For A Lesbian And Gay Hall Of Fame
Recently a flood of books have appeared that chronicle gay
American, history. Such books, and the interest in our history they

represent, constitute a vety encouraging trend in gay culture.
But despite our growing historical consciousness, many
myths about gay history endure. One is that the modem gay
and lesbian liberation movement began at Stonewall in 1969.
It did not. 1990 may well be the twenty-first anniversary of
Stonewall, but it's the fortieth anniversary of the start of modem
gay and lesbian liberation. That sodallandm~k was the foundins, In November of 1950, of the Mattachlne Society.
The Mattachlne founders, and their lesbian sisters In' theDaughters of BlUtis, were the first Americans to organize
politically and proclaim that gay is good. Their creed was aself-invented revolutionary concept: that gays and lesbians ,are not a group of immoral psychopaths needing treatment,
but an oppressed minority deserving civil rights. that simple
idea seems obvious to us today, ,but In 1950 it was sounorthodox and unthinkable that most gays and lesbians
rejected it. The founders of Mattachine and Bilitls had to fightagainst the weight of their own internal homophobia, as wellas the combined oppressions of'psychlatry, religion, cultural,precepts and the bitter threat of the law. Yet their long, lonely, brave struggle to found our movement was successful.
Such courage places them alongside history's greatest explorers and emancipators.
Yet unlike Marco Polo or Martin Luther King, Jr., the foundIng mothers and fathers of gay liberation are largely forgotten
by the people they helped to free. Their movement in the 50s
and 60s gave rise to the social conditions and attitudes thatmade Stonewall and its aftermath possible. Yet for most gays
and lesbians the modem period begins at Stonewall, and earlier
contributions are glossed over or forgotten.
•
This situation could be partially remedied, and our sense ofhistory strengthened, by the establishment of a formal vehicle
fOr our community to honor, its heroes. Such a vehicle could be
a Lesbian and Gay Hall of Fame. Situated in a major city, a Hallof Fame would help us focus on those individuals most responsible ford:te advan~es which have made open gay and lesbian
culture possible. Yearly induction ceremonies could shine a
Jong-deserved spotlight on the parents of the Queer Nation.
, , Our community has the historical and organizational expertise, to'easllY accomplish the founding of such a memorial. All,
that's needed is a: consensus that such an institution would benefit the growing historical consciousness of gays and lesbians.
At. the start ,of the fifth decade of our liberation, it's hard tobelieve that it wouldn't. •

bar on Ludlow Street. ArgUing that, thetrend toward censorship of homoerotic art
in the past year has created an atmospherein which people feel they, can destroy
artwork casually, Van Cook said, "I think
this is a sign of what this repression'andthat sort of thinking is leaving us."Frame's piece was a composition of
two photographs,
one in color by an
unknown artist, the other black-and-whitetaken by Frame, Both photos showed two
men sitting on a couch gently touching eachother. The work also had a reflective text,
describing Frame's discovery of the color
photograph. "It's an innocuous piece of art
in the context of art censof1!hip," Frame
stated. "I was really surprised in that thepiece seemed so unconfrontational."
According to eyewitnesses, Boys on
the Couch was taken down from the wallby a young white man who had comeinto the bar for a drink with several
friends, With the help of his group, theman smuggled the piece, which measures
18" x ~6", past the three security guards, 'took it outside and smashed it on the
ground and returned to the bar. When thegroup was confronted by the bar's staff,
they were "unabashed," according to Van
Cook. "They felt free to _commit acts ofviolence against anything that they didn't
consider art," she said. The group left
before the police could be summoned tothe scene.
,
Althoughthe piece
now hasfragments of glass embeddedin thematte, Boys on the Couch was rescued
from the street and returnedto theexhibit, which comprises over 200 works..
on auction to benefit the Tent City antihomelessness project. Frame thinks thework is stronger for its confrontation witha homophobic, censorship-minded viewer
and he-is considering adding anothermessage to the work that would explain
its slightly bedraggled state.
Last fall, the photos were part of the ..
show at Artists Space from which the NEA
rescinded and then restored funding. That
exhibit, entitled Witnesses: Against Our
Vanishing, featured works responding to
the AIDS crisis. When th~t show's curator
informed the NEA that the exhibit and its accompanying catalogue might stir some
controversy, the federal art endowment

after artists, gay men and lesbians erupted
in outrage over the action, the NEA

Gould, interviewed by phone last

required that Big Brothers NCA allow It

He was especially enthusiastic about

·'Outing' is the new term being
used by homosexuals to desaibe
the act..
of accusing public officials of being
homosexual when these officials fail tosupport the, homosexual
political
agenda," wrote Dannemeyer in his April

upon directly criticizing other Membersof Congress by name, Dannemeyer
includes in his letter quotes from
openly gay Reps. Barney Frank (0Mass.) and Gerry Studds (D-Mass.)from a March 22 Los Angeles Times
article on the subject of "outing" andaccusedthem both of political"blackmail. "Studds released a terse, two-wordstatementin responseto theDannemeyer letter.
"It's
preposterous,"
Studdsdeclared.
Congressman Frank, who Similarly
attacked Dannemeyer directly in amuch-publicized"Dear Colleague"letter in January, 1989, officiallydeclined comment on the Dannemeyer
letter.
Terming the practice "blackD!;lil,"
Dannemeyer suggested that a Howeethics panel consider the issue ofouting in its deliberations.
"Two t,ragic ironies emerge fromthesestatements, " Dannemeyer
continued. "...AlDS activists have fmallyendorsed restrictions on civil liberties ...
in the effort to fight public officials
who happen to disagree with them.""Second,» Dannemeyer added "the'outing' exercise is ,proof positive thatthe military was right all along~people
can be blackmailed• based on theirhomosexual behavior."
Dannemeyer, long a proponent of
mandatory
HIV-testing and namereportingof seropositives,has
historically brushed aside arguments
against those practices which cite civil
liberties and privacy concerns.
The California Republican further
quoted National Gay and Lesbian Task
Force Public Information Officer Robert
Bray-although not by name-from thesame Los Angeles Times article saying
how he once ran into a closeted gay
congressman in a gay bar.
"I introduced myself on the dance, floor [to the congressman) and called tohis attention the hypocrisy that he had
been legislating against gays,» Bray told
the Times. "He left the bar. He didn't
say anything. But I think he got themessage. He started voting pro-gay andhas ever since."
Contacted

