EDITOR IN CHIEF
GAeRIEL ROTELLO•NEWS EDITORARTS EDITORFEATURES EDITOR
STAFf REPORTER
DEIIGNCABLE FABLE,

For New York's lesbian and gay proponents of the First
Amendment, th~ week of August 13 was a free-speech roller
coaster .. On Monday, after a long, grueling battle, a New York
court struck down a federal law which threatened to terminate
phone-sex services. Many in the commu1)ity were exultanJ.
.
But then on Thursday; Aug. 16, new rules governing New York
City's cable television were announced, rules which have the po1:~tial
to wipe out most gay and lesbian programing on cable 1V. Suddenly
the same group which had mobilized to fight the phone-sex restric-'·
nons was forced to mobilize again. But this µme
there was a crucial.
difference: While the threat to phone sex came from avowed enemiesof, the gay nation, the threat to gay cable 1V originated with some eX
our community's staunchest supporters in city govemment
The story of how progressive, pro-gay Comptroller Elizabeth
Holtzman drafted rules that censor gay speech, and· how others on
the Board of Estimate voted for those rules, is a study in gay political impotence in New York. With the possible exception of thecomptroller, no one in power even seemed to notice what theeffect of these rules would likely be on the gay media. Nor did anyone inform the gay media or community leaders of the implicationsof , the rules, which, were buried
inside an enormous refranchising,cO')tra,ct.Most pOliticians were probably not <;onspiring to eliminate
gay
broadcasting. It's just that because none' of them is openly les,bian or gay, none of theni has as their primary agenda the protecfionof lesbian and gay interests. No one was on the watch.
It's vi,rtuaIIy inconceivable that such repressive, gay-negativerµles would have passed without an enormous fight in cities like
San Francisco or Boston, with their openly gay legislators and. officeholders.
But New York lacks even the minimum representa,tion of a single openly gay or lesbian councilperson, much less amore powerful officeholder like borough president or comptroller.
So, while the interests of women, .people of color, religious
groups and other minorities are personally represented and directly hears! and considered in New York government, the interests oflesbians and gays are aired strictly at the pleasure of our' straightfriends: Such friends, like Manhattan Borough President Ruth
Messinger, seem to genuinely care about our causes. Yet theircompassion will always be one step removed from their own reality. And their attention will often be distracted by other issues andother constituenCies.
.
"., The result Will continue to be fiascos like the cable 1V caper,
which,lacking the simple ounce of prevention, now requires thelaborious pound of cure. Until we elect open gays to office, suchbungles are inevitable.

DON'T FORGETTO VOTEOUTWEEKENDORSEMENTS
Prim~ryday
isTuesday, Sept 11.
OUtWeek endorses thefollowing candidates:
Deborah Glick for New
York State Assemblyfrom the 61st District,and Eve Preminger for
Man-hattan Surrogate.
Glick, the first open
lesbian to run for state
assembly: would serve
the interestsof ourcommunity
effectively
and provide us with aseat at the table in
Albany.

memberofhas consist-

ently understoodtheneeds and problems ofgays and lesbians. At
a time whenmostcontested wills before
the Surrogate's
Court
involve gay and AIDS
issues, it's vital to havea surrogate

who

is

truely in tune with ourcommunity's needs.

Thank you for your article[no. 61, Aug. 29] about Deborah
Glick and her quest to become
New Yor1<'sfirst openly gay or lesbian state legislator. NOW takes
special pride in her candidacy,
since we were the first of manyorganizations to endorse Deborah.
But we can't elect gay candidates if we don't remember tovote for them. This year's Primary
Section on September 11 might
not have the hype of last year's
mayoral race, but it's equallyimportant to the gay community
and to women, as well as to environmentalists and progressive
New Yorkers. So plsaS8 urge all
your madprs who live south of
14th Street to mmembBr to go to
the polls to vote for Deborah
Glick Tuesday,September 11.

NOW/NYCQUEER SMEAR
QUEER: differing in some
odd way from what Is usual or
nonnal, eccentric, unconventional, mildly insane, touched,absorbed or Interested to an
extreme or unreasonable degree,obsessed, sexually deviate,homosexual, worthless, counterfeit, questionable, suspicious, notquite well. All definitions from
Webster's Collegiate Dlctlonaty.
I have honestly tried forseveral months to understandand appreciate your reclaiming"queer" and substituting it for"gay." Not only have I not succeeded, but I've come to theconclusion that you should bore
a hole in yourseH and let the sap
run out.
It has taken a lifetime to
get my ignorant and uneducatedfather to stop calling a gay mana "queer." Now, the editor inchief of a major gay news magazine wants it to be our identification. If ifs your contention that"queer" is to be used only bygays in designating themselves,then you must believe that
Blacks should refer to themselves as niggers, and Jews
should call themselves klkes,
and women cunts. That's only
logical. Do you really believe thatis high consciousness? I don't I
really believe it's contemptuousand hateful seH-loathing.
Or perhaps you want"queer" (as homosexual) reintroduced to the mainstream. Do
you really want Barbara Bushand Johnny Carson and Matilda
Krim calling us "queers"?
The time has come to end
this absurd and ludicrous campaign. It is neither representative nor flattering to the overwhelming majority of the gay
and lesbian community who are
hardworking, tax-paying, responsible citizens. And It Is certainly not helpful to the fight for
gay rights.

hatred breeds hatred. I wonder
what you think of GLAAD when
they send thank-you notes orcalls to the media people who
present lesbians and gay men ina positive light. AccOrding toyou, the media should alreadybe dOing this so they'll get no
thanks from you. I agree that ofcourse they should be representing us with respect and dignity but they stili made the rightchoice and chose not to risk a
lot In the process. And what
about P-FLAG? According toyou,"Of course you would join
P-FLAG-you're my fucking parents and friends. You're giving
me nothing more than what I
deserve." I totally agree-we
absolutely do deserve this. Doesan article that clearly states "I
Hate Straights" help to promote
this kind of positive treatment?

ACT UP/NY member Woody
Enoicaras said that the march was
unusual because of the number of heterosexuals who joined in. San Juan city
police provided an escort for the marchand made minimal response to the blood
action at the governor's mansion.
The following day, activists staged
rallies at the Catholic cathedral andanother Olthdlic church.
As ACf UP members congregatedoutside the churches, Enoicaras andas
activist Olristina Hayworth-dresseda straight couple and "pushing a borrowed baby in a bUggy"-entered bothchurches and distributed condoms toparishioners up and down the length ofthe center aisles.
Catholic teaching rejects condom
use in all situations, a position that has
been denounced by AIDS activists andhealth educators.
The idea for staging actions in
Puerto Rico was fostered earlier this summer at the Sixth International Conference
on AIDS in San Francisco, when local
ACf UP members confronted health officials about the island's crisis. By midJuly, representatives from ACf UP/NY
flew to Puerto Rico and contacted pe0ple within the lesbian and gay community (mostly bar owners, as there is nolesbian and gay center here), presenting
them with tactics and purposes in holding demonstrations.
Although ACf UP has provided technical support to the Puerto Rican activists,
Juan Mendez, an activist with ACf UP/NY,
explained, "We are very-excited that they
have a dynamic of their own."
In solidarity with the actions staged
in Puerto Rico, local AIDS activists held ademonstration in front of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico building on Park
Avenue South at 23rd Street on Aug. 24.
Some ACf UP!NY members were in
Puerto Rico for a month. "'Theycame with
the idea to organize some militant
activism," said Hayworth, who lives in
San Juan, "but what they accomplished isa sense of awareness to the Puerto Rican
people. People from all walks of life are
joining in. We had 125 people at our mostrecent meeting.·

by Andrew Miller, Nina Reyes andJanis Astor in New York, Allen
White in. San Franciso and Rex,Wockner in Chicago•

The economic effects of the gay andlesbian community's boycott of Miller
beer may be impossible to judge. But the.action taken against Miller by some
activists in an effort to retaliate against
the financial s,upport that Miller's parent.company, Philip Monis, has given homophobic Sen. Jesse Helms, has spurred adebate in the gay community that has
taken on a life of its owo.

