The gay and lesbian vote, in Georgia and across the United States, was critical to key wins and losses on election day KC WILDMOON Atlanta—It's over. Election '92 is history. In Washington, the Republican administration is packing to leave and updating resumes. In Little Rock, Gov. Bill Clinton prepares to move to east And across the country gays and lesbians are analyzing the results, looking at what was won, and what was lost, in what is considered by many the most important election season of the century for the lesbian/gay community. National and local leaders of the community wasted no time praising Clinton's victory, and the role played by lesbians and gays in it. "This year we formed a crucial voting bloc and helped elect a new President," said National Gay and Lesbian Task Force director Urvashi Vaid. "We defeated the extremist Right's attempt to use anti-gay bigotry to hijack a national election. For the first time in history, gay men and lesbians will serve as full and equal partners in the governing of our country." Human Rights Campaign Fund executive director Tim McFeeley echoed Vaid. "This is a great day for lesbian and gay Americans, and a great victory of all Americans," he said. "The election of our lives is over. Governor Clinton's victory, along with those of a record number of prolesbian and gay candidates for Congress, indicate that we have taken a major step forward in the fight for fairness. Now the hard part begins." Gays and lesbians expect now to hold Clinton to his promises of dropping the military ban of homosexuals, appointing an AIDS czar, and support of the lesbian/gay civil rights bill. The difference in Georgia Gays and lesbians played a major part in many campaigns across the country, including Georgia. "In case anybody doubts it, we gave Clinton the margin of victory in Georgia," Don George, HRCF's field coordinator here, said, noting that Clinton's margin of victory was less than 20,000 votes. "When you look at the states around us—South Carolina, North Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, that all went for Bush— what's the difference? The strong gay and lesbian community." Gays and lesbians rallied around gay-supportive candidates in Georgia, including Reps. John Lewis and Cynthia McKinney, Fulton County Sheriff Jackie Barrett, and Clinton, in record numbers, providing volunteers and money to the campaigns. "We were the main source of volunteers, with the unions, for the DeKalb Democratic Party for the entire election," said Cathy Woolard, an HRCF lobbyist and former Atlantan who came back to Georgia to help with the campaign. "In the last two weeks of the campaign, we had to turn people away because we literally had nothing for them to do that wasn't already being done." Gays and lesbians provided over 300 volunteers for the Democratic Party, and nearly $35,000. Nationwide, gays and lesbians filled Democratic coffers with nearly $5 million, helping to elect Clinton, and gaysupportive Congress members like Barbara Boxer in California, Carol Mosely Braun in Illinois, and Pat Schroeder and Ben Nighthorse Campbell in Colorado. What about Wyche? But the withholding of gay support brought some surprises as well. Many believe that Sen. Wyche Fowler was forced into a runoff with challenger Paul Coverdell by the lesbian and gay community, working in concert with women's groups. "He forgot his constituency," said Don George. "We showed our strength." Gay and lesbian groups were angry with Fowler over the senator's recent trend of voting against gay and lesbian issues, often siding with notorious homophobe Sen. Jesse Helms (R-NC) on issues such as the District of Columbia's Health Care Benefits Act, which would have allowed the District to enroll domestic partners of unmarried city employees in the city's benefits program at no cost to taxpayers. Women's groups joined the outcry against Fowler, citing his vote to confirm Clarence Thomas to the U.S. Supreme Court. Fowler received 49% of the vote in his campaign, but Georgia law requires that candidates receive a majority of voters to be elected. Liberterian candidate Jim Hudson—and write-in candidates Harvey Milk and Anita Hill—got enough votes to keep Fowler from victory. Hudson has since endorsed Coverdell. With the runoff less than two weeks away, gay and lesbian organizations are trying to meet with Fowler and Coverdell to determine if either candidate warrants an endorsement At press time, no meetings are scheduled, although the Fowler campaign agreed to a meeting, and then subsequently cancelled it, prompting some to wonder if the Senator was sincere in originally agreeing to the meeting. "I'm afraid he may be just teasing until it's too late to go to press with any information we get," said George. Ignoring the obvious At the Clinton/Gore victory party at Colony Square on election night, television cameras brought to living rooms across the state the unmistakable signs of gay presence. "Gay and Lesbian Vote" signs filled the room. But time and again, reporters seemed to ignore the obvious. "Here's this big elephant in the living room," said George, "and hardly ever did those reporters mention it" In fact, WSB-TV reporter Sandra Bookman was seen once—while live—ordering the celebrating gays and lesbians to "put down those signs." Southern Voice was unable to reach WSB for an explanation, but one CONTINUES ON PAGE 12 �SOUTHERN NOVEMBER VOICE g T-SHIRTS A CARDS ▲ GIFTS A BALLOONS 12/1992 Husband says he shouldn't have to pay alimony since ex-wife has lesbian lover H Ruling could affect gay/lesbian relationships in Georgia Serving Gay Atlanta Atlanta— Georgia's Supreme Court has heard arguments in another case that has a direct bearing on the legitimacy of lesbian and gay relationships, although the benefits and drawbacks in the case are not necessarily clear cut. Earlier this year, in Crook v. Gilaen, the court ruled that a lesbian relationship did not automatically invalidate partnership agreements between the two parties. In Van Dyck v. Van Dyck, Phillip Giles Van Dyck, who was divorced from his wife in 1978, filed suit to terminate his alimony payments on the grounds that his former wife is now living with a lesbian lover. Van Dyck's attorney argued on Oct. 13 that Georgia's live-in lover statute relieves him from the obligation to pay. The statute makes a former spouse who lives with a lover in a relationship "akin to marriage" ineligible for further alimony payments, but it specifically defines cohabitation as "dwelling continuously and openly in a meretricious relationship with a person of the opposite sex." That statute, argued University of Georgia law professor Albert M. Pearson HI, is unconstitutional because it discriminates based on the gender of the third party. Martha J. Kuckleburg, representing the former wife, told the court that there was discrimination in the statute, but it was not gender based. "What we have is discrimination by relationship," she said. Kuckleburg argued that the relationship of the former Mrs. Van Dyck cannot be considered akin to marriage "because two persons of the same sex cannot get married.. .You don't have a marriage unless you have two persons of the opposite sex." How this case will affect lesbian and gay couples is unclear. Should the court rule in favor of Pearson's argument that the alimony laws do discriminate based on gender, the Since 1 981 funny business 876-37471 ANSLEY MALL M-F 10-9, Sat 9:30-9.

Admission $3.00-Children Free way could be open to challenge the state's marriage laws, which ironically do not specifically require the two parties to be of opposite sexes. To date, however, the statute has always been interpreted as applying to two persons of the opposite sex. That argument is the basis of Attorney General Michael Bowers' defense in Snahar v. Bowers, the case involving a law school graduate who was denied a job by Bowers when he learned she had participated in a religious commitment ceremony with her partner. Attorneys familiar with the law as it relates to gays and lesbians do not see much hope for the court to reverse the assumption that marriage must be between two people of the opposite sex. "Yes, what they're discriminating against is same sex relationships," said Jeri Kagel, a local attorney. "But the courts have continually said we're not a protected class." Kagel said that if there was a law on the books that prohibited discrimination based on same sex relationships, the live-in lover statute would clearly violate it "But, we're not protected," she said. Kagel said that it was also possible the court could rule in favor of Van Dyck on some other grounds, avoiding any kind of precendence on gay/lesbian relationships altogether. "They could say that [the former wife] is participating in illegal behavior, and that should alleviate him of the obligation of paying," she said. Judge Linda W. Hunter in DeKalb County Superior Court earlier this year agreed that the statute was discriminatory based on gender; Kuckleburg appealed to the Supreme Court. A ruling is not expected until early next year. KC WILDMOON 2nd Weekend Monthly Washington, D.C.—Amnesty International's new probe of atrocities in Myanmar (Burma) failed to document earlier reports that HUV+ prostitutes have been forcibly expatriated and injected with lethal cyanide to stop the spread of AIDS. "The allegations are credible, but not verifiable," said openly gay Kerry Johnson, Amnesty's mid-Atlantic region director. Amnesty International's (AI) researchers were unable to locate the Thailand military general named by Burmese dissidents during the August investigation, Johnson said. "He's nowhere to be found." While authoritative sources would not confirm the reports, "there's no definite proof that the killings did not happen," said Dawn Calabia of the U.S. Catholic Conference, just back from Myanmar. "Everybody knows about the deaths," she said, "but nobody knows." The Myanmar government denies committing the cyanide deaths, and blames pimps, brothel owners, and other sex trade henchmen as being responsible for abuses, Calabia said. The "genocidal murder" of 25 or more women sex workers was protested by ACT UP and "Queer & Asian" (Q&A) members at the Myanmar Chancery in Washington, D.C. on May 29. The demonstration was sparked by San Francisco's IGLHRC, which asked for emergency action after reports in The Nation magazine and on UPI's wire service. A director of a shelter for abused women in Bangkok said Thai police disclosed Burma's chemical execution. "The police told us the girls were injected and buried, all killed," Nitiya Thippayanuruksakui told UPI. Burmese officials at the chancery refused to discuss the protesters' request for a meeting on the scandal. The Burmese incident constitutes one of the most extreme examples of how HIV+ people are persecuted, said ACT UP's Margaret Cantrell, of the Washington, D.C. chapter. "This kind of thing goes on all over the world against HIV+ people. This is just the worst of it It's horrifying." Human rights violations are now so widespread in the southeast Asian country that many thousands of people from every walk of life have been victimized, AI said October 27. Myanmar is run by the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC), a "notorious military regime," charges the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission. IGLHRC, allies, and the press first reported the alleged cyanide deaths. Activists have said they will appeal to the U.S. State Department, the United Nations, AI, and U.S. businesses in Burma for intervention to prevent further killings.

