaurant on the riverPAGE 16 TUJT MARCH 29 - APRIL 4 1985 walk on Saturday, April 27 from 1-4 p.m.," AHRC advised TWTNEws/San Antonio. Other events planned include two benefit shows, one of which is scheduled for April 4 at Papa Bears and the other at the Copa on April 16. Other means of funding this event are forthcoming, said coordinator, Clint Harris. It is all themed "Celebration '85, Reaffirming Our Pride." The Fiesta reception for Apuzzo is certain to draw a large audience, as she is a very vocal to-the-point speaker, TWTNEWShas observed. Meanwhile, AHRC continues to support Lesbian/Gay Rights Advocates, the gay rights lobby in Austin. $415 was raised at a cocktail party on St. Patrick's Day, March 17, at Dr. Earl Stenger's home, when AHRC kicked off a reception for LGRA lobbyist, Shelia Cheaney, and co-chairs Pat Cramer and John Calkin. On St. Patrick's Day in San Antonio, the AHRC held a cocktail reception for LGRA to raise money to support the gay rights lobby in Austin. Honored guests were (l-r) AHRC's Clark Niblock; LGRA's John CalkIn, Pat Cramer and Shelia Cheaney; host, Dr. Earl Stenger; and AHRC's Tony Zute. TWT NEWS photo by Jim Hamilton.

At the retreat, HGPC's committees mapped out their annual strategy· One of the new committees formed was the Economic Response Committee which is researching the names of contributors who gave to the opposition in the January 19 referendum. "We're not proposing boycotts," HGPC president, Sue Lovell stressed. "We're simply disseminating information," she clarified. But Houston's gay community has been quick to react to the information. For instance, TWTNEWShas learned that Liberty Bank on Westheimer has opened about 200 new accounts since the first list of contributors was published. New customers are telling us that they are pulling their money out of unfriendly banks and moving it to Liberty, a bank official said. Chemical Bank on Kirby has also recently seen a surge of new accounts opened by gay community members. "It's economically smart," Lovell suggested. AUSTIN LAMBDA'S RITESOF SPRING DOCUMENTING GAY DISCRIMINATION AUSTIN - The first annual Rites of Spring dance, sponsored by Austin Lambda, will be held this Saturday night, March 30 at st. George's Episcopal Church, 1-35 at Airport Blvd., 9 p.m. until 1 a.m. "The dance will feature favorite music, videos, open bar and lots of friendly folks," Rick Richards, men's co-chair, advised TWTNEWS/Austin. A donation is requested at the door. Austin Lambda is a non-profit organization. The Rites of Spring is this month's major fundraiser, it was explained. HOUSTON - It is widely felt among local community leaders that one of the reasons why the recent gay rights job protection referendum went down to such a wide margin of defeat, 4-to-1, was that there was no hard evidence that anyone had ever been discriminated in city employment. Had the gay community been able to prove that a gay person was fired or denied employment by the city, a real case could have been made for the need for the proposed ordinances. TUJT AAal'll'.,,,,,,, •••.••.•.••••• _-- Forthose reasons, HGPC has revved up its political engines to start documenting all cases of harassment. In fact, a new committee has been formed that will keep track of what's being said about homosexuals in the city newspapers, on radio and TV newscasts and with individuals. Tom Coleman, vice president of the caucus, told how he tracked down an anti-gay news story on KIKK radio. He visited the news director and obtained a copy of the news item which said, "Remember that gay rights referendum we rejected by a 4-to-1 margin in January? Well, KIKK's Derrill Holly says a certain elected official, Craig Washington, is trying to sneak similar legislation through the Texas Legislature." An HGPC member told of how one of his gay friends was recently refused medical treatment at Memorial City Hospital after being injured by a hitchhiker. Anothertold of how she had lost custody of her children when her husband found out she was a lesbian. "We will use the National Gay Task Force discrimination form to keep a record of all these anti-gay occurrences," president, Sue Lovell said. "When you hear or see something in the papers, on the radio or TV that is offensive or learn of gay harassment, let our committees know," Lovell pleaded. \\V? PAGE 19 tll I. (t) DALlA.

