•Bashing in Our Own Back Yard,,

he sorry spectacle of rapidly increasing attacks on gay
men and l~bians was replaced last weekend in New Yorkwith the sorrier spectacle of gays getting bashed even as
thq protested anti-gay violence. The Queer Nation's loud,proud and angry march through the west and East Villages
and the public's violent reaction to it ,raise fundamental questions
about police protection, public homophobia and the very concept of nei~borhood.
'First the police: Why was it that very few ba~hers, taunters,
disturbers-of-the-peace
and instigators were .arrested? Why wasit. that the' polic~ seemed more intent on using plainclothes
officers to provoke violence than on protecting the marchers?
Why was it that unsupervised cops often seemed to side withthe hostile public and acted appropriately only when sergeantsor lieutenants materialized?, Why is it· that Black-led anti-violence marches through, Bensonhu..st ,have been protected by,thousands of disdplinedofficers,
while' a gay anti-violence
march was loosely and inadequately defended by a mere 70,patrol people?
To put it simply, nothing much has change<J-;..the police areas homophobic as ever, and groups like the Queer Nation andACf UP would be foolishly naive to place their trust in cops.
," The second question has to do with public expressions ofhomophobia. The marchers were assaulted at virtually
every inter.
section by 'phobes screaming anti-gay epithets, throwing eggs,
bottles, fists or worse. Why is it ~t smaIl isolated groups of bigots believe that they're safe taunting an army of gays numbering
more than one thousand? Straights iU"etrained to believe that gays
don't fight back, that we are wimps and sissies, that we are unable
and unwilling to protect ourselves., That perception, however misguided, is part of the problem. Until
learn to protect anddefend ourselves and project the image of our power onto thelarger world, nothing much will ever change.
, Finally there's the question of neighborhood. The anti-violence
march rolled through the heart of neighborhoods that have long
been home to gay people and gay businesses. But as we learnedin Provincetown last summer, no neighborhood is really ours
because nowhere can we openly proclaim our differences and still 'remain unmolested. What we discovered last week was that rampant, violent, unabashed homophobia exists right in the center ofgay New York City. Openly proclaim that you're unmistakably
queer, and queer-hatred will find you fast,enough.
Twenty-one years after Stonewall, lesbiails and gay men are
only tolerated as long as we're good, silent and invisible. The
moment we get together to celebrate or protest, when' there's nolonger any doubt that we're queer, we're in big trouble. And this
isn't just true in, small, towns and right-wing rural states. This istrue on the very block where the Stonewall Inn once stood ..
We can congratulate ourselves as much as we like for all thewonderful advances we've' made. But we'd better think aboutbashing, bl,lck lj.Ild even, arming ourselves. Perhaps the time has,come for us to train an elite corps of fighting gay men and les- 'bians oUr own "Pipk" Panthers to guard our str ts. Because
jf the police don't protect us (and they don't),

MadatGLAAD
I was so angry when I'
found out that the Gay andLesbian Alliance Against
Defamation took all thecredit for the lavender lightIng of th~ Empire State
Building In celebration for'Gay and Lesbian Pride
Weekend. I am J.Q.Jlred of
GLAAD, a neected organization, making exclusive'
claims of victory for the gay
and lesbian community. In
the case of the Empire State
Building, I know for a factthat Heritage of Pride has
been writing letters, alongwith other organizations,since 1985. This ongoing
campaign by HOP was agreat help when GLAAD
decided to contact thebuilding manager, Donald B.
Kaplan. For GLAAD to takeall of the credit (documented In New York Newsday,
the Pride Guide and others)
Is not right. Why must they
constantly step on the-toesof others In this community?
By doing this, they arebellttllng the effect and credibility of the other groups thatmake up our brothers andslsters--our family.
So, In remembering June
22, 1990, when you looked
proudly towards the lavender-lit Empire State Building,think of the accomplishment'~:'-as a collected effort. Let us
start working In the plural, notthe singular. Remember, It Is
family, friends and lovers. A .