DC: Spilling in Faces
In Washington, DC, where, in thelast month, the boycotts of Miller beerand Marlboro cigarettes have taken amoderately strong hold in local gay andlesbian bars and restaurants, the debate
has taken a decidely nasty tum.
Initial support stirred hope among
boycott organizers that queer residentsof the nation's capital would reject
brand-name products closely associatedwith Helms.
But support among DC bars is far
from unanimous.
And according toseveral sources, if gay bars that are
currently resisting the boycott continue
to sell Miller beer and Marlboro
cigarettes, area activists are poised touse direct -action tactics to put pressure
on those businesses.
"We're allowing our customers tomake that choice," said Dick McHugh,owner of the DC Eagle, disclosing that
his establishment will continue to stock
both Miller and Marlboro. Pro-boycott
activists have -reportedly
targeted
McHugh's bar for action if the bar refuses
to tum off the tap on Miller.
But while McHugh maintained that
his business has not been pressured to'join the boycott, he did report that someof his patrons have been harassed by individuals whom he identified as membersof ACf UPIDC. "Just an occasional customer spitting in the face of anothercustomer who is drinking [Miller] Lite
beer. Really lovely," McHugh commented.
No other local bars contacted forcomment had experienced comparablepressure to participate in the boycott, but
virtually all of those establishments hadreceived visits from members of ACf UP
who were distributing flyers and literature on the anti-Philip Morris campaign'.
And some ACf UP members spoke.angrily about upping the ante and said
that they would not rule out resorting towhat they called coercion. "We're nottoddlers playing tiddlywinks, but angry
activists out to topple Jesse Helms andthe AIDS crisis," ACf UP's Eric Pollard
told OutWeek. "We're talking dollars andcents, not love and politics. That's what
Philip Monis understands."

Chicago: Act Up and Act Smart
Following a meeting with membersof ACf UP, officials of 11 Chicago gay
bars refused on Aug. 10 to join theMiller boycott, although they did agree
to ditch Marlboros .
The bar reps said that Miller was alongtime friend to the Chicago gay community and insisted that a boycott would
primarily hurt the local distributor, rather
than Miller or Philip Morris.
The meeting
was sometimes
heated, with Jim Ludwig, co-owner of_pte .. her 1:z. 1990

d

,
"

- 'Roscoe's bar, admonishing activists:"You can't just act up, you've got to act
smart .... you guys ought to consider
doing something positive.""It sends the wrong message' to thecorporate community," added Arthur
Johnston, C<H>wnerof the bar Sidetrack.
\ "Our action won't hurt Miller as much as
Chicago Beverage [the l~ distributor],
which is our friend." 'Local Miller distributors have sponso~ed a number of gay and lesbian, events in Chicago, San Francisco, Mil-,waukee and elsewhere over the years.
Only Ann Sather restaurants, owned
by Tom Tunney, agreed not to reorderboth Miller and Marlboro in Chicago. Buteight bar owners agreed that the boycott,of Marlboro "make!> sense" because it-directly hurls Philip Morris.

,

NEW YORK-Less than a monthafter i~ most recent executive director
was forced to resign, the board of
directors at Gay Men's Health Crisis on
Aug. 28 named Tim Sweeney to leadthe world's oldest and largest AIDS
service organization.
"Tim Sweeney has a long andimpressive record of activism in thegay and lesbian community,". saidpresident of the board Joy Tomchiil ina prepared press statement. "He'sproven himself a tough, smart, energetic leader. The board is confident
that under his guidance, GMHC canmeet the challenges that AIDSwill present us in the '90s.", Sweeney, who has been with
GMHC since 1986, most recently as its
deputy director for policy, had beenasked to consider taking the top job
at GMHC before his predecessor,
Jeffrey Braff, was hired last year. At
that time declined to be consideredfor
the position.
•"Now, I've managed the agency
in the past and hadn't before andthat's taught me a few things about
my own skills and confidence level,"he explained, adding that he alsofeels that he has completed some ofhis personal goals he set when taking
the policy job. "I felt that this time I
was the right person, at the rightplace, at the right time." Sweeney
was twice before named acting executive director in the agency's periods

Widely respected as a lobbyist
and policymaker, and with a reputation for being able to bring opposing- sides together:, Sweeney will set hissights on strategic planning at anagency where the ever-larger andmore diverse caseload has been asource of financial and political tension
in the past. He also plans to continue
to fight for federal, state and city AIDS
funding and to see that it is spentappropriately, he said.
A talented behind-the-scenes
operator who was a primary catalyst
for the passage of both New Yorkstate's HIV confidentiality law and
CARE, the federal Comprehensive
AIDS Resources Emergency bilI, Sweeney was swept into the public eye last
winter, when he backed Mayor David
Dinkins' controversial appointment oftive director of Lambda Legal Defense
and Education Fund from 1981 until
1986, when he joined GMHC's legal
department.
Sweeney would not dicuss who is
being considered to replace him aspolicy director. David Barr, a former
Lambda staff attorney, was recently
hired as his deputy in that department.
Jeffrey Braff, who preceded Sweeney, wason the job less than eight•months before resigning on Aug. 3 underbehind-the-scenes pressure from theboard and senior staff members.
Sweeney lives in New Jersey withhis lover of 13 years, whose name hedeclined to disclose.
The position of executive director
is salaried at between $80,000 and$100,000 per ye~r, according to Carisa
CUhningham, a GMHCspokesperson.

'STED
IN OHIO BAR•SUNDAY
LIMA, Ohio The newly formed
Gay and Lesbian Rights Project of the
Ohio American Civil Liberties Union isgoing to bat for 41 patrons of a Limagay bar who were nabbed in a June 10
police raid.
Police charged the patrons of the
Office bar with "visiting a disorderly
house." They each face a 30-day jailterm and a $250 fine.
Lawyers
say that the raid
stemmed from a performanceof amale dance troupe performance. Twomen had stripped down to what the
ACLU called a "T-bar" before officers
moved in.
Those arrested charge that they
were not read their rights and wereverbally and physically abused.
The police wore latex gloves and,according to the ACLU, one officer
referred to the bar as "an AIDS place."
Another officer told a straightwoman that she didn't "belong in aplace like this" and "should go tochurch in the morning," the ACLUsaid.
All 41 bar patrons were taken to thepolice station, booked and fingerprinted.
Many paid a small fine and werereleased, but others decided to fight.
"The law is clearly unconstitutional," said Jerry Bunge, chair of the
Ohio ACLU Gay Rights Project. "[It]defines a 'disorderly house' as any
place operated for the purpose of'prostitution, lewdness or assignation.'"The word 'lewd' doesn't set any
reliable standard or give any sort ofwarning to people, [and] the assignation

part of the law is just silly. 'Assignation'

simply means that people might go to
the bar to meet other people andmaybe engage in some sort of private
activity later.
"If Lima is going to arrest every
patron in every bar where people
meet, the city will have more people
in jail than out," Bunge said.
"This sort of bar raid is something
we all thought .died out years ago,"
said Gay Rights Project Director Loretta
Mikolaj. "It's just astonishing to find it
still going on in Ohio."
A hearing is set for Aug. 27 to ruleon the constitutionality of the 'disorderly house' ordinance.