Editor-the following letter was sent to Mr. DaveMoulton, president of Allied American Bank, 1500 Waugh Drive, Houston 77019. Dear Mr. Moulton, We, the members of the Montrose Social Club strongly disapprove of your donation to the anti-referendum forces in the recent vote concerning the sexual orientation of city employees. We believe that sexual orientation as defined in the ordinance is a personal matter and should have no bearing on an employee's job performance. It is unfortunate that your bank helped to fund a group that not only opposed guaranteeing this right in city employment, but circulated malicious and slanderous statements. For this reason, we are closing our account with [Houston's) Allied Bank. In addition, we assure you that we will make your views of bigotry and intolerance known to our employers, business associates, students, and personal friends so that they will understand that supporting Allied Bank supports prejudice and hatred. Other financial institutions (First City, Interfirst, Gill Savings) did not choose to express any opinion rather than reveal an immense amount of ignorance about a group of people who are silently in many areas of your life-your office, your church, maybe your family.

DearTWT: This letter is in response to the March 1, 1985, 7:30 p.m. incident at Houston's Ray'S Five & Dime, wherein the Houston Police Department and ambulance were called to the bar, in response to a person who had walked into the bar after being shot. I was the person who had been shot while washing my car at the carwash a block away on the corner of Jackson and TWT MARCH 29 - APRIL 4 1985 Montrose. I was alone at the carwash when two men approached me, shot me, then stole my car. I walked to Ray's Five & Dime where Ray and others came to my immediate rescue, called the police, called the ambulance, and at the same time, took care of my medical needs. Because of the efficient and quick response of the staff and customers at Ray's Five & Dime, I was at the hospital in a matter of minutes. This letter has three purposes: (1) to dispel any rumors of a shooting at Ray's Five & Dime, (2) to thank the staff and customers at Ray's Five & Dime for their immediate and professional response, and (3) to caution people to pay close attention to their immediate surroundings at all times, day and night, especially while alone.

In less than two weeks, the gay men and women of Dallas have the opportunity to tum the tables on what has taken place nationally.

