The point, Mr. Nethercut,
was not to alarm socially

the subject, some of my bestfriends, as they say, are white.
Rather, my intention was toaddress some of the moreinsidious prejudices that haveslowed the development of a

We we.re pleased to read
Duncan Osborne's article [May8. no. 97] ,on George Bush's
heirious remarks describing
ACT UP~stactics as "an excess
of free speech" and his implication that babies sufferingfrom AI DS are the disease's
only innocent victims. However we would like to clarify the
purpose of ACT UP's month ofactions in September, which
will be launched with a massive demonstration in Kennebunkport. Me., over Labor Day
weekend (Sunday, Sept. 1).
Bush's comments are,appalling, but they are not, as thearticle implied, the motivation forthis action. Rather, the purposeof the action is to focus national
attention on-Bush's criminal negligence in confronting the AIDS
crisis. We encourage groups and'
individuals from across thecountry and abroad to collaborate in this vital, sustained
aclion--en outcry so loud it can,not be ignored. ACT UP! fightBack! fight AIDS!

I agree that the outing ofcelebrities is now inevitable,
but I think the spirit in which it
is done is very important. Outing as a matter-of-fact statement ,seems fine: So and so
was seen out with her girlfriend
and they looked hot. But When, used as a play for power or ameans of self-aggrandizement
while hiding behind self-righ, teous drivel, then it becomes
contemptible. Mr. Signorile
exemplifies the latter in last
week's ~Gossip Watch" [no.

Ayatollah a disservice by comparing him -and Signorile.
Rather, I think Signorile is the.• gay equivalent of an Andrew

WASlllNGTON - A new celebration was added to the Gay Pride season
this year. On Saturday, May 25, Black lesbians and gay men in Washington, DC,attended a special Pride celebratiori: thefirst Black Lesbian and Gr.y Pride Day inthe country.
Organizers of the day "got together...and just wondered why something
like that hadn't happened [yeti in Wash.ington," explained one of the organizers,
Theodore Kirkland. "We thought the climate was pivotal in part because of thelarge turnout of support for Jim Harvey,

"It was a real reunion for a lot of
people. It was good to see them all

ENGLAND--After months of pressure from gays, lesbians and others, thegovernment deleted recently added Paragraph 16 of the Department of Health regulations, which essentially banned gays and lesbians from being foster parents. In
announcing the move, MinisterVirginia Bottomley said: "The overriding considera-,tion in decisions a.bout fostering must be the welfare of children. Never should consideration about the best-available option for the child be secondary to ideologicalpreoccupations."

I not they are from Lesbos (which makes it even worse)?" .
II.. "Just when we were beginning to feel comfortable admitting to the guy at the

Under Target, or our. "Bush's compas~ion and care [for people with AIDS] ishollow when he consistendy cuts the,AIDS budget. .., recommends that iInmi,gration of IDV-positive people [to] thiscountry be [banned] and ...[opposes] thedistribµtion of condoms."'.
Outside the wrought-iron gates ofthe presidential home, ten demonstrators
held aloft ten cardboard aitouts of tombstones, each of which bore a year andthe total number of American AIDS
deaths at the end of that year.
Starting with 1981's reports of 154
total deaths from AIDS in the US, theactivists successively,read aloud the dead-.
ly toll the disease took in each year and• . • what action, if any, the WhiteHouse took on the epidemic in that year...
As the numbers mounted from 154,
dead in 1981 to 312 by 1982 to 1,292 by
1983 to 3,665 by 1984 to 8,161 <;leadby. the end of 1985, each speech ended with '"Reagan is silent."_
As the numbers rose to 16,391
in,1986 to TJ,909 in 1987 to 46,134 in 1988
to 70,313 in 1~ to 100,813 in 1990, theshift in blame went from President Reagan.
to President Bush and from ,chaIges that
nothing was being done to accusationS,
that what was done was far from enough.
Fmally, the last speech was read It
reminded America that, as of April 1991,
110,530 Americans had already lost theirlives to the deadly epidemic. Ending the
pronouncement was a fierce denouncement of Bush for his failure to call for a
substantial increaSe in AIDS funding, his
waffling on the lifting of a ban on immigration by people with AIDS and IDV
and his statements about his efforts to
help "innocent victims" of the disease.
On~by one, each of the pIacardholders fell before their mock tomb-,stones until ~en bodies representing theten years of the AIDS crisis lay "dead"before, the White House. .
,'The new US Surg(!on General, Dr.
, Antonia Novello, also came in for criticism for not pressing the White House to
take a leadership position on the epi- ~demic, as did her predecessor, Dr. C.
Everett Koop.
"As the nation's number-one doctor,
she's not visible on the subject of AIDS
the way she should be," said Zum.
.
FtrSt lady Barbara Bush was praisedfor her support of volunteers who com-

prise the substantial part, if not ,the bulkof the nation's AIDS caregivers. But she
i too was criticized for 'pot speaking out. loudly enough for increased AIDS do11ars.
In addition for, their demands for
greater NOS funding, the activists specifically called on the White House to~ppbint an "AIDS czar" to coordinate
federal action on AIDS, weed o~t those
programs that do not work and focus
federal efforts on those that are effective.
"For ten years, the White House has,
ignored us," said Robert Warnack of ACf
UP/DC. "Our pbint is, If he can't find his
own voice, it is'time for him to appoint anational AIDS czar, someon~. wjth

, gOvernment! in a position where they
have to take a stand," said Brian Wolfman, a lawyer with Public Citizen, the,. legal counsel representing the PWA
Health Group. The lawsuit alleges that
'Burroughs Wellcome "knowingly" presented false information in obtaining its
patented monopoly on AZf.
Last year, Burroughs Wellcome, posted sales of $350 million from AZf" alone, and that figure is expected to.', keach. $450 million this year, according

to the Washington Post. Burroughs'Wellcome has been the target ofnumerous demonstrations by ACf UP
since 1987 for "AIDS profiteering."
The PWA Health Group says that
it is in contact with a company that will
distribute AZf at half the cost-charged
by We1lcome, "After years of silence,
the government bas taken a cue fromthe people with AIDS," Wolfman said.