NEW YORK-A lesbian who-was
denied benefits by AT&T after thedeath of her longtime lover, an AT&T
employee, filed a lawsu'it in federal
court on Aug. 22, charging the phonecompany with violating its own
nondiscriminatory policy on sexual
orientation as well as federal law.
Attorneys from the Lambda Legal
Defense and Education Fund who are
representing Sandra Rovira, the surviving partner, say that this is the first
domestic partnership ca'se ever filedin federal court and one of few filed
against a private employer. In thepast, domestic partnership cases suchas last year's Brasch; decision that acknowledged the legitimacy of gay
couples as family, have been argued
in state courts.
The suit, filed in the Southern
District of New York in Manhattan, alleges that AT&Trefused to pay Rovira
a sickness death benefit because thelesbian couple was not legally married. In addition, the suit alleges thatby denying the benefit AT&Tviolated.b<?thits own policies in granting benefits to family members and the federal employment benefits law, which
mandates employers must keep their- . promises regarding benefits.
. . Rovira and her lover of 1i years,
Marjorie Forlini, lived in Westchester
county, bringing up Rovira's two chil-dren from a previous marriage. Forlini
worked for AT&Tin New York City as
a-sales'and marketing manager from. 1980 to 1988, when she died of cancer.
Rovira alleges that she, Forliniand thechildren lived as a family. Forlini
assumed financial responsibility for her
two sons, paying for medical bills,
clothes, tuition and other necessities.
In. addition, Rovira took time off fromwork to care for Forlini during her 13month battle with cancer.
Before filing the suit, Rovira
exhausted all appeal channels within
the phone company. "AT&Tdoes notrecognize the reality of our lives," said
Rovira's ~ttorney, Paula Ettelbrick of
Lambda. She added that unlike cases
involving an insurance company and astate insurance bureau, for example,
there's no government involvement
here. "This case is purely Within
AT&T's control," Ettelbrick said. "Thisis their own concocted benefit, andthey have the power to control it."An AT&Tspokesperson, Maureen
Lynch, said: "We're aware of Rovira's
dissatisfaction with the denial of her
claim, but we haven't Seen the suit yet.
In general, this area with domestic partnerships is a delicate legal debate, so
we'll be stepping very-carefully."-Paul

IDGHTECH
GAYS LOSE
COURT. SAN FRANCISCO~An organization of gay men a'nd' lesbians who
work in high tech jobs requiring security clearances suffere<i a setback intheir appeal of an anti-gay discrimination lawsuit against the government,
when a federal appeals court refusedto hear their case.
___' Members of High Tech Gays, whomust apply for government security
clearance before they can work on
defense contracts, have complainedthat the security-clearance office discriminated against gay applicants byunreasonably prolonging investigationof their applications and sometimes
denying them for trivial reasons. Suchdelays frequently result in withdrawal
of job offers or loss of promotional
opportunities, they charged.

But the 27-member 9th Circuit
Court of Appeals recently refused toreconsider the decision of a threemember appeals panel that upheld thegovernment's policy in February as"rational." The 9th Circuit reviews decisions from California, Oregon, Alaska
and Hawaii.
In 1987, a federal district judge
ruled that the group experienced discrimination that violated constitutional
requirements of equal protection. But
in February of this year, the appeals
panel reversed the 1987 decision,
holding that policies that discriminate
against gays are not constitutionallysuspect and are thus entitled to considerable deference from the courts.
The panel dted as an example
Russian KGB agents targeting gays tosteal security secrets.
Two judges who diss.ented from'the full panel's majority opinion not
to hear the case said the decision was"a grave error," and that it "will have
tragiC results." The dissenting judges
also pointed out that the Navy not
only discredited the KGB theory 38
years ago in its Crittendon Study, butalso declared 'that are no more of asecurity risk than heterosexuals ..
In a written dissent, the twojudges concluded: "To leave on thebooks the rule that the government
can discriminate against homosexuals
whenever it has a rational basis to do•so is an invitation to tragedy. Homosexuals are hated, quite irrationally, forwhat they are, what they did notchoose to be and what they cannot
easily change. Mainstream SOCietyhas
mistreated them for centuries. If theequal protection clause means anything, it should mean the government
cannot, on the slightest of justifications, join in the discrimination."-Arthur S. Leonard/New York-\,

deemed to promote "sodomy'on
July 25, but some state lawmakers
are still eyeing similar proposals
with keen interest.
Gathered in Nashville, Tenn"
for a convention of state lawmakers, pro-labelinglegislators faced
off with record industry executives, anti-censorship
activists andparents' advocates over the contested issue, 'At the center of the storm was
the still-simmering matter of explicit

and what conservative representatives called the "dangerous' impact
those words may have'on children. 'Bowing to pressure from lawmakers who earlier this year had
introduced mandatory stickering bills
in over a dozen states, the Recording
Industry Association of America last
spring announced a voluntary campaign to sticker records with theirown parental warning label.
Although that action' led almost all
the labeling advocates to pull their bills
froJ)} consideration,
lawmakers inLouisiana pressed ahead with their pr0posal. After passing both chambers of
the state Legislature, the measure wasv:etoed by Romer, who cited First
Amendment concerns with the measure.
At the Nashville session on record
stickering,though, a number of state legislators chided the anti-labelingforces forallowing such lyrics to be put on records
and hinted that they may yet push forstate legislationto address the issue.
Now that the Louisiana bill has
been killed and shows no sign of coming back this year, record industry
activists are focusing their efforts on the
New Jersey Legislature, where a recordlabeljng bill is pending.

0OTIAWA-A government review
board has recommended
the full
reinstatement of a woman expelledfrom the Canadian armed forces
because she is lesbian.
The strongly worded decision,issued by the Security Intelligence
Review Committee, or SIRC, on Aug.
14, constitutes a scathing rebuke ofDepartment , of National Defense
policy in investigating .and disciplining 8ays and lesbians
in .theCanadian
armed
forces.
The
Canadian forces have a longstanding policy which prohibits homosexuals from serving;
SIRC adjudicates disputes oversecurity clearances and related mat~ters. Its recommendations'
are not
legally binding, but they do carrymoral weight..
'
As in many similar cases of discrimination against gays and lesbians in
the military, the officer, Michelle
Douglas, had an exemplary career inthe forces before her dismissal.
Enlisting in 1986 at age 23, Douglas
graduated ~m basic training secopd-in
her company of 85 cadets. She received
a top-secret security clearance in 1987,
which permitted her to be posted to
the Special Inve!!tigationUnit.
The sm conducts investigations
into armed forces officers who are
considered possible security risks.
Many of its targets have been gay andlesbian officers. In May 1988, thecommanding officer of the sm initiated an investigation into Douglas ' oneof his own officers .based, on allegations that she was a lesbian. In April 1989, the Departmentof National Defense recommended
that "because of a demonstrated disregard for security regulations andapparent strong loyalty to the gay
community ....Douglas be denied any
level of security clearance." Stripping Douglas' security clearance
effectively froze. her career in thearmed forces. 'SIU investigators subsequently

treated Douglas "in a manner which
strai9s credulity," according to the
SIRe report recommending Douglas'
reinstfltement. Douglas was lured toa hot~l room under false pretenses,
where she was interrogated withoutI
her permission, and, as the SIRC
repo~put it, "she was virtually forced
to ac~ept a polygraph test."
The SID asked Douglas suchquestions as "Did you ever take partin unnatural sex acts?" and "Sincejoinin~ the [Canadian armed forcesl,
have you ever fondled the private
parts Of another woman?""~e questions prepared for the
polygJ'aph test reveal an intense
prurient interest in her sexual activities rather
than an attempt to dis,cover (the truth of her statements
while respecting
her dignity and priIvacy,·commented the SIRCreport.
Douglas' attorney, prominent
Torontp, defense lawyer Clayton Ruby, argued
that the forces had violat,

