The Corporation PAGE 10 ~ NEWS 1983 NEWS WRAP-UP /n this last edition of TWT magazine for the old year, 1983, the editorial staff, as usual, has taken its annual look back into the year just completed. Here are the top five gay news stories of 1983 in Texas-a chronicle of the year's most important news developments. TWT NEWS selected the order of these stories on the basis of how each related to and affected the gay lifesty/e in Texas during the past year, from the cornerstones of law, politics and health-i.e. gay rights and our lifestyle. News Story # 1 4\\\1\\ ~ , SALES EXECUTIVESALES MANAGER Jim Veteto CORPUS _______________ ~ UNDERSTANDING (713) 527-9111 Montrose Texas 77006 DALLAS OFFICE (214) 521-0622 Scott . •• TWT DECEMBER 30. 1983 - JANUARY S. 1984 365 GAY DAYS OF TEXAS FREEDOM TEXAS - All 365 days of 1983 were enjoyed by gay men and lesbians in the State of Texas without the burden of 21.06 hangi ng over the gay lifestyle. It was the first complete year of freedom from that section of the Texas Penal Code which had outlawed homosexual conduct. It was the first complete year that Texas homosexuals were legalized, that they were not deemed lawbreakers simply because of their lifestyle-their sexual preference. Because nothing can truly change until the laws are changed is why TWT NEWS has selected gay legalized freedom as the top story in Texas of 1983. The freedom from legal bondage actually began on August 17, 1982, when Federal District Judge Jerry Buchmeyer struck down 21.06, declaring it unconstitutional.lt was on that day that Texas became the twenty-sixth state in a growing list to legalize homosexuality. However,' the fight in the courts actually started years earlier, when the Texas Human Rights Foundation was formed with its primary purpose being to change the state law. Plaintiff Don Baker, a schoolteacher from Dallas, had agreed to file suit. His trial came on June 15, 1981. However, it was not until 14 months later that a final verdict was TWT DECEMBER 30. 1983 - JANUARY S. 1984 handed down in favor of gays. But, even after Judge Buchmeyer had made his ruling, there were still roadblocks being thrown up to overturn the judgment. Within two months, on October 28, Potter County District Attorney, Danny E.Hill, had appealed thedecision. Hill's appeal was followed by then-Attorney General Mark White's legal concern. Why did White appeal 21.06? Senior lobbyist for gay rights in Austin, Bettie Naylor, explained to TWT NEWS, "I think he [White] felt an obligation as attorney general to appeal that law, just as he did other laws and challenges to the Texas Constitution. He felt he didn't have much choice, since he was the attorney generaL" However, on March 11, 1983,the newly-elected attorney general, Jim Mattox, dropped Hill's appeal of 21.06. It is important to remember that Mattox took many political risks in deciding not to appeal. "His courage is applauded," remarked the late M. Robert Schwab, then president of THRF, adding, "Maddox took the correct step, both morally and legally." It was after Mattox's November 1982 election as attorney general, that Schwab had pred icted to TWT NEWS that "Mattox would likely drop the state's appeal of 21.06"-and he did. Thus, 21.06was obliterated, once and for all. Its obliteration was celebrated on PAGE 11 the anniversary of the Buchmeyer decision. On August 17, 1983, the gay community of Dallas presented its first annual Texas Freedom Festival, to mark the 365th day of homosexual freedom. Dignitaries and gay leaders from across the state came together to share in the historic moment. <l 0* ~~~ w1f ~ IE\JY7 o o~, * from ~" <1~ News Story #2 "THE austin's CROSSING # 1 cruise bar" o I> 1<1 D ~ OPEN 7AM DAILY 611 RED RIVER 476-3611 #1 CRUISE BAR IN • austin 3 NIGHT OF NEW YEAR'S EVE plus 3 NIGHTS OF LASCIVIOUS BEHAVIOR FRIDAY-SATURDAY-SUNDAY .0 AT MIDNIGHT SPECIAL D!~NKPRICES '~' .\1 •-'1 ~ '\ PAGE 12 ~ / • o * MIDNIGHT MADNESS all three nights 0 TWT DECEMBER 30. 1983 - JANUARY 5. 1984 TEXAS GAY LOBBY BATTLES FOES TEXAS - With the 21.06 victory still fresh in Texas history books, another fight to save our freedom was already building in the 1983session of the Texas Legislature. No sooner had we won one battle, that another had loomed. No sooner had 21.06 been declared unconstitutional, that 21.38 was fired at us in a volley of homophobia. State Representative Bill Ceverha, a Republican from Richardson, Texas, had introduced a new anti-gay sodomy bill last winter, during the 1983 Legislative session. Ceverha wanted to make certain that since 21.06 was then adead issue, Texas did not go without any antigay law on the books. Thus, he hurriedly concocted House Bill 21.38. It would have torn down the