look at him. Most
people don't havehis confusion. I'm
prettyeasy tospot as beingtranssexual. It's acurious thing, togauge other people's reactions,and to see how I
am perceived. A
lot of times it is
the late night cabbies that I have to becareful of. It always seems that they are
the first to grab at me ("Yo, baby-baby")
precisely when I am in the mood to deck
them for invading my space.
I was told by a friend (who had her
surgery years ago) that the first time aguy grabbed her tush she considered it a'compliment. Maybe for her-she
likes
straight men. I can't deal with them. The
notion of being treated as an object
placed on this planet solely for theirpleasure galls me to no end. I like women.
It's definitely makes life interesting, to bea pre-operative transsexual and to be alesbian. But not as uncommon as people
may think.
In the last year, since I have comeout as being transsexual, I have met
quite a few lesbians who have had
gender corrective surgery. They aregoing on with life, and generally, if they
don't mention that they are transsexual,
nobody thinks a thing of it.,They "pass."
I choose not to pass. I am personallyproud for living through 23 years of
being a little girl and then a young
woman and being told throughout thattime that I was male. It's a hell of a life tosurvive, and I see no reason to deny what
I am or to be ashamed of a defect in mygenetics that I had no control over. The
only way out of the trap in which society
places a transsexual person is to be loudand proud of who we are, and so I am. I
refuse to be told that I am not what I am,

24•

OU~WEEK

which is a woman.
Non-transsexual women are often
called "real" and "biological" women.
This implies that I am somehow fake.
But just as some women are born sterile
from a defect on one area of the genecode, there are some women born withthe wrong primary genitals due to a
defect in another area. Same problem,
different placement.
Like most kids, I was t~ained fromday one to obey my parents, and to notobey them made me "bad." After years of
having maScUlinity thrust on me by myparents,
the guilt and shame fromdenying it was devastating. I am goingagainst them by acknowledging
anddealing with my transsexuality.
I am
being "bad." This is not uncommon, anddealing with one's parents is a difficult
issue for most transsexuals (and mostlesbians and gay men in general). I justtold mine, in no uncertain terms, what I
am and what I am doing to correct the
mistakes of tpy body. They did nothandle it well. We find it easier tocommunicate by phone, not in person.
I often feel that the only otherpeople that have a problem with mytransition are in the lesbian and gay
community. Some men say they "can't
imagine why I would poSSibly want to
do this to myself," and offer their opinion
that I am involved in self-mutilation.
There are women who act as if I am an
intruder into a club of some sort. But I
must either accept what I am and get on
with my life, or I'd probably
besuccessful at another of the suicide
attemptsthat I made when I w~syounger and did not understand a lot
about transsexuality. Even so, people still
get upset with me and act in a bigotedway.
I am presently 'going throughtherapy and huge dosages of hormones;
I am facing immense legal obstacles, andan operationthat is going to be
extremely painful and traumatic, allbecause my mind and my body need toagree. To put it paradoxically: I am what
I am becoming. No person, sane or

May 9, '1990,••

insane, would put up with the day-to-day
bullshit that I deal with just because hehas a preference for skirts over threepiece suits from Barney's. My need is not
to look sweet and soft and to be Donna
Reed, but to get my body to be my bodyand to feel something besides numb.
And numbness is a pretty easy way to go
when you don't understand why yourbody just is not right, but you know that
it isn't. I just turned my feelings off to theissue for a long time and tried to survive
by acting male.
I tried all kinds of personas. I was abiker, a Dead head, a gay male, a straight
male, a jock, a prep, a junkie: you ~meit. None worked. I had to stop denying
the truth that I knew but did not want tospeak of. It took me sticking a shotgun
in my mouth before I would recognizethat the time was now to deal withmyself. It was only then that I began toget some peace in my life. I knew the
struggle was over, and I had won: I
would be me.
I realized that my sex has nothing to
do with my sexuality. I had always
sexually lived through the bodiJs of mygirlfriends because I was too numb to•experience
it myself. I'm also notequipped to enjoy genital sex. What use
does a lesbian have for a penis? Not
much, so the woman I date and I
sexually concentrate on other parts of mybody and we don't let two inches of
non-functioning flesh get in the way of areally good ,relationship,
I am learning to live my life as I
choose. This is my reality, and there aredays that I am happy to be living. A
year ago I did not expect to be
speaking
publicly
about being atransseXual woman. But I am graduallyrealizing that there are things I havelearned, that I have seen, that I neverwould-have if I was not who and whatI,
am. For today, I can live with my life
just as it is, and I thank the Goddesses
for that. T

Another crescendo
was reachedseveral minutes earlier when about 25
women blocked the key intersection of

told passersby
that themattresses constituted the only AIDS ward
for women in Cook County. The AIDS
ward at Cook Country Hospital in Chicago
currently does not admit women.
Throughout
the, lengthy demo,
activists chanted: "Health care is a right,

Police Chief Leroy Martin later told

predicting that no' police violence would
be visible "on the 5:00 news."
The morning of April 24, however,activists held a press, conference in Loopat which they displayed the injuries offive protestors, all of whom said they, hadbeen beat up by the police.

Researchers suspect that delI did
contribute to the pancreatitis deaths,
because the very severe and rapidly
developing pancreatitis had not previously been expected with AIDS. Other
drugs or diseases may also have contributed; intravenous pentamidine, forexample, can also cause pancreatitis.
All data from these cases will be analyzed to determine (1) is there is adose-response relationship, with th6sereceiving mote drug per body weightat greater risk, and (2) if any cofactors,

probably stop the drug immediately
and consult their physicians as soon as
possible. They should, also not drink
alcohol, and their physicians should try
to avoid prescribing medications thatmight cause pancreatitis."(Dr.
Yarchoan, quoted in the Los Angeles
Times, March 10, 1990.) Other experts
have noted that anyone on ddI whodevelops pneumocystis and must betreated with intravenous pentamidine
should stop using ddI while on the
pentamidine.
A major problem in treating thepancreatitis believed to be caused by
dciI is that it can progress so rapidlythat it is difficult to diagnose in time.
Other researchers have recently madeprogress in diagnosing serious pancreatitis, for example, by testing fortrypsinogen activated peptide in theurine. We do not know if this test is
yet available, or if it would be useful inthe delI trials or expanded-access program.