MONA BENNETT Condom law passes City Council Atlanta—Caving in to pressure from the Atlanta Braves and other "family-oriented" businesses, the Atlanta City Council watered down an ordinance requiring on-site sale of condoms. Originally, the measure developed by council president Marvin Arlington and introduced by member Carolyn Long Banks would have applied to all establishments where liquor is sold. Then the city discovered that state law prohibits applying such a rule to liquor stores. Next, the council was lobbied by restaurants, hotels, sporting venues, and others who didn't want to sell condoms. The final version of the ordinance, passed Nov. 2 by a 9-3 vote, applies only to city bars and nightclubs that derive less than 50% of their annual sales from food. The new law mandates that bars and clubs "shall have latex Bashers get probation for attempted murder of two gay men in Washington, D.C. Washington, D.C.—Two white teenagers who tried to kill two gay men on Dupont Circle's popular P Street here two years ago were sentenced to three years of strict probation in lieu of a prison term. D. C. Superior Court Judge Ellen Segal Suvelle sentenced the suburban Virginia pair to three to six years imprisonment, but expressed empathy for white youths being sent to DCs Lorton Prison, where they would face "cruel and unusual punishment" amidst overcrowding and a population of predominantly black offenders doing hard time. Consequently, she suspended the sentence. Instead of incarceration, the two face strict adult probation requirements. They are to be monitored for three years, must perform 300 hours of community service, obtain employment or enter college, abstain from alcohol, seek substance abuse counseling, and see a psychologist weekly. The youths, now 19 and 18, faced prison terms of 40 years. The case is the first gay-bashing prosecuted under the District of Columbia's hatecrime law. Survivors of the crime, Tom Donegan and condoms available for sale." In the opinion of city research analyst Al Berry, bars that distribute condoms free of charge will not be considered in violation. "I think the ordinance is a good step," said Kathleen Brockel, executive director of the Atlanta chapter of the National Association of People With AIDS. "It's one more avenue for AIDS education and availability of condoms at places where people might decide to have sex. But I think it would be a lot better if we had much more widespread, targeted AIDS education." Palmer Marsh, the owner of Burkhart's, an Atlanta gay bar, agreed that education would be a more useful government effort. He also questioned the weakening of the ordinance. "There's a lot more sex going on in hotels than there is in bars," he said. "I don't know why they exempted hotels." GARETH FENLEY Mark Weinress, have pledged to redouble efforts to prevent bashings, assist victims, and hold government officials more accountable. "Whatever sentence would have happened will never make me feel safe on the streets again, nor bring back the sense of security I once had in our gay community," said Donegan. The two teen perpetrators were released from city jail here October 26 after serving two months behind bars in a special youth unit. John Bertrand, then 17, of Great Falls, and David Schmugge, then 16, of Falls Church, were indicted for assault with intent to murder while armed and trying to injure a person. Witnesses said the teens stalked the victims in a vehicle on the popular P Street strip, returned to assault them with a billy club, and shouted "kill the fags." Some 12 people saw the August 1990 incident. Donegan and Weinress survived the unprovoked attack thanks to intervention by those witnesses. "They were ready to kill us, out to murder. I've seen thousands of murders on TV and in films, but it's nothing like having it happen to you," said Donegan. To look at someone and know that he's going to kill you is an extraordinary experience." Reports of anti-gay violence have escalated by one-third this year. Five gay-related murders and another five bashings near P Street bars were logged by Gays and Lesbians Opposed to Violence (GLOV).

The Logan County sheriff's office was notified by Louisville police Oct. 29 that 2025 sticks of dynamite were stolen from the area and the bed-and-breakfast outside Russellville was the target, Jim Turner said. No explosive devices were found on the property, but a deputy sheriff was posted near the house, which was closed to guests Friday, said Turner, who operates the resort with his companion, Jimmy Cates. "It's been kind of quiet," Turner said. "But it's a terribly grave situation. You don't know what to do. The sheriff told me he had to take it seriously. If they are going to take it seriously, I guess we should, too." Turner said the sheriff's office recommended they close the house and leave tempo- Gay man beaten by teenagers in Miami Beach Miami Beach, FL (The Weekly News)—A 45-year-old Miami Beach man was jumped and beaten by two teenagers on Nov. 1, outside a gay night club, police said. The victim, whose name is not being released by the Miami Beach Police Department, was walking outside the Bulldog, a Levi/ leather night club, when he was approached by two juveniles, ages 15 and 16, who repeatedly called him a "fag." One youth, according to police reports, said, "You're a fag and I don't like fags." The other said, "I'm going to kick the shit out of a faggot now." The assailants then punched the victim several times in the face, leaving cuts and bruises. The victim, in fear for his life, ran to the Bulldog's front door and started banging to be let in, reports said. The youths followed him and began punching and kicking him. Employees inside the bar, which had closed, called police. The youths fled while screaming "We kill fags," "I hope you learned your lesson, faggot" and "Next time we see you, we're going to kill you." Police were able to catch both youths, who were taken into custody by state Health and Rehabilitative Services officers. Miami Beach police reports state clearly that the attack was rooted in prejudice, and the battery is expected to be reported to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement as a hate crime. STEVEN BILLER Baseball star's wife opens gay bar in Miami Miami (AP)—The soon to be ex-wife of baseball slugger Jose Canseco is opening up a new gay bar in Miami. Esther Canseco put up the money for The Hidden Sailor after some gay male friends told her they were looking for a sophisticated bar to socialize in, said her attorney, Luis Delgado. "These are older higher income people and they didn't have a place to go," said Delgado. Her brother, Roberto Haddad, will manage the nightspot. Last week, Mrs. Canseco filed for divorce, saying her stormy four-year marriage with the Texas Rangers outfielder was irretrievably broken. IMC gay vet group kicks off RTP, NC—The North Carolina Veterans Coalition kicked off its membership drive with a fund raiser featuring Perry Watkins on November 7. At the meeting, members discussed strategies to address the policies of the upcoming Clinton administration. rarily. They canceled reservations from three couples for the weekend, but Turner said he and Cates decided to remain at the house. "I don't want to give in to them and it's my house," Turner said. "I have no where else to go. It's like the captain going down with the ship." Since the couple turned their hilltop chateau on 10 wooded acres into a bed-and-breakfast, they have been the subject of sermons, harassment, prayers and death threats. Gaybashing graffiti has been spray-painted on asphalt outside the house and effigies have been hanged from the oaks and maples along the private road leading to the resort. But this was the first bomb threat since it opened Oct. 16, Turner said. The couple had previously hired several armed security guards, who remained at the house this weekend, Turner said. They hope to reopen the resort early next week, he said. The organization plans to serve as a watchdog group to insure that the military complies with the expected repeal of the Department of Defense's ban on gays and lesbians in the military. Lobbying efforts from the group will support resolutions repealing the ban from Sen. Howard Metzenbaum and Rep. Pat Schroeder. Membership in the NCVC is open to all past and present members of the Armed Forces and Coast Guard, and interested non-military personnel, who live in North Carolina.