Mr. Nelson and his partner Terry have been active in a leadership capacity in the gay social, business and political scene in Dallas for many years. They also own the Crossroads Market, a popular shop on Cedar Springs. Nelson is a life-long resident of Dallas, having lived in District 2 for the past 12 years, is a graduate of SMU and was a DISD teacher for 10 years. He is also the current president of the Dallas Gay Alliance. He has received the endorsements of the Dallas Homeowner's Association, The Dallas Gay Political Caucus, the Oak Lawn.Dj1mocrats and the back-up endorsement of the Dal/as Area Women's Political Caucus. Alan Gellman of TWT NEws/Dallas interviewed Mr. Nelson on Thursday, March 21, 1985. teoeoo 11 PAGE 22 <, TWT - How do you respond to your critics who view you as a "one issue" candidate, and what do you see as the major issues in the campaign? NELSON - Critics who insist that I am a one-issue candidate have not examined my campaign or heard me speak at candidate forums. While I constantly maintain my integrity as a gay man, the subject has rarely come up for discussion outside of the gay community. The main issues of the campaign center around zoning and the future of managed growth in our city. In District 2, neighborhood preservation, concern about loss of low and moderate income housing and crime are top priorities of Concern to the voters. TWT - If elected, will you push for a City Ordinance and would you favor a referendum similar to the one that recently was defeated by voters in Houston? NELSON - There has been some misunderstanding as to my plans for a TWT MARCH 29 - APRIL 4 1985 gay rights ordinance here in Dallas, and I would like to clear that up for you now. I believe in the power of law, both as a judicial and an educational tool. For that reason, I firmly believe that an ordinance which guarantees equal rights for gay people is essential to our progress. Houston taught us many lessons about going into this process unprepared, however. What I propose is that, immediately after taking office, I will not introduce the ordinance, but I will call the city attorney's office and have the ordinance drafted. We must have an actual written ordinance so there will be no misunderstanding about what we are proposing. People will also see that it is not just a "gay rights" ordinance, but also addresses age, marital status, handicapped status, and political beliefs or affiliations. Then the controversy can begin (if there is any) before the ordinance is officially introduced. We can find out who our friends are and who is likely to be on the opposing side. We can do all of the talking and all of the PAGE 23 Charlie's 2714 Waugh Crest, Houston [Across from the Tower Theatre] PAGE 24 educating before we are actually under the gun of a referendum. Houston made the mistake of passing the ordinance first and then fighting it out. When the time is right (and that time will come), It will then be my honor to introduce and defend this major step in the lives of Dallas's gay citizens. TWT - Mr. Nelson, it has been suggested by some of you r opponents that serving as president of the Dallas Gay Alliance conflicts with your running for City Council. How do you respond? NELSON - I did not resign my position with the Alliance, because I did not in any way want to suggest to the public that I was trying to back away from or downplay my background as a gay activist and my integrity as a gay man. Strangely enough, the only expressed concern about that decision has come from within the gay community itself. Non-gays find it perfectly natural for a community leader to run for public office. TWT - If no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote in Saturday'S election, there will be a runoff between the top two vote getters. Do you see this happening and if so, which candidate would you most like to face in the runoff? NELSON - I would prefer to face Paul Fielding, because I could count on the united support in a runoff of all of those diverse interests in District 2 who have been offended and dlsentranchlsed by his representation. Replacement of an ineffective incumbent has been a common theme in this campaign among all of the challengers, and I think it represents an important statement about the future unity and effectiveness of District 2 as a powerful part of the city. TWT - According to what I've read elsewhere, it would appear that the Dallas Tavern Guild is solidly behind Paul Fielding. In your opinion, why would they support him rather than the openly gay candidate? NELSON - It is not true that all of the bar owners support Paul Fielding for re-election. I enjoy the support and enTWT MARCH 29 - APRIL 4 1985 couragement of much of the gay business community, including bar owners. Paul Fielding has been of service to some of the bar owners, and perhaps that explains their support of his candidacy.1 think that their interests would bebetter served, along with those of our entire community, by having an openly gay elected representative actively working every minute towards understanding and respect for our lifestyle. TWT - Do you feel that the recent controversy concerning Paul Fielding'S marital status and tax questions will or should have any effect on the outcome of this election? NELSON - I don't think that a person holding any job should be rated on anything other than their job performance-but, realistically speaking, I think both issues will contribute to his defeat in April. TWT - With respect to Love Field, what are your views concerning noise and increased traffic? NELSON - The airlines which serve Love Field must be forced to honor their commitment to use Stage III aircraft which will result in a significant noise reduction around the airport. Our city prides itself on a good business approach to government, and it is good business to honor contracts and agreements. It is also good business to have Love Field. TWT - What would you like to see done with Central Expressway? NELSON - I favor widening Central now with two restrictions: (1) it must all be at ground level or below and (2) it must include an area for mass transit. The solutions to Dallas's traffic do not lie in management of automobiles as much as the development of reliable, convenient public transportation. TWT - How would you work to change the current hiring practices Which discriminate against gays in the Police and Fire Departments in the city of Dallas? NELSON - The hiring policies of the Police and Fire Departments with regard to gays are completely unacceptablenot because we have a line of gay peoTWT MARCH 29 - APRIL 4 1985 pie waiting to fill those jobs-but because such discrimination is morally wrong. It means that gay people are unwillingly funding their own oppression by paying taxes. When a public institution has such a policy, it is the green light to the private sector that discrimination is acceptable. It specifically indicates that the city thinks that there is something wrong with gay people. I would make it one of my top priorities to work aggressively with the Police Department to have their policy changed-and that Change acknowledged-as soon as possible. TWT - In closing, is there anything you would like to say to our readers? NELSON - Yes, there are two other points that I would like to make about this election. First of all, I would like to point out the difference between my candidacy and that of the others in the race regarding the gay issue. No other candidate, including the incumbent, has a stated agenda which addresses the needs of the gay community. All of the other people running only intend to react to problems which arise. I intend to work in a positive way on a daily basis to improve the understanding and the acceptance of gay people in all areas of this city. The second point concerns the symbolic nature of placing an openly gay person in elected office in Dallas. It would be a sign for all people, not just gays, that ourcity is sensitive and open to everyone. It would show that the defeat of the referendum in Houston was not the crushing blow to human rights that our enemies would like to think. And it would be a constant reminderto young gay people all overthis city that their gayness is nothing to be ashamed of, that they are good people and deserve as much respect and opportunity as any other citizen. I hope that all of the gay community will share with me the excitement of this wonderful opportunity. Whatever the outcome, there will be no loss in this election. But a victory will truly represent the dawning of a new day for our people in Texas. '\IJI? PAGE 25 .-- NOW EVERY THURSDAY & FRIDAY POSTON'S POSSE ___ COUNTRY WESTERN \1911 HIGHLIGHT a:co.-... NIGHTS Prepared, Researched and Compiled by Ray Hill, Tom Tate, Mark Stevens and Alicebelle Williams of the Houston Gay Political Caucus Economic Response Committee Health care services are so important to the consumer that one can ill afford to take chances. Further, prejudice within health care services rarely comes to public attention. In this HIGHLIGHT, the focus is health care. The doctors and clinics of Houston on the list below con-. tributed support to the anti-referendum campaign committees. A surprisingly large amount of money was contributed by health care professionals. Not only should we have concerns about the quality of health care one can receive from a prejudiced doctor, but if some doctors are so opposed to basic rights for gay men and lesbians that they contribute their money to our enemies, should we not be equally concerned about the issues of confidentiality? Should you find your doctor's name on the list, call the Gay Switchboard for a recommended alternative.