Roberto S~tos, like many others,,did not trust the $}'Stem.When he andhis lover, Manuel Borrero, decided tomove into the Frederick Douglass
Houses,a housingprojectinManhattan Valley, a predominantly
poor neighborhoodon Manhattan's
Upper West Side, they thought betterof telling any of the building'S authorities. Maybe they had grown up withthe same torturers I had known, andhad learned early on that in a neighborhood like this, it was best to keep~•your gayness to yourself. For poor
people of color, queer-bashing has
a/ways been on the rise. Their silence
lasted six years.
In December 1989, Manuel Borrero, whose name, like that of hislover, has been changed for print, diedof AIDS. A week later, the Housing Authority started an eviction proceeding
against Roberto Santos, on the grounds
that he was merely a licensee and notentitled to remain in his apartment.
Through word of mouth, Roberto Santos heard about the MFY Legal Services
office in Hell's Kitchen. There, he befriended Theresa McGovern, a woman
who long ~go r~ized that the System
was not designed with poor people
and people of color in mind.
On March 8, McGovern moved
into action. Forwarding a letter toRemilda F:erguson, the project manager
at the Douglass Houses, she requested
a grievance meeting, mandated by
NYCHA regulatiOns, to discuss Santos'
status as a remaining family member.
But despite her request to have all
future correspondence regarding thematter sent to her, on March 14, a representativeof Douglass Houses
aproached Roberto and demanded his
presence at a meeting on the following day. Mr. Santos refused to attend
the m~eting. After dozens of unreturned phone calls, McGovern wasable to inform the project manager
that she would be representing Mr.
Santos, that it was the tenant's right tohave a grievance meeting in the presence of a lawyer before eviction proceedings were' initiated, and that her
office must be contacted when a definite date was scheduled. But on March
30, a letter was sent to Santos demanding his presence at a grievance meeting scheduled for April 4.
Santos and his lawyer were toldthat it would be inappropriate to proceed with a grievance procedure, andhousing officials speculated that Santos
had moved in a month before ManuelBorrero died to "get the apartment."
Refusing to allow Mr. Santos to provethat he had been living in the apartment for six and a half years-andtherefore was indeed a surviving member of Manuel Borrero's family andignoring the fact that an eviction

by Susie Day•

ear Ms. Understanding,

D I am deeply depressed. Here's

I

why. I'd been feeling pretty down on
myself as a lesbian lately, so I decided
to take a life-renewing,
Goddessafflfming walk through the park-QDd
ended up picking I;lly way throughhordes of disgusting heterosexual
couples making love right out in the
open. I was so angry! To think that if I
even held my lover's hand in that park,
those same straight supremacists would
pummel us with rocks, bottles and fists.
I feel ·so rejected as a person, so
hopelessly asexual. There seems to be
no place where I can safely express
my lesbian warmth and multidimensional eroticism. How long, oh, howlong must I wait to be me?

Wen of Nothingness

Dear Well,•but it is hardly soul-destroying if treated SCientifically.
New aerosol sprays, such as "Het
Guard" and "Straight Away," keep thosepesky scratchers at bay for l!P to 12hours, by emitting strong, noxious odOrs,
such as those of rabid skunks rutting athigh noon on raw sewage. The "Breeder
Motel" is a small, portable bungalow towhich couples are attracted for quick
sex. They check in but can't check out,
having inadvertently glued themselves tothe mattress in embarrassing "whoopie"
positions. If all else fails, tJy hitting themon the nose with a rolled-up newspaper,
explaining in no-nonsense terms that
"until we all get to do that, nobody getsto do that." That:s science for you: firm
but fair.

Try doing what I do whenever I'min the dumps: Tum to science. If you'dlook at your problem scientifically,
you'd see that what you're experiencing is not a denial of your sexual
existence but a simple pest infestation,common to parks and playgrounds at
this time of year. According to recent
clinical findings, straight ~ouples makeout in public not to express affection
but to satisfy primitive territorial urg~
to claim their heterosexual"tur£"much in the same way that little doggies spray fife hydrants. One can almost hear this instinctual life
force coursing through their
cerebrums: "Oogh! Lookat nice bench. Me
want. Me take girlfriend, go fuck on

initials.

warmth and multidimensional eroticism.
Dear Ms. Understanding,
Just because I am a gay man does
not mean that I read gay publications
only for sex and gossip. I read themfor an expanded view of world affairs
and trenchant socio-political analysis.
The trouble is, I never find any.
Why, for instance, has there been
nothing in our leading lesbian and gay
media about the Persian Gulf crisis?
What is wrong with our lesbian andgay consciousnesses,that we can't
allow into it an event that is likely to
divide the world for years to come, if
not result in al.l-out nuclear war?
Reading lesbian and gay publications, i
one gets the bizarre impression that fc!

and the joint chiefs of staff simply
don't exist. Why can't our media be
more responsive
to global issues?
We're all interconnected, you know.

Dear Concern~
You've got your nerve. The
lesbian and gay media are indeed
concerned with world affairs. Heck, I'dlove to fmd out what the joint chiefs (ofstaff do-but not before I find out how
many of them are gay. It's a simple
matter of priorities.
Reflect for a
moment. Why should we, as lesbians
and gay men, take part in analyzing
the prospects for nuclear obliteration,
when we're rendered invisible by themainstream media in the first place?
Reflect further: You're home, watching
thirtysometbing on 'IV. Suddenly, anannouncer interrupts: "This just in: Hbomb rips open gay bookstoredetails at 11." Will we ever comeacross a headline like this in our whole
lives? No. Why? Because it can't
happen? No. Because of mainstream
media homophobia? Yes.
It hurts, not to be included. Don't
you think I get bored and lonely, writing
only about lesbians and gays, lesbians
and gays, lesbians and lesbians ...men::y, I
hate having to write "lesbians and gays"
every other sentence-it takes so muchtime to type! Don't you think I crave amore glamorous, intellectually stimulating
lifestyle? Don't you think I know myhorizons need widening? Here I am,
writing this sensitive, liberating, free-tobe.;.you-and-me column, and I live inconstant fear that I'm going to saysomething politically incorrect. (Gosh, I
sure hope I didn't offend anyone bysaying that.)
It's just that I've got an ide~tity tomaintain, dammit. A lesbian and gay
identity that I'm really proud of, andthat you, with your eensy, weensy,
little global mentality would neverunderstand. If that identity didn't exist,
neither would I. It's the same with thelesbian and gay media. We're allitching to get into world affairs just assoon as the mainstream media start.calling them a gay problem.

of Higher Education. reveal a fundamental bias against gay people. The July
18 issue carried an article titled "Rare
Quiets in Summer Training Worry About
Campus Protests Aimed at the Penta. gon's Policy Banning Homosexual
Recruits."
The article quotes at length several
cadets in favor of the ban. One states
ftatly that a ban on hin themilitary doesn't discriminate against
anyone. Anoth~ self-righteously argues
that critics of the policy are unfairly
punishing people like him-who arewilling to serve their country, completely
missing the point that many gay people
want to serve too and are being
arbitrarilydenied the opportunity.
The anti-discriminatory perspective is represented
by two college
students, neither of whom is in ROTC
or identified as gay or lesbian. Whatthey say is fine, if bland. But where are
the leSbians and gay men? And where
are any of the gay ROTC cadets who
have been dismissed? As usual in the
media, gay and lesbian people are not.allowed to speak for themselves .
A week later, the Cbrontcle published an article about group relations
on college campuses. The author speaksof racism, antisemitism and sexism, ofcourse, but makes no reference tohomophobia. If one vague reference to"personal lifestyle" is supposed to servethat purpose, it's not only insufficient
but also insulting. The choice to smoke"•marijuana, say, or eat meat are aspectsof one's lifestyle; sexual orientation is
not a lifestyle.
This article is a aitique of a study
published by the Carnegie Foundation

with AIDS , homeless, the meeting was
abruptly adjourned.
. Anyone who has ever seen theinside of a housing project knows that
it is often only in dire desperation thata person can exist there. Anyone who
has ever survived as a gay man or lesbian in the projects knows that in no
instance is one's lover considered by.NYCHA to be a family member. RobertSantos must have known all of this. He
was a person with· AIDS afraid of
being homeless. He was in good spirits
until the April 4 meeting and, as far as
Theresa McGovern could see, in good
health. On April 11, 1990, exactly one
week after the meeting, Roberto Santos
was found dead in his apartment.
Some of his friends think of it as murder. Others speculate suicide.
Without much help, Theresa
McGovern continues her fight against
NYCHA's insensitivity to the new laws
redefining "family." Following an ACf
UP demo in front of NYCHA headquarters, Lynn Shey, the deputy general manager of NYCHA, promised todraft a notice for tenants explaining
the procedure for placing a partner on
the lease and send it, along with anondiscrimination policy for same-sex
partners, to MFY<for approval. So far,there have been no changes.
While many in the gay and lesbiah community
believe that the
recent court decisions affecting gay
family members in rent-controlled ,andrent-stabilized
housing are in effectand working well, for poor lesbians
and gays living in federally subsidized
and city-owned projects, the high-level
court decisions mean nothing. The

in protesting ROTC's discriminatory

1989, with the help of a campus gay
organization called the 10-Percent. Society and 12 faculty members who formed
the group, Faculty Against Discrimination in University Programs, Villasenor
got 300 signatures on a petitioilenough to convene a speciiI meeting of
the faculty. The faCulty, in tuni, voted tothrow ROTC off campus if it had notchanged its policy by 1993. At the sametime, Villasenor approached Jordan
Marsh, a student University Affairs director, arid Marsh sPonsored a similar billin the student senate, which passed
overwhelmingly. Although Villasenor
left WisconSin to attend law school at