Although both Signorile andCohen were eventually released withsummonses, marchers marked thetense moments on Astor Place as theturning point of the march. By thetime the group made its way past
more verbal and physical attacks

was more enraged than jubilant.

NEW YORK - It all, began withthe stark black-and-white posters thatare now everywhere in. the West andEast Villages and SoHo: "Promote
Homosexuality," "My Beloved wasQueer-Bashed Here," "Lesbians Alone
Know How NQt to Abuse Power" andother textual impositions of a gay
presence on the public space.
The broadsides advertised the
speaking voke of a new gay andlesbian liberation movement, andQueer Nation, the umbrella groupthrough which the posters wereconceived and developed, staked its
ftrst territorial claim.
According to several members
who participated in the preliminary
meeting that led to the group's"

Aft~r the Uncle Charlie's action,
attendance at Queer Nation's weekly
meetings mushroomed, forcing thegroup to confront procedural issues
and, ultimately, adopt a name.
While some Queer Nationals feltthat the institutionalizationof thegroup, with rules and roles, wasinevitable,
others,recallingthesometimes
painfulparticipatory
democracy of ACf UP and other direct
action groups, resisted. But even as
disagreements over the direction inwhich the group should be going,
cropped up, Queer Nation's proactive
working groups successfully continued
visibility actions.
"Nights Out," an ongoing series ofstraight-bar zaps that have been a sortof R' & R alternative to more aggressiveintervention
on behalfof thecommunity, have occurred at Flutie's atSouth Street Seaport, McSorley's on East
Seventh Street, and the White Horse
Tavern on Hudson Street, all traditionalstraight-singles hangouts.
And the "Queer
Shopping
Network" began making forays into
suburban shopping malls to hand out
gay literature that the Network put
together.
The Youth Visibility Action group,
whose core mission is the promotion ofqueer visibility, recently leafletted
laGuardia and Martin Luther King, Jr.
high schools. Henry Diaz, a student at
Martin Luther King, wrote , theintroductory paragraph to the literature,
which was distributed to students,
teachers and administrators at bothschools one morning recently, andDiaz's openness reportedly provided
incentive to a number of his peers tocome out of the closet, too.
_.~_Eventhe June 16 anti-violence
march, functioned in a broad sense as
a visibility action, and while the focusof the demonstration was specific, theraw anger and unswerving pride' thatmade quite an impression on thecity's dailies forced non-gays andeven gay-bashers to confront lesbians
and gay men with a new, albeit
grudging, respect.
If they only strode the streets forfour and a half short hours withoutfear, those hours reverberated withthe voices of a thousand p~ople
shouting in unison, "We're here! We're--queer I Get used to ttl" ...

In fact, that is precisely what they'

Buildingsdepartment
spokesperson
Vahe
Tiryakian claimed that Les Hommes
was inspected not because it was a gay
business but as part of a policedepartment inspection itinerary. "Wejust go along with the police to do ourthing, to any premise's that they take us
to," TIryakian said. "So they took us tothis [business], among others. This isroutine Task:-Porce activity. It wasn't as
if we singled this place out."
11ryakian said that Les Hommes wason the Task Force's itinerary because
records showed a non. socialclub was operating on its, premises. The
Task Force, he said, investigatesnoncommercial social clubs larger than
750 square feet. On May 24, a building
inspector on the Task Force, issued anorder to vacate based on the belief thatthe store was larger than 750' square
feet (the amount of space needed to bea social club subject to investigation),
had no certificate of occupancy andhad no second exit.
Apparently,
the inspector
wasmistaken. Tuyakian said that when thefloor plans were reviewed' at the
Department of Buildings, inspectors
found that the floor space fell shy of
750 square feet, so the order to vacate
was not in the Task Force's jurisdiction.
They also determined that a certificate
of occupancy did exist, and that there
was a clearly marked second exit.
, Tiryakian' stressed that the Task