very things that had just been accomplished in defeating 21.06. Its language was harsh and crude; its purpose was to once again take away our newly-acquired freedom. It was because of the gay lobby in Austin, the Lesbian/Gay Rights Advocates, that the bill was stymied in committee and never came to a vote on the floor of the Legislature. Ceverha tried to wrap the emotion of the AIDS issue around his bill to build sympathy and support, but it failed, in spite of the much publicized attention given to the Dallas Doctors Against AIDS group. Why did Ceverha introduce HB-21.38? "It's strictly my personal speculation," Bettie Naylor, senior lobbyist for LGRA, said, "but there is no question about the fact that the man really does havea problem with homosexuality. TWT DECEMBEA 30. 1983 - JANUARY 5. 1984 "There were a few other legislators like Hollowell from near Waco who joined Ceverha, but he [Ceverha] was the main catalyst," Naylor explained. Looking back on the 68th session of the State Legislature, it can be recorded that no anti-gay legislation was allowed to pass into law. Our gay lobby was extremely successful on all fronts in 1983. Aside from sidetracking HB-21.38, LGRA also killed a bill which would have required VD testing for all citizens, helped keep the drinking age from being raised to 21, helped keep popper aromas legalized in Texas, and helped keep the gay lifestyle from being infringed on by narrow-minded house bills. Governor Mark'White does not want to have to deal with bills like HB-21.38, LGRA has assured. "He [White] is a good man for Texas gays and lesbians to have as governor ofTexas, " it has been proven, opined LGRA. News Story #3 TEXAS GAY VOTE GAINS MORE CLOUT TEXAS - In 1983,gay voters in cities like Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio, demonstrated that when our community votes together, we have much strength, enough strength in fact to get pro-gay, pro-human rights candidates elected to office. Voting together is known as bloc voting. Ever since the late 1970s, politicians in Texas have become increasingly aware that a gay endorsement is a ticket to ride to victory rather than a kiss of death. Each election year, more and more candidates come before our local political organizations seeking the gay community's endorsement. 1983was no exception. In fact, theexceptions became the rule. In San Antonio, the newly-formed Alamo Human Rights Commission endorsed a staunch advocate of human rights, Orlando Garcia. On November 19, Garcia galloped to victory in his bid for a Texas House seat, with a 72% plurality. PAGE 13 lOPM SATURDAY In San Antonio's April 2 city election, AHRC had made its first endorsements and won big. AHRC had endorsed such victorious candidates as Maria Berriozabel and Bernardo Eureste for San Antonio City Council. Eureste's opponent, Jesse Valdez, had even appeared on local television doing some gay-baiting. He labeled the man who was to beat him in an April 16 runoff as "queer." Later, however, he apologized sincerely to AHRC. Although AHRC did not officially endorse Mayor Henry Cisneros, his 94.1% landslide mandate was heralded as a victory for human rights. In Austin, the ALGPC was able to again count many winners in its victory column in last spring's city election. There was, however, a controversy in the mayor's rac'e and considerable confusion in one Austin City Council race. In the April 30 runoff, ALGPC supported, but didn't endorse, Ron Mullen, who was elected mayor over Lowell Lebermann by 52.6%. ALGPC, although pleased with the Mullen victory, had not officially endorsed the winner. "The vote in the ALGPC about the mayoral race was between endorsing Ron Mullen, or making no endorsement at all," Mary Summerall had told TWT NEWS. "The majority of those in attendance had voted to make no endorsement. Meanwhile, many of the city's leading gay clubs had visibly thrown their support behind Lebermann. Those same clubs and gay businesses had also thrown theirsupport behind Mark Spaeth for one of the six Austin City Council positions. Spaeth was on record "for being sensitive to all the interests of the community." But ALGPC also made no endorsement of Spaeth for Place 4, deciding instead to endorse Leda Roselle. Thus, there was no real gay bloc vote in Austin, as the community lay divided. The vote, as expected, also divided and the race was thrown into an April 30 runoff. ALGPC-endorsed Rosell did not even make that runoff. So, ALGPC switched their endorsement to George Humprhey D NEW YEAR" THE "LOFT" BAR WILL ANCING & CELEBRATIN..6 •••of: SUNDAY JANUARY 1 NEW YEAR'S DAY BUFFET WITH BLACK-EYED PEAS AND ALL THE FIXIN'S a • ~ HOME OF THE MUSTANG CLUB OF HOUSTON THE SUNDANCE CATTLE COMPANY AND THE MONTROSE COUNTRY CLOGGERS PEN 7AM MONDAY-SATURDAY i1.1JPt'lFACIFIC, PAGE 14 HOUSTON, TEXAS 77006 (713) TWT DECEMBER 30. 