NIH, announced on
28 that theagency's intention to break Burrou~'
Wellcome's monopoly on AZT and
encourage price competition, according,.
,
to an Associated Press wire report,.
although what route the feds will takehas. not yet been determined.,,Bo.th the government and the PWA 'Health Group charge that BurroughS
WeIlcome merely submitted AZf as one
of at least 20 nucleoside an.alogs in ,1982 at the request of the Nationalcer Institute, or NO. According to the
Health Group's lawsuit, NO conceived,
developed, tested and fmanced all of
the studies of AZT in fighting HN, ,resulting in :NO's detennination in 1985
that AZf would inhibit HIV jn humans.
Burroughs Well come immediately,,
applied for a patent. withou 'attributirig
the work to the NO, whi • acq>rding'to the government and the PWA Health .
Group, should be named as a co-inveri- ,tor, if not the sole' inventor, of AZf in Its 'use against HIV.
Public Citizen had hoped the government would join their suit against Burroughs WeIlcoIre and so named the goVj ,ernment as a defendant. It is unclear
whether the government will join that
lawsuit, or if they will me their own,
"which would proOObly[then],be consolidated with ours," according to Wolfman. .
The government could also support Barr Laboratories
in the suitbrought against them several weeks
ago by Burroughs Wellcome for applying to the FDA for peimisSion to distribute AZf. Implicit in all of the lawsuits is a lowered cost for AZf -buyers .
In a separate development, Fujisawa Pharmaceutical Company, a US-'
based subsidiary of the Japanese com- I
pany, announced on May 31 that it isreducing by 20. percent the price of .
both aerosolized and injectable penr.µnidine. Formerly, pentamidine cost
$99.45 per vial; as of June 1, the pricewill drop to $79.per·vial.
"They're probably making a lastditch effort to secure some of the mar- .....
ket share;" explained Derek Hodel,
executive director of the' PWA HealthGroup. In October, pentamidine will
become open to' generic production(and reduced prices) when the company's orphan-drug protection expires.

..••,,'WIERD SCIENCE•"NEW YORK-Just one day after formally acknowledging that his claim to, have discovered HIV was probably unsupportable, Robert ~allo, the prominentand controversial AIDS researcher, addressed a g~thering of activists here andpraised them for "doing the bulk of what is the important work for 1991."
Gallo, also retreated from the position that HIV is solely responsible forithe development of AIDS in people who are HIV-infected. "There's no disease
that doesn't involve something that makes it go faster," he stated, hypothesizing nevertheless that if HIV-1 were to be neutralized, people would no longer
progress to a life-threatening state of immunocompromise.,, The researcher's remarks were given at a house-party to benefit the newly,
formed AIDS Treatment Data Network, which is a non-profit reorganization of" ,the now-defunct AIDS Treatment Resources. The event brought in approxi.' mately'$15,OOO, according to Ken Fomataro, executive director, and consolidated what Fornataro hopes will be a productive professional collaboration •between the Network and Gallo.

"I'd put on a pink tx:iangle faSter than a sign that says I'm anaturist," says Wayne Steinman, dfrector of AIDS contraCts for•
the New York City Depa,rtment of Health. Steinman and hislover of 19 years are both nudists. Others are quick to agree.
"Even most gay people don't find it easy to accept my nudism,"says John, a banker in his 305. 'Vsually people are pretty
shocked. They assume a nudist event is a sex event."

WHERE'IT ALLBEGAN

The history of nudism began early in this century, whenGerman intellectuals embaIked on a quest for purity through.nudity, v~tarianism
and a return to nature. Resorts for naturists(a tet:m referring to people who cayort nude outdoors) sprang
up dUring the 19205 and spread throughout Europe. By 1926,
there were 50,000 active nudists in Germany alone. Kurt Barthel,ac1mowledged as ·the founder of American nudism, ~troduced
Freikorperkultur (Free Body Culture) to America in 1929, and, on
Labor Day of that year, led a sma11 group of bare.assed pioneers
to a pimicin the Hudson Mountains near Peekskill, NY.

At a time when Mapplethorpe photographs are put on apar with pornography (another dubious term), and censorshipbattles rage, gay male nudists face dual suppression. Viewed
with suspicion in their own gay community and still not readily
welcome in the nudist milieu, they are facing the increasingneed to politicize their existence. And in the gay male.

the Natunst Society, or lNS,
acknowledged as the mostforward-thinking brganization of
the modern movement. In
September 1981, withfriends
Shelley Seidman (a gay man) andBern Loibl, Murray formed the 'Tri-5tate Metro Naturists, or
TSMN, to provide a group forl~ nudists. to meet socially.
While planning events for the

fellow gay nudists. For three

Eventually these soirees gavebirth to a New York-based 'organization known as Males,auNaturel, or MAN, founded byRoger Biron and Olarles Wyatt (tragically, both died of AIDS
complications within four years).
On the national front, there were other gay male nudists
looking for comrades. Lee Baxandall, founder and coordinator
oflNS, was also a tireless activist forthe presexvation of nudeor "free" beaches in America. He had Spearheaded a national
protest in 1975, after Qlpe Cod's nude beach in Truro wasclosed by federal park rangers. Says Bern Loibl, who now.....