Perspective
Before the above information
about the risk of ddI was available,
AIDS Treatment News had heard both
good and bad reports about the drug,but mostly good. ddI seems to havemade a dramatic difference for many
people; we suspect that many who are
now alive would not be without it. We
had also heard of a number of cases
where people had to stop using thisdrug because of side effects.
Dr. Yarchoan told The WaY Street
Journal (Issue of March 12) that it was"absolutely necessary to go forwardwith phase two, or effectiveness stud~ies," the formal clinical trials mentioned above. "Only then can you put
the toxicity in the context of benefits
and go on."Drug-development experts consider this finding of toxicity with delI not
at all unusual, except for the fact that
this drug trial is being conducted In afishbowl of public attention. Initialstudies gave the drug to only a few
dozen people. Problems which rarely,
occur would not be likely -to show up
until later trials, when more patientsare receiving the drug.

for federal funding of a computerized database of "unproven AIDS
remedies"-five months after ACf
UP/NY launched a national "Open
Letter" campaign to defeat it.
ACT UP/NY charged that theplanned database, to be added tonumerous medical computet banks,
amounted to a blacklist. In a similarcancer treatment project, the "expert evaluators" chosen by Monaco
and her insurance
consultant
friends had long records as virulent
anti-alternative-healthcare
propagandists(self-styled"quackbusters").' The AIDS project's nega- ,tive evaluations of unapproved
therapies used (sometimes effectively) by PWAs-from acupuncture
to herbs to nutritional supplements-would
have discouraged,doctors and patients from, using

researchers from studying them-in

mined that we did not wish to put up
with the harassment all over again in
the AIDS area that we did in the cancer area. So we have withdrawn our
grant application."
Her reference to "harassment...inthe cancer area" alludes to last year's
intense but unsuccessful effort by organizations advocating freedom of choice, in cancer treatments to stop National Cancer, Institute funding for
Monaco's cancer database; thatblacklist will ultimately become reality. Last fall, those cancer activist,groups shared key government
documents and experiences with
ACf UP for its campaign. In February, those organizations and, holistic health groups joined AIDS
groups in a coalition to fight Em•
pnse.
But did Emprise surrender or
was it defeated? In, a vituperative
April 2 letter to me in my ACf UP
capacity, Emprise's "Medical Director" Saul Green (biochemist cbnsultant to Aetna, Prudential· and John
Hancock insurance companies)
may have let the cat out of the bag:"I have just been unofficially infonned that our grant proposal was
not approved for funding. Knowing what J do about the way yourorganization works and the waythat your new allies operate, I must
conclude, that this decision by the
NIAID was at least in part influenced by the pressure of lobby
groups like yours." (NWD officials
refused to comment, citing alleged restrictions on revealing grant status before approval.)
Green, a longtime anti-alternatives
crusader, continued: "I have seen yourslogan around town, SILENCE ts
DEArn!! I believe it is true. Your efforts
in collaboration with the snake oil establishment in the U.S. has effectively
silenced our effort.. .If silence is death,then your effort to silence us will certainly result in the deaths of desperate,,frightened patients wno fall for thesales pitches of the quacks. The experience in Guayana [sic] with 903 victimsof Jim Jones' promises and sale of false
hope has obviously taught you andyour colleagues nothing."
Behind Green's rantings lies adeep elitism reflected in his retort to
ACT UP's letter seeking community
support. To the closing sentence, "Together we can work to keep the evaluation of AIDS treatments in the handsof our community," Green snarls, "Areyou qualified by anything other than
AIDSto do this? Is a person with a br0ken bone qualified to do orthodpedics?"
Green has unwittingly exposed theanti-empowerment stanCe of Empriseand the whole "quack-busting" campaign by the medical profession, insurance industry, pharmaceutical industry
and govemment drug bureaucracy. The
issue is not qualification to practice
medicine, but to choose it, based on an
informed examination of the options.
That kind of self-empowerment-so
boldly seized by courageous PWAs
more "expert" than their doctors terrifies Green and his ilk.
Why? Because it offers theprospect, rapidly developing in the
AIDS field, that entire medical systems
different from standard drug-oriented
medicine, will' develop greater following and stature. Whether based on
carefully developed Third World experience or modem Western biological research and nutrient extraction, thesesystems lack the profit potential to get
medical establishment funding. Emprise's defeat may herald changes inthat balance of power.

More Battles Ahead
But the battle is far from over. Unconventional doctors continue to beharassed; herbs, nutritional supplements and inexpensive drugs are almost never researched; alternative therapies are rarely covered by insurance;
and the real rip-offs and falSe claims ofsome "New Age healers" remain mostly
unchallenged.
Meanwhile,
Monaco has announced she will continue to pursue
her blacklist with a slicker cover. According to AIDS Treatment News ofApril 6, Monaco "is working with universities and others to determine how.

new idea for exaggerating
their importance and getting themselves invited onto TV
talk shows in need ofaddle-brained guests."Those comments
were written by syndicated columnist Mike
Royko, who is based at
the Chicago Tribune. He
was writing about "outing," which refers to exposing the homosexuality of people who are
famous, such as OutWeek magazine's recent
exposeon Malcolm
Forbes.
There is no consensus of opinion regarding, outing in the gay andlesbian community-it's
a complex issue that
we're still debating. But
Royko totally ignored
that. In fact, he didn't discuss outing
much at all; he merely used it as a pretext to drag out some shopworn
stereotypes about gays.
'
In his column, Royko imagined
the reaction of a hypothetical business, man who had been outed as "my boss
was ver.y understanding, 'and said hewould write a glowing reference letterto the hairstyling school of my choice,"
In Royko's fevered imagination, thebusinessman concluded that he'd become tranquil when "I shoot that sonof a bitch that opened my closet door."