KY (AP)—Three members of the Chaotic Brothers, a group that professes contempt for gays, have been charged with assault in the severe beating of a man in a city park earlier this month. Police are seeking a fourth suspect in the attack on Mark Jeffrey Bailey, 30, who did not report the incident until five days after it happened. The three in custody told police they are "Skinheads," belong to the Chaotic Brothers and are supporters of neo-Nazi beliefs, said Louisville police Capt. Wayne Kessinger. Kessinger said police are trying to determine whether the Chaotic Brothers is an organized hate group or a loosely knit bunch of people who don't like gays. One suspect, Ramon Dale Julian, 21, was arrested in Cherokee Park in August and charged with assault on a man, police said. According to court records, Julian pleaded guilty Sept. 3 and received a six-month suspended sentence. In addition, Damien Chad White, 18, and Robert Willard Eve, 21, are charged in the latest attack in Cherokee Park. All three have court hearings scheduled for early November. Bailey was in Cherokee Park with another man about 11 p.m. Oct. 8 when Bailey was hit repeatedly on the head and face with a stick, police said. The second man fled and has not pressed charges, police said. Bailey did not tell police of the assault until five days later, after the severity of his injuries became apparent, the police report said. Bailey spent several days at Baptist Hospital East, some of that time "in critical condition with life-threatening symptoms," the police report said. Kessinger said police are investigating whether a hate group was involved in other recent incidents in which men have been assaulted in the park. �SOUTHERN VOICE Study Group Completes First Survey Of Gays In China: A survey of homosexuality in China indicates that while attitudes toward it are easing, the country still has a long way to go toward acceptance. People believed to be homosexual are no longer arrested automatically, although in less cosmopolitan areas of the country, those suspected to be gay still are often put in labor reform camps or given electric shock treatment. In a survey conducted by the Shangai Sex Sociological Research Center, 32.3% of the people interviewed described homosexuality as harmful behavior. The interviewees were all people who had been designated by acquaintances or police as gay. Forty percent of those interviewed denied being gay. Gays and Baptists Angry At "SSX" Printer: R.R. Donnelley & Sons, the company that printed Madonna's book "Sex," has come under fire from Southern Baptists and a gay publisher. The Baptists, which have a $2.1 million Bible printing contract with Donnelley, say they are reviewing their contracts, while Sasha Alyson, head of Alyson Publications, condemns Donnelley's printing of the explicit book as hypocrisy." In 1984, Donnelley refused to print a novel we sent, and flatly told me they would not print any new books from us that had gay subject matter," said Alyson, who said the company also refused "Gay Sex: A Manual for Men Who Love Men" last year. Donnelley also refused to print "Gay Ideas: Outing and Other controversies," by University of Illinois professor Richard Mohr. "It seems to me that R.R. Donnelley's morals are up for sale," said Mohr. Detroit Bishop Dissents From Vatican Statement On Homosexuality: A group of gay Catholics was joined by Detroit Bishop Thomas Gumbleton and two colleagues in criticizing a recent Vatican statement that okays discrimination against gays. New Ways Ministry, based in Mount Rainier MD, has prepared a four page advertisement scheduled to appear in the Nov. 13 issue of the National Catholic Reporter. More than 1500 people have signed the ad, including Gumbleton, Bishop Walter Sullivan of Richmond, VA, and retired Bishop Charles Buswell of Pueblo, CO. "This will be educational for a lot of people," said Buswell. "Many don't understand homosexuality except to think it's bad. This is to let people know publicly that gay people should not be discriminated against." Second Submarine Sailor Comes Out: A 21 -year-old enlisted man has become the second sailor at the Naval Submarine Base Bangor (Bremerton, Washington) in recent weeks to face discharge from the military after announcing he is gay. Seaman Apprentice Frederick W. Seltzer, Jr., a journalist at the base's public affairs office, told Navy officials this week about his sexual orientation. "I do not want to leave the Navy," he said, "[but] by hiding this, I'd be lying.. .I'm a person that can't deal with lies." In late September, Robert E. Matt, a radioman second class aboard the Trident submarine USS Alabama, came out. Both Matt and Seltzer are now being processed for discharge under the Department of Defense's policy banning gays and lesbians from service. Police In California Reviewing Affiliation With Boy Scouts: The California Highway Patrol is reviewing its affiliation with the Boy Scouts because the BSA ousted a gay police officer from an Explorer post. That announcement came one day after San Diego police said they would sever ties with the BSA because the scouts had suspended El Cajon police officer Chuck Merino after he said publicly that he is gay. The Highway Patrol decided to review its affiliation with the Explorers because the patrol policy prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation. Lesbian Denied Post As Presbyterian Minister: A lesbian minister will not be permitted to lead a Presbyterian congregation in Rochester, NY. The Rev. Jane Spahr's appointment as pastor of the church was ruled improper because she is "a self-affirmed, practicing homosexual" by the General Assembly Permanent Judicial Commission of the Presbyterian Church (USA). Rev. Spahr said she would work to change the church's policy. "I believe my sexuality is a gift from God," she said. "For any institution to encourage that a person lie, or that a person cannot say or be who they are, I am deeply troubled by the decision." Spahr was chosen by the Downtown United Presbyterian Church in Nov. 1991, but that appointment was held up while 10 church's challenged the appointment. Iowa Regents Add Gay Partners To Insurance Plan: The Iowa Board of Regents last week approved a new plan that allows University of Iowa employees to purchase health insurance coverage for domestic partners. In the new program, participants must pay the additional premiums to add their partner. At least one Board member, Thomas Dorr of Marcus, condemned the action, saying that "the issue should be decided by the Legislature." Episcopal Clergy Ordered To Stop Blessing Gay Unions: Bishop A. Theodore Eastman last week ordered Episcopal clergy not to bless gay unions. Eastman made the order in response to the blessing of the union of a lesbian couple by the Rev. William W. Rich on July 4. Conservative members of the Episcopal Church said that Eastman's order was not strong enough, calling for the removal of Rich from his duties. Concerned Episcopalians says that the service performed by Rich "looked and sounded like a wedding." Rich says that he designed the special service for the couple to avoid such a controversy.

"When even a person as beloved and respected as Magic Johnson feels he must leave his life's work due to people's unwarranted fears, you can guess what happens to the tens of thousands of other people with HIV," said Dr. David Rogers, vice chairman of the National Commission on AIDS. Johnson first retired from the Los Angeles Lakers a year ago when he revealed he was infected with HIV but hadn't yet developed symptoms of AIDS. He decided to rejoin the team Sept. 29, but on Nov. 2 announced he was retiring for good, citing "various controversies surrounding my return." Johnson's agent, Lou Rosen, said he was referring to public comments by other NBA players that competing against him put them at risk of contracting the virus if they received cuts and were exposed to Johnson's blood on the basketball court—a fear medical experts have dismissed. "It is a physical game and you do get kicked and scratched," said Utah Jazz forward Karl Malone. "I do have concerns, just like anybody would have. It's not a thing of kicking a man when he's down." The risk of catching AIDS on the court "is near zero," said Rogers, who also is an adviser to the NBA and a professor at Cornell University Medical College in New York. Rogers called Johnson's action "yet another example of the discrimination suffered by people with HIV." Players' fears of Johnson "shows how poorly we've done in public education efforts," Rogers said. "They've just failed us badly." "It's a little tragic to me that we're going to live out these old myths that we can't play together," said Mary Fisher, the Republican stalwart who took Johnson's place when he quit the National Commission on AIDS in protest against President Bush's AIDS policies. Johnson "did so many things to break down these walls and I'd hate to see them built back up," Fisher said.