asked Kaufman if he was ready to come out of the closet.
He ha9 lidded enough requests from gay male nudists tofeel that the time had come for the establishment of a
special interest group for gay men. The Gay and Lesbian
Naturists, an umbrella group for, all lesbian and gay
individUals at).d groups nationwide, was fonned.
Steve PbAd, fonner coordinator of the GLN, recalls the
exUltation felt by fellow gay male nudists when the group· was ~lished.
"Here was a group that dealt with not one
but . two aspects of my personality that, I felt, kept me
unnecessarily separate from the mainstream of American· society. ~ In Ihe past eight years, GLN has grown to 375
individual members nationally and 33 clubs, each claiming,60 to 200 members. Their outings consist of everything fromnude bOwling parties to health club events. One contingent

deliberate smokescreen for a more obvious agenda. "It's odd thatthe only place they seem to nest is nude beaches,» SteiAman says. .
In the summer of 1982, a document was leaked to naturists
indicating that the National Park Service hoped to sweep the"area of nudists, especially the gay contingent. 1MNS called for ademonstration. As the naturists trooped out 'to their area,c a clotof religious zealots trailed them, hoisting an eight-footl woodencross. A battery of journalists and 1V cameras followed thecircus. "It was like the Pied Piper of Hamelin,» Kaufman recalls.
The naturists were outnumbered by the thrill-seekers, and,•
when the sun~worshippers began to shuck their clothes, state
troopers materialized, waving summonSes. But as soon as they
left, the bathers would doff their clothes again, until the troopers
returned and the whole procesS was repeated
At noon, the state troopers and holy rollers finally gave up
on the contingent that was now more than 100 strong. But one
hanger-on remained: Joseph Hawley, an independent candidate
running for Congress in New-jersey's 3rd Distri<1. He had beenordering federa\ park rangers to arrest nudists, citing a N~
Jersey statute for lew-dness. Now, as he railed about the evils of
nudity, a group of naked woman listened with growing

sentiment, saying: "This is a minority within a minority within a 'minority. And if you're political, you're a minority within that."
It's a wann Saturday evening in April. In a dance studio on
West 14th Street, a group of men are ballroom dancing to thestrains of Benny Goodman. Chet, a costume designer with afriendly face and a sharp wit, is twirling Gary, a robust acting
teacher, across the floor. Welcome to the Stardust Ballroom, aparty held by Males au Nature\. In keeping with the evening's
theme, many men are dressed in some degree of formal wear.
Birthday suits are complemented with bowties; one dandy's
shirt, an unadorned
abbreviated tenue de soiree is a tuxedo'-'
groin, an elegant black coat and shoes and socks with garters. A
short Italian man scurries about; dressed ooly in long sequined ~evening gloves. The question of the everung is, Does being anudist ~e
you a political person? The answer: is an adamant
no from several people.
.',
Bill Schilling, a member of MAN's steering committee, is,greeting new members, his bright smile only Slightly uPstaged
by his sequined bowtie. Schilling appeared on Tbe Phil ' ,Donahue Show with Liddell Jackson and took on the religious .
bigot who cienounced homosexuality to an ever-patient Phil.
Schilling admits: "Like sOciety at large, a lot of people whoare
gay do nothing more than sleep with people of their same sex.
Similarly, with nudism, sometimes they join this club, they cometo the ~ches and the parties, but they wouldn't thiitk ofwriting a legislator or doing anything pro-active to support thecause of nudism.» Although harassment of gay nu~ sunbathers
persists nationwide, there have been few instances of actual
revolt. He concedes that weapons are few. "At least the dragqueens at Stonewall bad high heels to fight with, "he qui~." At
the most, ~e would have cock rings."'
And where are the dykes in all of this? 'there are several
theories regarding the paucity of lesbians on the nudist scene, I
but all of them are, at best, speculative. Schilling suggests that"just like lesbians don't feel the need to have bathhouses andjerk-off clubs, they don't feel the need to Cavort in the nude+ommunally." Yet any woman who's ever attended a women's
music festival knows better. Kaufman mair\tains that TNS and
GLN made outreach efforts to lesbians and received perha~ 20
letters a 'Year. Nobody ever follwed up by' starting the~own
lesbian contingent. "Gay women felt they wanted their own
thing," Kaufman adds. "They don't want to be nude and sharethat with gay men---they want their privacy.» The situation has,led him to mull over dropping "Lesbian" from the group's name.
Numbers also flag when documenting the presence of gay
male nudists of color. "Nudism plus gayness is a double
whammy for [people of colorJ," Kaufman suggests. Ulrich, a ,muscled man'with modified dreadlocks, acknowledges that his
identity as a person of color does not dominate in thesesurroundings. Moreover, he feels less racism here than in the bar
scene. Liddell Jackson, who is also a member of Gay Men of
African Descent and Men of All Colors Together, feels that thereason for the dearth of people of color in nudist circles is thesense of privilege that doesn't extend from whites to African
Americans. "Nudity reflects a sense of privilege. People of color
don't have a sense of privilege to do Mlat the mainstream does.
We have trouble embracing any concept that is n0t in themainstream.» Conversely, he says, there is less bigotry in gay ,nude circles. "When you take off your clothes, a lot of yourfacade comes down with it."~,•

Another hurdle for gay male nudists is· the °3ssuinption that•
their parties are open sex romps., "When I mention to myfriends that I go to nude parties, they ask what kind of sex we, have," Schilling says. "I have to explain to my well-educated gay
friends that taking one's clothes off is not a precursor to havingsex." In fact, the introduction of sex into other nudist clubs

