Under the city's new arcade ordinance, which went into effect September 6, operators can be fined up to $200 per day if they fail to get a city permit, bringing their stores into compliance with the new law. Police cited 39 adult bookstores for failing to reconstruct their arcades so all peep show booths would be visible to the clerk. Police found 11 peep show arcades had voluntarily closed last Friday, the day the new ordinance became law. An eleventh hour legal move by Saxet Inc., owner of three bookstores, was turned down by U.S. District Judge Ross Sterling. Arcade News, Bellaire News and Doc Johnson's had requested a restraining order to keep officers from enforcing the law. R. David Legg, attorney for Saxet Inc., said he would proceed with the lawsuit, which claims the new ordinance is "an abusive use of police power" with no relationship to the health, safety or welfare of the general public. Legg said the lawsuit was "only the first step. The longer battle remains." Legg added he was to meet again with the bookstores he represents to discuss compliance with the law. One of the original clients, Diners News in Montrose, has dropped out of the lawsuit. Most clerks ticketed think little will come of the ordinance. "The owners of the store will pay my fine," one clerk told TWTNEWS/Houston. Ron Murphy, 21, clerk at the Ballpark, 1830 West Alabama, commented, "To tell you the truth, I don't think much of it." A clerk at Studz News, 1132 West Alabama, added, "They came in and ticketed us this morning and I expect they'll be back again tomorrow." TWT SEPTEMBER 13- SEPTEMBER 19 1985 TARRANT COUNTY GAY ALLIANCE IS FIVE FORT WORTH - The Tarrant County Gay Alliance will celebrate its fifth anniversary of service to the Fort Worth area on Friday the 13th. The event will turn the supersticious date into a lucky day, as "we will have an anniversary celebration at the Other Place Annex, 200 North Vacek," Frank Roper, TCGA board member said. "The Tarrant County gay community is invited for free beer and hors d'oeuvres," he said. "No cover till 10 p.m. will be charged for this event," Roper told TWTNEWS/FortWorth. The celebration will include brief comments by past and present leaders of the TCGA and the community. "But the main purpose is just to have fun and for us to express our thanks for the support we have received," Roper stressed. TCGA held a meeting last Thursday, September 5 to discuss the local response to' the reinstatement of 21.06, the Texas sodomy law. The TCGA-recorded calendar message has been temporarily suspended so that important business relating to the court decision can be handled on (817)336-8242. 24·HOUR AIDS PRAYER VIGIL HOUSTON - The Metropolitan Community Church of the Resurrection has scheduled a 24-hour AIDS Prayer Vigil, to be held this Saturday, September 14, from 9 a.m. through Sunday at 9 a.m., a church spokesman told TWT NEWS/Houston. Members of the community are encouraged to participate in this prayer vigil, along with their sisters and brothers of MCCR, to pray foracure for AIDS. Those interested in participating should call the church at (713)861-9149, to sign up for times they can pray. The vigil will be held in the church sanctuary at 1919 Decatur Street.

Brittain, said. New board members will be elected from Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Southeast Texas and Northeast Texas. "We will have three panel discussion workshops," executive director and senior lobbyist Bettie Naylor said. "Each will deal with items that are of primary interest to bar owners. There are a lot of things that need sharing between bar owners in order to improve business," Naylor told TWT NEWS. The panels will deal with risk management, tax management and community affairs management, Brittain stated. "Our risk management panel will discuss things like insurance and how to manage situations that occur in a bar so they don't become problems and risks," he explained. "Our community affairs panel will discuss Gay Pride Week involvement, AIDS projects and customer relations," he said. "We intend to have follow-up meetings in various cities with guest speakers throughout the year." Naylortold TWTNEWS that it's important to keep BOAT membership up in preparation for the next legislative session. "I intend to spend the coming year visiting each city and seeing each bar personally so I can get to know their problems," Naylor stressed. A registration packet listing the conference agenda will be mailed to all BOAT members this month.