DIE FIRST TIME I saw him I could hardly believe my eyes.
His naked body was awesome, the shoulders broad enough tofill a doorway. The sculpted mass of his chest was covered
with soft brown fur, as were his powerful arms and legs. His
thick, uncut cock could keep a boy busy for days on end., And
the face deep, dark eyes, aquiline nose, lush moustache!-was the soulful essence of Latin masculinity.
,I,
This man who riveted my gaze, this cynosure hunk, wasI
called Bruno-or so claimed the caption under his photos inthe magazine. And; almost as astonishing as Bruno's superb
face and physique was the magazine's revelation that he was,yes, gay. Openly and unabashedly so.
When I first encountered, Bruno in the mid-1970s, I was
taking my first tentative steps out of the closet. I'd managed toseduce, thanks to dope and booze, a few of my closest straightbuddies, but I kept my distance from real gay men and theI"gay scene." In my fear and ignorance, I believed that to beI
gay meant to become a stereotype: effeminate, limp of wrist,
hysterically devoted to Judy Garland. Sure, I dug men, but that
Ii
image wasn't me.
What Bruno's pictures in the magazine did for me(besides providing abundant fantasy fodder) was to offer thealternative image of homosexu;ility that I craved. If this guy
could be gay, then why couldn't I? Not only was he a fantastic
sex object, he was also a role model. I could desire him, anddesire to be like him.
The magazine that brought me Bruno was called Mandate, and over the next months, and for several years, I discovered in its pages more great-looking, masculine guys who
redefined for me my image of gay manhood. And I came torealize that this new image of muscled bodies and assertive
butch sexuality represented a profound change occurring
throughout gay male culture in the 70s: out with the sissy, inwith the clone.
.
By the early 1980s I was operily gay, living with a lover,
and working as a writer and editor for Modemismo Publications, Ltd., the comJYdI1Ythat published Mandote. I was part ofafive-man editorial and production team that each month put
Itogether Mandate, as well as its baby brothers, Hancho andPlayguy. At the time Mandate was hybrid of nude male photo1)'1
spreads, hardcore porno stories and general interest featurearticles and reviews. The other two magazines
were strictly,,
sex, Hancho quasi-S&M and mildly kinky, Playguy more ori- 'ented to younger, boyish models.
,'I',
My editorial duties at Modemismo ran the gamut of writing "boy copy," the captions for the photospreads ("He'splayed hard on the soccer field, and now it's time to strip offthat sweaty jersey ..."), to jerk-off fiction (under the nom deporn, "Mario Mangiacazzo"), to feature articles about travel, thearts and gay politics.
Upon learning that I, worked at Modemismo, some pe0ple aSsumed the gig must be all sexy fun and gay glamor. As if
we lounged around all day in our jockstraps while hot porno
models poured into the offices to be photographed, andmaybe, in exchange for a cover shot, flung themselves on our
editorial casting couches.
But no porno sexpots were ever snapped at Modemismoj
the art directors selected the pictures from slides shown themby the photographers. During my two-and-a-half years at the'comJYdI1Y,the only porno star I ever met was AI Parker (not'- Bruno, alas), and he came in to sell some of his own pictures,

not to be photographed. (My fondest memory of Mr. Parker at
Modemismo: While waiting at the front desk one afternoon, hefound himself under the rapt gaze of Renee, the big-haired
receptionist from Brooklyn, who couldn't take her wide eyes
off the enonnous, tuberous bulge in _his 501s.)
Working at Modemismo could be fun at times, but glamorous? Not hardly. For the first time I was "out on the job,"working on gay publications with other openly gay men. But
for the first time in my journalism career I had to punch a timeclock. Modernismo resembled a factory in other ways, too.
There was an assembly-line aspect to editorial production. We
were expected to stay at our desks all day churning out copy
to fill the mags; normal journalistic practices, such as talking to sources on the phone or leaving the office to dointer:views or research, were frowned upon, if not disallowed.
Not only did I and the other two members ofthe, editorial staff crank out articles, boy copy,
porno stories and the letters to the editor supposedly written by readers, we also edited freelance
submissions 'and proofread all the material forthe three magazines after it had been typeset
We were underpaid for these "diversified~editorial duties (the art directors got more;
after all, it was the pictures that sold themagazines) and benefits were minimal.
In other words, the price of being out
at Modemismo and dping gay journalism was
exploitation, and acceptance of working conditions
8eared to maximize output, not foster creativity. ,.

,PRFSIDING,OVER TIIE,Modemismo fantasy factory was
the company's founder• and owner, a Canadian heterosexual
named George Mavety. A man of Falstaffian proportions and achainsmoker (you could locate him during his frequent peregrinations through his corporate domain by following the trailof ash), Mavety was a mercurial character given to backslapping bonhomie one minute and explosions of bad temper thenext.

He was also one savvy businessman. In 1974, Mavety saw
in the emergence of the post-Stonewall
urban gay male"lifestyle" a potential JDllCketfor a slick, nationally-distritmted,
monthly, gay magazine. Mavety knew the business end of publishing (he'd been publishing and distributing what's known in
the trade as "men's sophisticates" -hetero skin mags); he needed a gay collaborator for the new venture. He enlisted John
Devere, who had been editing and publishing a closety, After
Dark-ish arts and entertainment magazine called Dtlettante.
When Dilettante folded, Mavety told Devere that hewould back a new, explicitly gay lifestyle magazine if Devere
would be the editor. "He offered to run the business end,and I
would have total editorial control of the new magazine," recalls
Devere. "And he made good on that promise."
Devere, a fonner professor of comparative literature and aself-described "artsy-fartsy culture vulture," envisioned a magazine that would combine in-depth arts and entertainment coverage, gay lifestyle f~tures and nude male photography. In April 1975, Mandate made its debut as the "magazine of erosand entertainment.","There was nothing else ,like it at the time," claims
Devere. Blueboy and In Touch, two other gay male maga--•

the interview he speaks in soft, measured
tones, with none of the old bluster. Unaccustomed to being interviewed ("I've
turned down Newsweek," he tells me) hecarefully weighs his words, but apparently that's not the only reason for the new
soft-spokenness,"I've mellowed a lot
since the old days," he says.
Mavety wants to talk mostly about
the persistence of homophobia in American society and the problems of being apublisher of gay sex magazines-two
inseparable issues for him. ,"There's still tremendous non-acceptance of the gay lifestyle in the hinterlands," he says. "I hoped there would've

all,

it's, difficult to gauge the boundaries of
permissibility. The models display erections, but they don't ejaculate or otherwise engage in overt sexual activity. The
fiction, says Mavety, cannot include
descriptions of S&M or bondage; also
veiboten, say fonner staffers, is any mention of man-boy love and watersports.
(And anything remotely suggestive ofbestiality, as former editor Steven Danbach learned after he published a porno
story in which a cat climbs in bed with
two naked lovers, who commence fucking. Danbach says Mavety "flipped out"
when he came across this scene of pet-ophilia.)"Lots of people think that because I
publish all these magazines selling for$4,95 I must be making millions," says
Mavety. "Certainly I'm in business to makeout of the gay market after having worked
so hard to cultivate it. "Besides," he adds,"I wouldn't want to give in to censorship. I
consider myself a liberal thinker, and amaverick in my own way."
JUST HOW PROFITABLE are
Mavety's magazines? His is a privately-held
corporation, and he does not disclose circulation or sales figures. At its peak in the
mid-70s, Mandate might have sold 110,000
copies a month, but back then there wasmuch less competition. Today, with somany gay mag~zines on the market,
Mavety's and others, it's unlikely that salesof any of Mavety's titles come close to thatfigure,,A general rule in magazine publishingis that publishers sell about half the magazines they