Sitting now in the brimming archives of Colectivo Sol,one of Mexico City's several gay organizations, Hernandez
lives a life that is a far cry from the oppression he felt as agay man, more than 20 years ago. "Things have changed," he) noted. .. Hernandez; who is the leader of Colectivo Sol, hasbeen working with the group since its start in 1981, when
the group began on its multi-fold mission of pressing for gay
rights, achieving Mexico's gay and lesbian movement andproviding, since 1983, infonnation about AIDS and safer sex.
Just a few months ago, Colectivo Sol moved its headquartersfrom a cramped apartment to a two-story space in a quiet
residential neighborhood in Mexico's capital city. Here, Her"nandez took some time out to discuss the state of gay andlesbian life·in Mexico City.
The homophobia that one encounters in Mexico can betraced most closely to the Europeans who invaded theregion rather than to the native American societies that had,
already been living in what is now Mexico. "Homosexuality,
i;::L
:::J
or
homosexual acts, are socially accepted within several of.J. the indigenous societies," explained Hernandez, who men~[~j tioned one group where parents are happy to have a son

who is gay because that means he will take better care ofthem in their old age.
With the arrival of the Europeans came the most force\
ful attacks against homosexuality. "The ftrSt person who got
killed for sodomy was in Veracruz," continued Hernandez. A
lord who lived in the region reportedly kept a number ofteenagers for his pleasure. "The Spanish were so freakedthat they killed him, because they were sodomites." And thatwas only the beginning of this trend: "The second ~creof men who were engaged in homosexual acts in America 'was in Panama. Balboa got the Indians from Panama. They
were engaged'very freely in homosexual acts, and so they
killed them by throwing the dogs at them."
The aggressiveness of the Europeans pushed many
indigenous groups to the far comers of Mexico, where they
could find some safety from the encroaching empire. As aresult, "a lot of their mixed culture is still intact. And I thinkthat the attitude toward sexuality in these [outed regions has
to do with how they were before the Spanish came. So what
we've seen is that the survival of positive attitudes towardhomosexuality is because they were positive before the
Spanish invasion, in spite of the Spanish invasioµ. But [the acceptance ofhomosexuality within indigenous
groups] doesn't change the relationship or the mentality [of Mexico as a, ,..
whole], because the [homophobic]
mentality of the Europeans was muchstronger than. the indigenous people." "J
Today lesbians and gay men still ' ,face rampant homophobia, although it .
manifests itself differently than in"other nations. Homosexuality is not'officially illegal in Mexico,· but "there
are ...some police rules that say if you
do indecent acts on the streets ...they , I
can take you for 36 hours;" Nevertheless, "they cannot prosecute you forbeing gay. They cannot prosecUte you
for lcommittingJ sodomy, for example.
The only mention of homosexuality isin the penal code in regard to corruption of minors." The legal age of_homosexual consent is 18 nationwide
for men and women, which is higher,
than that of hetero relationship.
Members of Colectivo Sol regard
this penal cage as blatantly discriminatory, since it carries a definitely heterosexual slant. To counter that, theypresented a paper to the Cabina de
Diputados (similar to the US House of.Representatives) that called for a mod-"'··
ifieation of the law to alsoi"protect
young homosexuals against compulsive heterosexuality." They highlighted

is this a summer for wild, naked abandon, or should we all hide

For better or worse, the human skin is frequently one of thedeciding factors of attractiveness in our "lookist" culture. Now, in
addition to more general health care concerns, our skin is threatened by drastic ozone depletion. People who 20 years ago would
not have thought twice about the sun are now at greater risk ofdeveloping melanomas and cancer. What do gay folk do' to keep,

'Immune-suppressedpeople- should
avoid sun blocks with PABA, as it ·is)
said "to pog poreS, and because many
people have shown allergic reactions.'"Great skin care comes fromwithin," advises Cliff Goodman, Outreach Director at Health Education
AIDS Liason, or HEAL. He recommends that people avoid greasy andfried foods and use aloe vera as a topical skin aid; People with KS may use
vitamin C paste for les.ions. And
whether you are immune-supressed ornot, Goodman recommends applying. "safflower
and sunflower
oil asopposed to mineral oil, which is notabsorbed by the skin."
What if you've taken precautions
but still found yourself a bit fried? FIrSt, of all, rehydrate. Drink at least eightglasses of water a day whenever you're
out in the sun (cocktails and beer don't
count, since alcohol depletes as well).
, After your days out, apply a moisturiz,ing after-tan lotion with aloe vera or, cocoa butter. Oiling up a pal can, be
especially fun, and it beats shedding
together like pythons a week later.
It is a widespread myth that darkskinned people don't burn. Lidell
Jackson, New York community activist
and nudism enthusiast,says that
AfricanAmericans should µse "a little,
sun block, like a number 4. Most people of color do: We weave it into a
dark-tanning
lotion." Jackson also
notes: "Sunscreen is not made for'people of color. The assumption isthat people of color don't bum or tan.
We do both. [But since) many people
buy into the assumption that we don't,
we end up unprepared."Jackson even has a few brands

