Bonewalilng,
We (the,Stonewali Democratic ClubPwere distressed,
to see your unfair and Inaccurate attack on our organization In the August 8 (no.

want to let you and yourreaders know our side of
the story.
Arst, we are as gay andproud as you and others In
our community. are.
Second, we work very
hard to lobby elected andpublic officials to address ourcommunity's
Issues andagendas. We also have avery successful record In supporting winning candidates
who care about our Issues.
We worked very hard tog~t openly gay candidates
like Richard Faillaelected,to the state Supreme
Court, Joan lobls to the
Civil Court and Frank Clemmons and Philip Reed to
district leader positions. 'Over the years we haveworked closely ,with the New
York_State lesbian and Gay
lobby, the New York City ,Gay and lesbian Antl- Violence Project, the Coalition
for lesbian and Gay Rights
and other community organizations.
, We strongly believe thatvoting for someone exclusively because of their sexual
orientation Is wrong. Beinggay or leSbIan Is very important to us, but It Is wrong to
use that as the only reason
to vote for a candidate. It Is
wrong for our community to
be held hostage to the ego

Jesse Helms: And this week, the FEC
confirmed, R. Jack Hawke, Jr., state
Republican chair of North Carolina,
filed an FEC complaint against the
National Abortion Rights Action
League for its attacks on Jesse Helms'
anti-abortion record.
But filing complaints with the
FEC against progressive groups is nota new tactic for conservatives. ,in
1984, the National Conservative,Political Action Committee accused the
National Organization for Women of
violating federal election law when it
criticized such candidates as Ronald
Reagan and Jesse Helms in its fundraising literature. A U.S. district court
ruled in NOW's favor in May 1989,
but the FEC has appealed, and adecision is still pending. According toLena Zezulin, a lawyer who defended
NOW against these allegations,
NCPAC's complaint was a "pre-election tactic.·
MichaelPetrelisof ACT
UP/DC, ,who, along with Nancy
Solomon of ACT UP/San Francisco,
was one of two individuals namedin the complaint, commented, "I
think this is ,another example ofhow Helms and his supporters aretrying to silence gays and lesbians." Saying that he thought hewas named because of his invo'Ivement in sit-ins at Jesse Helms'
offices, Petrelis concluded, "I think, this is a political vendetta.·
In the opinion of William Waybourne, vice president of the Dallas
Gay Allil\nce, th~ complaint is a"form of legal harassment," but headded, "We',re moving right alongwith the boycott at the same time."
He said he believes that "the filingof the complaint has made somepeople come off the fence" and join
the boycott.
Meanwhile, a recent poll of 813. North carolina voters conducted by
Mason-Dixon Opinion Researchshows the Senate battle between
Harvey Gantt and Jesse Helms, to bea statistical dead heat. Gantt has aslight lead over Helms, 46 percent to44 percent, but 10 percent of thevoters are still undecided, with thepoll's margin of error 3.5 percent. T,

explicit conversations if access to thelines was not automatically blocked. '"It's a clear ,victory," remarked
Kendall Morrison, publisher of OutWeek and president of Dial Information
Services, one of the phone-sex,
com~ies
involved in the suit. "But I
really fmd it sad and disturbing that wehave to work and fight so hard to beable ,to' do:' something so simple as totalk freely on the phone," Morrison
added. Both phone-sex company owners and gay publishers were at the, forefront of fighting the new laws.
The decision was particularly
heartening for the lesbian and gay
community, in which phone-sex has
boomed as an erotic and safe alterna•
tive to anonymous contacts.Additionally, the ruling means that many gay
and lesbian publications that havecome to rely on the revenue generated
by phone-sex advertisements are noIlonger in danger of folding from thesudden decrease in sales that the virtual elimination of phone sex would'have meant.
While the federal court did nothave jurisdiction to decide the constitutionality of the, FCC regulations,
Lambda Legal Defense and Education" Fund's Evan Wolfson, ab attorney forthe plaintiffs, said that the decision
may have national
implications
because the injunction enjoins theattorney general of the United Statesfrom enforcing the law. Additionally,
the judgment provides phone-sex
companies in other jurisdictions witha favorable federal~ court ruling tocite on their own behalf.