REMED REENUSTMENT, Miriam Bsn-Shalom
But while campus gay and lesbianorganizations have been getting morepolitically involved in recent years, theirprimary function ...remains the creationof a sense of community for those who
are often just begiiming to come out.
Robert Bray, media director of the
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force,
which is trying to create a national network of campus groups, says 'that inaddition to fighting for civil rights, campus organizations also must provide
social support and education about gay
culture, as well as fight homophobic
violence and harassment. "The paradox
is that increased visibility has led toincreased attacks," Bray reports.
Although universities are often
more tolerant institutions than those in
the surrounding communities, they canbe places where a large number ofanti-gay and -lesbian attacks occur,
according to Gregory Herek, an associate research psychologist at the University of California at Davis who hasstudied homophobia and gay-bashing.
College-age males, he says, are more
likely to act on their homophobia as away to define their masculine identity.
"People in this age group are solidifying their identities. They are especiallysubject to social influence." However, ,during this period, people are also

State University, has had a far morediffiCulttime of late. When students in
his dormfound out that he and his,.
roommate we're, respectively, vicepresident and president of the campus~y o~tion,
they launched a torrent of al?use that went .on for sevenmonths before the, administration took
any action. At one point this past year,
someone put up signs in the commu.nal bathroom, one near a sink, anothernear a toilet, the third near a shower,
which read, respectively: "This is thefaggot sink." "This is the faggot toilet.""This is the faggot shower.·
After 15 students took letters fromthe administration that called for an
end to this abuse and taped them on
Scarce's door with the words "Die faggot" written on them, the university
finally took drastic action. It forced
everyone on the floor to move out by
10:00 that evening.
Scarce remains unconvinced ofthe efficacy of this solution. "I thinkthey all walked away still homophobic.
I would have stayed if I could haveedµcated people or changed their minds. "However, now the university
seems to be making some effort to pay
attention to gay and lesbian concerns.
It has hired an administrator in chargeof gay: and lesbian affairs and is collecting harassment statistics. The publicity has also increased membership in
the campus lesbian and gay organization. The tenor of the group haschanged as well.
"It used to be a group of people
who said, 'Gosh we're gay. We'll get
together in secret and talk about gay
problems,'·says Scarce. Now hereports that the group is trore concerned with empowerment. "We can let
people !mow we're here. We can standup and fight for our rights and win."This experience has empowered
Scarce as well. "I always thought 1

Gay Ed in Grammar School?

by Jeffrey Fennelly
ver a decade since Harvey Milk andO company successfully fought back theabsurd Briggs Initiative, which sought to banhomosexuals from teaching in California
schools, the fight nationwide for legitimate
represen1atlon of lesbian and gay luues In
mainstream curricula remains dreadfully
slow. AsIde from a few loose dead bolts, thedoors of elementary schools in most major
lesbian and gay urban centers across the US
remain tightly closed to lesbian and gay
Issues. Even in San Francisco and Los Angeles, where educators have begun acknowledging activist demands for cuiTicular inclusion of lesbian and gay iuu88, the clouds ofresistance still hover dense and low.
But while change-where it is occurrin~s at worst cosmetic and at best barely
detectable, some progress is being made.
And community service organizations for lesbian and gay youth, their tiny staffs alreadyswamped with the task of preventing our
young from falling through cracks carved out
by a complacent school system, are principally the ones tuming up the heat on thatvery system. Virginia Uribe, founder andcoordinator of the 6-year-old Project 10,
which provides outreach and counseling for
lesbian and gay youth in the LA unified
school district, is among those solitary
fighters, as are the people at New York's
nationally reknowned Hetrick-Martin Institute for Gay and Lesbian Youth.
Surprisingly, in San Francisco, where achild is most likely to have met an openly gay

person either in her bus driver, her mail carrieror-horrorsl-her
teacher, before reaching
the second grade, only minimal progress has
been made: The most recent victory which
advocates for queer-sensitive education canboast of is a resolution, passed in June 1990,
to hire a "han-time gay and lesbian supportservices provider" whose office will serve as
the district's sole resource for students at
risk. "Modeled on LA's Project 10," according
to Debbie Grantz, assistant to Dr. Beverly
Bradley of SPs Health Program's office, thissingle-staffed "program" is slated to start its. engines by Sept 4, the first day of school. At
press time, no one had been hired for the
position. There is presently no official treatment of lesbian and gay issues in the publicschool curriculum on any grade level,
according to Grantz, although "homosexuality does come up," she said, "in general andon occasion," as a natural byproduct of themandatory elementary-level AIDS education
curriculum, and because "this is San Francisco, the issue is on kids' minds." A recently
fonned Family life Education Committee,
comprised of parents, community members
and district personnel, will present recommendations to the SF-board this fall, andamong those recommendations will be amore sensitive treatment of lesbian and gay
issues. liowever, said Grantz, parental threats
to withdraw their children from such a gaysensitive program has some on the commtttee curbing their otherwise pro-gay tongues.
Both Uribe and Andy Humm of Hetrick-Martin say that while gestures have been
made by their school boards to Incorporate a
gay and lesbian focus on the middle and highschool level, elementary school children are
still taught, by their official curriculum, thatmommy and daddy's kind of love Is the only
kind of love. Using LA's World of DiffBretJCB
curriculum, a program aimed at fostering tolerance for cultural differences, as a context
for lesbian and gay-centered lessons, Uribe
spent last year fighting opposition to Inclusion of lesbian and gay concems in the curriculum. While the anti-defamation league, anoriginal sponsor of World of DIff"ence,"didn't take well to the gay and lesbian
issue," according to Uribe, LA's junior andsenior high schools now have a series of'lessons devoted to the Issue of lesbian andgay youth. On the elementary level, however,no such lessons exist, and Uribe explainsthat outreach to individual cla88l'CK!mteachers is virtually the only inroad thus far. In
addition to her outreach and counseling sessions for teens, Uribe runs sensitivity-training
workshops for teachers and counselors.
While attendance at such workshops
depends on individual initiative, Uribe notes
an increasing number of cases in which elementary school teachers are incorporating
the concept of tolerance of lesbians and gays
into their regular lessons. Though clearty the
exCeption and not the rule, Uribe citeS as an
example of this a language teacher who;