,

that he likes. "Clinique sunscreens arefabulous, and· they're cwater,-based.
People of color also use. cocoa bu~erwith lanolin or elastin (a collagenbased ingredient). Because of ourmelanin level being so high, we use it
up-coconut'
oil as well. Posner's
makes Black skin and hair care prodructs, and Ambi also works well," says
Jackson, whose skin tone grows froma honey brown to a deep. cherrymahogany over the summer months.
Another aspect of summer skincare involves maintenance of tattoos,
as many queers these days adorn
themselves with a festive array of inked
images. For those of us who haveindulged in the art, Darren P. Rosa, an
experienced tattoo artist, recommends
a higher sunblock with a very strong
sun protection factor, or SPF, or an
opaque ointment like zinc oxide toprotect your tattoo from the sun's rays,
which will break down colors.
. Skin survival in a beauty-oriented
culture raises questions of what we
consider attractive. Does a deeply
tanned form display exotic attractiveness, or is it merely a harbinger oflizard skin fQI"the future? Is hiding fromthe sun and the dearth of ozone a
metaphor for a new Victorian body
shame, where fresh unburnt skin isconsidered more attractive? Consideririg
the number of pollutants and irritants
attacking our environment (and, subsequently, our bodies) from the sky arid
sun, it's no surprise that many folks
think twice before lounging , by the pool

You can never insurethat you won't become acrime victim. No crime

Nevertheless,these few safety tips mybe hel,pful:• Identify local "danger zones" inthe places you frequent. Avoid
these areas, especially when you
are alone. Keep on top of thenews, especially the lesbian andgay press, to learn if a partiCular
neighborhood has become a target for gay bashiQ-g.
• Plot our "safe" routes from subway stations and bus stops to. yourhome and other places you fre.quent often. Note well-lit streetsand stores open late at night.
'• If you feel threatened or unsafe,
trust your instincts and remOve
yourself from the situations quickly
as possible. Run. Bang garbagecans. Make noise. Yell "Fire"; Call
911 for police assistance as soon
as possible.
• Letting someone you ,pon't know
into your 'home makes you vulneraqle to robbery .and ~ault. If you
leave a bar with someone you've justmet, introduce herlhim to a friend or
the bartender. Let other peopl,e.
know you are leaving together.
Exchange names a.nd phone numbers before you get home.
• Women should beware of men in'"mixed" bars who claim to be gay
and invite women to their homes.
• Be wary of taxis that wait outsi~ of gay and lesbian bars andclubs. Try to leave bars, community centers, and other gay/lesbianidentifies facilities with people you
know. Assailants sometimes wait
for potential victims outside places

46 OUTWEEK .June 19, 1_1•story on the ridiculousness of Marion
Barry or Dan White or litigation gone too
far is not big enough for Taylor. He has
to take it one step' further, comparing thecases to civil rights litigation, and ACf
UP, a group which he incredulously
reports has "declared that AIDS victims
are being killed not only by the disease
but also by government officials who
have failed to find a cure." Fmally, in acoup de grace, he goes all the way, saying that, "victimization has become a
SOurce of power for Blacks," and thenimplies that they should just join the"mainstream" (Le., act white).. Taylor
bases' his case against victims
on these,
absurd cases, some of which dearlycross a line, but he then applies thoselessons to' more complex and unrelated
ones. There, his trep.d piece is done. The
conspiracy of victims is defined solely onthe' shallow basis that blame is assigned
to someone. So he doesn't have toaddress the, individual issues like themerits of viatim'sarguments or historicalrealities. All he deals with are superficial· manifestations to tie it all together. .
In effect, he compares the Dan.'White Twinkie defense to generations of
oppression faced by Blacks in America.
, To deal with the gray areas would make,-his cover trend much less clear. While on· fum ground trashing the Twinkie victim,· it is less easy to argue that the govern,:ment isn't responsible for the misman" "agement and disinterest in AIDS. Taylor',carefully avoids a discussion of the ec0nomic and opportunity gap between'whites and people of color in this coun'try and constructs a tidy way to let society off the hook. Everyone should stop
complaining and just take control of theirlives. The implication is that since everyone can argue for some victim status,
none are justified.
,
Just as tlfe Persian Gulf war detracted,Bush's discomfort with S&I.s, the recession and health care, Taylor and the other
PG-bashers avoid discussing racism, government inaction on AIDS and unequal
opportunity by focusing on their new,found concern for free speech which, theysay, is under attack from the PC people
and the .victims. When Taylor addresses
race, he naturally quotes everyone's
favOrite neo<:on academic, Shelby Steele,the' academic of color who has. made acareer of telling Black people to just getover it and quit arguing "a ~litic)of difference" which "rewards victimization."

Actually, it's about time that real vic-

If John Taylor is sick of hearing
about it, he should do something con-.
structive. It's not enough to tell Us to bequiet. Go ahead and write stOries about ..
the silly cases of Marion Barry or Dan',White, but don't damn underclass Blacks
along with them. Another kind of journalism Can help people leave their victim status. How about something on how thechurch and right-wing politicians have theblood of young people on their hands for
restricting safer-sex information? Howabout an insightful pieCe on growing up
poor and Black, with limited opportunity
and a limited sense of control in life, witha few quotes from-the recerlt Urban institute study which found that there remains'a disparity between the experiencesofrBlack and', white job applicants?
Taylor feels oppressed by victimS. He
wants to construct an argument that will
release him from societal responsibility,wher~ it's every man and woman for him
or herself. He blindly implies that everyone
has the means to live a life of mythic indi- .'vidualism, self-detenninationand personal
responsibility of Horatio Al~1Qose whowork hardest to form the smokescreenof'self-determination are those who have hadtims demanded a stake in their status.