That state won't be getting its hateful hands on my dollars. Or dimes. Or nickels. Or pennies. This decision comes, of course, after voters there hit a Rocky Mountain low on Nov. 3. They killed local laws protecting the gay community. The majority of Coloradans would rather we didn't exist. The next thing you know there'll be "whites only" bathrooms at Denver's International Airport. It wouldn't surprise me, given the message they're sending out. They're saying that stereotype is truth. They're saying we're irresponsible, unfit, immoral, corrupt. Their pejoratives are endless. Well, the following might instruct regarding some truth. Wallets strike greater blows than ballots. A friend of the family recently moved to Boulder. When she reaches out and touches us, her exuberance about the place is catching. She's issued invitations. Before the election, I had hoped someday to go. I now decline. The state can look elsewhere for tourist income. Hospitality attracts. Hate doesn't. You don't go where you're not wanted unless it's Cracker Barrel for a sit-in. And even then, you're careful not to spend any money. You're not nice to those who treat you like crap. There are other places to go. Ironically, even Russia makes for a better vacation. I know. I've set foot on its welcome mat twice in as many years. There's also a move by its government to decriminalize homosexuality. And to think, one of our so-called united states is now more repressive. There are those you avoid at all cost. It's folks with their brains up their butts. After all, they say we're a bad influence. But I'm college-educated, several times over. I'm employed. I'm in a loving relationship and committed to it. If they want to be an enemy, I won't be a friend. They'll say the former anatomical position is preferable to having dicks up your butt. But if indeed we do have dicks up our butts, you can bet they've got condoms on them. And that's more than can be said for the sexuality they endorse. Guess whose rate of AIDS has been exceeding ours? Actually, they are right about one thing. The responsibility issue. It's time the gay community studied whom it benefits with its travel bucks. You can bet this fairly-frequent traveler has thought about it. The next time I pack my Nikon and hiking shoes, I won't be unpacking them in Colorado. How's that for responsibility? Jerald M. Byrd Thurman's endorsement of Fowler reckless To the Editor: In the issue of Southern Voice that was on the stands during the election I was astonished to read a [letter to the editor] headline which read "AID Atlanta Supports Fowler." I find it unbelievable that someone with the political savvy of Sandy Thurman would risk the tax-exempt status of Atlanta's flagship AIDS service organization by having her own political views published in the press under the name of AID Atlanta. IRS rules governing non-profit 501 (c) (3) corporations specifically forbid them from taking political stances, and Ms. Thurman's letter is in direct violation of that rule. What happens if her candidate doesn't win and his opponent decides to take a little political revenge by having the law enforced? AID Atlanta, which receives the overwhelming majority of all funding directed toward AIDS services in this city, would be out of business overnight. Ms. Thurman has every right to her own political views, but does any one individual have the right to knowingly take such dangerous risks with an organization that belongs to all of us? Pleading ignorance won't work. She could not possibly be unaware of the political restrictions on non-profits and still be capable of running an organization as complex as AID Atlanta. This is incredibly reckless behavior on the part of someone who is rumored to be lobbying to become the AIDS Czar under President Clinton. As it turned out on election day, the newly unified gay and lesbian vote not only carried Georgia for Clinton, it forced Fowler into a run-off. This was a noisy statement of our maturity as a political force that every politician has heard. How they act on that message in large part will be determined by the Fowler- Coverdell run-off. Will we be the wimps that they think we are or will we continue to speak with a strong voice and play political hardball with our power? I hope it's the latter because I'm tired of taking the political crap they drop our way and I want to fight back! Personally, I was very unhappy with the choices in Georgia's Senate race, but in the booth I acted on the old truism which states that when you're faced with the choice of two evils, you always pick the one you haven't tried yet. Six years ago Fowler got elected with our support but once in he double-crossed us and played to South Georgia, voting with Jesse Helms 70% of the time. On Nov. 3 we gave him a message. If we do the same in the run-off, you'd damn well better believe the winner will hear us—whichever one it is. They may be cynical about us, but they probably aren't stupid. Sincerely, Tom Blount Civil rights should not be up for vote To the Editor Yesterday 57% of the citizens of Portland, Maine, voted not to repeal that city's gay rights ordinance. With the exception of Colorado, the vote went pretty much our way this year. We must recognize, however, the injustice of having our civil rights put to popular vote. When did we agree to entrust politicians with decisions affecting our private lives? Who says that we have to be popular in order to exercise our basic human rights? After 14 years in Georgia, I can tell you that we would still have segregation and lynching in some areas of the South if the human rights of African-Americans were dependent on popular vote. Are we less important? So while "winning" most of these referenda is better than losing, the very idea that our human dignity is up for vote is cruel and unjust, and something we can NEVER feel good about. Just as in the case of racial bigotry, we need national legislation to provide clear and uniform protection of our civil rights as gay and lesbian Americans, second to none!

SOUTHERN VOICE Thanks for the victory To the Editor I wish to thank the hundreds and hundreds of people from our community who worked so diligently in HRCF's coordinated effort to elect Bill Clinton president. I've never seen such passionate, dedicated, enthusiastic volunteers who helped electrify the gay and lesbian electorate. There is absolutely no doubt that the gay and lesbian vote delivered Georgia to Clinton. We can all be very proud. It was personally rewarding to witness our community come together, march together and seek the same goal. Victory is sweet, but the real reward will be on January 21 when the military ban will be lifted, an AIDS Csar will be appointed, and our issues begin receiving the attention they deserve from Washington. Again, a heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped, and let's not forget the strength we have as a community when we work together.

"I want my own funeral to be fierce and defiant, to make the public statement that my death from AIDS is a form of political assassination," Mark Lowe Fisher, 38, said in a request published in the gay magazine QW last month. Fisher, a senior project architect with James Stewart Polshek and Partners and a member of ACT-UP, died Oct. 29. A memorial service was held for him Monday afternoon at Judson Memorial Church on Washington Square South, after which nine pallbearers carried Fisher's plain pine coffin around the perimeter of Washington Square Park and up the 39 blocks to Republican headquarters on West 43rd Street. "/ want my own funeral to be fierce and defiant, to make the public statement that my death from AIDS is a form of political assassination," — Mark Lowe Fisher About 200 mourners marched with the coffin, accompanied by some 100 police officers. The protest was peaceful and there were no arrests, said police spokesman Sgt. Ed Burns. "He wanted his death to serve as an indictment of the inaction of George Bush and Ronald Reagan over the last 12 years," said James Baggett, a spokesman for the Marys, a subgroup of ACT-UP that was formed by Fisher and others before a 1989 protest at St. Patrick's Cathedral. The mourners chanted, "Mark Fisher died from AIDS! Where was George?" Staffers at the Bush headquarters had no comment on the protest. After leaving the casket outside the campaign office for about 15 minutes, mourners put it in a station wagon and took Fisher's body to a cemetery. Polshek, Fisher's former employer, told New York Newsday that Fisher had been a "brilliant" architect. "He kept us straight," Polshek said. "In a lot of ways he was the conscience of the firm, but not in a nettling way. He was always coming down on the side of the humanizing of a building." Fisher is survived by his parents, two brothers and a sister. At Hennessy we've put the customer first since 1964.