Mavety says it'd be "foolish" to pullpress run of about 200,000 copies. An
industry veteran interviewed for this article
strongly doubts that Mavety Media Group
prints that many copies of Mandate. His
best guess is that Mav~ty's most-popular:
titles might sell around 25-35,000copies.
But with printing costs of 40 to 60

accretion of gay magazines must, by this point,
have become very profitable."''That's some of thebiggest bullshit I've ever
heard," snaps John Pre-•ston, when told that
GeorgeMavetyhad
called gay publishing alabor of love or principle.
"I can't believe for aminute that he sees it thatway. He just saw a market and exploited it."Preston,a wellknown gay author andjournalist,
workedat
Modemismo for a yeai'and-a-half during the late70s, writing articles and sex stories for thethree original magazines. Back then, underJohn Devere's editorship, "Mandate was a 'real magazine," he says. "It had some real
literary and political value. Ten years ago,
it was also one of the few publications that
regularly reviewed gay books."
For budding gay writers, magazines
like Mandate ''were valid places for us towrite and find our audiences. Now there's
a gay writers movement," notes Preston,"but it used to be that the skin magazines
were our only outlet, our apprenticeship."•Preston now lives in Maine, where hehas been interviewing local men for an,oral history project. Not a few of thesemen, he reports, told him that Mandate
and other gay slicks "were an announcement of a world to which they could
belong" when they felt
isolated in their closets.

like Mandate, Honcho, Blueboy, In'rouch, etc., "made images of gay malesexuality available, to a large number ofpeople, an especially important thing for
gay men who may be insecure in theiridentities. »WHAT DO YOU GET when you
plunk down $4.95 for one of these magazines today? Glossy color photospreads andstroke stories, and there's little to distinguish Mandate from Honcho from P/ayguy
from Torso. A non-sex feature occasionallyappears in Mandate (what remained of themixed foonat was eliminated several years

May 9,1990••,

ago) or Torso, and thelatter runs short bookreviews. But basicallythe mags merit Steven
Danbach's dismissal ofthem as "processedpom."
And how could it
be otherwise? Ithought
Modemismo was a factory when I worked
there in the early 80s,
but it was a Mom andPop operation compared to the setup at
Mavety Media Group.
Editor-in-chief
Stan
Leventhaland histhree-man staff produce eight magazines,
five of them monthlies. With so many pages to fill and somany deadlines to meet, Leventhal andcrew could hardly be expected to shape adistinct editorial personality for eadl magazine, like John Devere did for Mandate.
The current O'op of gay skin magazines, Mavety's and those of other publishers, make flO pretense of rais'ing gay
consciousness or defining a culture. They
don't need to, because today's young gay
men, unlike my generation, have so many
more sources of infonnation, thanks to the
expansion of gay publishing during thepast 15 years.
The "gal slicks" now deal §olely insexual fantasy. The quality of the photography varies, and the models mayor may
not tum you on. The fiction is usuallymundane, mechanical stuff. Blit whatever
the quality of these
magaZines, they remain, even in the ageof home video viewing, important to gay
men's sexual culture.
Their continued
presence has broader
significance in Ameri,can society.
Thatthese magaZines remain availableon
newsstands,
where
thousands of men can
buy them, is, if notliberation, at least a
rebuke to the rightwing censorship brigades so intent on
suppressing all imagesof gay sexuality. T

The plan couldn't have been any
simpler and, in fact, breathtaking simplicity was its chief attraction: I would
go to a restaurant as an openly gay
man, I would order a meal in an
openly gay manner, I would pay forthe meal with an openly gay charge
card and I would report on the eventin an openly lesbian and gay weekly
newsmagazine, recounting how I had
confronted heterosexist oppression at
its very source and dealt it theresounding blow of visibility. That
was the idea as I conceived andpitched it and my editor approved
with an affirmative shrug. Of course,
any new ventureis bound toencounter some initial difficulty, evenresistance, and enlisting the aid of acompanion wasn't quite as easy as I
had hoped. Danny, for example, reiterated his vow that he would neveragain dine with me in public. Even
though I promised him I was on new,medication he remained unconvinced.
Rhonda, on the other hand, was also
starting new medication and didn't
want to leave her apartment until it
had begun to take effect. Chris said
he couldn't go on Thursday because
he was facilitating a committee meeting and asked if I could make it
Friday but, of course, on Friday-I wasgoing to hear Michel Tremblay speakat "The Festival of Canadian Authors."
Several others didn't return mycall except for Jack who needed totell me just exactly how much hehates this new format and just exactly
how much I am going to alienate

everybody in the entire•
world. Left with no alternative, I
eventually reached an old "friend"

of Common Prayer and he. agreed tojoin me on the condition thaf J not

We agreed to meet beforehand in
the revolving cocktail lounge of the
Marlott Marquis Hotel. I arrived early,
wearing my green cardigan which isright for my coloring and the shirt asalesclerk had assured me was very
popular with the young people thesedays. After two stingers and one circuit past the Camel billboard, X finally
showed up, looking a little greyer

hadn't spoken to each other since the
Ash Wednesday of .1986. "That time I

it out in plain sight the night before
and walked out of the apartment thatmorning without it. I understood. Heordered a Dewar's on the rocks andstarted picking all the cashews out of
the bowl of mixed nuts on the ~ble.
We didn't say anything for some time.
The pianist returned from his breakand started playing Ribbons Doum My
Back. I lit another cigarette. X finished the cashews and moved on to
the hazelnuts. When the Camel billboard reappeared in my peripheral
vision he said, "Your beard's startingto get a lot of grey in it." I looked at
him and held my glance for one suspended mOinent while each of us
retraced in our own minds the circumstances and expectations that had
led us, four years earlier, to say thethings we had said in the way that we
had said them. Then X shook hishead and sighed and said he thoughtmaybe he'd better be going home. I

By Michelangelo SignorUe
Breezing
into
an ACT UP
benefit/talent
show at Pyramid last
week, I was gleefully assaulted by the
7a1ly and talented Ryan "Ivory" Landry,
onstage singing Joplin's Take a Little
Piece of My Heart,
while in drag as Liz•
Smith and while three oversized, faux
OutWeek covers hung in back of him.
The first one blared with the headline:
LIZ SMITH IS GAY. The second one
read: LIZ SMITH IS A MAN. And thethird posed an ethical question: LIZ
SMITH: NEWSHOUND
OR MUFF-tion to it nationaIIy ...We'II do it when it's
somethingthat people
can learnfrom ...But in the case yesterday, there
was no reason to tell the story."
Oh, I see.
Dubrow told Page Six: "It was a.matter of good taste and honesty fromtalking to [the lovers of the rich andfamous individuaIsl ...and feeling dirty."
The segment was replaced with a show
about a father who has sex with andmarried his own daughter.
The interesting thing is that in theitem on Page Six, Schneider says, "We
didn't want to give these people any
more attention than they've alreadyreceived." And then Richard Johnson,
Page Six's editor, adds: "Page Six agrees,
which is why the four guests are notnamed here."
RIQ-IARD, YOU ARE SO FULL OF