THE PUBLIC RESPONDS As long as AIDS wore the stigma of the "gay plague," very little was done about the disease. As more and more cases were reported, medical researchers became very interested in solving -PA-~--30------------------------------------~TW~T~M~A~RC~H~29~-~A~PR~IL~ r--UJT~~----------------------------~-------------------4W19~~ MARCH29-APRIL 4 1985 PA~31 the phenomenon to become known as AIDS. As more and more types of populations became affected, the media, the general public, and the whole world ,began to take note. Two years had passed since the disease had been recognized when children and blood transfusionrelated cases began to appear and everything moved into high gear. The media produced sensationalized stories as researchers probed for answers to "the public health threat of the century" (Newsweek magazine) and "the number one health priority in the nation" according to federal officials. It became apparent early on that many of the previously healthy young men developing AIDS did not have the financial resources at hand to face catastrophic illness. Indigent medical care and social assistance programs would have to be established to handle this problem. Social assistance programs in Houston and Texas are typically lacking, and new ones specifically for AIDS victims were designed in 1983 by the fledgling KS/AIDS Foundation of Houston in response to a growing number of requests. The Foundation identified several sources of public assistance and helped clients to obtain the services they deserved and needed. As public assistance in the fight against AIDS has been minimal, most everything available is coordinated by the community and done through private donations as described below. Meanwhile, in late 1981, Houston's first cases had arrived at UT M.D. Anderson Hospital, a state institution. Researchers there began to study and treat a growing number of cases. The education efforts of a great number of persons helped alleviate the fear among health care workers in order to ensure adequate and proper health care delivery. Today, several area hospitals accept and treat people with AIDS. The Harris County Hospital District (the only other source of indigent medical care in Houston besides UT M.D. Anderson Hospital's program) is now accepting cases of AIDS.

Within TWT MARCH 29 - APAIL 4 1985 TUn MARCH 29 - APAIL 4 1985 the next 10years, some epidemiologists predict that AIDS may become another standard STD unless prevention programs or a treatment is found. The cause of AIDS is now established as a virus named HTLV-3, or LAV, although "co-factors" may be involved in whether a person becomes ill. AIDS is diagnosed by laboratory testing and clinical symptoms. The new HTLV3/LAV Antibody Test is not a test of AIDS, pre-AIDS, or AIDS-Related Complex; members of the high-risk groups should not donate blood or take the HTLV-3/LAV Antibody Test. Progress has been made in treating the infectious and cancerous complications of AIDS, and research into treating the underlying immune problem and viral infection continues. There is no vaccine for AIDS to be available anytime soon; thus, prevention through such methods as practicing "safe sex" are the major way to avoid contracting AIDS at this time. The public response to AIDS in Houston has been essentially nonexistent compared to that on the East and West Coast. Locally, public response has concentrated more on blaming the victims and a backlash against gays rather than a positive solution for the benefit of everyone. The gay community has pulled together to create systems of education and assistance which simply did not exist three years ago. Education programs have emphasized disease prevention and health promotion; social assistance programs help the vicitms of AIDS live with comfort and dignity. The average gay male is beginning to make significant changes in his attitudes and behaviors regarding AIDS. As a community and as individuals, gays have responded in a very responsible and positive manner to the most important challenge to face them in decades. In orderto emerge alive and energetic from the AIDS crisis, gays must continue to work together and support the fight against AIDS. Together, a significant impact can be made in the long, hard fight against the most important disease of the century. ,\II?