An Open Letter to the Community: It is with great pride that we, the members of Queer Nation/Atlanta, extend our appreciation and admiration to the lesbian and gay community in Atlanta and throughout the country who gave their energies to not only the Clinton/Gore Campaign but also the many other campaigns. We stand proud that over 71% of the lesbian and gay community cast their ballots for change and the Clinton/Gore ticket. With the election of Governor Bill Clinton to the Presidency, the lesbian and gay community in the United States and Atlanta stands at a crossroads. One road leads toward President Clinton and the 103rd Congress. A Congress which will flow with new blood of a changed America. Through our perseverance, we will achieve the full funding of the Ryan White Act, the abolishment of the ban on lesbian and gay men from the military, the achievement of a Lesbian and Gay Civil Rights Act, national health care for all citizens of the United States, and many other reforms which we seek to achieve. By choosing this road, Atlanta can become a city free from fear, violence, and bigotry toward all minorities. The other road is more bleak. It leads to continued downfalls, job discrimination, Mr. Aaron Taub ACT UP/Atlanta This is in reference to your letter to Ms. Marcia Greenburg of AID Atlanta, concerning police harassment against your organization during the recent AIDS Walk. While I understand and appreciate the need for a degree of radical behavior to draw attention to AIDS causes, I question the use of an AIDS fundraiser to accomplish your goals and specifically your need to use the ever popular "fuck" word to express your views. Granted, it is an attention-getting phrase, much like a child would use to shock a parent. However, have you considered how much of the heterosexual community, walking with their children in support of the AIDS service agencies, who may not return next year because of your actions? As Director of the 1991 AIDS Walk, one of the many goals the Volunteer Steering Committee and myself attempted to accomplish was to create an awareness of the ADDS crises to the heterosexual community and to get them involved. I'm proud to say that for the first time, Atlantans from all life styles walked together, thanks to a group of hard-working dedicated people who made it happen. Believe me they didn't have to say the "fuck" word in order to accomplish this goal. I too confronted people from your organization during last year's Walk because of their rudeness and harassment of celebrities and dignitaries who had donated their time to be a part of Atlanta's first AIDS Walk. When I attempted to question the logic of the individual who was blasting his bullhorn in Elton John's ear, he indicated they were making sure that the "straight" population would hear their message. I told him to simply look around— they were already here, walking with us. Your actions at fundraisers are counter- AIDSphobia, hate and bias crimes, as well as, social and economic ruin. Through our spearheading of the AIDS crisis, the queer community has been forced to master the art of politics and it is apparent through the election of President Clinton that we are taking our rightful place. However, now that we have stepped out of the closet and into the voting booth, we must not look back. It is our choice in which direction our path leads. Reflecting on the '60s, we are reminded of the adage—"If you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem." Which will you be? We still have a long way to go in order to assure that the issues of the queer community are placed on the forefront of the national agenda. Will we now return to a life of complacency in which the queer community sits at home allowing the religious right and the politicians to dictate our future or will we propel the queer community forward? Will we make America live up to its motto of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all people. Queer Nation/Atlanta has chosen the road of change and we encourage you to choose the same. Please continue to give your time, your resources and your dedication on the road toward change. Sincerely, Queer Nation/Atlanta productive to what many of us are trying to accomplish and that is to take care of our friends, neighbors, loved ones and relatives affected by AIDS. As a point of fact, at least one of the 1991 major corporate sponsors, BellSouth, declined to participate this year as a direct result of your activities at the first Walk. Continue your protests and demonstrations, but use a more logical venue to accomplish your goals. Sincerely, Harry Brown CORRE< i ION & AMPLIFICATION In an article about piercing and tattooing which appeared in Vol. 5.

Continued from page 1 participant did say that Bookman had explained that she wanted the signs down lower so that cameras could see the number of people in the room. Other stations broadcasting the proceedings, however, apparently had no problem with the signs, although reporters rarely spoke of them. In fact, virtually no one did. After Clinton's victory was sealed, speaker after speaker thanked the gathered crowd, but not until Mayor Maynard Jackson's speech did gays and lesbians get acknowledgment for their efforts. "There's another group of people here," said Jackson after a laundry list of groups that helped 'the Clinton/Gore ticket, "who pay their taxes, do their jobs, participate in their neighborhoods, and decided they weren't going to be treated like dirt anymore just because they are gay or lesbian." Jackson's acknowledgment aside, the Democratic Party itself, at least in Georgia, seemed uncomfortable with the real contributions of gays and lesbians to the campaign. Throughout, campaign volunteers reported difficulties in dealing with state and local officials. HRCF staffer Cathy Woolard said that campaign staff would not allow HRCF to dispatch literature drop volunteers from inside the DeKalb party office, and always "there was this whispering about buttons and t-shirts." Woolard also reported an initial balking on the part of state party officials to allow a photo to be taken of the campaign receiving money raised in the gay and lesbian community. Although that issue was eventually resolved, Woolard said the problems were constant. "Every time we had an interaction about something, there was a struggle," she said, "and that's too bad, because in an election the last thing you want to do is put up road blocks to the people who are doing the work." But. said Don George, the difficulties did not extend to,the national campaign. "We went through a lot those last two months before the election," he said. "But it was truly a local thing. We had no problems with the national Democratic Party or national Clinton/ Gore." Local party officials had no comment, saylalk to the press Reps. Barney Frank and Gerry Studds, who were both reclected, voters in 10 states and the District of Columbia elected gay or lesbian candidates to state and local positions. Wisconsin and New Mexico added lesbians to their state assemblies. Tammy Baldwin became Wisconsin's first openly lesbian Assembly member, and Liz Stefanics was elected to New Mexico's Senate. Winning reelection were Texas State Representative Glen Maxey, Oregon State Representative Gail Shibley, Minnesota State Senator Allan Shear, Minnesota State Representative Karen Clark, Maine State Senator Dale McCormick, Maine State Representative Susan Famsworth,' New York State Assemblywoman Deborah Glick, Vermont State Representative Ron Squires, and Washington State Representative Cal Anderson. Six openly gay and lesbian candidates for boards of education were elected in California, and six candidates for Advisory Neighborhood Commission seats were elected in the District of Columbia. Additionally, Joan B. Lobis was elected to the State Supreme Court of New York. In another race of interest to the lesbian and gay community, former Texas State District Judge Jack Hampton lost to Judge Barbar Rosenberg in the race for a seat on the Court of Appeals. Hampton previously gained infamy by giving a light sentence to the murderer of a gay man because the victim was "queer." But what about Oregon and Colorado?

The law also repealed existing protections in Boulder, Denver and Aspen. In Colorado, gay and lesbian groups—as well as those three cities—were preparing legal challenges to the new law. Tennis star Martina Navratilova, who helped raise money for EPOColorado, the group opposing Amendment 2, pledged her help. "[Amendment 2] makes it legal to discriminate against gays," she said. "There's going to be a legal fight that I will be involved in. It's pretty devastating." Elected officials across Colorado, including Gov. Roy Romer, also pledged their support. "My personal opinion is that it's unconstitutional to discriminate based on sexual orientation," said Romer. Denver Mayor Wellington Webb said that his city would file a challenge within 10 days. Webb said the amendment violates the state Constitution's home rule provision, which gives some cities authority to make their own laws. In the immediate aftermath of last week's election, some groups called for a boycott of Colorado. "It's inconceivable to us to spend our money in a state that endorses discrimination against us," said Benjamin Schatz, executive director of the American Association of Physicians for Human Rights (AAPHR). AAPHR immediately cancelled its planned 1993 convention, scheduled for next August in Denver. The Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund also removed Colorado cities from its list of potential sites for its next convention. But some activists called on gays and lesbians to flood Colorado. "When someone declares war on you, you don't pull out your troops," said comic Robin Tyler, a noted gay and lesbian community organizer. "The state of Colorado has declared war on us, and we are graciously accepting." Tyler urged gays and lesbians to turn out in force for the annual Aspen Lesbian and Gay Ski Week early next year. Aspen, she noted, voted 3-1 against Amendment 2. The ski week is the Aspen community's chief fundraising event, regularly drawing 3,000 skiers. Tyler wants to see 10,000 gathered for "fun and politics," using the week to raise money and support for April's March on Washington. "Quite the opposite of boycotting," she said, "we're going to use that week to organize. I've heard people say 'Why do we need a March on Washington?' Well, here's why. Colorado should lead that march." The campaign in Colorado did bring more gays and lesbians into the political forefront than ever before. Nan, a lesbian living in Denver, got involved for the first time. "I never did before," she said. "I had a deep feeling that [my sexual orientation] is nobody's business, but they have made it their business." Sue Anderson, director of the Colorado Gay and Lesbian Community Center, said that the campaign had galvanized the community to continue the fight. "We're finding our voice. We're finding our feet. We will battle on," she said. To help with the grassroots and education campaign in Colorado, contact EPOC, PO Box 300476, Denver CO 80203.