SHIT. AS IF TIlE NEW YORK POST HAS

I think word is getting out.
Word certainly got around last
week when SaIly Jesse Raphael canceleda show at the last minute which was tofeature Malcolm Forbes' one-time plaything, George. Warnock, and a handfulof other lovers (both straight and gay) oft~e rich and famous. Raphael told
People Page (Datty NeWs) that she was"uneasy" about interviewing Warnockand "saw no reason to dance on[Forbes'l grave." Her producer, Burt
Dubrow, told Page Six (New Yom Post):"Malcolm Forbes isn't here to defend
himself. Let the man rest in peace!"
Suddenly everyone's a moralist. It
seems all of these scum-sucking producers and talk show hosts who've put
every piece of human trash and garbage
on their shows over the years have now
developed a sense of ethics when it
comes to Malcolm Forbes' lover. As if
they've never "danced" on anyone else's
graves. As if they've never prevented
anyone from "resting in peace."
Sally's publicist, Cindy Schneider,
told me: "It has nothing to do withhomophobia ...We don't shy away fromcovering homosexuality ...The differenceis that in the past when we've doneshows like that there's been a court caseinvolved, and people were paying atten•

complete with the baby she says is his
and whom she dresses him up like. She,in fact, is one of the people who was tobe on the SaUyJesse Raphael show andwho you now won't mention because
you're suddenly so moralistic.
No, Richard. The real reason you
won't mention the names in this case isbecause of the fact that you don't want
to upset the Forbes family. BECAUSEEVEN YOU HAVE BECOME A KISS ASS
LIKE TIlE REST OF THEM.
I mean, am I really supposed tobelieve that you're suddenly
thisupstanding citizen or something? Only
one day before that item appeared you
called me up to tell me about a famous
movie actor whom you daim had a gerbil extracted from his asshole the day

after the Oscars and you wanted me toinvestigate it. If you're so fucking moral,
why the hell are spreading around suchridiculous, unfounded garbage?
But mornIism and kissing up seem·to be the order of the day. Tom
Stoddard of Lambda Legal Defense has.
been caught YET AGAIN kow-towing to
the great, straight, white patriarchy.
How embarrassing.
Last week, in Newsweek, he said
that the worst thing about "outing" isthat "it looks mean and nasty. That

.
Oh, really, Tom? Well, I certainly
haven't noticed that "being nice" hasdone anything for the gay movement. In
fact, anything that we've obtained has
come.frombeing "mean and nasty;"
from being rough .and tough and saying, I •"I'm not taking this shit anymore!"
As I'm sure you know, dear, qear
Tom, there are those who fInd ACT UP
to be "mean and nasty." Would you
therefore say that ACT UP "doesn't
advance the gay movement at all?"
Would you say that Urvashi Vaid, executive director of the National Gay andLesbian Task Force and a woman who
stood up and screamed at President
Bush during his recent bogus speech, is"mean. and nasty,"and "doesn't
advance the gay movement?" Would
you say that Stonewall was "mean andnasty" and therefore a big blunder forthis movement?
. You might like us all to be sweetand nice and good little boys and girls.

we should all be as nice as you .were
when you COWERED WHII..E SERVINGON A MAYORAL TRANSITION TEAM
AND BROUGHT US WOODY MYERS
AS HEALlH COMMISSIONER.
No. I'll take "mean and nasty" anyday.
I suppose if you stay "nice"' while
I'm being a screaming maniac, it certainly makes even more of the 'phobes sit
down to talk with you-because
theysure as hell don't want to deal withsomeone like me. And that is fine, Tom.
If that is my role, then so be it..
Look, I realize you've devoted your,.

Sydney: The PaJIadium, former homeof Lambada, hosted the Steven Cohn
Party 2, a benefit organized by Kool
Komrad Marc Berldey and Bob cavianoand held in honor of the late gay party
promoter. Being a child of the housemusic generation, this night proved to bea retro beat-matched, Hi-NRG challenge.
But for many of those that attended, it wasa nostalgia-filled night as I heard story
after story about "the old days." When one
otherwise unremarkable song was played,someone turned to me and said, "I'm getting all teary-eyed, I remember dancing tothis; whatever happened to couples
dancing, you know ,the hustle?" I quickly
reminded him that thankfully even lambada is over and out. Others were happy
to see faces of old friends and anotherman told me how wonderful it was to see
Sound Factory queen, real girl Christina
Visca at. the door as she was every Sunday night. Along with the memories, thecrowd was treated to a cavalcade of surprisingly politically aware Hot 97 stars
and former disco divas. The heat was
turned up by a tense diva war waged by
Sharon "In the Name of Love" Redd andBrenda "I just had a baby" (the truth-not asong) K. Starr as they both ganged up
on Jocelyn"Somebody Else's Guy"
Brown. The Village People

was truly shattered. I left disappointed
but less of a nightlife neophyte thanwhen I entered.
Liz: Cha Cha Fernandez and the
SlumIords played at M.K.'s last week,
after having appeared in the music section of this very magazine a few weeks
back. Having been part of a five-girl Cha
Cha Fernandez cult during high school,
there was a certain nostalgic tinge"to seeing him again. The charm of Cha Cha lies
in his rock'n'roll music against glam
sparkle scarves worn with hi-tops and a.Jeopard vinyl jacket sort of a trashy outof the closet Mick Jagger with Cher'shair. The

While there were information booths
at the site, I was shocked at how few
people took advantage of them. Most of
the one million people who stepped on
my foot that day were there for two reasons: (1) to drink beer which sells in
Odd-lot stores for $5 a case. (1a) To
leave that beer behind in the form of liquid waste somewhere in the park. (2) To
see the B-52s. During the B-52s, it wasso jammed, the gentleman motorcyclist
next to us was reduced to jabbing people
in the calves with a fork to make themstay off his blanket. Lucky for him, wh<:nthe band left, so did about half the audience, making the B-52s as popular as theplanet that spawned them.
Sydney: At the new afterhours club,
Japan, conveniently located in the old
Milk Bar (a k a Nimbus 22 which waspractically the total capacity of the club),a pre-opening party was held to celebrate the birthday of door-hag-fromRoxy-and-beyond Uncoln Palsgrove IV.
Due . to the overzealous crackdown by
the city, Japan was the only afterhours
club open and was filled with a crazy•and curious mix of Eurotrash and club
people. This is not a dance palace; Japanis more like a friendly neighborhood
hangout with off hours. The owners plan
to re-open in late May.

her out for dinner? Hint: Between she

sees in the Witness Project a chance"to memorialize loss, keep track,
name the names." He believes that"anger and activism is not the only
by John Donahue
way to deal with the AIDS crisis."
From his perspective as an historian,Saltz sees, "the body of art taking a
blow. Careers are being cut short.