MCCR SELECTING NEW PASTOR HOUSTON - The Metropolitan Community Church of the Resurrection's board of directors, functioning as a Pastor Search Committee, announced its choice for senior pastor this past week. Rev. ElderJohn William Gill of MCC Ft. Lauderdale will be presented to the congregation this Sunday during the morning service at 10:45 a.m., a church spokesman told TWT NEWS/Houston. He will be preaching at both morning and evening services. Rev. Gill has been in Houston since Tuesday evening, meeting with the board of directors, church staff and committee chairpersons of MCCR. Presently senior pastor at MCC Ft. Lauderdale, a position he has held for the past 9V2 years, Rev. Gill has also served MCC Atlanta as pastor for four years, and was director of youth activities in the Westfield Presbyterian Church in Westfield, New Jersey. PAGE 18 Before being chosen as senior pastor of MCCR, Rev. Gill must be voted into that position by the congregation in a special-called congregational meeting, immediately following this Sunday's service. At that time, Rev. Gill must receive an 85 percent positive endorsement. FT. WORTH PRIDE VERY SOLVENT FORT WORTH - Again this year the gay community of Fort Worth can be very proud of its closely-knit Gay Pride community because for the second consecutive year, the committee's funds remain solvent after all expenses have been paid. In financial information made available exclusively to TWT NEws/Fort Worth it was revealed that FWGPW '85 has a balance of $2,334.63, to be used to start next year's Gay Pride Week. Not all cities have money left over. "It's great to see our city's gay pride grow the way it has in the past year," said Buddy Jones. "We have some great things planned for '86." As the committee heads into 1986, new officers were elected at the August 19 meeting: Sharon Huber-re-elected president; David Decker-vice president; George Humphries-treasurer; and Stan Phalp-secretary. CANDIDATE NIGHT AT HOLIDAY INN HOUSTON - This city's Gay Political Caucus set about the task of quizzing the Novembercity election candidates last week in three days of scheduled screening, September 5-7. At the September 4 meeting of HGPC, there was concerned discussion over whether the caucus should bend its rules to endorse candidates who didn't come to the screening but who had remained loyal to human rights in the past. There was quite a floor debate over the issue, Brian Keever of TWT NEWS/Houston reported. TLUT SEPTEMBER 13- SEPTEMBER 19 1985 The issue arose after it was pointed out that some candidates may be gunshy of a gay endorsement since the gay issue lost 4-to-1 at the polls last January. The backlash may produce some political fallout resulting in fewer candidates openly seeking the HGPC endorsement. The next step in the political process is for the screening committee, now headed by Tom Tate, to make its recommendations on Wednesday, September 18at Candidates Night. That's when the candidates in the November city election will speak before the caucus seek· ing the HGPC endorsement. "Candidates Night will be at the HOliday Inn South starting at 7:30 p.m.," HGPC president, Sue Lovell, announced. In other caucus developments, Dale Beverly announced his resignation from the board of directors. It was also noted that Sue DeVaney, longtime caucus member, was moving to Washington D.C. to accept the position of national treasurer of National Organization of Women. LGRA BOARD MEETS IN EL PASO EL PASO - Lesbian/Gay Rights Advocates has scheduled a board meeting in EI Paso on Saturday, September 14. "The meeting is open to the public," LGRA co-chair John Sutton said from his office in EI Paso. There is no registration fee forthe allday session, said Sutton. The conference will start at 12:30 p.m. at MCC church, 2201 Mills Avenue. "Later that evening, EI Paso de Norte business alliance, the local memberof LGRA, will sponsor a reception to honor LGRA board members at the residence of 1836 East Cliff," Sutton said. The meeting will address the longterm goals and objectives of the gay rights lobby group in Texas. "It'll be a planning conference," he explained. LGRA lobbyist Shelia Cheaney said, in an exclusive interview with TWT NEWS/Austin, that one of the main POints will be the August 26 reversal on TLUT SEPTEMBER 13- SEPTEMBER 19 1985 21.06. "Since all gay men and lesbians are now once again criminals, the fundamentalists in Texas are going to read this as a green light," she said. The other co-chair, Pat Cramer, agreed. "Whatever happens at the Supreme Court level will have a momentus effect on what we can expect in the next legislative session." BAPTIST PASTOR RESIGNS IN WACO WACO - Local residents were stunned last week by the resignation of the Rev. Don Crossland. 45, from the 2,200-member Highland Baptist Church after an emotional Sunday night worship service during which he confessed he had been having homosexual affairs for several years. Two of the affairs were with male members of the congregation, he announced to the congregation. But church members and neighbors of the pastor in this heavily Baptist city dominated by Baylor University ex· pressed only good will toward a man who led his congregation to rapid growth. He is to be commended for being brave coming out, said one member. Crossland had been pastor of Highland, Waco's third largest Southern Baptist Church, since 1974. The struqgle with his homosexual inclinations began more than seven years ago when church officials discovered he had had an affair with a man. Church leaders learned recently of a young man who came to them and said he had had an affair with Crossland. Talking to this man and another one, leaders learned Crossland had an affair that began 2V2 years ago and a second affaironly last month. Both young men decided to confess after getting counseling. Crossland was summoned to a meeting with leaders of the deacons, where he confirmed the men's stories and resigned. Crossland formally told the congregation of his decision and his homosexuality Sunday. \\II?

And PLEASE keep your letters short. The Norm? Dear TWT: Once again the gay citizens of Houston find themselves misrepresented by an extreme individual in the political scene. I am referring to the Aug. 30 edition of TWT [Vol. 11, No. 23] where I read Don Sanders' plans to run for mayor of Houston. We know as a community that when Mr. Sanders announces his plans for a platform of atheism and pornography, the media will cluster around him, spinning their "Inquirer-like" headlines, and the reputation of average gays and lesbians will suffer another setback. While I support Sanders' right to freedom of expression and religion, I also take the opportunity to express my outrage that this off-the-wall plan for a political career will surely do more harm than good. I think gays and lesbians, for the most part, are tired of extremists being considered the norm for us. David W. Lewis Houston, Texas Buy One Pair Slacks And Get 20% OFF On A Sweater Or Shirt OF Your Choice [Sale Items Excluded) Dear TWT: In regards to the proposed announcement of Don Sanders (gay atheist) for mayor of Houston, may I say: Don suggests that an atheist platform will show he is representative of "freedom of thought." This line of reasoning could be used by anyone with a particular point of view to push. Being an atheist certainly does not give one a corner on freedom of thought. Secondly, Don claims that his position as a "part of the multi-billion pornography industry" puts him in a wonderful position to do battle with religious fundamentalists and censors. Battle is not what we need, Don. We could use some constructive, thoughtful leaders (gay or straight) who have at heart the interest of all people that they represent, not just a narrow constituency. Don, what you are is the issue here and YOU have made it the issue. You are not BASIC BROTHERS 1220 WESTHEIMER HOUSTON [713J 522-1626 SPORTSWEAR/COSTUMES PAGE 20 TWT SEPTEMBER 13- SEPTEMBER saying that your election is important because you have answers to the necessary issues of life in Houston. You are saying, "Elect a gay, atheistic, pornographer so that I can tell off these jerks who are getting in the way of what I want to do and be." This may be your personal crusade, and I wish you great luck in achieving your personal goals in life; however, I just wish you wouldn't do it on a mayoral soapbox in front of glaring TV cameras and say that you represent any of us! You don't. Curtis Morrow Dallas, Texas "1 Told You So!" Dear TWT: ' I want to thank all of my gay brothers and sisters who voted for Reagan for giving me this opportunity to say-"I told you so." We all know by now that six of the nine judges who voted to uphold 21.06 were Reagan appointees. Sorry about that, gay Republicans. It's so hard to get any tears from this diehard, 100 percent Democrat. ... I remember trying to push Mondale bumper stickers in gay bars and gay establishments and many times getting hostile reactions from gay people.