here disagreed with three lesbians who

claim that they should be allowed toplace classified ads in a Green Bay
paper under the state's liberal publicaccommodation law.
•
The women, Jay Hathaway and
Terry and Peggy Wan der Veers, filed
an appeal to the July 10 ruling by theThird District Court of Appeals in
Wausau.
In 1986, Hatµaway attempted toplace a classified ad in the Green Bay
Press-Gazette for Among Friends, a gay
and lesbian organization, providing
information and referral services forrural WISCOnsin.About the same time,
the Van der Veers, a couple with thesame last name, tried to' place an adfor "unique, hand-painted sweatshirfs
for lesbians.",
The newspaper, owned by: Gannett, turned down both ads because
they contained the words, "lesbian" and"gay" with the explanation, "We just
don't print those kinds of ads."
Hathaway and the Van der Veers
filed complaints under the state's civilrights law, which forbids sexual-orientation discrimination by a "public placeof accommodationor amusement."
This includes "places of business" and"any place where accommodations,amusement,
goods or services areavailable either free or for a consideration." The three women argued thatthe classified advertising section of theregion's largest-circulation newspaper
was in effect a marketplace, subject tothe nondiscrimination requirements of
the law.
The court disagreed. Although theliteral meaniI.1g of the statute might
apply to the newspapei-'s classified ad
section, the court did not believe that
the Legislature intended such a result.
The court's opinion appears to carve ahuge exception into the state's civilrights law, which would presumably
allow newspapers to refuse advertisingbased on the race, sex, age or other personal characteristics of the advertiser.
Hathaway is represented by WIS. consin attol'{ley Mark Borns. The Van
der Veers are represented
by Paula
Ettelbrick of Lambda Legal Defense
and Education Fund. Nan t1unter, former director of the ACLU's Lesbian and
Gay Rights Project, presented an o~argument before the appeals court.

York. At AADA, Ethyl was trained in the
cIassical tradition, and following his graduation, he ,joined Adrian Hall's Trinity
Square Repertory Company in Providence,
RI., where he stayed for seven years. 'In 1975, Ethyl returned to New Yorlc
and settled in a ~orefront on the Lower
East Side. Immediately and inevitably, heBeloved 'actor, playwright, performance artist, East Village drag queen andgrande dame of queer theater, Ethyl
Eichelberger was found dead in his home
on Staten Island by friends on August 12,
1990. He. was 45 years old and took his life
less than a week after his most recent play,[)as VEJanya Mama, had closed at p.s. 122: and on the eve of his planned departure for
Washington, D,C., where he was scheduled
to appear in Bfecht's 1be Caucasian Chalk
Circle at the Arena Theater.
Word of his suicide cast a pall thisweek over the New York lesbian and gay
community, with friends, colleagues anddevotees of the inimitable performer
struggling to make sense of this sudden,
mortifying 1055. By no means widely known
was the fact that Ethyl, like so many of his
fans, had been diago.sed with AIDS and had
recently experienced exhaustion, wastingand other debilitating effectS related not'only to the virus but also to AZT. There
were ~rts
that he had stopped taking thedrug, which is the sole anti-viral yet
approved by the FDA, and had been
casting about in vain for an alternative
treatment. Other reports stressed that inaddition to concern over his own
deteriorating health, Ethyl had assumed

was described by critics as stealing his
scenes by expert "eyeball" acting. In orderto pay the bills, Ethyl got a license intheatrical hairdressing from the WtIssima
Beauty School in 1975, the same year hehad his name legally chaiiged to Ethyl inhonor of the great ladies of the stage(Barrymore, say, and Mennan), and C>Vef
the, years, he did hair, makeup andcostumes not only for Ludlam but for a fairnumber of off-Broadway casts.
In 1977, Ethyl staged Phedre, the firstof the ,33 plays he conceived and executedduring his short but prodigious career.
Fantastically uncla.ssifiable,these spectacles
were~ ,exemplary acts of bricolage,
combiningelements of cIassicaltheater, theI'avant-garde, burlesque, camp, drag andagitprop to create the most sublime effects.
His plays can be described as inspired
adaptations of either Great TI, example, Hamlette (1984), Leer (1985),
Klytemnestra, the Nightingale of Argos,(1987) and Das Vetianya Mama (1990),
which was 'based 00" Chekov's Three
Sisters and included a homoerotic dance _that registered, with his characteristicallyinn~t
but sardonic wit, Ethyl's protest of
the Helms Amenclrnent-or Great WOmenof History-Nefert-U (1978), Minnie theMaid (1981, winner of a Yillager award),
Lucrezfa Borgia 0982, winner of an Oble

Ethyl of coursefeatured as the leading lady. These plotless 'wonders were acclaimed by both, mainstream anel,downtown critics for thebrilliance of the writing; the originality ofthe staging and the spontaneity of theperfonnances, which marked an unusual _indeed in queer theater.
Ethyl's sensibility was infonned by, in
addition to Ludlam's influence, his own
staggering erudition and a fasclnation withimprovbation. He was a reguiar'performer
at Pyramid, where he danced in drag on
the bar for money, as well as at 8 B.C.,