On March 19, Judge Norman Lee ordered the mother separated from her children because heralleged "blatant homosexuality" was damaging to her children and had caused irreparable harm. What follows is a heart-rending interview with the mother of four. Clearly, it is another case of discrimination against gay parents in the courts. JOIN THE AUSTIN HOSTS FOR SPLASH DA V '85 AT HIPPIE HOLLOW SUNDA V, MA V 5 TWT MARCH 29 - APRIL 4 1985 TWT - Susan, thank you for agreeing to share your story with our readers. Why don't you take us back in time and start at the beginning so we can set the stage. SUSAN - When I was 15 years old, I got married to escape my home life. I remained married for two years until I got a divorce, at which time I was granted sale conservetorship of the only child of that marriage-my first son. I then moved to Houston, went to work and started school at the University of Houston. It was then that I got married again and had twins at age 19. Then 17 months later, I gave birth to my fourth Child. TWT - Let's bring your husband into the story. TWT MARCH 29 - APRIL 4 1985 SUSAN - He encouraged me into non-heterosexual relationships, because he knew prior to our marriage that my sexual preference was for women. TWT - If it was his idea in the first place that you date women, then what went wrong? SUSAN - I guess he felt I was getting a little too involved with one woman in 'particular. At that point I would not have classified my relationship with her as a love affair. But, nevertheless, in May of 1984, he left me. About a week or so later he asked if all four of the children could come to his mother's house to spend the weekend. Hesitantly and reluctantly I agreed with the encouragement of some friends whom I now regret having listened to. PAGE 37 TWT - At the end of that weekend last May, what happened that made you realize you'd made a mistake? SUSAN - When I went to his mother's house on Sunday, they would not let me onto the property. They said they had a restraining order which they would not allow me to read. I then went to the Pearland Police Department and got an officer to come out with me. He spoke to the attorney and instructed me to leave. The next day, Monday, I went to the courthouse to get a copy of the restraining order. I was served divorce MONDAYS: HAPPY HOUR PRICES FOR ALL BOWLERS papers on the spot.

But he didn't know any of this. On one particular occasion, I was making a phone call at this pay phone. He walked up to me pretending to be drunk and dropped a coin in the next phone. I saw him retrieve the coin, so I knew he wasn't actually talking on the telephone. I saw he had a tape recorder in his back pocket, so I ended my phone call, got in my car and drove around the building. When he started to get in his car I drove up to him and said, "Mr. detective, your tape recorder is falling out of your back pocket." I don't think the poor man could have turned any more shades of red than he did. TWT - Did he spy on any of your private affairs? SUSAN - Oh, sure. He was caught several times by my neighbor peeking in my windows. He cut my window screens. He tape recorded an incident through an open bathroom window. TWT - What kind of incident? SUSAN - A very intimate situation with my girlfriend and I in the bathtub together. He tried to use that recording in the June 5 temporary hearing. TWT - Let's talk about your attorney in this case. SUSAN - She was inexperienced, and that led to my losing a lot of my rights. Not realizing at the time that some of this evidence was obtained illegally, she gave into the pressure of the moment. You see, the detective had entered through a gate onto private propertyand positioned himself under my bathroom window. He shouldn't have been there. TWT - Bring us forward now to the latest legal round. SUSAN - The most recent court date was Tuesday, March 19 in Judge Norman Lee's court. On the Friday before the court date, my attorney received a phone call from the master of the court at which time she found out what the judge was going to rule-that I would have no overnights with my kids and very limited visitation days during daylight hours only, if that. TWT - In other words, the judge PAGE 39 ADULT VIDEO 100'S OF TITLES RENT BY MAIL OR PURCHASE .***************. •• •• : ALL-MALE: ! TITLES : : A VAILABLE : 1.**************; SEND FOR FREE CATALOG Q.T.