Thanks for the opportunity to speak out. Hap Veltman The Bonham Exchange San Antonio, Texas Dallas Diversity Editor- The following letter was written in response to Bill Nelson's (president, Dallas Gay Alliance) editorial in Dialog (DGA's monthly newsletter). The editorial related to the community meeting with city councilpersons Lori Palmer and Craig Holcomb, which took place on August 22 at Oak Lawn Library, DearTWT: I also attended the Thursday, August 22 meeting, I must have attended a different meeting than you, or perhaps you didn't listen to the people as they introduced themselves, I thought the 50 to 60 people who attended represented a cross section of the gay community. As officers in the different organizations, I assume they are elected by their membership, not selfappointed as you noted. Yes, unfortunately there were some organizations not represented; but as some organizations only meet once or twice a month, perhaps they had no time TWT SEPTEMBER 13- SEPTEMBER to receive or react to the invitation. And yes I think we all can honestly say no one group or person represents, as you have stated, our diverse community. If this group of people did not show the diversity of our community, you must be dealing with a different community than I am. Yes, I also hope the next meeting and any other future meetings include even more representatives from all groups . Yes, we should all put aside personal agendas, not just use the line as rhetoric, I also believe that those attending the gathering were very forthright and honest; otherwise, most would not have been around as long as they have been. As far as the issue of the city ordinance was concerned, I believe most if not all, expressed support for the idea of an ordinance, A concern was a division of resources, As far as concrete suggestions, I for one thought the approach of an ordinance against discrimination against people with AIDS as Los Angeles has done was a positive approach, Mr. Holcomb and Ms. Palmer are to be commended, and I for one look forward to future meetings as more & more positive input is made, Richard Rogers Dallas, Texas Protect Ourselves Dear TWT: As a newcomer to Dallas from Oklahoma City, I was shocked to read recently of numerous anti-gay attacks and muggings near our bars. I had thought a larger city such as Dallas would have established safeguards against such attacks. As a victim of such an attack in OKC, may I suggest that local bar and business owners follow the example of OKC's businessmen, Hire security officers to patrol the areas with a high concentration of gay clubs, Or, in lieu of that, form a gay patrol with volunteers experienced in martial arts or self-defense, Publicize these steps in the "straight" news media, and erect signs and posters advising potential assailants that we as a community will protect our persons and property with force, if necessary. If we do not protect ourselves and obtain the respect of our enemies, things will only get worse. Kim P. Olson Dallas, Texas '1V.t 19 1985 PAGE 23 \1tQ HEALTH "I WANT TO GIVE OTHERS HOPE" PERSON WITH AIDS ENTERS "SUPERMAN" FIFTH IN A SERIES OF ROAD-TO-RECOVERY Louie Nassaney, a person with AIDS (PWA), was sponsored by AIDS Project Los Angeles lor the "Superman '86" contest which was held September 7 at the Hollywood Palladium. Louie Nassaney, diagnosed as having AIDS over two years ago, is an atypical person with AIDS. He has been in remission for one year, and is the proverbial "picture of health." So good is his health and emotional condition that the AIDS Project Los Angeles decided to sponsor him in the "Superman '86" contest held last Saturday, September 7 in West Hollywood at the Hollywood Palladium. Nassaney has a well-developed physique and deep tan, and although he does not resemble Clark Kent, he was certainly a strong contender forthe contest. "Superman '86" was a local "beauty pageant" for males, involving a bathing suit, blue jeans and interview competition. TWT SEPTEMBEA 13- SEPTEMBEA 19 1985 CONTEST STORIES "I used to look awful," admits Nassaney, who professes to have been underweight and has a small scar on his leg where a lesion used to be. "After I was first diagnosed, I realized I had to make a drastic change in my Ijfe. I started eating better, getting more rest, and opened up to my parents ... I told them that I was gay and that I had AIDS the same day. That was traumatic forthem, but they came to my support. So did my friends. And two years later, I'm doing really well." "Louie's case is rare, but it certainly provides hope for other persons with AIDS," says Bill Misenhimer, executive director of the AIDS Project Los Angeles. "Positive thinking and sheer will power seemed to have played a major part in his remission." As there is neither a cure nor a vaccine, Nassaney has sought, as have many others, to find treatment outside the orthodox medical establishment. Nassaney attributes his near-miraculous recovery to metaphysical therapy, which relies on the premise that positive, supportive and healing thoughts boost the immune system. "My metaphysical therapy has given me such a sense of well-being that I am convinced this is what has saved me. I certainly would recommend therapy to anybody, although no one can promise that it will work for a specific person. All I know is that it has worked for me. "My purpose in entering the Superman contest was to show others what a person with AIDS can achieve, or for that matter, anybody with a serious health problem. I want to give others hope," he said.