But, you can find a whole two weekends worth of great gay-positive films during the 4th Annual MAGE/SAME Gay and Lesbian Film and Video Festival. "The film festival is one of the most exciting events we do," says Rebecca Ranson, Executive director of SAME, "because it runs the wide range of forms from features to documentaries, to experimental films. In general, these are films people can't see anywhere else." The festival, which runs November 13-15, and November 20-22, begins with "Changing Our Minds: The Story of Dr. Evelyn Hooker." Director Richard Schmiechen, producer of the Academy Award-winning "Times of Harvey Milk," brings to film the historical story of Dr. Hooker, the trailblazing psychologist whose research proved that homosexuality is not a mental illness. The film covers the "Rock Hudson's Home Movies," 1940s to the present playing Sat., Nov. 14, recalls using archival footAmerica's sexual past through the age and illuminateyes of a much more political ing interviews. "Changing Our Hudson than we knew. Minds" begins at 8 pm, November 13th at Rich Auditorium at the High Museum of Art, followed by "Where The Cows Go," a touching film about a woman institutionalized for 40 years at age 14 for kissing a girl. Ranson says it's a giant step forward for the festival to open at the High. "Getting the people from the High to cooperate in this is wonderful," she says. "Eventually, I would like to do the whole festival there." The rest of this year's festival will take place at IMAGE Film & Video Center. Saturday, November 14th, go From Queer to Eternity with three feature films including "Rock Hudson's Home Movies" by Mark Rappaport. Rock (played by Eric Fair) recalls America's sexual past through countless snippets from his films. "At Home With the Stars" by loe Westmoreland features interviews with Hollywood icons including Patsy Cline. Cecilia Barriga's "The Meeting of Two Queens" uses montages to bring Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo together at last. Five films are featured on Sunday, November 15th— Celebrating Our Diversity. Six deaf performers are brought together in "Actions Speak Louder Than Words" to devise staged pieces based on their gay and deaf cultures intersecting. Richard Kwientniowski's film also features a beginner's guide to sexual signing. "Khush" by Pratibha Parmar takes its title from the Urdu word meaning "ecstatic pleasure" and is an uplifting documentary about South Asian lesbians and gay men in Britain, North America and India. Cheryl Dune's "She Don't Fade," explaining a young black lesbian's life, "Two Spirit People," depicting Native American concepts about sexual orientation, and "(In) Visible Women," focusing on HIV+ Latina women, round out the evening.

Filmmakers Angela Hans Schierl, Ursula Purrer, and Dietmar Schipek are pictured here. is a lyrical visual study of the 1990 Gay Pride Procession filmed in Chicago. "(Tell Me Why) The Epistemology of Disco" is an affectionate and humorous look at the role disco music plays in the gay male identity. The "Q.C. Girls" by William Smartt, features several sassy dykes in McMinnville, Tennessee, who give as good as they get from the local bigots.

EVEIYN HOOKER Dr. Evelyn Hooker is the memorable champion of gay rights presented in the new documentary "Changing Our Minds" which opens the 4th annual Atlanta Gay/ Lesbian Film & Video Festival on Nov. 13. Hooker is the trailblazing psychologist whose research showed that homosexuality Is not a mental illness. After his Oscar-wirming "The Times of Harvey Milk," Richard Schmiechen has focused his documentary camera on a six-foot-tall straight gal from Colorado. Now 84 years old, the charismatic Dr. Evelyn Hooker is a lively and engaging storyteller as she reflects on her pioneering career. Hooker's research startled the world by asserting that there is no difference between gay and non-gay psychological profiles. Homosexuals are not, by definition, "sick." In 1974, the weight of Hooker's continued studies and others, along with gay activism, forced the American Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality from its official manual of mental disorders. The new 75-minute, 16-mm color film is titled "Changing Our Minds: The Story of Dr. Evelyn Hooker." It is narrated by Patrick Stewart, best known as Captain Jean-Luc Picard on "Star Trek: The Next Generation." Evelyn Hooker earned her PhD at Johns Hopkins, then moved to California during the hysteria we now call McCarthyism. "Perverts Called Government Peril," ran a headline in the New York Times. "G.O.P. Chief Says They Are as Dangerous as Reds." When this twisted rhetoric appeared, the basic image of the sick, desperate, criminal queer was nothing new. For decades, medical doctors had been trying to obliterate homosexuality with appalling "treatments": lobotomy, castration, hysterectomy, and electric shock. Schmiechen shows glimpses of these atrocities in startling archival footage. At first, the young Dr. Hooker's contacts with homosexuals revealed a truly gay life. Home-movie clips show her entertaining gay author Christopher Isherwood and other wellto-do friends at a backyard party. Then, she recounts, a gay student at UCLA introduced her to the underground world of average people terrorized by vice squads and violence. He begged her to study "people like us," hoping she could bring scientific reason to the cause of human dignity. Reluctantly at first, Hooker began a course of research that ultimately led to a radical conclusion: the medical profession was wrong about lesbians and gay men. "Every man who came to me put his occupation, his job, his reputation at stake," Hooker recalls, "because of the possibility that he might be followed there and that somebody else might learn his secret, namely that he was gay. So it was indeed a very perilous time." A compelling role model, Hooker made great gains in the scientific understanding of human sexuality. With an open mind and the courage to challenge conventional wisdom, she revealed evidence essential to gay self-esteem and acceptance. Daily Variety calls this new film presentation of her work "documentary education at its most exciting and enjoyable," and predicts "recurrent major TV exposure." Let's hope it changes a few more minds. "Changing Our Minds" will open the fourth annual Gay and Lesbian Film and Video Festival. A short film, "Where the Cows Go" by Maggie Ford, will also be shown. Tickets are $10 for the showing at 8 pm, Friday, November 13, in the Rich Auditorium at the High Museum of Art. For more information call MAGE at 3524225.

It is a frothy, fun-filled evening with an inside look at the paper moon reality world of show biz. Along the merry way we pick up some miscellaneous tidbits of wisdom about friendships and getting older and wiser. The Playhouse scored a big hit last summer with its production of Sondheim's "Into the Woods." This presentation of an obscure Sondheim composition does present some special problems for the Playhouse's small but elegant stage. The 18-member cast sometimes seemed to be dancing in one another's laps. Regardless of the tight quarters, everyone, including the audience appeared to be having a good time. The story, taken from a book by George Furth, revolves around a 25-year friendship extending back to 1957. As the events of a sucessful composer/producer's life unfold, the cast becomes progressively younger until, in the final scenes, we see them as young adolescents. Becoming 25 years younger in the space of two hours is a true challenge, and the fine ensemble handles it well. I especially enjoyed the changing fashions, as the hands of time ran backwards from cocaine chic to go-go boots and leopard skin coats. Marian English is particularly good as she rejuvenates herself from an old lush to a starry eyed girl gazing into the night sky on the roof tops of New York. She remains the true blue helper and defender of the self-centered producer because, in her heart of hearts, she hopes he will someday look up and really see her. The producer's other best buddy, played by Jeff Biering, is about as socially adept as an Easter Island tortoise. He is nonetheless, very engaging, and handles the difficulty, quirky tunes of the musical with aplumb. Wendy Harned gets the best bitch award as the composer's second wife. She is a snooty fashion conscious beauty whose high heels never notice where she's stepping. Her first husband, played by Jeffrey A. Cohen, is the devil in the guise of a hit-hungry Broadway producer who destroys the lead with an insatiable lust for wealth and power. His accent wanders from Rocky to Brando, but his strong singing voice is never off base. Daniel L. Carne, as Franklin Shepard, the composer/producer has a difficult time establishing his likability with the audience. He is, after all, an insensitive egocentric individual who climbs to success on the back of his friends and two broken marriages. He's the sort of fellow who has an affair on opening night while his wife is in the hospital having their first baby. The fine voice of Mr. Came, last year's Star Search Atlanta male vocalist winner, helps bring the audience into his corner but it cannot win their hearts. The rest of the cast trades off cameo roles with varying degrees of success. Rob Roberts is particularly amusing in a number of bad toupees. His talk show host was deftly handled. This play is simply not one of Sondheim's best works. It closed after only 14 performances in its 1981 Broadway debut. Its songs, while lively and melodic, do not remain with you, and even the fine singing of the cast does not hide the fact that there isn't a single hit song in the entire score. Still, it's a frolicking evening of theatre, and one that will lift your spirits and delight your heart. Keep an eye out for the final productions of Neighborhood Playhouse's '92 season. Pamela Parker will have a world premiere of her play "Home for Christmas" on December 9th, running through the 19th. GALE RETER •Available at Box Office, Tic kelMastcr or 249-6400.