I have 18 months minimum untill can go back to file a motion of circumstances. Hopefully by that time I will have more gainful employment. Right now I'm working at the medical center. I did one fundraiser at Bacchus here in Houston and want to do more. I'd also like to get a gay mothers support group activated. TWT - That's wonderful. If there are any gay mothers reading this who wish to participate, I encourage them to write to you in care of TWT NEWS, 2205 Montrose Blvd., Houston, Tx. 77006. We'll forward all mail onto you, Susan. SUSAN - There have been gay mother groups before, but the length of time they stay active is limited because after you've fought your own battles in court, women are usually too exhausted to help others fight more battles. With the financial and social problems that women face, it's difficult to keep a support group going. But, I know I have the organizational skills to keep one together. TWT - I know your kids were everything to you, and what you have gone through during the past year could help other lesbians in similar situations where they have lost their children or are trying to support them on a limited salary. SUSAN - I thin~ that the knowledge that has been gained from my experience would help others. It is also my understanding that gay father groups have come a lot further legally than gay mother groups. We can change that. I think our community really needs to band together, because there are still too many barriers out there. TWT - Obviously, gay parents and their children is still a segment of gay rights that has a long way to go. You are a true example of how a gay mother is treated by the law differently than a straight mother. We at TWT NEWS wish you good luck in getting all of your children back under your loving care. SUSAN - Thank you, Chuck. And I'll keep you posted on my case. In the meantime, I hope other gay mothers will write to me in care of this magazine. didn't want the children to be with you at night on the chance your girlfriend ight also be there. rn SUSAN - Yes, but remember that they had no proof of our relationship or that I had ever been around my lover. Nevertheless, there is a restraint keeping my lover away from my children. I havetestimony from when I was back in court last December that I'm a better arent than my husband because I pay ~ore attention to them. Also it was an absolute lie that I was a user of drugs. I love my children very much and nothing I have done has affected my parental ability. TWT - Why were only three of your children taken from you? SUSAN - Because my eldest was from a previous marriage. However, my latest in-laws have now informed my first husband of "my blatant homosexualaffair." It wasn't until their efforts to takecustody of my eldest son failed that they called my first husband. So I stand to maybe even lose the only child left with me. TWT - And what about your lifestyle? SUSAN - It was ruled that I can't even have a roommate to share expenses.She can't even be present when the children are around. TWT - I would think this would be as hard on the children as it is on you. SUSAN - The children cry and want to come home with mommy. They don't understand why mommy doesn't stay there with grandma. The children are really upset. If given a choice they most likely would stay with me. I'm the one who read to them every night and spent all my time with them. TWT - It is my unlegal opinion that the children would still be with you if you weren't gay. Courts usually grant custody to the mother rather than the father. But because you are a lesbian, the usual ruling has not prevailed. Clearly this is a case of legal discrimination because of your sexual preference. I take it you're not giving up? SUSAN - That's right. I intend to use my time to the greatest advantage TUJT MARCH 29 - APRIL 4 1985 ,\III" PAGE 41 \\WI t - _. ~___ ,- haunting melody somewhat reminiscentof the Patrick Cowley classic, "Sea Hunt." My favorite cut on the album is "panic" at 118 bpm. This cut features / the most powerful beat-box rhythmvery much like the incredible Art of Noise hit "Beat Box (Diversion II)." The feeling of the music is very much like the recent "Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag" remake, also produced by Paul Hardcastle. This cut could be a major "after-hours" hit. I'd love to hear a dubremix of It. Another outstanding cut is "A.M.," also at 128 bpm. Beautiful uptempo easylistening-it reminds me of "Turn II Around" by Gino Soccio. The melody is more complex than most other cuts onthe album (most other cuts are more rhythm than melody). The only vocals on the album are the vocordereffects in Jound Chaser" (118 bpm),which backed the original single release of "Rain Forest." This cut has beena big hit in the black- and "funk"oriented clubs. Overall, this is an outstanding album. Everycut is enjoyable. Some might call this a "formula" album in that every cut has many similarities-almost like variations on a singular theme. In this case,the theme is the beat box rhythm synched with smooth flowing keyboard arrangements. As debut albums go, this Paul Hardcastle's debut LP, Rain Forest, Is exceptionally good, and includes a/au remix of the title cut "Rain Forest" oneis very impressive and reflects a prothat features a saxaphone break and new rhythm tracks. fessional talent.

The melody is hauntingly beautiful and very hypnotic. The hook is comprised of spliceedited vocal rhythms-a very original and entertaining idea. This cut is definitely not for everyone, but those who appreciate the electronic evolution of R&B will consider this a trendsetting masterwork. "Rhythm of the Night" by DeBarge on Motown Records, U.S.A.(118bpm). This cut is the theme from the Tri-Star motion picture, The Last Dragon. The calypso rhythm is very reminiscent of the smash hit "All Night Long" by Lionel Richie and promises to be just as successful. The energy is light and happy, and the remixed dance single version features lots of upper-end percussion and rhythm breaks. DeBarge has an outstanding reputation for beautiful orchestration and smooth, soulful vocal arrangements. These qualities shine in this latest release and almost insure commercial success in most music markets. "Feels So Real" by Steve Arrington on Atlantic Records (116 bpm). A truly beautiful R&B love song with an upbeat happy energy. The lyrics are almost gospel and the rhythm has a calypso feeling due to the percussion rhythm tracks and the beautifully arranged horns. The B side of the extended single version is instrumental and features "a stronger base, more upper-end percussion and female background vocals in the chorus. The trumpet break is also longer and more powerful. This cut has really grown on me. If you're looking for smooth easy listening with a good rhythm, this cut is sure to please.