Tli~ PIC TU(fc OF DORIAN 6AY No doubt most of us are familiar with Oscar Wilde's classic tale of Dorian Gray. The story deals with the darke side of man's nature, and disproves th adage, it's what's up front that counts In Dorian's case, what you saw was no really what you got. Old Dorian had "special" picture of himself. A paintin that he kept locked away. He had mad a rather nasty bargain with the devil. H would stay young and pretty, while th portrait got old, ugly, and monstrous The portrait, you see, reflected Dor TWT SEPTEMBER 13- SEPTEMBER 19 198~ KALEIDOSCOPE bu David V. Meunier ian's true personality, and it just wasn't pretty. In the end, time ran out for Dorian, and as these things tend to happen, it all caught up with him. Dorian became a burn-out. Too much excess of everything. The picture was restored showing a young, handsome Dorian, and Dorian ... well, he ended up looking like a bad acid trip. Ah, but you ask, is there a lesson here for today's modern gay man? I'm glad you asked, because it was my desire to find out if there was a correlation here. Is there such a thing as the Dorian Gay type? However, not having the expertise myself to delve into such weighty matters, I realized I must seek professional help. Through friends I was able to learn of-C.R.O.T.C.H. (Cruise Research Organization To Change Habits), a special government agency located in a large Texas city. Because of the delicate nature of the organization's work, we won't specify their exact location. Using some of my connections, I was able to place a call and speak at some length with Dr. Bancroft Basket. Dr. Basket is the director of the organization and a world renowned author. If you haven't read his book, View From a Bar, you simply must obtain a copy. It's rapidly becoming the Bible of the cruise crowd. It examines in great detail some of the issues that have plagued gay men since the beginning of time. It is especially appropriate in this age of liberatlon where cruising has become an art form. For example, chapter three explores such vital questions as: Why do vou only see hot men as you are leavIng or entering a bar, but never inside? Why is it when you are with your parents, straight co-workers, or a real woman, someone attractive decides to cruise you? etc. Anyway, Dr. Basket graciOUSlyinvited me out to the institute for a tour and a chance to pursue my question. He def- TUiT SEPTEMBER 13- SEPTEMBER 19 1985 initely assured me there is a Dorian Gay type. At the last moment I asked my friends Denny and Beau to accompany me. I was a little nervous going alone and thought the exposure to science would do them good. I drove, and Danny played navigator. Beau passed the time winking at cute men at red lights. "This is it!" Denny yelled, pointing to a 24-hour donut shop. "It can't be," muttered Beau, "it looks like a Winchell's." I, however, was not fooled. I really hadn't expected a huge flashing neon sign proclaiming "CROTCH." "Don't worry," I said. "This is a top secret government organization. Naturally they would operate through a front. Besides, I'm starving. Let's go check it out." Sure enough, the minute I mentioned Dr. Basket's name to the counter girl, she dropped a tray of donuts on the floor and led us through the kitchen to an elevator door. "I hope she's not gonna try and sell those donuts," Denny whispered, as the door clanged shut behind us. Somewhere, in the bowels of the earth, we disembarked and were met by a tall, thin, blonde woman, who explained she was Dr. Basket's assistant, Penelope. "The doctor is expecting you," she smiled, "and will be with you momentarily. Would you care for a donut while you wait? We get a great deal on dayold products," Penelope informed us as she passed a tray beneath our noses. Not wanting to be rude, we each took several. In no time we were ushered into Dr. Basket's study. He was a jollylooking, heavyset man with a bushy beard. As he introduced himself, he wiped the lenses of his glasses on his tie. He informed us that in orderto save time he had prepared a film that would get right to the heart of the matter. PRGE 3S Iwant to stop crying. Do you feel you're constantly "on the verge"?