1983 - JANUARY 5. 1984 TWT DECEMBER 30. 1983 - JANUARY 5. 1984 -again not endorsing frontrunner Spaeth. In that runoff, Spaeth trailed most of the night, but pulled ahead in the end to win by a slim 50.6% margin. ALGPC critics cite the fact that the caucus had twice endorsed a loser in the same race. In Dallas, a similar story brewed in a similar city council election on April 2. DGPC had voted to endorse incumbent Ricardo Medrano, rather than challenger Paul Fielding. Yet some opponents of DGPC supported Fielding. The community was split, and so was the vote. In fact, the entire race was thrown into a tense runoff on April 16. And, as was true in Austin, the gay-endorsed candidate, which was Medrano, lost. Fielding in Dallas, like Spaeth in Austin, was a supporter of gay rights, but like Spaeth, had also not sought the gay endorsement. Yet he won, if only by a slim 52% margin. DGPC explained later to TWT NEWS that redistricting in Oak Lawn had given the caucus reason to believe that District 2 no longer contained their central core of gay voters. As fate would have it, another similar story brewed in Houston, in the November 8 election. Once again, a city council race was at stake, just like in Austin and Dallas. Once again, both candidates were pro-gay, pro-human rights. And, once again, just as in Austin and Dallas, the gay-endorsed candidate lost. The heated race between the winner, Anthony Hall, and the loser, Nikki van Hightower, found sectors of the gay community divided over whom to support. Although van Hightower carried the gay precincts of Montrose, Hall won City Hall. Hall had cut over 25% into the Houston gay bloc vote. However, it was the only race where a GPC-endorsed candidate lost, because Mayor Kathy Whitmire and City Councilmembers Eleanor Tinsley, George Greanias, Judson Robinson, Jr., Jim Greenwood, Rodney Ellis and Dale Gorczynski-all GPC-endorsed-won. Yet in spite of the many 1983 gay political victories in Austin, Dallas and PAGE 15 Houston, there is considerable concern in each of these cities that the political process of endorsing candidates needs to be reexamined. For a gay political caucus to lose a crucial battle in one Texas city could be called circumstance. But for it to have happened in Texas' three most politically active cities in one year, opens the door to self-introspection. Something has happened. A trend has shown up on the graphs of gay bloc voting. That something is this: The days of having only one pro-gay candidate run for a particular office are over. As our clout grows, more and more pro-gay candidates will surely seek our support. The city council decisions made in 1983 in Austin between Spaeth and Roselle/Humphrey; in Dallas between Medrano and Fielding, and in Houston between Hall and van Hightower, are minor confrontations-although bitter-when compared to the even greater choices facing gay bloc voters in 1984. Let us hope that we have learned in 1983 what we will have to deal with in 1984. Let us not burn political bridges that we may have to recross. Let us not tear down one of our political friends in order to build up another. Who is to say that the victors-nonALGPC-endorsed Spaeth in Austin, nonDGPC-endorsed Fielding in Dallas or non-HGPC-endorsed Hall in Houstonwill not serve our interests well on city councils in their respective cities. For this to have happened to our gay vote in three Texas cities in the same year indicates that it is a point that needs to be addressed immediately. In spite of all our many victories in the political arena, we cannot allow even one single race to divide us. Clearly, we need to fine tune our political caucuses and how we endorse and conduct ourselves in our campaigns for "our friends." If we don't modify our political handlings of such situations, then the candidates will surely modify it for us, and take our leaders down in unpopularity. PAGE 16 TWT DECEMBER 30. 1983 - JANUARI' 5. 