had every intention of devoting this col-I umn to a, rational yet blistering accountof my recent "Dining Out!" at the Lady
Lazarus Cafe, where dying is an art, but theroast beef is a challenge. Of course, I also
had every intention of graduating from VIScount Bennett High School with the rest of
my class, starring in a Broadway musicalbefore the age of 25, spending Christmas
1980 in the arms of the man I loved. I evenhad every intention of bringing this column
in under budget and under deadline thisweek. The point I'm trying to make here isthat the very best intentions, while capable. of paving an entire expressway to hell, canneither anticipate nor prevent certain factors certain deterring factors-from coming into play andturning an enterprise completely upside down. Who, forexample, could have foreseen that my tenure at Viscount Bennett would be cut short by an overzealous(and certainly homophobic) assistant principal bent on
making a name for himself with the board of education? Who could have foreseen that the policies of the
Reagan administration would have such a direct anddeleterious impact on my promising stage career? And
who in their right mind could have ever foreseen the
tragic confluence of calamities (not the least of which
was the election of the aforementioned Ronald Reagan) that smashed Christmas 1980 into a million glittering, but nonetheless shattered, pieces like a particularly fragile glass ornament? Who indeed? Certainly not I.
The important thing, of course, is not to let yourself beweighed down by regrets bitter, bitter regrets-but toforge ahead with hope and determination in the face ofaltered circumstances.
I offer this by, way of explanation both to you-myreaders and, perhaps more importantly, to my precious
but sOmewhat impatient editor. You see, a funny thing happened on the way to "Dining Out!" First of all, and 'quite
late in the day, I received a cancellation from my dinnerpartners, Alvin and Earl, who had contracted a simultaneous case of wisdom tooth extraction. (It's quite a touching.measure of their mutual devotion that they do so manythings together like that. A shared interest in your partner's
activities is, so I've been told, vital to a continued andenrichingrelationship.) Secondly, though I really hate to•point an .accusing finger, somebody has apparently been
tampering with .the entries in the Annual Summer Fudge
Competition: Last week, they were, shall we say, removed
from myoffice while I was in the commissary. Since then,I've spent most of my time trying to get to the bottom of
this mystery. Believe me, it hasn't been easy.

There are, you see, no other employees on the 51st floor of the OutWeekbuilding, so I've been unable to find any
witnesses to the theft. Even the heretofore ubiquitous window washer has
been strangely absent since the incident.
(I exempt him from suspicion, since thewindows, as far as I know, don't open).
If the roving-eyed portrait over my desk
saw anything,' it's maintaining a stonysilence, as are the all-hearing irises next
to my telephone. The mailroom employees, when questioned, just run out of
my office as though they fear myenquiries will bring trouble. Our personnel liaison, Edelweiss, whose "aunt"'s
entry was the only one left behind by the thief (orthieves), hasn't shown her face around here in quite awhile. I called up to her office, but her assistant,Blossom, (Or was it Snow? I •have such trouble distinguishing their voices), said that Edelweiss was"away ... on vacation. That's right, away on vacation,"
before quickly hanging up.
Finally I went to an off-premises meeting of theContributing Writers' Grievance Committee in the Nickel-and-Dime Room of the Community Center because if
a missing gross of competition entries doesn't coostitutea grievance, I don't know what does. At the outset ofthe meeting, however, the facilitators requested anybody present with an office on the 51st floor of the
Out Week building to identify themselves. When I did so,a vote was then taken to determine whether or not I
should be allowed to stay. After a 30-minute discussion,
an amended proposal finally carried that permitted me
to audit the. organizational portion of the meeting but
required that I leave before any future actions were discussed. I missed nothing, as it turned out, because theentire meeting was given over to a protracted struggle
between the Rules .Committee and the Fund-Raising.Committee for supremacy on the agenda. Fund-Raisingwon, as it always does, and I left after two hours, whenthe motion to rent Symphony Space for a benefit concert was being brought to a vote.
Sitting in the revolving cocktail lounge of the Marriott Marquis Hotel and listening to the pianist play
"Before the Parade' Passes By," I resolved that there
will be no more "Dining Out!" until I've solved thispuzzle. Those of you who submitted entries in the
Annual Summer Fudge Comp~tition will, I'm sure,understand, and the rest of you will, I'm sure, be sympathetic to the cause. It's really only my editor I'mworried about. T

PUMP UP THE VOLUME. Written and directed by Allan Moyle.
Produced by Rupert Harvey and Sandy Stern. New Line Cinema •.

TOKEN GESTURES?-MaybB

by Monica Dorenkamp"You ever get the feeling thateverything in America is really fucked
up?" asks the opening voice-over in
Canadian director Allan Moyle's newfilm, Pump Up the Volume, setting atone which is sustained throughout. As
the latest offering in the "disgruntled
and rebellious teen" genre, Pump llJ issometimes more intelligent than muchof its adolescentphilosophizing
implies. Specifically, the film presents.
something of a teen response to America's current censorship debates.
There are lots of characters in thisfilm, some of whom appear for ten
minutes and are never seen again. The
effect is something like being in highschool-you see and recognize everybody, but you never really know
them-which is a good thing, ultImately, as all the action takes place in
Hubert Humphrey High in Arizona,
where our hero has just moved withhis family.
Wandering the school corridors are
all the usual high school types (identifiable mostly by their wardrobes). There
are the jocks in their varsity jackets,
the prissy rich girls surrounded byequally prissy sweatered boys, thetoken pseudo-punks,
thebeautiful and trendy girls
and most everyone else,
dressed in jeans and dull
shirts that their mothers
probably bought them. If

SamanthaMathis knows.
,
you'veever

seen

an episodeof

DeGrassi High (also Canadian), you'll

know what I mean.
In the midst of all this is ChristianSlater, whom we all know (and maybe
even love) from that real teen surprise,
Heathers. Slater plays Mark Hunter,
who uniquely fits into two different
adolescent types: the excruciatingly
shy, always-Iooking-down-at-his-feet
type, as well as the extroverted, funny,enonnously popular type. How do twosuch disparate personalities converge
in the same person? Is this a highschool Sybil? No, the explanation isSingular and even somewhat believable. The shy Mark Hunter becomesthe loud Happy Harry Hard-On when
he is on the airwaves-every night at
10 pm.
Worried that his son may have difficulty adjusting to their Arizona move,Mark's father buys him a ham- radio so
he can talk with his friends back East.
But something goes awry somewhere,
and soon Mark has his own pirate station. He lets down his inhibitions initially because he dqesn't think anyone
is even listening; by the time everyone
is', the radio has provided
him with an outlet he can't
do without.
Happy Harry immediately represents the rebellious teen spirit. He plays

music that challenges the powers thatbe; often, it is stuff. that has beenbannedor labeled "obscene."(For some.
.
reason, a number of these' songs like
Ice-T's "Girls LGBNAF" don't appear
on the film's soundtrack.) When notplaying music, he is either simulating
masturbation or dropping pearls' ofadolescentwisdom from his lips.
Eventually he becomes the local teen
guru, leading his,claSsmates to self-consciousness: 'The perfect student/daughter/girl,' Paige puts her pearls and Yale
penant-symbols
of what her parents
think she should
be-intothemicrowave one night; the resulting
explosion resonates through Hubert
Humphrey's corridors. Antiestablishment, prO-~talk hard" graffiti goes up.
,A market for tapes of Harry's shows iscreated. Inevitably, parents and teachers start to take notice.
Trouble really begins when a suicidal student writes to Happy Harry,
who then calls him up on the air.

.HOSANNA by Michael Tremblay. Directed by Charlie Hensley. Actors'
Playhouse. 100 Seventh Avenue South. (212) 691-6226.