"What you will see today will at first appear to be your typical bar scene, but, instead of dweling on a handsome hunk's exterior, we will actually go inside and see what conditions are like there. This is all simulated of course," he beamed. "Kinda like Fantastic Voyage?" I inquired. "Precisely", he nodded. While Denny and Beau were fighting over who would play the Raquel Welch part, the film began. We were in a bar that looked suspiciously like the one I was in Saturday night. The camera panned a row of men and zeroed in on one hot number. "Wow!" Beau exclaimed "What a basket!" "Yes?" Dr. Basket said, turning to Beau. "He said fantastic," I smiled, and kicked Beau in the shin. "Well, you won't think so in a moment. Let's take a look inside," Dr. Basket said, as we found ourselves in a long dark tunnel. "Now, we'll start at the top. This is the brain." "It looks like the cheese factory we toured in Vermont last summer," I gasped. "Yes, this man has apparently used acid to excess, and drinks quite heavily, so the brain resembles Swiss cheese. Millions of brain cells have died, and at the rate he's going, Arlington National Cemetery won't be able to hold a candie to him," Dr. Basket chuckled. "Now let's have a look at the lungs." I experienced a sinking sensation. We sat in stunned silence as Dr. Basket POinted out formations not unlike the LaBrea tar pits. "Tsk, tsk, obviously a heavy smoker," Dr. Basket commented, as I tried to push my Benson and Hedges further down into my shirt pocket. "It's probably a combination of marijuana and cigarettes ... ," the doctor was saying when Denny interrupted. "Ugh! What are those other gross TWT SEPTEMBER 13- SEPTEMBER 19 1985 spots?" "Oh, those? ... possibly due to poppers .... " "Poppers!" Beau screamed and threw his bottle of Rapid-Rush across the room where it landed in a cage of white mice, killing three on impact. As Penelope frantically tried mouth-tomouth resuscitation on the surviving mice, we proceeded on to the liver. "Now, that scar tissue shows us this man has had hepatitis, and of course his drinking hasn't helped. Let's tour the colon and the rectum," Dr. Basket announced pleasantly. I will not inflict you with the visual horrors we witnessed next. Sufficient to say, Denny threw up and Beau passed out. When the lights came back on, Dr. Basket began to summarize. "So you see, gentlemen, there is a classic Dorian Gay type. Many gay men appear healthy to the untrained eye, but, in reality, they have abused their bodies to the point that it is only a matter of time before they will have serious and perhaps life-threatening medical problems. The body's immunity system just cannot withstand a constant barrage against it." "But ... but ... but what can we do?" I stammered. "The very things CROTCH stands for. Learn to change your habits. Better nutrition, exercise, moderation in alcohol and other substances, for example." We spent many more hours at C.R.O.T.C.H.learning how to be healthy homosexuals. Believe me, it was a somber trio on the drive home. "That was pretty heavy," Denny said, breaking the silence. "I'll say" was all I could say. "Boy! I could use a good stiff drink," Beau exclaimed from the back seat. "Good idea!" We all shouted, and headed towards our favorite bar. Oh well, old habits die hard, but better your habits should die than you. So take a few minutes now and then to analyze whether you're painting a "special" picture like old Dorian Gray. I can guarantee you ... it won't be pretty.\\W PAGE 37 ONLY 30 \\9jj -----_BOOKS orrah ;j'lllf!Jf ."l,!i!'~T;'il' Rise of 1'···· .' r~ , :( r ! bphobia Did you know that for only $30 you can belong to FITNESS EXCHANGE?

A large part of his other works have been on the cultural history and references to homosexuality up through modern times. This latest book, Gomorrah & the Rise of Homophobia, charts the sources of ignorance, hate and intolerance that give rise to the virulent bigotry and anti-intellectualism of today. H is other book, about Sodom and Gomorrah, focused on the origin of religion's distortion of the original Biblical scriptures written in Greek. This book focuses on the attitudes of the day as they changed during the rise of ChrlstiTWT SEPTEMBER 13- SEPTEMBER 19 1985 anity and the fall of the Roman Empire .. The main sources of intolerance were from the embattled Jewish tribes and the early Christian religionists, but curiously, not from Jesus Christ or his direct disciples. Very clearly the Jews had to reproduce and enlarge their group or be conquered. Moreover, they had to set themselves apart and distinguish themselves from other multi-theistic or pagan religions. All the other religions were more populous and took no notice of sex between men. As Rome began to decline, and people began to look for scapegoats, the early Christian religion took the lead in persecuting persons who had homosexual affairs out of lust. Though homosexual marriages and weddings were still held, based on love and not lust, even this did not deter the hatemongers. Through this section of the book, Ide carefully draws parallels to modern day fundamentalism represented by Jerry Falwell. The economic conditions of Rome at the time were not too dissimilar to our present-day situaPRGE 39 tlon. The seeds of homophobia are thriving today as they thrived then. Those seeds were formed by the extreme zenophobla (fear of foreigners) and misogyny (discounting and denigration of women). New ideas brought by strangers were not tolerated; anything that smacked of a woman's form or position was immediately condemned. Two men together automatically meant "pagan" and/or one of the "men" had to be a woman. Those same Ignorant attitudes have lasted down through the centuries, propelled and preserved by the Bible. That Jesus Christ said nothing against the sex between men is ignored. Institutionalized religion and its keepers, "Christ"-Ians, have been shown to defy Christ's teachings and His tolerance and all-embracing love. Ide's book is not technical. There is little or no Greek stanzas to slow the pace of the book. If people are to preserve the freedoms the Christians plan to eradicate, people must learn the lessons of history and act. This is what Ide's book inspires the reader to do, with his calm, reasoned prose. Gomorrah & the Rise of Homophobia contains copious notes, references and an index, completely documenting Ide's work. His is a scholarly work, yet one which touches our emotions and our concerns.