Witness Project. Inside is a card
listing the name of someone
dead from AIDS and informa, tion on the person who recorded it. The form is very simple.
It asks for the name of the person who died, the date ofdeath and place of residence,
followed by a list of 32 artrelated vocations.
)Begun a year ago by
Sim~n .Watson and Jerry Saltz,
the Witness Project attempts "ina. simple and undramatic way
to memorialize people whose
lives and life's work have been
cut short by AIDS," specificallythe arts community. The information collected will be the-,'"basis for a computer database,with far-reaching applic~tions-'''''-'''... ,..... '''.' "".. _ .... "", ,>, ... ,..,
both in terms of a commemoration of those dead and as apolitical tool.
The genesis for the Project
was anger and loss. For Simon
Watson, who runs the Simon Watson "Art's cultural community is the family
project space on Lafayette Street, a I belong to."
The Witness Project grew out ofsort of hybrid alternative/cpmmercial
art space, it was his rage at the the co-chairs' discussions on responsWhitney Museum's reluctance in con- es to the AIDS crisis. Part of its funcfronting the deva~tation of the art' tion is an attempt to link mourning
world from AIDS in its Biennial. ~I and activism. As Saltz says, "It's more
was screaming and yelling for six than just gathering the names, it's
months," he said. "The Witness whose gathering the names." Watson
Project started out of total rage. Here agrees, remarking, "The Proj~ct helps
was an end-of-the-80s Biennial and make til:e community more aware,
the Whitney couldn't figure out how tighter.","'.I.'f,~~

The Witness Project is still in its
formative stages, with all records currently stored in the bottom half of afiling cabinet. The first mailing
occurred last December 1, WorldAIDS Day, when 10,000 forms wentout to arts organ~zations around thecountry. A computer program is currently
underdevelopment
by
California software designer and artist
Michael Tidmus which will facilitate
data retrieval by various criteria.
In its,. design, the Project rejects
hierarchy; deaths are recorded of .
painters as well as museum
guards, of collectors and film
editors, poets and musicians.
Said Saltz, "It's not limited togreat artists."

Unfortunately, these aesthetics

10 his journey, Jordan ruminates
on time, memory, the flat earth, paintings and a mysterious woman named
Fortunata whom he is seeking, whom
he' does not know and has not met,
but who he believes holds the meaning of love. She, it turns out, is the
12th of the princesses and she has survived alone and without gravity for ,centuries.
Dog-Woman's life without Jordan
is a battle against Puritans who havebegun a campaign against the Kingand all sinners. She says .guilelessly
that she is a sinner herself and .entersin sub rosa combat with the enemiesof the King. This segment of the bookis the most explicitly violent and reads
almost as one long revenge fantasy
against those who have oppressed
others with their public piousness andpoisoned a whole society with theirobscene hypocrisy. When Dog-Woman
gets the chance to exact revenge upon
two preachers who had enforced their
Puritanism on others while indulging
in sin themselves, the description ischilling mostly for the grim, banal way
in which Dog-Woman describes theirdismemberment and decapitation.
Wioterson is a supremely intelligent and well-educated writer. It cannot be by chance that she chose thisparticularly
ragingmomentin
English history for her story. Is it nottrue that we currently live in a worldof equally monstrous hypocrisy andviolence? Jordan's travels of love and ,Dog-Woman's battles with the forcesof evil are resolved quite brilliantly atthe end of the novel when Winterson
zooms forward 350 years to 1990
and unites' her themes of time, existence, memory and parallel universes
into a gleaming
and iridescent
whole. It is as though she has
entwined the novel with a golden
thread and in its final pages there isa sense of such breathless intensity,that you are not sure if you are spinning in the web Winterson has created or if you are being released from
it. Sexing the Cherry astonishes, perverts, annoys and distorts common
truths. For this, Winterson is to becherished even when cherishing is

The authors conclude that sin, 'with a couple of notable exceptions,is out of fashion. The sin theory ofhomosexuality has lost its legal force,the authors argue, because otherforms of traditionally sinful behavior

lmod6var, who's now too
hip to use his first namein the credits of hismovies, will no doubt find someone
somewhere to defend Tie Me UP!
Tie Me Down! He's been a critical
darling ever since, the whimsically
oddball
What Have I Done toDeserve This? and was practicallycanonized for Women on the Vergeof a Nervous Breakdown. But his
reputation rests on his films starring
the magnetic Carmen Maura, and I
now wonder if critics haven't beeQ

will fall in love with him, marry him
and bear his children if she just getsto know him a little better. So he
kidnaps her. He roughs her up andties her down but otherwise pretends ·to be a gentleman.

in desperation to revive her heroin

him. After she's rescued-moreorless by accident-Marina
tracks
Ricky down so she can fulfill his
fatuous dreams of marriage', andfamily.
If the film has a subtext that's
supposed to excuse the gross sexism, sadism and stupidity inherent
in its storyline and characters, I
certainly
couldn't
find it. The

movie's too facile and offensive
to support any kind of thematicmusings about the unpredictability of passion. Ricky is empty,
psychotic
and not remotely
appealing (except possibly to his
own kind), and Marina's actions
are, incomprehensible. This is nota movie about a hostage who