by Michael Paller
The shattering of illusions is not thegreatest enticement for theater-goers. We
all have our dreams, after all, and thesight of other peoples' being dashed canlead to the uncomfortable feeling that
our own may be the next to go. One
hopes that audiences won't stay awayfrom Michael Tremblay's Hosanna on
this account, as some very fine acting, as
well as' a challenging-end even entertaining-play, would be missed.
Hosanna is the drag' name of
Oaude Lemieux, a Qu~becois hairdresser by day and womanof the world by night.
Such is the image hehas devised for himself, anyway, and it isshared, grudgingly,

by his lover, Cuirette a biker withdelusions of his own. One Halloweennight, Hosanna's self-image is shatteredby his erstwhile friends, other denizensof the Montreal drag world who apparently have had enough of Hosanna's
airs and tart tongue.
When we first see him, Hosanna .
is Oeopatra via Elizabeth Taylor, complete with sequined gown, spray-painted silver sandals and the famous black:wig, eye makeup and beauty mark.
Two hours later, all signs of this fabrication' are gone, and Hosanna's future
is in doubt. All that,remains is Claude, . fi
standing naked be- e;fore his lover.
i!
HosannalsI.
about the tearing

away of false identities, not the seeking
out of new ones. Still,the de$trUctionof
a false identity can allow for the construction of an authentic life. Hosanna is
not about to face the truth alone, however; he makes sure that Cuirette(another pseudonym-his real name is
Raymond Bolduc) confronts his illusions as well. When the long night isover, Cuirette has acknowledged that heis neither the young, handsome biker
he fancies himself nor the "man" of thehouse-he admits who brings home thebacon and who cooks the meals, whopicks up the broken glass and whotakes out the garbage (if this 1973 playis dated, it is in its assumptions about
gender-specific behavior, in •bed andout).
Hosanna's advertising tells us,"Between Boys in the Band and TorchSong Trilogy, there was Hosanna,"
which is not a bad way to think about
it. This play, with its brief 1974 Broadway run, is indeed somewhere
between the homosexuals (whom somenow consider pathetic) of Mart Crowley's play and Harvey Fierstein's prouddrag queen. Being in between is precisely Hosanna's problem: "When I'mdressed like a man," he says, "I'mridiculous. When I'm dressed like awoman, I'm ridiculous. But I'm really

JUSTICE by Tosbi Reagon (Flying Fisb Records).
TOSm REAGON. The Bitter End. 147 Bleeker St. Wednesday, Sept., 5.

by Jacquie Bishop.

. "If'you have nothing in your life
worth dying for, then you're not living..."-Anonymous revolutionary"Keep Artists Working"-A

T-shirt making the New York

Cilyrounds"The cold rain cries for justice."-Toshf Reagon
There is a general belief
that one's success is directly
linked to hard worlc , commitment and luck. If this is true,
then Toshi Reagon (yeah,
yeah, she's the daughter ofBernice Johnson
Reagon of
Sweet

Honey and the Rock) is prepared totake the folk-rock community by storm.
Toshi, who has recently returned froma successful international tour as the
opening act for Lenny Kravitz, has
finally released herlong-awaited
second album, Just1ce, a potpourri of politics, bass and percussion, rally cries
and laughter.
From the -first cut, "Walking inYour Footsteps" (written by Sting),
Toshi seems to walk the land, pondering. "You' walked 50 stones high/Theysay you would not hurt a fly./If we
explode the atom bomb,/W'tll they say
we were dumb?" With its bouncy beatand simple story ("You were Godls
chosen one, but you could not 'last"),the song at first seems like a throwaway, but the challenge rings strong:
Humans, return to your simple ways,
or you too shall perish. "Colors," with
its finger-picking intro, is more of ahistory lesson. "What are the colors of
the people living in the world
today?!Who are the chained, and who
are the changed?lWill I fight for therights of someone different than

their throats on some hearty Broadway
melodies of late, and the result has'less often been a trip uptown than aglut of gilded lilies. Night Music's signature tune, "Send In the Clowns," hasbeen the most seriously aggrieved ofthe lot, and a single veteran of lieder,. Barbra Streisand, improved its legacy inevery way. Streisand got Sondheim to
write new lyrics, fixing a problem it had

I?/Sometimes I just don't understand."The music moves quickly over a slow
rock beat, with Afrocentric instrumen~
tation offsetting a country and western~etwang.
In the bluesy "How Long," written
by Bernice Johnson Reagon, Toshi
puts it in the government's
face,
singing; "How long will I have to wait
on you?/I've been standin' at the station waitin' for the change to come."
The vocals are tight, and the guitar
picking and harmonica playing could
be straight from the front porch ofsome turn-of-the-cehtury
Southernmusician. In "We Got a Right toChoose," Toshi reminds us that as
Blacks, "we've got a right to choose allthat we want to do," again harkening
back to our history, reminiscent thistime of the line from the old Negro
spiritual that says that we won't "let noone tum us around."
In "Yonder Come Day, and Jesus
Walks," Toshi walks us through spirituality, while "Foolish Attitudes" showsan angrier side. Either way, when
Toshi says, "Tum it up," she's referring
to both the music and the passion. In
the title cut, "Justice," the guitar picking is again fierce, with superb percussion by Casselbeny and DuPree.
What's great about the album overall is the stance and the challenge, notto mention the invited backup artists(drummer Annette Anguilar; vocalists
Casselbeny arid DuPree; fonner lavender Light lead alto soloist, Lovejoy Sims;
and the irrepressible Bernice Johnson
Reagon). In addition, the words are
provocative, the music is engaging, andToshi's vocals are, at best, polite. While
Toshi is an accomplished musician(acoustic, bass and electric guitar, harmonica and percussion) and songwriter, her limited vocal capacities inhibit
the true passion of each song fromshining through. Most of the time shesings in a mezzo-soprano range, but.her strength is her alto range, as evidenced in "Yonder Come Day" and"How Long." In these songs, her voice
was moving and engaging, reminiscentof a Black girl singing in church. Since
most vocalists sing more passionately
when they're on a stage than in a studio, I couldn't help but want more,
An important note: Toshi Reagon
Is not Sweet Honey and the Rock.
While she acknowledges the influenceof growing up in a household "where

the rehearsals
happened
every
week':""'-rain or shine," she is also
working hard to carve out a niche forherself in the rock-folk world. With asuccessful tour, a solidly produced

second album and hundre<Is of yearly
performance gigs under her guitar
belt, Toshi is better, stronger and.
more coinmitted. Her road to successis assured. T•

FIRE IN THE RAIN... SINGER IN THE STORM by Holly Near.
William Morrow & Company. $19.95 cI. 290 pp.
by Anne Rubenstein
Almost all the best living Englishlanguage Writers are politically committed women: Buchi Emecheta, Nadine
Gordimer, Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison,
Grace Paley, Adrienne Rich. This is
tough competition for a first-time
author, but Holly Near (whose long,honorable career as a singer and leftwing activist needs no introductionhere) was not daunted. Perhaps sheshould have been. Anyone who loves
beautiful language, brilliant narrativeor original thought should run to thenearest lumberyard for the proverbial
ten-foot pole with which
not to touch Fire tn theRain ... Singer in the
Storm, Holly Near's
autobiography.
Near admits that"grammar is impossible for me," andalthoughher collaborator,
Derk
Richardson, seems to have helped her
with that, he has not done much else
for the book. The story line seems notdeliberately convoluted but carelessly
rumpled. And Near does not merely
mix her metaphors, she puts themthrough the Cuisinart: On the first
page, she tells us, "All my life I havegone out on a limb, but the limb hasturned into a bridge, and there is cool,clear water flowing under." She goeson-in
the very next sentence-to
muse that "time has passed throughme and becomeasong," which "grins at ~me and draws my :>'attention to the mighty

1V movie. Ftre tn the Ratn has everything a good chick-rocker story needs:. Name-dropping! ~ Money! E-Z historical references! Drugs! A good index!
In Near's autobiography, we fmd
dutiful descriptions of close family ties,
just like Albert Goldman's Elvis. Look
for the scene in which Near joins her
sister on Sesame Street. There are con. fessions of embarrassing public behavior, as when Near gets a bucket ofwater thrown on her by Oscar the

Since bull-apes in Kuwait and
Kennebunkport., drum their chests at
one another over nation~l religious
rights in an age when science' h'as
made the world one target, we should
not be surprised that their subjects arestill primitive enough to try to suppress
images out of alien mytholOgies. Jesse
Helms is only the latest in a long lineof heterosexual
witch doctors who
work to, eim:cise the homO$eXUalspirit.
As a gay playwright, I have had agay theater closed before me this year
(one state's only gay theater was toldby the state that it could either do only
straight plays and get huge grants or
gay plays and lose even its own small
grant), and a major New York off-offBroadway theater, famous for its daring, canceled a gay play of mine without notifying me and doesn't answer
my phone calls. Gay theaters are closing all the time; if the NEA's anti-gay
ruling sticks, not only they, but friendly straight theaters, will be forbidden
to represent us.
Whom does this hurt? Any gay
person who has limited or negative
self-images and would profit by seeing
new and varied ones enacted. And all
the other groups who will be silenced,
one by one, if gays are forbidden free
expression: Blacks (if Helms remains
at the helm), Jews, reds, intellectuals,
dissenters, women.
Frankly,· I wish that off-off-Broadway, where .Bay theater originated andstill prindpally happens, had remained
as it began: totally free and unpaid
theater done in places Oike the historicGaffe Cino) that made their living byother means. To accept help from theestablishment
means, eventually,
inevitably, to be forced to accept
establishment standards. Let us not for-get that the establishment doesn't wantto know that we exist except as funnydrag parodies of silly women or as Godpunished, pathetic, weirdly sexy victimsof AIDS .
Only as an arena free in every
sense can gay theater survive tobroaden our ideas of our possibilities.