After all, recognizing one's victimhood· isthe first step in shedding it. To'see equa,lrights and opportuni~es as a "reward" isabsurd. And. calling people on theiroppressions is far from accepting the"victim" status. It is a bid to take the control Taylor wants us all to have.
Of course, many people these days
have completely assumed a mantle ofoppression
as their personalities.
FraI'lkly, they would not know what to
do with their rights if they got them all
tomorrow. But that's not really the issue,
because it's not going to happen tomorrow. And it's never going to happen if
real victims stop bashing back andreminding the world of their status.
Taylor says that he would just likeall victims to be self-sufficient, as if weare starting at zero again right now. In
some cases, people should just deal withthemselves. Some of the individuals hedesaibes should quit-blaming someone
else. But most oppressed people are notlike his special cases. Most of them aren't
getting away with anything, and very few
are getting rich off their victim status.

FOOD & SPffiITS by Beth Brant. Firebrand Books. $18.95 cI. 8.95pb. 128 pp.
by Victoria A. Brownworth
As a Mohawk lesbian activist
grandmother who has just turned 50,
Beth Brant brings a wealth of diverse
experience to her stories. Her latest
book, Food & Spirits, is full of pain andconviction. At the root of these stories
is the effect of racism on a class and aculture. By no means easy-to-read stories, they are so lush, so full of a history
most of us have never even glimpsed"that the pain they at once evoke andwho was stabbed to death-"56 times

Throughout Bethlehem in Broad

which are cloaked in symbols and concealed within a beautifully arranged
sequence of sophisticated,consummately constructed poems. Together,
these poems create a subtle, slowly,
revealed narrative. .
In "Harbor Lights," the book's fIrst
poem, we see Doty at age 16, a ruqaway
holed up in a cheap Water Street hotel.
The poet is obsessed with a stone facein a nearby shop window: "I'm calling
her/the angel, the mother of angels ...."
In his hotel room, Doty takes a pill hebought f'rom the street and tries to imagine "a whole angel," a mother who will

feelings, w-hich•their silv~r garlands/singrunaway." He's beencheated:The pill he's,
taken is "beat,", and themother of angels remains obscured "behind, her window/her g1aze of rain, her veil."
The next"Poem, "Anna Karenina,"
further reinforces "the bitter separation"of'mother and son. DOty, older now, isintrigued by the chapter in Tolstoy'S
novel in which Anna, who has madeher irrevocable choice, sacrificing family'
for passion, visits her sleeping son. The
boy wakes it's his birthday
and isdelighted to see her, though he perceives that his mother is "perfect andunhappy."
Xnna, . preoccupied with her,
approaching doom, "is barely able to bewith him at all."
These two poems set the tone of
the book, but it is not until the very
end, in.another pair of poems examining his relationship with his mother, that
Doty steps from behind his own ~eiland discloses the exact source of his
isolation. "Art Lessons" focuses specifidilly on the "bruised years" of his
mother's alcoholism and contains oneof the few moments where Doty drops
his protective symbols and exposes
hiinself completely. "My family/was aruined gesture, a building that collapsed," he confesses, "...into brutality
and incoherence.!I wished myself no
one's/son ...." This is the truth that lies
hidden' behind many of the poems in
Bethlehem. in Broad Daylight and that,in retrospect, illuminates and explainsthem. In "Cemetery Road," Doty/visits
his mother's grave and, ten years after
her death, forgives and releases her.

THE ACCIDENT by David Plante. Ticknor and Fields. $18.95 c1.151 pp~
by James Waller,lfl

The "stiff wings" ofgraveyard angels carryher spirit onward, andthe poet is free, in the
book's final stanza, tostate: "I couldn't love
any world but this." It.is a moving, welle:uned resolution:
Aside from the poems about his
parents and the lonely treasures ofchildhood, Bethlehem
Broad Daylight contains several historical andBiblical poems which, like mirrors,reflect Doty's more autobiographicalmaterial. The book also contains a
number of explicitly
homoerotic
poems. "63rd Street Y," "The Death ofAntinous" and "Adonis 'Theater" confront the limitations of sexual desire
and the dangers intrinsic in seeking"the body's paradise." In "Paradise," anelegy to the poet James L. White, Doty,
letting down his guard, recounts thedays of anonymous sex in a coura.geously truthful manner and discards
his formal, occasionally too-lyrical vernacular for a moment of colloquial
candor. His other elegies "Tiara,"" A
Box of Lilies," "Cemetery Road" arejust as heartfelt and powerful.
. The title of this collection seems a
bit stark-it clashes with Doty's style.
Like the sensitive boy in his childhood
poems, who understands that his true
self requires "secrecy and darkness," lest
exposure destroy him, DOty carefully .
e:x;cavates his submerged
feelings," which have "remain[edl undisturbed foryears," and examines them in a tentative
yet honest light. This is no small thing.
Ultimately, Doty transcends his pain by
naming it and sharing it with us. T

Most novelists try hard to constructdialogue in which the characters reallyseem to be listening, and responding,
to one another. David PlaQ.te writes
dialogue that shows that, most of the,time, when people talk to one another,
they have other things on theirmind~dthings that often have little

effect: Reading one of his books, you

studio benefit concert by Laura
Wetzler, with special guest,
M*Th~ng.The Lesbian and
Gay Community Services Center. 208 W. 13th St. June 13.
7:30 pm.
Newsday called her "Jesse's girl," athought that could surely send theHelmsman to his grave. The moniker,
no doul?t, was inspired by her '90s signature work "Jesse Helms Has Made a
Radical Out of Me," but, if the truth be
known, singer and guitarist Laura Wetzler was probably boma radicaL"I learned"]ewish folk music frommy mother when I was a child," Wetzler explained at a recent concert at
the Park Slope Methodist Church. "Wehave a very complicated, relationship,
my mother and I. The fact th~t she
was' also a. musician complicatesthings, and the fact that she passed
away when I was still a child makes it
more complicated still."
But despite her mother's early
death, Wetzler maintains a strong senseof her roots and an even stronger
sense of identity: "Everything J am