"Midnight Radio" by Taffy on Ibiza Records, Italy (122 bpm). Although the label titles the song "Midnight Radio," the cover reads 'I Love My Radio." Very hot! The keyboard arrangements are outstanding-complex classic Italian synth sound. The special effects are exciting and imaginative. The rhythm programming has a smooth, consistent energy. The B-side is an instrumental dub-mix "Rough" version. The additional guitar tracks give this mix a more "rock" feeling. "Stop This Rumor," backed with "The Alphabet" by Spelt Like This, on EMI Records, U.K. "Stop This Rumor" (148 bpm) is exciting Hi-NRG Dance with a British new-rock flavor. Many of the rhythm phrases sound like "Premonition" by Bonnie Pointer. The B-side, "The Alphabet" (126bpm), sounds rhythmically like several of the Frankie Goes to Hollywood releases. The haunting melody reminds me of the classic "Living on the Ceiling" by Blancmange (which was just re-released in remix form as the B-side of their latest single, "What's Your Problem," which, by the way, is very good!

"Jolene" by Strawberry Switchblade, on KorovalWEA Records, U.K. (127 bpm). Too hot! This is a Euro-dance remake of the Dolly Parton country classic.

Undoubtedly the best release from this group yet. "007" by The Bondettes, On Sound Shop Records, Germany(141 bpm). This cut sounds like a take-off on the classic Lime cut "Your Love," but has a rhythm very similarto "High Sex Drive" by Dolmann. This is Hi-NRG dance music all the way. The rhythm programming is very exciting-guaranteed to please even the most discriminating dance floor. With the right promotion and availability, this cut could be a huge hit. And finally, one of the hottest dance albums of the year, The Greatest Hits by lime, on Unidisk Records, Canada, features seven of Lime's greatest hits, all completely remixed. Fantastic!

KISS O~ TW~SPID~~ WOMAN Reviewed by Harry Deutsch Queen of Hearts This is one of those rare films you'll take with you after you leave the theater. Kiss of the Spider Woman is composed of a variety of stirring, deeply moving moments. There is some of the touching tenderness we found in Bent; it has the power to make us feel uncomfortable, like a Dog Day Afternoon; and there are the brutal harshness and human frustrations of a Midnight Express. In short, this is a powerhouse of emotions and controversies brought across and made real by an exceptional cast of players. Or, if I were to describe this effort by Brazilian director Hector Babenco in one word only, I'd opt for brilliant. William Hurt is Molina, a fairly flamboyant homosexual who occupies a Suite in the slammer of some South American country for impairing the morals of a minor. He shares his crudeIYdecorated surroundings with Valentin Arregui (Raul Julia) whose crimes are of the political kind. The two cellmates _________________________ -:;T;;-;W:;;T:-;s;;E:;;PT~E;:M;;;B;<;ER;;-;;13L-~S'"EPPiTr.:E;:;M~BE"iiR;-:1109:-;11 rUJT SEPTEMBER 13- SEPTEMBER 19 1985 could not be further apart in their previous lifestyles and convictions. Most of the two-hour action takes place just within that one-room confinement. Boring, you think? Think again. Frequent clashes are inevitable, raw emotions and naked sensitivities are bound to explode until human kindness is the only healing there is. This is a thrilling movie chess game. Largely responsible is Manuel Puig, an acclaimed Latin American author who wrote the original Spider novel, which contains dialogue only. Notable directors such as Fassbinder had sought his OK to film some of his works, and after this melodramatic tourde force, we get the picture as to why all this interest. Molina is something of a B-movie buff. To pass the time and ease the hardships he starts describing his favorite atrocious flick, scene by scene and in luscious detail. The fact that it's an obvious wartime Nazi propaganda piece doesn't faze Molina in the least; he's more concerned with the way his heroine dresses and, above all, the blond good looks of the Hitlerian hero. When PAGE 47 Valentin points out how political and sexual deviants were treated in the clutch of the Reich, Molina replies, "I don't explain my movies; it ruins the emotion." At the risk of ruining your emotion, be forewarned that MOlinaexplains himself as the stereotypical woman in a man's body. He shrugs off the minor detail that there's something between his legs. "It's just an accident. If I had the courage I'd cut it off." He's looking for a real man, yet is convinced that a real man would never get involved with someone like him. So he plays the "woman" role with varying degrees of confidence. Meanwhile, the decidedly more macho Valentin starts preaching to his prison partner not to let anyone ever degrade him. He learns from Molina that the power of imagination can overcome tribulation. The Spider chess game involves many more intricacies, including a queen sacrifice and the king's conditional rescue, but going into detail here would only destroy much of the drama. Mr. Hurt in his role won the best actor prize at Cannes this year; he deserves to be a prominent Oscar contender as well. His portrayal is flawless, moving and always honest to his character. Mr. Julia is excellent as a man of unfaltering political beliefs whose world is a world apart to that of his cell mate. Brazilian actress Sonia Braga has three parts to act out. She is particularly convincing and rightfully overacts, though lacking the proper accent, as the French B-chanteuse who is melodramatically drawn by the Fuehrer's philosophies. The film fantasies that are interwoven have a mysterious look and perfectly illustrate the oasis quality of the inmates' mindgames. Mr. Babenco, in his