1984 In 1984,we need to make aNew Year's resolution to not allow ourselves to again divide ourselves. Otherwise, we leave ourselves vulnerable to dividing our highly-publicized gay bloc vote. News Story #4 GAY STUDENTS MORE ORGANIZED TEXAS - If there ever was a shortage of top notch leaders in the maturing gay communities of Texas, it was in 1983. That is why the formation of more and more gay student groups on our state college campuses has become so important. For it is true that tomorrow's teachers and leaders are the students of today. From these newly-inspired campus groups, surely more leaders of the gay rights movement shall emerge. In 1983,a landmark meeting was held in Dallas on June 24-25, when 13 different campus organizations from across Texas met for the first time to form the statewide Texas Gay and Lesbian Student Organization Coalition (TGL,SOC). The coalition pledged to keep its promise of helping fledgling gay student organizations form on Texas campuses. TGLSOC also established a task force to deal specifically with relationships between universities and their gay organizations. The latest members to join TGLSOC were the Lambda Christian Fellowship of Brazos County at Texas A&M, and Gays of Angelo State (GAS), which is in the process of seeking recognition by the school. As the old year was ending, the new University of Texas at Arlington Gay/ Lesbian Association was approved as an official campus organization. The vote was 8 to 1 in favor in the easy decision. Approval, however, was still pending at two other state colleges. After seven years, Gay Student Services (GSS) was still awaiting approval by Texas A&M University at College Station. Their case TWT DECEMBER 30. 1983 - JANUARI' 5. 1984 has been batted around in the courts for far too long. Also bogged down in their attempt to become officially recognized was the Gay and Lesbian Support Organization (GLSO) of Southern Methodist University. After three appeals to the Student Senate, the group's highly-publicized case was still pending. College groups among the approved and faculty-annointed included at year's end UT's Gay Student Association of Austin, Gay/Lesbian Association of Denton, Gay Academic Union of North Texas, Lesbian/Gay Resource Services of the University of Houston, Rice Gay/ Lesbian Support Group, and the Gay/ Lesbian Associated Students at Stephen F.Austin College at Nacogdoches. February 5, 1984 will mark the firstyear anniversary of the initial meeting and formation of the statewide TGLSOC, which is acting as a protective umbrella, shielding our campus organizations from legal flak and peer persecution. News Story # 5 STILL NO CURE FOR AIDS TEXAS - TWT NEWS would have liked to have made the AIDS story the top story of the year. But that won't happen until a cure is found. Hopefully, next year, the AIDS health issue can advance to the top of the yearly news report by proclaiming an end to the mystery. Until then, acquired immune deficiency syndrome; hence the acronym AIDS, will continue to be the major health concern of the gay community. If in 1982we came into shock and fear over AIDS, then in 1983 we advanced to come to grips with its ramifications. In 1982, five Texans died of AIDS. In 1983,that many died the first month. Nationwide, nearly 3,000 cases of AIDS have been counted by year's end at the Center for Disease Control. Of that, about 41%-over 1,100-had resulted in death. Fortunately, the fatality rate in Texas has remained much lower. Nationwide, PAGE 17 • • • •• ·EW • Texas has only accounted for less than 5% of all AIDS cases. In 1983, Austin had only two fatalities, San Antonio counted three, Dallas figures indicated about a dozen deaths, and in Houston -the state's highest-the figures were hazy because of delayed reporting, but indicated nearly two dozen deaths. Thus, in Texas, not only was the caseload lighter, the fatality rate also lagged the nationwide statistics, according to 1983 figures. In 1983we also learned that AIDS was not purely an American disease. Thirtytwo other countries have been affected . "It's a global health threat," medical experts now say. Outside of the United States, Western Europe is the hardest hit-especially France and Western Germany. After extensive research, doctors still do not know how AIDS is transmitted from one individual to another. Although various forms of treatment have been successful on over half of the cases, no one single cure-all has yet been found. Texans, probably more than any other people in the nation, have come to grips with AIDS better, by putting the mystery into perspective. Panic has subsided and logic has prevailed. Thanks to the efforts of the AIDS Action Project of the Oak Lawn Counseling Center in Dallas, the SAFE Week Committee of San Antonio, and the KS! AIDS Foundation of Houston, programs for treatment, help, counseling, feeding, transportation, nursing, doctor referral and peer support have been instituted. Such organizations have also been pivotal in raising money for local needs, and lobbying to get more money allocated from city health budgets for research and treatment. Hopefully, 1984 will be the last year doctors will still refer to AIDS as a "mystery killer." Hopefully, in 1984,our prayers will be answered and the cause and cure of AIDS will be reported, putting an end to the disease, once and forever. Happy New Year