Marina breaks her bonds and tears
up the apartment in an effort toescape; in the next, she's complementing Ricky's sexual technique.
Her conversion occurs without awisp of motivation.
What was Almodovar thinking?
Is he testing the loyalty of his fans?
The endurance of his critical lapdogs?
Might he claim a "cultural gap "---that
we soft-hearted Americans simply
can't understand the Mediterranean
libido and sense of humor? Is thewhole movie some sort of failed joke,a kind of hetero version· of The
Everlasting Secret Family?
It doesn't matter. Even warped
rationalizations to excuse the sexism can't save the movie, because it
fails miserably even to engage,
much less amuse. Almodovar focuses so intently on the central "lovestory" complete with a lush, inviting score by Ennio Morricone thatthe director's trademark eccentricity
and offbeat twists on popular culture are largely absent. The attempts
at humor are infrequent, lame, andoften as appalling as the plotline.
The cast, even the Almodovar regulars, seems uninspired-perhaps
they're embarrassed to be involved.
Almodovar is reputedly a gay
filmmaker, but the only sexual
attitude consistent to his films is
the half-baked notion that desireis always capricious,
usuallypainful and often violent.
His
few gay characters are generally
peripheral
objects of pathos orridicule, and both What Have I
Done? and Matador are, passingly homophobic,
presenting
gaydesire as less than desirable. The
apparently gay man who appears
briefly in Tie Me UP! exists only
to provide the oddly decorated
apartment in which Ricky imprisons
Marina.
Someof
Almodovar's
films with Carmen
Maura at least present straightwomen with a degree of sensitivity, but Tie Me UP! is either aweird affirmation of heterosexual stereotypes
or a disastrously
failed satire. At this rate, I'd berelieved to hear that Almodovar
isn't gay after all. T

condom, that's his problem. You l:1aveto try to act in a safe way, but if somepeople don't, then you just have toprotect yourself and let these people
live their lives and decide what's goodor notfor them.",
S3 is well aware that the epidemic
has been used by diverse groups ofpeople to say that, after all, gays got
what they deserved. But he also feelsthat now the issue has shifted.
"Gays know about AIDS, theyknow how to handle it, but that's not
the case with straight people, who stillfuck without condoms ..They still think
AIDS is a disease for gays and drug
addicts only."'a; GRUMH... isn't the only bandfrom this musical genre that uses
strong gay imagery. Nitzer Ebb used tocultivate' an obsession for the bodyand a narcissism verging on the homoerotic, although they have toned down
this aspect of their music, especiallyon their latest album, Showtime.
Borgh,esia,
anotherband from. Yugoslavia, has gay members (S3:'"i"The drummer's boyfriend is sooocute"), and several of their songs
have an explicit gay content, oftenwith strong S/M overtones.
In Europe, many young nationalists enjoy the harshness and bleak
visions of pain and decay offered byindustrial bands. Many techno bands
seem to say that beauty and pleasurearen't easy to grasp, that you have tosuffer to obtain them. But for every
band like Test Department, the articulate British socialist band, how manygroups are dubious advocates of gratuitous violence? Most of the bands
which young extremists are attracted
to have an ambiguous stand. In thiscase, S3 doesn't believe in subtlety.
"The bands are responsible. Anyone
who speaks in the media, whose
opinions
and words are spreadthrough the media, has a responsibility over what they say. That's why I
think many bands don't do the rightthing, they let things happen. It's notenough to say 'I'm against fascism' ininterviews. You have to be clear onrecords, on stage, in vide.os. At all
Laibach gigs, you get these nazis in
the front rows, and when ~hey getworked up, they could do anything
in the streets the next day. I personally don't think Laibach members are
fascists, but they should find a way to
say it!"S3 is smart enough to get all theessentialconnections;
he fights
against all kinds of oppression, andthat's why he'll "always be involved
in gay liberation, as in any kind ofliberation of minorities." S3 uses
morbid imagery only to make apoint, rather than offending middle
class values; "On the Underground12-inch, there were pictures ofdeformed kids. That was a very ~erious message. My cousin lost twobabies in a row, because they wereill. I want to tell people, first it's noteasy to make a baby, so you should

This group also differs fromother industrial bands because,
despite their severe expressions on
pictures, they believe a sense ofhumor is essential. S3 is a feisty guy
who loves making puns; one of
their EPs was titled Too Many Cocks

he simply puts it, "my main interests

the band isn't enjoying itself.
"It would be so sad not to be.able to smile on stage" says S3, "notto talk to people, not to enjoy
myself. I'm not interested in showing people that I'm a robot."Indeed, a; GRUMH...'s live show isloud, intense, ~sually fast, but also
fun and includes terrific aerobics
music. The band fits more into therock tradition of partying and interacting with the public than into theusual arrogant distance most techno
bands adopt. Commenting on the
band's new singer, 'S3 emphaticallydeclared that he "is much better
than the old one," before <lacking
up and adding, "he pukes all thetime." Asked about
Axl Rose's•
homophobic comments, he generously declared loving Paradise City,
before saying wryly that he is "notinterested in what they have to say.
They talk like children, and 14-yearolds are not supposed
to haveideas."
S3's final words before conquering New York: "Don't forget towrite that all the fat and hairy men
who read the article can come andcruise me after the show." Dykes,
don't feel excluded, you can cruise
me. I'm easy to find: look for the
four-eyed nerd in a blue parka. T•

iii CRUMH... will be playing at
Woody's in NYC on May 4, with
Pankow, an excellent Italian bandwith a singer who could confirm
all of Cardinal O'Connor's theories
on demonic possession.

1

USE A CONDOM WHEN FUCKING.
Avoid oil-based lubricants such as
baby oil, Vaseline, Crisco etc., as they
can cause condoms to break. Instead
use water-based lubes like KY.The
older a condom, the less reliable, sofind condoms whose manufacturers'
dates are less than three months old.
-2.

USE A CONDOM DURING ORAL
SEX. If you don't, avoid placing thehead of your partner's cock in yourmouth. HIV-infected cum or precum
can enter your bloodstream throughcuts, tears or ulcers in your mouth.

3.

USE DENTAL DAMSDURING ',ORAL-VAGINAL SEX. HIV is present
in some amounts in vaginal secretions,urine, menstrual blood, and infectionrelated vaginal discharge.

4.

NEVER SHARE WORKS. This
includes needles, syringes, droppers,
spoons, cottons or cookers. If yoti mustreuse works, clean them. after each
use with bleach, or in an emerg~ncywith rubbing alcohol or vodka, bydrawing the solution into the needle•
three times and then drawing cleanwater into the needle three times.

5. AVOID RSTING, RIMMING, OR,

SHARING UNCLEANED SEX TOYS.

6. AVOID POPPERS.
7. AVOID EXCESSIVE ALCHOHOL OR
DRUG USE. Many people are unable
to maintain safer sex practices aftergetting high.

8.

DON'T HESITATE TO: Fuck with acondom, have oral sex with a condom.
Play with, but don't share, clean sex
toys, vibrators and dildoes. Enjoy mas- .sage, hugging, masturbation (alone,with a partner or in a group). and roleplaying.
Remember, sex is good, and gay
sex is great. Don't avoid sex, justavoid the virus. Learn to eroticize
safer sex and you can protect
others, remain safe and have
fun.