Ethyl financed the staging of his
work by doing conventional theatricalplays. He appeared in, among other distinguished productions, ,Lincoln Center's
Measure for Measure and The Comedy ofErrors with the Flying Karamazov Brothers, Yale Repertory's TroIIus and Cressida,
John Jessurun's Chang in a Void Moon,
the WPATheatte's Bu't,zsow BerlIeIey, theBroadway version of The Threepenny

film about the rock band, the Doors, in•which Ethyl has a five-mlnute role playing
himself, a fabulous East Village superstar.
Of late, Ethyl had more or less created his
own acting company in the manner ofCharles Ludlam, though unlike the Ridiculous, he and his collaborators-Black-Eyed
Susan, Mr. Fashion, Joni Moossy, Helen
Schumacher and Jonathan Baker-lacked
a space. Certainly, a new Ethyl Eichelbetger play could be counted on to attract
attention of an kinds and a sellout crowd:
The performances were an experience,out there, ,not to be mlssed. As many ailIcs no doubt will note, Ethyl'S suicide,along with the AIDS-related deaths of Jack
Smith and Charles Ludlam, signals the end,or the destruction,of an immensely

It is no exaggeration to say that
Ethyl Eichelberger was an astonishing. phenomenon.

sports came to a conclusion. There
were at least tWo major upsets: a, teamof Atlanta all~StarScame from behind tobeat the. Los Angeles Griffs in the softball ftnale, handing the Griffs their ftrst

to brilliant work bygoalie Frank L~anan in stopping apenalty kick. The San Francisco Spikes
experienced its first-ever loss in gay
play, since Gay Game~ I iri 1982.
If there were any practical lessons
from the Games, they were that gay
people are going to have to learn
how to cope with the problems created by the movement's
increasing
scale. Vancouver, a small gay community just emerging from the closet,'performed heroically in the face of
the worldwide onslaught.
Still, many things fell through thecracks. There wasn't enough provision
made for persons with AIDS. One dart
player from Houston, too fatigued tocomplete the full tournament, wasdenied a team silver medal until Houston protested vociferously. Lesbianand,Gay Band , president. John MacCaulleysaid that the bands had to scramble tofmd a car for PWAs so that they could
participate in Monday's parade celebrating Vancouver's Gay Pride Day. Facilities were strained to the utmost, andthere were lo~g lines all week outside

food and beverage ticket-sales tables.
The lack of forethought on making
the entire event' accessible to the press
reflected a deeper issue whether the. gai:nt:;swere a celebration put on primarily for the beneftt of the athletes, as
Celebration '90 Communications Director Sarah Temple insisted, or whether'
the Games were just as much about

M.D. one of the discoverers of the
AIDS virus-that, mycoplasma infectiori might be an important cofactor in

in the development of AIDS not justan opportunistic infection. His teamfound mycoplasma in the blood ofabout
one-thirdof AIDS patients; theI'organisms are hard to detect, so they

The CHI Study
The treatment now
being planned by theCommunity Research
Initiative will randomize 150 patientswith an ,ARC diagnosis to one ofthree daily doses of doxycycline: 50,
100, or 200 mgtwice
a day, Researchers will monitor patients' clinical status and do the usual blood
work; in addition, a special laborato-'
ry will test. blood samples for my- .

coplasma, at baseline and at threemonth intervals, Because clinicalevaluations can be subjective, themycoplasma
test results will be•,bHnded; a Data Safety Monitoring
Bbard'... will examine the un blinded
data after $ix months; in order to halt
the study if the results are dramatic
enough to justify that step.
The CRI has raised about half of
the $300,000 required for this study;
it wants to have at least two-thirdsof the funding before 'beginning, to, ,assure that the trial can be completed. Doxycycline is a ,generic drug, as. - its paten~ has expired; therefore" •pharmaceutical companies have no
incentive to fund research. Federal
agencies are not yet ready to conduct a treatment ~rial for mycoplasma, although they may do a prevalence study by analyzing blood and, tissue samples.
' .
.
This CRI study is important forseveral reasons:- Even before mycoplasma became
an issue, some physicians have preI!Cribed doxycycline eJ;Ilpiricallyfor
people with HIV who had unknown
illnesses. The rationale is that may
people with AIDS have opportunistic infections which have not
been
,
",'
diagnosed (as has ,been shown by"
autopsy studies); doxycycline is .fairly safe and is effective against many ,disease-causing' organisms, so it
could be worth trying when at, tempts to diagnose a problem have
, fa}led. The doxycycline trial will".,' provide the best available data to
guide empirical use of the antibiotic
by persons with HN-whetheror
not mycoplasma is iniportant.
-The study will test Dr. Montagnier's hypothesis that mycoplasma'infection may be a major cofactor in
AIDS. It will show whether theavailable mycoplasma blood test is,
helpful in gl,Iiding the use of doxycycline, and whether testing for mycoplasma has prognostic value.
-Doxycycline is readily available,
very well known in human Use andin~ive.
Therefore, if'the study.
does-'find a positive result, it could-have rapid impact on AIDS treatment in the United States and elsewhere.
.