Although the production was at 2 p.m. on a very bright Sunday, it was well worth getting up early to see. The cast, aware that they were playing for a lroup of "brothers" and "sisters," pulled out all the stops and ad-libbed some of the show that the non-gay crowds will never see. Although the show went 20 minutes over due to the partying, many of us weren't ready for it to end, it was so great. Go see Bottoms Up and experience why it's been around for 26 years. Breck Wall, producer and founder of the show, was seen last weekend with the entire cast skating down the seawall in Galveston reeking havoc on the poor tourists who got in their way.

Double R Productions report they've postponed their Miss Gay Tun MARCH 29 - APRIL 4 1985 TARRANT TEA - Pauletta Leigh and the Lumber Company make a terrific combination, as was proved last week when the Miss Gay Texas titleholder graced the cast of the Lynn Christopher Show. Last week they had Miss Gay America and this past week it was Miss Gay Texas. With that caliber of entertainment, there's no wonder all local performers are placing so well in statewide and national competition. Isn't that right, Tasha? Raina Lea (see below) journeyed to Big D last week and dazzled all the TGRAlDalias folks at their recent fundraiser. Raina has never been better and is always the first person to volunteer for a fund raiser. She's a one-in-a-million and every one in Dallas sends their salutes and many thanks for a great job ....

Although this rare phenomenon undoubtedly went unnoticed by most of us, astronomers and other scientists around the world have noted significant changes in the astrological relationships within our own solar system. For instance, one effect of the "cosmic interference" appears to be the alteration of the annual spring equinox from Mar_ch21 to on or about April 1. And you can expect the fall equinox to occur sometime in June. APRIL FORECASTFORALL SIGNS- Cosmic interference as a result of the March 20 supernova explosion has also converted the Venus-Mars aspect (described last week by the queen who usually writes this crap) into a Venus-Mars-Plutoaspect. Since the grave significance of this celestial menage trois probably isn't understood by most laypersons, I'm here to tell you to fasten your cosmic seat belts. April could be the most dramatic and eventful month of your life. a ARIES: (Mar. 21 - Apr. 19) Since you Aryans are aggressive, dynamic, and about as trustworthy as a deranged Cobra, now might be a good time to tone things down a bit-for instance, your cologne is beginning to rust those "gold" Chains you like to hang around your neck. With the Venus-Mars-Pluto aspect coming squarely into focus as the April TWT MAACH 29 - APRil 4 1965 1 equinox influences your first house of bikini underwear, you now have an opportunity to realize that people all around you are gaggingwhen they're not laughing. Also, no matter what you've heard, tetracycline is not an aphrodisiac. TAURUS:(Apr. 20 - May 20) Since you Taurusians tend to be practical and down-to-earth to the point of tedium, now might be a good time to try breakPAGE 67 Capricornios tend to be economical business-like, and about as friendly as ~ dead bivalve mollusk, now might be a good time to open up and show everyone that you are at least as friendly as a live bivavle mollusk. Unfortunately, the only way to open you people up iseither with extensive surgery or an overdose of valium and rum. However, the VenusMars-Pluto aspect, which comes into focus just as the April 1 equinox is influencing your tenth house of Clamata, could reveal a startling side of your nature-you'd like to have sex with a bivalve mollusk! AQUARIUS:(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) Since the age we're living in is not exactly the dawning of the age of Aquarius that it was once cracked up to be, now might be a good time for you Aquariums to admit that you're not the sensitive intellectuals that you're cracked up to be. I mean, scientific data hasshown that you people are more likely to move your lips while reading the backs of cereal boxes than any other group of people.

On the other hand, the Venus-Mars-Pluto aspect, which affects the April 1 equinox directly from your twelfth house of the mating habits of the snail, could reveal a slightly less wimpy side to your nature-you might actually beat up a snail.

In Decent Passions: Real Stories About Love, Michael Dcftneny looks at three very different and non-traditional relationships (gay male, lesbian, and inter-racial) from the separate perspectives of the two people involved. From these six stories, he helps us start to find the common themes behind love, decency and passion, and the way that these threads can intertwine in each of our lives.