first attempt to go after the American market directly, found a theme of genuine love and integrity. The verdict: I absolutely loved it (9out of 10). '-\liT ~ , SHOWBIZ_ ~ by Jack Varsi , FarmAid-(/ to r) Lou Reed, Jonl Mitchell, Rickie Lee Jones. MERRY MELODIES-Can you imagine Joni Mitchell, Rickie Lee Jones and Lou Reed singing for American farmers? I mean, has Lou Reed ever even seen a silo? Well maybe it isn't that strange, because in addition to the somewhat urbane likes of Joni, Rickie and good 01' Lou we'll get to see a few dozen other music greats during the upcoming "FarmAid" concert to be held at the University of Illinois on September 22. Organized by (who else?) Willie Nelson, the 12-hourfundraiserfor American farmers will be televised live by cable's Nashville Network and should generate much of the same kind of excitement that surrounded this summer's "Live Aid" extravaganza. Among the numerous expected guests: Loret· ta Lynn, Charlie Pride, Lacy J. Dalton, Alabama, the Charlie Daniels Band, Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, Neil Young, Kenny Rogers, the Beach Boys, and everyone else's grandmother .... Still another staggering line-up was assembled for an anti-apartheid record called "Sun City," which is intended as a protest against those artists who have performed at the South African resort. This project was masterminded by Little Steven (a Springsteen crony) and features contributions from such artists as Pat Benatar, Jackson Browne, Jimmy Cliff, Nona Hendryx, George Clinton, Bonnie Raitt, Darlene Love, David RuffinL Eddie Kendricks, Bono (of U2), Joey Ramone (of the Ramones), and, you guessed it, Lou Reed.... Fans of Stephen Son· dheim musicals have bitched for years over the fact that there has never been a complete recording of the score for Follies, Sondheim's rather underrated 1971 musical. Those fans can now rejoice, or riot, or do whatever they want to do to celebrate RCA Red Seal's recently recorded "concert performance" of the Show, which, incidentally, took place September 6 and 7 in New York at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall. Now, our friend Lou Reed will definitely not be a part of the deluxe $19.95recording, but you will get to hear the New York Philharmonic Orchestra backing such voices as Carol Burnett, Mandy Patinkin, Elaine Stritch, Betty Comden, Adolph Green, George Hearn, Lee Remick, Liz Calloway and Arthur Rubin.... Lee Remick??? .. On their new Live at the Apollo Album, Hall & Oates revive their original version of "Everytime You Go Away" -a song that recently hit No. 1 for Paul Young. Former Temptations David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks (who know a thing or two about the legendary Apollo) also turn up on the album .... Diana Ross gets some help from Michael Jackson and Bee Gees on her new album Eaten Alive.... Stevie Wonder's new In Square Circle set is his first studio album in almost five years .... Kenny Rogers worked with ex-BeatJes producer George Martin on his new album The Heart of the Matter .... Jane Wiedlln becomes the first ex-Go·Go to release a solo album-it's called Jane Wiedlin ... With her new single, "Running Up That Hill," Britain's Kate Bush may finally break big on this side of the Atlantic .... Out of San Francisco comes (20 years after psychedelia) another new musical movement. It's called "World Beat" and among its purveyors are such bands as the looters, Big City, and Zulu Spear. (Maybe Lou Reed and Lee Remick could do a duet with Zulu Spear backing them.)... And for the desperate there's the Village People'S new single "Sex on the Phone." It has already hit in Florida. Where else? RAMBLING ROSE-Christmas is TlUT SEPTEMBER 13- SEPTEMBER 19 1985 coming up in just a few months, you know, and I'm sure that there must be at least one hateful person on your holiday gift list. Don't worry about shopping-October's schedule for videocassette releases provides us with an opportunity we'd be fools to pass up. Give all the jerks you know a tape called The Dr. Ruth Video: Terrific Sex. It'll sell for $39.98, and, believe it or don't, the thing features a "simulated therapy session," whatever-the-hell that is. On the other hand, you might hold out for Breakdancin' With Mother Theresa. (Just kidding.) ... This is pretty frightening too: Frankie Valli is a guest star on one of the new Miami Vice episodes. . ... Remember Evelyn Keyes, who played Scarlett's bitchy sister in 1939's Gone With the Wind? Well, word has it that Evelyn (aka Suellen) is writing a screenplay based on her 1971novel I Am a Billboard. I didn't even know she'd written a novel. What's more, Tab Hunter is producing the movie .... Col. leen Dewhurst and Richard Farns. worth are in a 4-hour Canadian miniseries based on Anne of Green Gables-which might not mean shit to you, but that happens to be my favorite brat book .... Fever Pitch, the new Ryan O'Neal film directed by Richard Brooks, features music by Quincy Jones and Thomas Dolby .... Remember George Chakiris, who won an Oscar for his supporting role in the 1961film West Side Stoiy? He's set for a few appearances on Dallas this season .... A made-for-TVmovie you can look forward to sometime next season: Stone Pillow, starring Lucille Ball in a realistic portrayal of a bag lady living on the streets of Manhattan .... And still another reason to like Grace Jones: After contributing some vocals to a recording by still another Duran Duran spin-off group, she reportedly donated her fees to the AIDS Medical Foundation. ~ PAGE 51 \WU 1I()/IJ$fltlAt$ should be judged as Individuals (i-r)Jimmy (video), John (lights), and Gaylan (sound) of The Delman in Dallas wIth Claudia Barry.