cameras, martial-arts training and a detennination to intercede in assaults and possibly detain" bashers until police anive. It is, they concede, apotentially dangerous undertaking. But they are, outraged by the city's mostly indifferent response/0 this summer's explosive increase in gay-bashing and are burning to'send notice to the bashers'of the world that the party is over.
Explairis Steve Machon, 41, a veteran activis~
and a major player in the Panthers, "The basic
message is this: We're nonviolent, but if you bash
our c:ommunity, we're going to bash back. Gaysand lesbians don't take it anymore."With bashings up 82 percent in the first sevenmonths of 1m--:-316 caSes vs.174 for the same period lastyear, according to the New YorklCity Gay and Lesbhm AntiViolence Project-the queer world is throwing off its passivity and politeness. The fury ticked up a notch in June, when
Queer Nation's massive anti-violence march drew volleys ofbeer bottles, heckling and assaults from bystanders-andaccusations from pQlice that marohers incited the attacks.
But the Pink Panthers are more than just a matter-of-fact
outgrowth of frustration over crime and the public'S apathy.
They represent a raising of. the' stakes for lesbhm and gay
activism. By putting their oWIi ¢ety on the line, membersof the Pink Panther Patrol make themselves a walking politicaI_~tatement for empowennent and pride as well as--theword recurs frequently iri their discussioIlS--Q target. "We'rebeing bashed by the government, we're being bashed on
the street, we're being bashed allover the place," says Gem
Wells, 35, a longtime activist and Panther member. "So whena guy in the patrol said to me, 'I feel like a target,' myresponse was, 'I'm a lesbian, and every time I walk the,street I'm a target.' It's kind of scary what we're dOing, but
we don't know any other way right now."
he ck:cision to take to the streets gives truth to Victor
Hugo's famous declaration: "No anny can withstand thestrength of an idea whose tirile has come." The Panthers
arose after years of munnuring among gays and lesbians
about the need for direct action to stpp the violence. "It wasone' of those things where every party or gathering you would
go to, someone would bring it up," recaIIs Wells. "There was a-- lot of saying, 'We've got to do something about it,' and a lot offrustration and anger, but no one knew what to do."At the ,Les,bian and Gay Pride March in late June, somemembers of Queer Nation's contingent held another one ofthese discussions as they rilarched and chanted down Fifth
Avenue, informally debating the possibility of organizing apatrol. Then, at the group's July 5 meeting, a call was madefor the formation of a working group to fight bashing. A
similar call went out on the floor of ACI' UP the following
week, and in mid-July, a contingent of activists met with city
officials, including Marjorie J. Hill, the mayor's liaison to thelesbian and gay community, and Vanessa Ferro, the police
department's gay and lesbian liaison, to discuss plans.
The early, energetic meetings were tinged with apprehension and occasional contentiousness.
"The mood at
the time was really kind of tentative," recalls Pat Gulbis,
21, a second-year Harvard Law student. "There were only
about a dozen people, so there was a lot of concern that
there wasn't enough interest. And we also realized that it,

t was that kind of a night. On myway home I stopped by therevolving cocktail lounge at the
Marriott Marquis Hotel and gave
the pianist $20 to play "Die Balladevon der Hollenlili" from Happy End,
whereupon he launched into an especially aggressive interpretation of "I,
Promise You a Happy Ending" fromMack and Mabel. The bartender(whose name I later learned was
Hector) did seem glad to see me.
Looking up from his Merry Mixer.cocktail book, he inquired whether I
knew what ingredients went into a