DANCE PREVIEW ACTS or loin The upcoming concert of Louise Runyon Barth Dance Company, Acts of Love, depicts many kinds of love—male/female; female/female; woman/self; and within a community, represented by a diverse group of black, white, men and women dancers. Nurturing, sensuality and play are the essence of the evening. In "In Kind," a premiere celebrating mutually supportive relationships, dancers hold each other and are held in every permutation of black/ white/male and female; the piece is set to the music of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, as is Barth's new solo, "Everything's Not So Serious." Also to be shown are "What Was It You Wanted," an intimate, wrangling duet for Barth and Susan Keller, and "Leaving It All Up To You," a new cowboy duet for Barth and Martin Keefer. "Dolls/Careless Love" contains diverse images of women and duets for adult and child female puppets; it deals with integrating child and adult selves and affirming one's sexuality. Long-limbed dancer-puppets appear as friends, lovers, mother and daughter, as Barth manipulates and dances with them. Originally produced at the Center for Puppetry Arts, the piece has been expanded to five sections. "Hearts and Water" draws a portrait of Barth's mother as a strong, fighting woman who succumbs to symbols of independence offered women of that generation—"smoking, drinking and cussing." Barth uses humor, irony, celebration and pathos to detail family alcohol consumption and come to peace with her childhood. Performances are at 8 p.m. Friday-Sunday, November 20-22 at Seven Stages, 1105 Euclid Avenue. Tickets are $10, $8 in advance and are available at Charis Books, International Records and Oxford Books (Peachtree Battle). For reservations, call 523-7647.

Bratcher �SOUTHERN NOVEMBER VOICE Back in the early spring of this year, I told you about Jody Hanvey, a visual and performance artist who was to be included in an upcoming book by Madonna and photographer Steven Meisel. That was then and this is now and the controversial book is causing quite a stir across the country since its recent release. Sex, as we all know by now, features the Blond One in various settings, including S/M fantasies and lesbian linkings. The operative word here is 'fantasy' and this is what Hanvey seeks to stress. The foreward of the book clearly states that the photos are a peek into the sexual imagination of one of the most interesting women of this century, and are not to be confused with the work-a-day world of reality. Hanvey's inclusion as the most prominent model in the book (after Madonna) came about after Madonna saw two of his near nude vocal performances at underground parties in New York. He was approached in the dressing room by a thin young man with a dark moustache. They chatted until Hanvey excused himself in order to change clothes whereupon the stranger removed the moustache and Madonna was revealed. This meeting was the first of many, some taking place in Madonna's deco apartment overlooking Central Park. Jody brought his experience as an art director and photographer as well as his personal message of safe sex to the book. His original idea was to have the words "Safe Sex" superimposed over his body, recreating the look he often employs in his own club appearances. But Madonna disagreed, saying that her book was about a fantasy world where AIDS does not exist. As a whole though, Hanvey stresses that "Sex" is about safety. It is "visual sex" and therefore the safest possible sex. As he says, "You can't catch anything sucking someone's toes—you can't catch anything dripping hot wax on anyone." In his numerous performances across the country at AIDS benefits, Hanvey encourages his audiences to reach beyond the merely sexual to the realm of sensuality, to explore new and unique ares of erogenous pleasure. Hanvey also laments the gay community's singular reliance on condoms, pointing out that they are far from infallible. According to Hanvey, "The use of condoms removes responsibility—we need to promote other activities." His audience pleasing act includes laser lights, body paint, and backup dancers and has left audiences sweating on both immm HOURS DANNY ROBLE Jody Hanvey is a prominent figure in Madonna's new book "Sex." coasts. But Jody's professional endeavors go beyond the realm of nightclubs and photographer's sets. He is the art director of the CBS daytime soap opera promo campaign known at "Try Me." He is also involved in the production of music videos, most recently doing Atlantic Star's "Masterpiece" and currently working on a new video for Warner's. Midtown Travel 800-548-8904 404-872-8308 Tvl By Russell 800-762-1039 404-493-4941 12/1992 Most familiar to Atlantans are Hanvey's cards and jewelry which he creates using photos of himself and others emblazoned with messages of safe sex and monogamy. Also spotted at this year's Pride March were several hundred of his heavy silver chains adorned with an unmistakable pink triangle. There is more to come from Hanvey as well as Our Lady of Ambition, Madonna. Look the the Material Girl to be in our city in early '93 for a benefit, sans moustache. Atlanta donned its Halloween finery and partied from dusk til dawn. In clubs, bars, warehouses, and homes across the city, costumed celebrants of All Hallows Eve drank and laughed and danced, starting in one location and continuing on to the next. My own odyssey took me to Club Men, where Daisy Chain emceed the show of nearly nude male dancers, then to a party in Buckhead. Next stop was Velvet, followed by an early morning wrap-up at the Cove. One friend was disappointed in the "I'm too cute for a costume" atmosphere at the bar he chose and went to Dunk and Dine where he had such a good time among the costumed revelers he stayed three hours. Recently, I enjoyed the Morningside Tour of Homes, which afforded me the opportunity to peer into the homes of various families and couples. Is anything more interesting than seeing how the other half lives? This weekend offers the chance to see how two artists work as sculptor Stephen Smith and painter/designer Ray Pierotti invite us into an open studio and garden. Saturday and Sunday, November 14 and 15, from 2 until 5 pm, the public is invited (with special invitation to gay and lesbian friends) to enjoy the art and the setting. The location is 1594 Friar Tuck Road, near the Ansley Park Golf Course. Smith's sculptures are crafted using the lost wax bronze process. He will display fifteen or so sculptures around the garden. Pierotti creates multi-layered paintings as well as unique window treatments and free-standing screens in fabric. For further information call 874-6672 or 355-2004. Make plans to catch Contentious and Precious at Nexus Contemporary Art Center. This group exhibition of crafts includes textiles, weaving and sculpture, with much of the works coming from a jewelry and silversmithing tradition.

But neither cholesterol consciousness nor competition has stopped the owners of the Outback Steakhouse from giving the Atlanta market a try. And if crowds are any indicator—we waited 15 minutes for a table at the Toco Hills location on a recent Wednesday night when the Braves were playing and virtually every other restaurant in town was bare to the walls—they're doing just fine, thank you. Critical comment has been generally first rate, too. There is, in fact, much to like about the way Outback looks and operates, as well as the food that it serves. The big rectangular room, with a mighty fancy inlaid bar in the center, hosts a collection of booths and tables, many individually lit. Despite the crowds, wood floors, TVs in the bar, and Muzak in the dining room, the noise level is amazingly low and unobtrusive.