Hosanna (and Claude) because he,like the rest of us, would' prefer tohold onto his illusions. What makes
Hosanna a strong character is that,once forced by circumstances to confront his life, he does so with a determinationthat
lifts him beyond thestereotypical "pathetic drag queen."David McCann's performance
reinforces this strength. He never asks
for our pity, nor does he play Hosanna as simply angry or rather, onenote angry. His outrage has many
modulations, and he is also quick to
see the humor in many situations .
Tremblay changes the play's form
midway from being essentially realistic
to being 'suddenly conscious of theaudience's presence. Most of Act 2
consists of a long monologue in which
Hosanna relates the events leading up
to his humiliation-illl obstacle for any
actor, which McCann. overcomes by
delivering the big speech with truthand great attention to detail.
.
The same may be said for David
DeBeck as Cuirette. Both men's performances are notable for what they
do when they're not talking: They 1isten. Under Charlie Hensley's direction,
they are not afraid to stop talking,either, and they fill pauses with action
and with thought, too. We believethem, because their words have theweight Qf fully imagined experiencebehind them.
Despite the fact that Hosanna is astrong character, some no doubt willsee. him as pathetic and the playwrightas a self-hating homosexual. But they
are wrong. Hosanna's central
illusion•.is neither that he is a woman(he•knows very well that he's a man) nor
that because he is gay he must "act"like one. Rather, he believes that hislife is glamorous, like his idol's, Elizabeth Taylor. The dreariness of his
apartment (designed with appropriate
restraint by Judi Guralnick) and thetackiness of his Cleopatra get-up
immediately give the lie to his visionof a resplendent existence, Indeed, allof his dreams are bulwarks not against
'

•

•

his anatomy but against the prosaicness of his life.
There are a few lapses in an otherwise fine production. It's too badthat Hensley chose to, end the first act
with a recordingof "I'm Just a
Woman," as if this were Hosanna's
primary self-deception. The beginning of Act 2 is also curious: Hosanna frolics to bouncy music, but thewords immediately following areindicative of anger and despair.
McCann's accent is, on occasion,
problematic, but here again, Tremblay (a Quebecois playwright who
writes in French) creates obstacles
for his actors. Presumably, the characters are- ,speaking French, and so, accents ought not be necessary. But
Hosanna's dialogue'is replete with
French idioms which would soundabsurd without an accent and speechrhythms that feel French (De Beck,
whose speeches have few idioms,
doesn't use an accent).
,
It is rare 'to see a commercial
production of a play like Hosannain New York. The producers risk theire both of those who view any
image of a drag queen that is not

Sally Ann Howes has the toughest challenge, the memory of Glynis
Johns' 'complex, eloquent and eminently sexual Desiree Armfeldt.
Excepting her more considerable
height, Howes' Desiree couldn't look
more like Johns', and she still manages to create her own original, anaffecting, absorbing account of awoman who will not give up theghost: "Well, maybe next year."
Howes' bravest move is to mirror
Johns' posture in the big moment,"Send In the Clowns." It's the mostbristling kind of professionalism
because the choice worked then,and it works now so well, in fact,
that, should you care to, you caneven close your eyes and send in
Glynis Johns for an instant. There's
always a reality as luscious to comeback to. Performing doesn't get
more gracious,

Desiree is all about. T

much for transgenerational Sapphism.
OutWeek readers will, however, wantto know all about Holly and Meg

Even politics are common fodder
for pop star autobiographies: Loretta
Lynn stands up for birth control andregrets campaigning for Nixon; Jeannie
C. Riley (her hit was "Harper Valley
PTA") finds Christ and blames her
career troubles on the international
Jewish conspiracy; Julie Bu(chlllargues that governmental control ofamphetamine distribution is a plot tokeep poor London youth docile; Holly
Near asSerts that her record company
suffers'INS harassment. Although only
half of these examples correspond 'to'reality as we !mow it, the inclusion ofpolitics of one kind or another isnothing unusual in the female "astold-to" genre.
Before the serious-minded get
seriously pissed at this review, letme add that dishy accountsofdemi-famous lives can have serious
meaning. ,Feminist theorists havepointed to the liberating potentialof "trash" books, because the truthsof women's
lives are so often
silenced in more respectable forms.
In tbis country over the past century, movie stars and pop singers
have borne a burden that was once'
assigned to deities: Their lives show
us the possiblllties and' limitationsof our own and help reinforce our'notions of morality by showing thepunishmentof wrongdoers.
So
when' female stars talk about theirlives, and all the contradictions
imposed on them by trying to live 'in a woman's body under patriarchal rules, we hear our own confusions made more real. This is astrue when we read about Jeannie C.
Riley failing to comprehendheradulterous attraction to a man ofthe "wrong- religion as it is when
we read of Janis Joplin's hopelesswish that a woman's love would
save her from heroin (it is no accident that Near herself writes about
how important Judy Garland's 'life
story was to her).
What makes it even more
fun and, yes, liberating-to
read
Holly Near's story is that thedetails of her life are the details
of ,our own. Loretta Lynn writes
about the pain of childbirth, but
Holly tells us about the confusionsof trying
to organize
women-only events and describes
what women do when they get tothem. No matter what you thinkof Holly Near's music, she has
written the best account of the lifeof a female star since Pamela Des
Barre's classic I'm Wltb tbe Band.
And Fire In tbe Rain ... Slnger In
tbe Storm is even better, because
it is about us. Tprepared by Rick X

West St., is ,getting ready for classes, andProject first Step clients are preparing for,winter~ The street youth that ,First Step
serves (homeless', runaways or throwaways-whosefamilies, through neglect
or actual violence, have forced them outof jheir homes) are worrying about staying warm and eating. Of the estimated
10,000 homeless youth on the streets of
New York City, half are thought to be gay
or lesbian. T.he majority of First Step's
clients are male and work as prostitutes(whether as "men" or as transvestites ortranssexuals) around the meat-packing
district and on the piers. They are often
victims of violence; they are also often
blamed for it by community groups. Aftera recent mugging of a woman at the
Westbeth apartment complex, residents
directed their anger at the prostitutes,
who were spoken of as often, if not moreso, than the actual mugger. First Step
provides food, clothing, showers and. referrals at their storefront and sends
outreach teams to areas of male prostitution; the meat-pac~ing district, the piers,
Port Authority, the "meat rack" (53rdStreet and Third Avenue) and "vaseline
alley" (in Jackson Heights, the site of therecent murder of Julio Rivera, a gayman). They hand out condoms, and, formany, this is their only access to them.
Quite recently, a support.group for HIVpositive First Step clients began, paralleling the. group at Hetrick-Martin with thehealth services program.
As a young gay man or lesbian growing up outside New York, the chances tobe out and proud may be so limited as tobe nonexistent. When ooe-third of teensuicides are gily- or lesbian-related, the. urgency of support and visibility for others
like oneself is apparent. Creating a place
where you can be with your peers, wherea basic trust can be built around sharedknowledge and developing identities, is
not only a process of year-round educatiorr-it is the founding of the gay and lesbian yoUth community .•Liz' Tracey is an administrative assistant at the Hetrick-Martin Institute.