not on time. I had finally confl1'tlled

to the pressure to produce a less challenging commercial
product. Blazing trails exacts a heavy price.
Normally, I would have tossed this mainstream
effort of warm and moody love songs on the CD sellpile, but Armatrad,ing has earned the "never sell" distinction in my collection.
I started to enjoy Hearts and Flowers when the echo of
the word "boy" in the first song faded into appropriate proportion. When you are as starved for confirmation as thislesbian music critic is, it takes a while to get over thatmoment, that hopeful opening, elusive and rare, where lesbian love might have existed.
Hearts and Flowers, which Armatrading herself produced, has a stripped-down sound, with vocals laid bareon a base of synthesized undercurrents and deep, hollow,
shades enclosing the material. Each song is a romantic bal. lad that challenges the full extent of Armatrading's vocal
range, from near falsetto to her natural alto.
Armatrading occasionally hints at her legendary command of elaborate turns of romance but falls' back only tooquickly on cliche. As a singer and writer noted for her useof eccentric phrasing and bold sentiments, it is disappointing that she takes no such chances on this album.
Although less than spectacular, Hearts and Flowers is
subdued and pleasant. As usual, Armatrading brings a compelling and original treatment to her work, and her expres.sive cadences ease into your consciousness.

the times, Atlantic Records is known as "the house that
Ruth built." Although fantastically successful, she was neverfully compensated for her work, since royalties and exposure were reserved for white artists who would,cover her;material and make the television rounds. In the '60s her
career ground to a halt, and she found herself driving
school buses, working as a maid and occasionally performing in local Long Island clubs to support her two sons.
Brown reemerged in the late 70s with appearances on
TV and in regional theater companies; eventually, shefound parts in µlovies. Without question, she still has every
drop of that talent that made her a star. Blues on Broadway
is a compilation of songs from the stage show of the same ,name, which had a long run in Europe before hitting
Broadway and earning Brown a Tony award.
Brown adds elegance and charismatic intensity to her
songs here, her clipped intonation reminiscent of Billie 'Holiday. Her earthy, gravel-laden delivery, rich andreserved tonally, recalls the Fairmont and smokey leatherfilled back 'rooms. Her 1990 Grammy for Blues on
Broadway testifies to the fact that Ruth Brown has returned
to claim what is rightfully hers.

lent new anthology and the harbinger of what I hope will
be a long line of l~bian critical writings. If it does not provide all the answers, it will certainly raise provocative questions about the role' of lesbians in academia. Editors Karla
Jay and Joanne, Glasgow have assembled 23 essays, bothacademic and informal, on a wide range of topics relevantto the growing field of lesbian studies. ~e alI collections,
Lesbian Texts and Contexts can be choppy to the point ofunevenness, but this diversity is as much a source ofstrength as it is a cause for
irritation.
,
The book is divided into three sections ~riters on
Their Work," "Lesbian Encodings, Decodings" and "Lesbian
Themes, Sources"-and takes as its standard Adrienne Rich's
model of "re-vision": "the act of seeing with fresh eyes, ofentering an old text from a new critical direction." Jay andGlasgow admit to consciously having selected essays that"examine the complex entanglements of identity, voice,intersubjectivity, textualities and sexualities," in this way
sharing in this project of re-vision. The majority live up to
this ambition; others at least make a valiant effort.
It's typical of the diversity of lesbian criticism (and theperversityof my own taste) that my two favorite.

pieces Elizabeth Meese's "Theorizing Lesbian:Writing-A
Love Letter" and Lee Lynch's "Cruising the Libraries," (WithPaula Bennett's "The Pea That Duty Locks: Lesbian andFeminist-Heterosexual Readings of Emily Dickinson's Poetry"running a close third)-arethe most dissimilar and yet,
oddly, the most alike. Both are powerfully articulate about
lesbian desire and language; both are intelligent, arousing, a "little stubborn and passionate about what' it means, in semiotic and material terms, to be a lesbian. For Meese, to write
les~ian or "lesbian" or as a lesbian ~ms to efface the irtdividual lesbian body while literalizing it; it creates a new entity, (the) "lesbian:writing": "[W]hen...our fingers, soft andelectric, just meet ..or as the pen makes its tracks across the
body of the page, its friction and its struggle to work thecourse faithfully, our passions inscribed energetically in the
body of language in the mind: a love letter." .
Fiercely erotic,
appropriating
the terms ofphallo(go)centric discourse forIesbian use, this is some of
the best lesbian criticism around. After all, who would havethought of the pen as a tool for the expression of lesbian
desire in a literate culture in which "pen is" is equated with

But, this essay's problem is that we can't always understand what Meese means. Like many feminist critics who
employ poststructuralist theory, she seems unable to distinguish between. language that powerfully communicates newmeanings and incomprehensible, jargon that alienates. Her