a woman, being a: lesbian-it
allinforms my work: And living in 1991,
under the shadow o~ George Bush,certainly influences the writing I -do. I
do not do escapist material.""
In the troubadour spirit, she isdetermined to make her music her life(and make it pay the rent), performing
in more than 125 concerts a year, bOth
locally and nationally. What's more,
she is now hoping to raise the money
to go into the studio-thus, the "studio, benefit concert."~, Wetzler's eclectic collection of ';songs should fare well on v:.ax. Her ~RADICAL CHIC, BROOKLYN'~Laura~,

work is a hearty combination of folk andfolklore, running· the~gamut from traditional
Jewish folk music (shesings in Hebrew,' Yiddish and Ladino, the latter a mix 'of
Spanish and Hebrew that dates back.tothe early part of the millenium, whenArabs and Jews C<H!Xistedin the Iberian peninsula) to a more contemporary
singer/songwriter style. Topically, herwriting reflects the times, touching on
issues ranging from immigration toincest, love and the war. In addition,
her.work is laced with a qu~r sense ofhumor-check out "You Don't Have to
Have Short Hair to Be a Dyke" or "Is It
OK if You Fall in Love With Your
Lover's Ex-Lover?"-which lent a perverse little twist to her church-based
May performance.
Wetzler has recently teamed up
with percussionist
Robin Burµulis,
who wiiI continue to work with herwhen they go into the studio. In their
June 13 show, the_ duo will also be

the "very eclectic." Perez cites personal
influenc~s ..in<:luding Brazilian and
Caribbean music, as well as "otherBlack rock fol1\s" like Living Colour
and Bad B~ins. But his backgroundlies in jazz, an early passion that eventually led him to the Berklee School ofMusic. "Even before I waS gay, I wasqueer," jokes EriC, and, while thewhite kids listened to Led Zeppelin
and his Black classmates dug P-Funk,
Eric did his own thing. Now he real-izes tha~.."all music ~s 'something to.
offer." on the other hand, Hensely lis- .
t~ns, almost exclusively to his own
works-in-progr~.
"I don't think ,he'sbought a re<;ord
couple years,"confides Perez. th~resultingchemlstry
between the two writers ~ impacted
heavily on the band's .new sound.
Perez reSpects the "very auStere" qualities of, Gary's compositi.~ns,andM--rhang creates "arrangementS to capture that integnty."',.'
Altl;1ou$hPerei puts some stock in .
the tenet that "the personal iSpolitica1,"
he quickly points out that~ete's 'a lotof topical music I cari't stand." Still,when handled correctly, , he believes,
that "it does take on a univer1ial quality." M"11iang strives not to strar from

-Victoria Starr"•••,Ask guitarist Eric Perez of M"Thang
to outline his artistic agenda, and you
can expect some refreshing answers.
"It's about creating alternatives for gay
music other than dance music or folk
music," he explains. "It's about being
up front about seiuality having politi.cal implications without being polemic, and dogmatic.",
Despite this impressive common
sense, Perez, bassist Gary Hensely andkeyboard player Averill Gill are, firstand fqremost, a rock band. Their recent
showcase at the Gay and Lesbian Community Services Center proved that theband possesses the tight musician&hip, to support their ideas.
Originally a quintet" M")bang only
recently came out of hiatus as a trio,
and, although the new material scales
down an earlier strain of "take-no-prisoners rock and ,funk," their current
straightforward tunes pack a delightful
punch, Songs like "Desire" and "Sweet

honesty into dida<;ticism. "We're reallyconscious of hnplications and intentions 'through our music, and, within
the framework of political music, we'retouching on issues 9ther than gay
rights and AIDS," Perez insists, citingracism in the lesbian and gay community as a specific concern of the allBlack group.
And where does M"Thang expect

to fit in musically? "We're not pop
music, in the ~that we're out to dosomething in popular culture." Breaking new ground in any art form makes\for difficult going, but, from the soundof it, M"Thang enjoys the challenge.

by Marlene Pearson
I almost clipped off its leg. I dropped
the blue-belled flowers, screamed, ran indoors,
turned up the radio and rocked myself until
I started to hum. But when the violins
sounded like screeches, like the toad1.
I remember the toad the preacher cast outof that sixteen-year-old girl. There was a
pictureof it in a jar and for six dollars,
you cO\lld send for a record of its cries'and aneight-by-ten glossy. Mother saidno, but ~ still wanted it. I thought
it had sad eyes. She said it was evil.
I snuck the picture, put it tinder

inside the chest of the sixteen-year-old girl,, I saw it again. Saw it leap from her throat,
scratch its eyes on he( incisors, rub its stomachrough against her tongue, then land hard against
the preacher's shiny black shoe. That toadmust have felt like a,new babe, startled by air
and light, the greedy hands of the preacher
grabbing its belly, stuffing it inside a pickle jar.
Its last low groans sounding like my son"

my mattress. Mother tore up themagazine, the picture of the toad.
I cried all night, one hand wiped tears
while
the other hand inside pajamas,
touched between the soft lips 'until
I jumped in my bed. In the morning,'

I thought my tears would tum into warts
all over my eyes, cheeks, wherever
they ran down, even my throat.

Years later my son really did get warts
all over his fingers. He was only six.
I took him to the doctor who said the warts
must go and took out his scalpel.
When the nurse stuck the two-inch needle, under his thumbnail, I puffedup,
my ears to block out,

Ithe screams. His nail turned black
bY'four that afternoon. It took a '!Ih'ole year
to grow out. There were warts growing in clumps
his neck before it was over, on his elbows,
beneath his nose, ears, and finally too near
his testicles. I really believed he would dieof warts.

down tight, then sent for the photographer.