"I think it's part of theatre's job to address these issues." Some of the best theatre in history has been issue-oriented, and the current AIDS crisis has brought about not only good theatre, but an active response from members of the entertainment community at large-an effort to step in and help raise dollars as well as consciousness to battle a politically unpopular disease. So far in Texas, it has mostly been the gay community theatres that have tried to put an emphasis on the crisis by committing much of their energy into fundraising for various AIDS organizations. Diversity Theater in Houston, Theatre Gemini in Dallas and, certainly, the Safe Sex Players in Austin have all participated in using their theatrical talents to get people to open their pocketbooks. But, as Human Rights Fund Co-chair Vivian Shapiro recently said, "The amount of work done by the lesbian and gay community has been overwhelming, but only the federal government has the resources to combat this devastating disease." And the federal government has been sluggish, to say the least, in manning the troops for a war against AIDS and PAGE 58 ARC. Playwright William M. Hoffman, whose play about a PWA (Person With AIDS) is currently on Broadway, said in an article in The New York Times that "during the polio epidemic, as during the Tylenol and Legionnaire's Disease scares, the media and the government committed themselves wholeheartedly to the side of the victims. In the early eighties, with few exceptions, the main concern of people outside of the gay community was reassuring themselves that it was only happening to 'them,' and not 'us.' I felt isolated from society in a way I had never felt before." While Hoffman's As Is is playing on Broadway, Larry Kramer's The Normal Heart is showing at the Public Theatre. Kramer was a founder of the Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC) in New York, but he was unhappy with that organization's low-key strategies in dealing with the city government, so he left. Still, according to an insert in the Normal Heart program written by Rodger McFarlane, executive directorof GMHC, the organization and Kramer do not dlsagree on the facts surrounding the crisis. Said McFarlane, "What has gone on in Washington, at the National Institutes of Health, and the Department of Health and Human Services, and at the Centers for Disease Control throughout this epidemic is a subject worthy of the investi· TWT SEPTEMBER 13- SEPTEMBER 19 1985 gative talents of Woodward and Bernstein. Like Love Canal or Three Mile Island or Superfund, the economic priorities of AIDS have been pitted directly against the Interests of public health. The sloth of federal bureaucracy and the ruthlessness of political agenda have combined for particularly sinister effect." So, what has happened in the past in response to major issues is happening now: Activists are turning to theatre to express their views, while theatrical people are becoming activists. The AIDS Medical Foundation (AMF) has a national council that includes Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Woody AlIen, Michael Bennett, Leonard Bernstein, Tommy Tune, Alan King, Marilyn Horne and Arthur Miller. And performers are giving not only their names and their time to the cause; they are giving their talents. "Comic Relief" raised over $300,000 for AMF this past May 19,at the Shubert Theatre. Produced by Lorne Michaels and cochaired by Bemard B. Jacobs, Gerald Schoenfeld and Joseph Papp, the show featured Mike Nichols and Elaine May, Joan Rivers, Steve Martin, Gregory Hines, Randy Newman, Phil Donahue, Penny Marshall, Neil Simon, Penn & Teller, The Weather Girls and the Sacred Heart Gospel Choir. In July, the Fire Island Pines Benefit Committee, co-chaired by Ron English and John Whyte, raised $200,000 for AMF with the help of Peter Allen, Ellen Foley, Dorothy Loudon, Gotham and Anne Meara. Said Allen, "Everybody has to do something. The public must be galvanized so that more dollars are put immediately into research and care to stop this terrible loss of human potential. Everybody is at risk unless more money is raised." But, as great as those figures are, they are only a drop in a very large bucket-a bucket that should be filled by our government. In response to the urgent need for federal funding for research and patient care, the AIDS Campaign Trust (ACT) was formed as an arm of the Human Rights Campaign Fund committed to helping elect members of the House and Senate who will actively work to obtain full funding of the AIDS-related needs of the nation. Marty and Marylea Richards, producers of La Cage Aux Folies, hosted the kickoff of ACT last month. The benefit committee included Edward Albee, Craig Claiborne, Betty Comden, Jerry Herman, George Plimpton, Lanford Wilson and AMF director Dr. Mathilde Krim. ACT will hold fundraising dinners this fall in New York, Boston, Washington, San Francisco and Dallas. For information, write: ACT, clo Human Rights Campaign Fund, P.O.

'-IJIT PAGE 59 LANCE INTERVIEW BLASE DISTEFANO PHOTOGRAPHS CARL DA VIS Barbie and Ken (and Ken),paper dolls, comics, Tom Selleck and the color pink-these are the passions of Lance Rayburn. Lance arrived for the interview and photo session wearing what you see on TWT'scover this week. But I doubt the printing has done him (or his rainbow of colors) justice-his socks are chartreuse; his sneakers are bright pink, which match the band-aid on his left arm and the button above Tom Selleck's head; and his glasses are tinted-what else-pink. He "painted" the flowers and Tom Selleck on his shirt with magic markers. I began the interview by asking him when this magic began. LANCE - I drew a picture of my mother when I was 2 years old, and I put "I advertise in the Barbie newsletter-WANTED: Ken Underwear. I mean, vou teeth and fingers on it, and she kept it.

His grandfather was a railroad stationmaster, who greeted Elvis Presley, Humphrey Bogart and others when they came into Ft. Worth. His grandfather's secretary was Lance's mother. And they were always bringing comics home, one of which was Boots and Her Buddies, which had a paper doll. "Later," he said, "I fell in, love with Brenda Starr, but Mary Perkins is my favorite, and Juliet Jones .... At one time when I was in college, I was taking in nine newspapers on weekdays; then on Sundays, I would really go wild. I would cut out the comics and file them. But I have '79 to present still uncut laying flat in a stack about up to my navel, wherever that is."