na recent film role, Mel Gibson departs from his macho image toridicule drag queens and gay men.
Bird on a Wire is a top-grossing
comedy/adventure film starring Mel Gibson and Goldie Hawn. In the movie, Gibson's character has been on the run frommurderous drug-dealers, assuming variqus filke identities along the way. In one
scene, he returns to one of his former
hideouts,.a hair-styling salon, where heimpersonates a gay hairdresser named
Matty. The salon is run by Raun, aswishy, bitchy "evil queen."
Raun throws a prissy fit and refu&-, 'es to return Gibs09's address book until
Gibson repays a $2,000 debt. Then
Raun begs to accorilpany Gibson on
the lam.
In playing Matty, Gibson adoptsI
the offensive mannerisms of a stereotypical "swish," until he drops the ruseand crashes through the salon's glass
doors on his motorcycle., Equally offensive is the fact that Goldie Hawn's character finds the whole idea that Gibson
might possibly be gay just too amusing.

Angeles, CA 90067.
Interestingly, a small-screen incident went the other way. A recent
episode of Night Court ridiculed notlesbians, but anti-lesbian stereotypes.
In the episode, a journalist is as, signed to interview a judge, Harry,
whois the series' main ,-character. The
journalist is a lesbian and, it so happens, a romance novelist who publishes under an assumed name._)~~arefreshing twist on typical TV portrayals of lesbians, i~ develops thatwhile she is bpe1Jty gay, she is very
concerned that nobody find out that
she's a romance writer. During theepisode, Harry makes a fool of himself by coming on to her in a disgusting display of straight male arrogance. As if to drive the antiheterosexist
point home, anothercharacter on the program, lawyer
Dan Fielding, does the same later inthe show. When Dan learns that thejournalist is gay, he's surprised, explaining that he thought all lesbians
wore flannel and looked like Pete
Rose. The unamused lesbian journalist responds that she thought that she
had entered a courtroom-not
a ju,
nior
high
school.
t
In the end, Harry and Dan realizethat they've acted like fools. They cut abuddy-buddy deal with the journalist thatthey won't tell anyone she's a' romance
writer if she doesn't ,tell anyone how
stupidly they acted abOut her lesbianism.
We need more programming thatpokes fun at stereotypes, 'rather thanglorifying them. Although some of us
may wish that the lesbian lawyer had, taken a more activist, uncompromising- ""-"approach, the producers of Night
Court did a decent job this time anddeselVe to hear from you. As always,
we suggest that you take the' opportunity to ask for a recurring lesbian or
gay character to counteract the overwhelmingly negative stereotypes thatare a given in most other pr~grams.

Now you stand with Dave Kopay as one of thefew people in professional sports to come out and say you are what you are, ' ..
1 could have put this whole thing behind me and not come outof the closet. A lot of people have forgotten or didn't even know
about any kind of a sex scandal that 1 was allegedly involved
with, J: could've ridden the crest of being a former National
League"uinpire into another career. But 1 had decided to write
this book even before 1 was asked to leave baseball, It was a
conscious decision, I'm hoping 1 can get a message across toother gay men and resbians that it's sO much easier on yourself
to be yourself and to be open with yourself and also with yourfamily and your friends,•

What do you think would happen tfthe. gay movement were to
begin to publicize names and out public .figures in sports?
Well, as far as I'm concerned, outing is psychological rape. 1believethat we as a gay society have always asked to have our choicee-'although 1do understand what the gay movement is trying to do.

IZ. anI. Liz: Last Saturday's ,march against violence directed at gay men and "lesbians
only proved what I had suspected: Even
with 1,200 people and police presence,people still feel perfectly comfortable
yelling "Faggots
go home'" in ~ur_neigh•borhood _and then walking straight into
the crowd to hit you. It's important toknow that a lot of bashings happen outside of bar.s and clubs if you think thatyou are safe because you are not "militant" or "political". and the only queer
things you do are in your bedroom and aclub, think again. Bigots don't take thetime to figure out who is closeted, quiet. and willil'ig not to rUak:e any trouble. All,
they see is a "fag" or a "dyke." If fighting for, the right to leave your' house without being
be~ten, raped or killed isn't importantenough, maybe the right to go to a bar
without a bunch of people in cars waiting
for yo~ at closing time is. People don't
care what your orientation is, just what it
seems to be. Enough said for right now.