•

It has been thirty years and I still dreamof a jar with lid perpetually turning,
the sad eyes of the toad, its screeches .
stifled like someone screaming through a pillow,
its hand pressed between glass, and skinpulling the lip into a grotesque smile.
Sometimes I cannot stop thinking
until my hand slides down again,a tadpole, into the dampness,and curls up between soft lips.

Many women prefer to obtainsperm from a medically endorsed
sperm bank. In the US at present,
donors are tested for HIV andother STDs, and sperm is "banked"
in frozen vials until used. The
advantages of using a sperm bankare many. The risk of STD and
HIV-transmission is minimized,
and the likelihood of uncovering
the identity of the donor is-negligible. Many lesbians ,are fearful of
intrusive and unpredictable paternal interest by biological donors.
Biological fathers may be given
greater legal consideration by the
patriarchical judicial system than a
non-biological co-mother. A few
banks offer an option of disc).osing
the identity of the sperm dQnor tothe offspring, at age 18, at thechild's request.
But where to tum for, frozen
spenn? A mere handful of the too
few feminist or lesbian-oriented
clinics in the US offer sperm banking or assistance with insemina-'tion. Most private doctors andmainstream clinics refuse to assist
single women or lesbians. The
Feminist Women's Health Centers
operate' clinics that offer the service in Oakland,
Calif., andAtlanta, Ga. And the Fenway Community Health Center in Boston
has an AI program with a clientele
that is 99 percent lesbian.
According to Jennifer Firestone 'of the Family and Parenting
Services at Fenway, AI is not apanacea. The sperm, which comesfrom a bank in California, is divided into portio.ns, and some ofeach ejaculate ~ tested for viable.sperm_ So sperm counts are lower
in frozen specimens than in fresh
ones. And many lesbians who want
children, like other women, delay
child-bearing for a variety of reasons and are over 35 when they
begin the process, making conception more difficult. It can takea year or more, and some women
will not conceive at all due to'medical problems or just agerelated decline in fertility. And
ovulation cannot be predictedwith precision.

At such feriiinist-Oriented clinics, _a woman is taught to Pl:it aplastic speculum into her vagina
and look at her'cervix with a mirror and flashlight. nus facilitateschecking for vagirial infections
and also the timing of ovulation
for insemination. Each month,when the hormones are ready,one of the ovaries releases an egg
and conception
is possible if
sl>erm connect with egg during
the Crucial 36-hour episode. During ovulation, the opening- of thecervix---called the "os"~is wider
than usual, and a special kind of
mucus is present--thin,stretchy,,with egg-white
consistency.
Worrien trying to conceive need tolook for this mucus and need to
be able to use the speculum forthe insemination. Another useful
tool in detecting ovulation is charting the basal body temperature.
This is the temperatur~ at rest,
usually taken first thing uponawakening; In general, if a woman
is ovulating, her basal body temperature will be below 98 d~grees
up until ovulation and will be
above 98 degrees after ovulation
until menstruation.
Most women can inseminate
with banked sperm at home.
However, there are some states
where medical monopoly rules,
and home insemination is illegalsperm from a bank cannot bereleased to a woman for homeuse. Done in the doctor's office,an insemination is not only clinically distasteflll and more awk-,
ward, but two individuals' sch~ules need to be meshed-thewoman's and the clinician's.
The cost of AI can certainly
be another issue for lesbians. At
Fenway, the cost is limited. tosperm-handling-but with the costof donor-screening, banking andshipping, each insemination runs
from $280 to $320. Most private
clinicians charge fees much higher
for the sperm and collect a large
fee for the insemination as well.
What's a lesbian to do? Our
options clearly are not as unencumbered as they ought to be.

And the Bellt Goes On,

On May 23, Cable 1Vs Robin Byrd

and Jo.hn Wade o.f the Bronx Bo.ro.ugh
President's o.ffice returned to. the sCene o.f
their last rendezvo.us. They both attended,
the Sto.newall Democratic dob's springfund-raiser. Word has it that Sto.newall isleaning against endorsing gay activist
Tom Duane for City CouriciL If yOu are
surprised by this, then you don't read thisco.lumn' regularly. Stonewall didn't
endo.rse o.penly gay candidate David
Rothenberg fo.r City Co.uncil in 1985,
Duane fo.r Council·in 1989, o.r open les,"bian Deborah Glick fo.r State Assembly in
1990. If you are surprised by this, thenyou have yet to. realize that the Stqnewall
Democratic Club really do.esn't care'about gay' empowerment

,

,

,

One Fo~tIn...One Foot Out, , Yo.u'll rem'!mber that there was, some do.ul?t whether Duane's competitor
fo.r the 3rd District Co.uncil seat, Liz,Abzug, wo.uld -be running as an o.peh les,bian. In Joe NiCho.lson'sJune 4 New Yom
Ppst sto.ry, "Abzug's daughter in bid fo.r
council, reveals: I'm gay," Abzug insiststhat it was never really a secret "There is
no. such thing as 'co.ming o.ut' in mybook,' she to.ld Nicho.~son. Nicho.lso.n
reports: "[Abzugl said she'd never mentio.ned. being lesbian during intervi(!Ws 'because 'I have never been asked about
my private life.'" Oh, no.w I understand.
But co.uld you imagine if all o.f us had
wait to. be asked o.ur sexual o.rientatio.n
ho.w much pro.gress o.ur mo.vement
would have made?