from TWT NEWS! Texas. ,~, TWT DECEMBER30, 1983 - JANUARY 5, 1984 PAGE 19 ~ --------------BOOKS STUDI 1983'5 B~SlBOOKS by David Fields The books that appear on this list are here for a variety of reasons. Some are simply entertaining, and all good at what they set out to do. One novel is written by a professor of medieval French literature in Mexico City. Books of satire, a gay cookbook (done up just right), books of a personal nature, personal issues and spiritual issues are included. It is difficult to say which is the top book of 1983,because most are samples of the best of a particular subject. Some are books you will not find on the bestseller list because of the explosion of good gay books in the last several years. A list of ten does not begin to suggest the quality, diversity and volume of books available. As I mentioned in one review in the last year, everyone has different standards of what makes a "good" book, and preferences as to what they would like to read. So it is possible your favorite is not among them. There are many "bests," and I have chosen these ten as a sampler, in no particular order. Death Trick by Robert Stevenson-a detective mystery; well-crafted, with witty, intelligent and strong gay characters; good plot. The Gay of Cooking by the Kitchen Fairy-real live recipes and outrageous word play; comprehensive. Southern Discomfort by Rita Mae Brown-the authoress of the bestselling Ruby Fruit Jungle does it again with TWT DECEMBER 30. 1983 - JANUARY 5. 1984 wonderful, warm characters, small town intrigues and the small minds that live there.

Happy New Year! ,,\II, PAGE 41 ~ ~ WQ _____ -----PROFILE DAVID HOUSTON By Dean Malone in Houston along with other places. I make my home in Louisiana because my father is a direct descendant of Sam Houston and my mother is a direct descendant of Robert E. Lee. My people have lived here since 1830. My parents and ourfamily are stilled based here." When asked about his New Year's Eve show in Houston at the Brazos River Bottom, David disclosed, "I'll be doing two forty-five minute sets with the Mustang Band. I think it will be fun. I'll get to do songs I can't sing on the Grand Ole' Opry." When pressured for an example, David replied, "Oh, songs like 'I Gave Her the Ring and She Gave Me the Finger' and 'Big Legged Women Keep Your Dresses Down'. The last line of that song goes, "Cause you got somethin' big mama, make a bulldog love a hound.' Get the picture?" Yes we do! Sounds like a good 01' country time. ,\II?

'" ~ PAGE 44 Artwork © 1977 by Fred Hinton ________ , ----... \UU COVER PROFILE ROOMMATES Growing up in the Sixties and Seventies, I thought roommates were something college students needed in order to move off campus. This was just another stage in "growing up," getting married, and entering the "real world." Then I grew up, my marriage failed, and I found out the "real world" wasn't so simple. After I came out, I realized that roommates could be the alternative to loneliness, and not necessarily a temporary alternative. Being cut off from family who don't/won't understand and coworkers I couldn't confide in, led me to discover that there was life between being single and being married. Finding an ersatz family in friendship and co-habitation may have been a hippy fad of the Sixties, but for gays it has always been a necessary lifestyle. Some of us are loners and some married, but a lot of us find the family we need in roommates. At least we can thank the Sixties forteaching us that adults, male and female, could co-habitate without a total breakdown of morals. Pictured here and on the cover are my three roommates, Chris Alexander (right), Larry Jones, and Fran Davis. Chris is art director at a Medical Center hospital where Larry also works as a press operator in the print shop. Fran is an illustrator for a large corporation; her specialty is operating a computer graphics system. Together we have shared a home for nearly two years, yet we still like each other. Sure, we have our differences, and each of us needs his or her "space" now and then, but this holds true for any family. Only difference I can see is that in our house we have a democracy where we all share decisions and responsibilities (and get cranky with similar equality). I feel lucky to have met friends I feel comfortable sharing my home with; I met them right here in Montrose where we live. To hell with anyone who thinks being 30 and having roommates is weird.

When they catch fire, they can then be seen. &1eteors actually occur at any time of the day or night but they are best observed after midnight when we are standing on the forward side of the 'Earth which is the side into which the meteor showers directly plow.