" A feW"years ago, one of our more prominent ncWelisls
wrote an ari:kle, a sort of papal bUll,' insttucting his felI6w writers on how to write about AIDS ..ThIs was not very'useful. For
one thing, writers write however they can,not acco~ to the
instructions ci another writer. For another, telling writers bow towrite (one of his rules WdS that AIDS Writing should be without
humor) is not much different from telling writers wbat to write.
In fact; it may well be the same thing.
toNo such prescription will be found here-except

. ,68' O~K•, ,remind our playwrights that there are many theatrical styles
in which to write plays dealing With some aspect of the ' .' .
AIDS epidemic, and that the prevalent one is not necessarily the best.
Realism, In which a playwright uses the fewest po5Sible
theatrical conventions In order to create the appearance ofreality, has always been the dominant style of playwriting andproduction In America. It' Is not surprising_that most of our
playwrights are writing their AIDS plays in a more or less realistic style: Realism Is tbe style to which even younger writers
have grown up accustomed (this sad ~ctIs due more to the
influence of television than Of theater).
.
It Is also not surprising, however, that the most powerfully theatrk:al AIDS plays are the ones bearing the least resemblance to "everyday life." Wlll.iam M Hoffman's As Is, one ofthe -two plays about AIDS most frequendy produced, resembles 'opera with its eloquent speech, the tendency of characters to speak In duets and trios, the fluid, uninterrupted
movement of the action. The Blueblack Collective's Dylles

Odette wears nary a feather, and the New York City Ballet
will conclude this week with three performancesofGeorge Balanchine's 1951 recension ,of the ballet's fabledsecond act, in which the swan maidens were rec'osturned-in black. (Ya gotta see it.) ,There you have the Swan Lake saga. "Let's do it to theSwan" has been the name of the game since the ballet premiered in Moscow in 1877, when the precedent for shufflingthe sequence of Tchaikovsky's first ballet score like a deck ofinexhaustible cards set the tone for the free-for-all that has
been Swan Lake's subsequent history. Sections of the music,
like the flfSt act pas de deux, for obvious example, were lostfor almost a century. The whol~ work has barely been recorded, let alone staged, and would run upward of three hours if
it were. The 1895 St. PetersQurg production, the basis of theballet as we know it, has been equally fair game. Most dangerous of all, the sheer ubiquity of Swan Lake since)hen-thisis the ballet even your father has-s.een-has made., It a Sitting duck for "interpretatiQn," the ,endless variety of thespecies swanus queeni by now synopsiZing .successive er.as,
not always happily. Ours alone has given us Swan Lake as
the projection of the prince's mother fixation (by Erik Bruhn),
as the last gasp of mad Ludwig (by John Neumeier) and with.put a lake (by Rudolf Nureyev, who was inspired to relocateset, shore and all to a ballroom).

•
The role, obviously, is a dramatic minefield. Odette is as
doomed it creature as ever set foot on a stage-even her signature gesture, head and arms thrown back over a leg soaring•
in an arabesque, is as much the illustration of a crossbow as it
is an image of escape-and
Little Miss One Note is nothelped by the fact that the hot stuff goes to Odile, who all but
solicits with a red light over her head. Odette is virginity
incarnate, and, the great cloud of melancholy hovering overher ballet-the reason, .1. suspect, that a good Swan Lake will
make even modern dancers weep-posits the classical equation between sexual purity and eternal'lov~" Many of us still
buy the existence of both, but their union, by definition, isstar-crossed. Try, try again.
Swan Lake's enduring mass appeal, even in these diretimes, expresses both the, bitterness underneath all that down
and its mirror opposite, the hope as inevitable as Odette's signature melody (which Tchaikovsky, who knew a good tune,
had composed for a family outing a full decade before hewrote the ballet). Odette and Odile become the crisis ofEden; innocence at war with knowledge, and their fate isabout as happy. Odette's sexual acquiescence signs her death,warrant, and any man who touches Odile is asking for it.
Neither route leads anywhere, bU,tthe effort, as the doomed
one reminds us, is all. Swans mate for life....

A short way down the hall at Caesar's Palace, avenues of slot
machines and acres of gaming tables were attracting a decidedly
unbookish crowd But in the posh Coliseum Room, 335 people gathered Friday, June 1, for a gala fonnal banquet and awards ce~ony
to celebrate the burgeoning gay and lesbian book industry and tohonor talented gay and lesbian writers at the Second Annual Wnbda
literaJy Awards~ .
The desert playland of Las Vegas, everyone conceded, is anunusual place to conduct a literary awards ceremony. But the"Lammies" banquet and awards ceremony is held each year at the
kickoff of the American Booksellers Association (ABA) conven,tion, and this year the giant ABA gathering took place in the
spr.awling, cavernous Las Vegas Convention Center, with over

Music was provided at the opening ceremonies by the San Francisco, Gay Men's Chorus, which has lost onethird of its 225 members to AIDS.

ACTUP Protests, Uz R.turns•
The staggeringly expansive activity
surrounding the annual AIDS conference actually got underway June 19
when ACf UPers staged a major twopronged demo, and film star Elizabeth
Taylor, an advocate for resources tobattle the epidemic, made her firstpost-illness public appear.ance.
About 1,000 protestors demonstrated outside the local offices of the
Immigration and Naturalization Service
and later invaded the Marriott Hotel,
where many of the delegates werestaying.
During the boisterous and spirited
hotel-zap,
which included
smokebombs and mock sex acts on lobby
furniture, activists demanded 2,000 freeconference paSses for people with HIV
infec;:tion, the same number given tojournalists.
Conference organizers had alreadygiven out 375 such passes
andresponded to the protest with an additionall50 tickets.
"This is beautiful," said Dr. Francisco Galvan Diaz, an AIDS researcher
from Mexico, as he rode the Marriott
escalator with the demonstrators and areporterfrom ,the San Francisco
Chronicle. "The whole world is watching."
Eight demonstrators were arrested
at the INS portion of the demo after
they vaulted police barricades.
Taylor was in town to announce
the kickoff of the American Foundation
for AIDS Research's Internati.onal Fund,. which will promote AIDS prevention
projects in Central Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and Southeast Asia. 'In an eight-minute-Iong, two-hourdelayed
speech,Taylorsaid;"Widespread
ignorance about AIDS
and the transmission ofHIV is putting
millions of people at risk throughout
the developing world. And in some ofthe hardest-hit areas, the AIDS crisis
comes 00' top of crushing poverty, hor,rible famine and, sometimes, the night. ' mare of war. ".
Taylor required assistance to step
,up t,o the podium, and her voice quiv,':eredduring the talk. Newspaper,"

reporters called her "frail," "weak" and"impassioned."

Th. Boycott
The conference was boycotted ,bydozens of community-based
AIDS
organizations and government officials
worldwide because of the discriminatory U.S. immigration policies.
According to conference officials,
30 of the 2,500 scientists scheduled tomake presentati?ns
withdrew, alongwith three of the\ 72 speakers for plenary sessions.
But more than 10,00 persons from
more than 80 countries did show up,
rivaling the attendance at last year's
gathering in Montreal. The turnout led
many observers to conclude that, theimpact of the- boycott on the nuts and .
bolts of the- conference had been mini-,

Drugs newsworthy as the conference kicked off included CompoundQ, lentinan and isoprinosine.
Made from the roots of a Chinese
cucumber plant, Q has shown promise
in apprOximately half of the 62 individuals participating in a study conductedby the community~based
Project
Inform. Eight of the participants haveseen a complete normalization of theirimmune function.
Lentinan, which is derived fromshitake mushrooms and is used to treat
cancerin Japan,has reportedly
improved immune function in nine of '30 patients in an ongoing study by San
Francisco General Hospital's Dona~dAbrams. At press time, Abr.ams had not
yet made any formal remarks.
Isoprinosine .is being investigatedby Danish researchers, who said that ina study of 430 HIV-infected individuals,
those taking the drug progressed to
AIDS almost three tiIpes less often thanthose taking a placebo.

Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S.

vaccine should be available by the endof the 199Os, while HIV discoverer Luc