Decatur Rd. and Clairmont Rd. 728-0041 Salads (free with steaks, an extra S2 with other entrees) come in house or Caesar varieties. The former, a simple mix of greens, fat onions rings and tomatoes, is probably preferable to the latter, which seems inundated with the taste of parmesan cheese and black pepper. Were it not for their fiber content, I'd avoid both. Steaks are another matter altogether. The menu's most popular offering, a 12 ounce center-cut sirloin is thick, lean, moist, tender and as flavorful as any similarly priced ($10.95) offering in town. Our waitron bragged about the fact that it was rubbed with "18 spices," most of which were blessedly not apparent in the eating. Also offered: three sizes of prime rib, a filet, a NY strip, a porterhouse and a rib eye. The baked potato that accompanies steaks is hot, fluffy and packed with flavor—first rate. "Aussie chips," offered as an alternative, are naught but ordinary fries—neither outstanding nor dreadful. Danish baby back ribs are advertised as both smoked and grilled. There's not much evidence of the former, though they are lean, meaty, and presented in a tencherman-sized portion, with good, spicy barbecue sauce. I'd be more enthusiastic about the ribs, were not a similar offering at Skeeters, just around the corner, just a little leaner and a little more tender. For those who eschew red meat, there are several seafood offerings. Sauteed shrimp (the same large, mild crustaceans referred to earlier) served with mushrooms and herbed butter over fettucine is the only one that I've tried. It's better than just decent, but both the steak and ribs are a better bet. If you want to eat red meat and not feel quite so guilty in the process (at least about the fat and calories) try a side of steamed veggies with your steak. The portion is large, the assortment varied and the texture just-cooked crisp. Way better than lackluster salads. Though its burdened with a too-cute name, "chocolate thunder from down under" is one of the best brownie, ice cream and hot chocolate sauce combinations that I've ever had—and plenty for three or four to share, especially if you've had an appetizer. The wine list is short, simple, mostly Australian and fairly priced. At $3.65 a glass and $13.95 a bottle, Seppelt's Cabernet-Shiraz blend is a particularly good choice with red meat. Service is fast and (perhaps a little too) friendly, though not quite up to the level of smarmy. Expect to spend $15 to $20 a head for 2 1/2 courses, and maybe a little alcohol. The Outback located closest to town is at 2145 LaVista Road. It is open seven nights a week for dinner only; outlets in the 'burbs also serve lunch. �SOUTHERN VOICE NOVEMBER Homo Home Video: The San Francisco AIDS Foundation, Falcon Studios, and Frameline (the folks who sponsor the S.F. Gay & Lesbian Film Festival) have joined forces to promote an erotic safe sex video contest. And you need not be a big studio to win; special mention will be given to the best home and best commercial videos. Entry categories are also divided into videos of less than 10, 30, and 60 minutes. The press kit that we have seems to imply that only male/male tapes will be accepted, but it never actually comes out and says so, thus Dish encourages both women and men erotic videophiles to write to Homo Home Video, The Erotic Safe Sex Video Contest, PO Box 426182, San Francisco, CA 94142-6282 for entry particulars. THERE'S 1 FINE LINE BETWEEN TELLING THE TRUTH AND T 12/1992 tion is made of how many reckless kids with spray paint cans have been sent to the pokey. A group named "Friends of Arabia Mountain" has formed to try to take the park back from "undesirables." From The Lavender Locker: Are there queers in Idaho? Evidently so. One Ms. Diane Anderson is in the process of compiling "essays, interviews, poetry, prose, fiction, artwork, and photographs" on the subject of coming to terms with one's (homo)sexuality. If you'd like to make a submission, send it to Ms. Anderson at 544 1/2 S. Sixth Ave., Pocatella ID 83201. If you need more info give her a call at 208/233-5709. High Fat, High Profit: Dish is sure that you will rest easier to know that Atlanta is the "only McDonald's market in the country with multiple hospital locations." Grady, Northside, and now Hughes Spalding Children's Hospital at Grady have their very own dispensaries of high fat, low fiber food. We are not prone to believing in conspiracies, but Dish wonders what sort of collusion has to go on to allow such unhealthy food to be served at what are supposed to be healing institutions—especially public ones and those that serve children. Quote Of the Week: Actually it's from months ago, from George Bush at a livestock and rodeo event in Texas: "Ours is a great state, and we don't like limits of any kind. Ricky Clunn is one of the great bass fishermen. He's a Texas young guy, and he's a very competitive fisherman, and he talked about learning to fish wading in the creeks behind his dad. He in his underwear went wading in the creeks behind his father, and said—as a fisherman he said its great to grow up in a country with no limits." And this man has had his finger on the nuclear trigger for four years. Scary. Witchery on Arabia Mountain: Dish is indebted to the DeKalb News/Sun for letting us know that "homosexual witchcraft" has been officially reported (in the same breath as "Klan activities") at South DeKalb's amazing Arabia Mountain Park. Now let it be known that Dish has personally taken part in such activities (the homo witchery, not the white hat bigot stuff) at this moon-like landscape, and that we find it a perfect place to commune with both nature and various and sundry Goddesses (and even a few Gods.) What we find truly scary at ML Arabia are all the broken beer bottles and tasteless graffiti scattered about by the rednecks who also use the park. The News/Sun articles claims that there have been more than 20 sting-like arrests for "illegal homosexual activities" in the Park. No men- Under Attack: It may not be easy to watch, but it's a necessary and worthwhile endeavor. What is it? A movie entitled "Under Attack." U.A. is being produced by Testing the Limits—the non-profit group that made "Voices From the Front," the excellent documentary on AIDS activism—and is about the "root causes of the epidemic of hate and violence sweeping the nation." When the film is finished it will be distributed by Frameline and likely be seen at lesbian and gay film festivals as well as on public TV. Since the election is over and no one will be hitting you up for campaign contributions any more, may Dish suggest that you send $35 or $50 to help this worthwhile project along? Make your check to Testing the Limits/AMIC at 39 W. 14th Street, Suite 402, New York, NY 10011.

When Yankee gardenwhat's so great about A—V ing friends sneeringly ask off a number of things. Georgia gardening, I rattle But what cuts the deepest is when I smirkingly taunt "tomatoes 'til Thanksgiving." So long as there's plenty of mulch and night-time temps over 40°, you can pick well into November. And if you pot up peppers now, not only can they fruit into the winter, they'll bear earlier and bigger than new ones next summer. Now, all this may lend an illusion of a six month long summer. However, we know that leaf fall irrevocably signifies Autumn, despite anomalies. For instance, that September cold snap followed by rains fooled one of my azaleas and two iris into counterfeit Spring bloom. Autumn also means we bring potted tropicals inside. Since the dwarf orange and the bougainvillea live in massive 25" clay pots, once they're in, they stay put until Spring. Painfully, I've learned that cats can be lethal: shredding leaves, chewing stems, digging up roots, urinating that concentrated piss into the soil, etc. You need a viable cat strategy in order to keep felines and tropicals indoors. One year, I tried shade netting tacked around the soil.. .unsuccessfully. This year, we built a wall to create a small cat-free space. Now, I can keep my girls at home, in front of those west windows, under three grow lights (they're not very high-energy; one isn't adequate). To insulate the pots from the cold concrete-slab floor, I piled newspapers over the floor, and covered these with plastic. That's indoor stuff. Outdoors, Fall clean-up continues. Cut back browned parts of perennials. Pull up spent annuals. Want volunteers? Shake out full seedheads. Don't want volunteers? Keep seedheads intact when removing. Hate Black Spot on roses? Get all the old mulch up and away, replacing with clean stuff. Old mulch harbors the Black Spot virus, as well as other pests. Mound the mulch around the base of the bush 5-6", to prevent any frost damage later. I mulch everywhere, with leaves (shredded or not), wood chips, and pine straw. After clean-up, put the gleanings into the 12/1992 EARTHSHAKIN' OBSERVATIONS compost pile—if it's disease free. And if you don't have a compost pile (barbarian!!), start one. There are dozens of how-to books available. I use a 55 gallon black drum which once held liquid soap. Divide irises which need it—i.e., either overcrowded, or didn't bloom well. Trim the fans down to about 4", and don't mulch heavily—Iris Borers love mulch hideouts. Want more blooms on the mums? Deadhead 'em (i.e. keep pulling off spent blossoms). And make sure camellias get enough water now, to ensure later blooms. While you're at it, remove raspberry canes which bore fruit, or are weak. Now, as if all this wasn't enough to keep us busy, November is the plantingest month here. It's the height of pansy planting season. One year, my pansies lasted 12 months, until I got sick of them. This is the time to stick in balled and burlaped trees, shrubs, ornamentals, roses, rooted cuttings, etc. And don't neglect cool-weather veggies: lettuce, Chinese cabbage, broccoli, carrots, collards, peas, etc. Finally, love and ladle in those Spring bulbs. Of course, good soil prep is a must here, with lots of well-rotted manure and compost dug in. Bone meal (or roadkill) supplies necessary nitrogen and phosphorus. My freezer and fridge have been hosting hyachinth, narcissi, grape muscari, and anemone bulbs for weeks. I'll be planting them out at the requisite depths, with the proper up/down orientation, by December. Soak anemones overnight if you hope to have them come up. Post-season regrets? Weil, I wish I'd done onions again this year. They provide sure-fire prognostication: "Onion skin very thin, mild winter's coming in; onion skin thick and tough, coming winter cold and rough." We'll see. EARTH ALERT: ONE BILLION BULBS A YEAR That's how many we plant in this country alone. But this very success has proven disastrous for some wild species and their ecosystems. Wild bulbs are collected by the poor in countries such as Turkey, S. Africa, Spain, and even here, with no regard for the plant's ability to continue propagating itself, or other species dependent upon the plants. Should we then live without Spring bulbs? Certainly not! But we need to make sure that what we put into the ground doesn't come from threatened or wild-collected species. So watch those small, early-bloomers in particular, or anything labelled "wild," "species," or "botanicals." Find out the bulb's origin. Did your retailer propagate it in their own nursery? Look askance at an answer such as "commercial sources." The following list, compiled by the World Wildlife Fund, provides a starting point for consciousness raising in this area. AMARYLLIS FAMILY Galanthus. Avoid G. ehvesii (always wild origin); Leucojum, particularly L. vernum. Avoid L. aestivum; Narcissus. Avoid N. triandrus albus and N. tazetta. LILY FAMILY Chiondoxa, especially C. sardensis, C. tmoli, and C. lucillae; Colchium species. (I'm very sorry to know this; I love these); Erythorium, except "Pagaoda," which is a propagated hybrid; Fritillaria. Avoid F. persica "Adiyamen;"L;7i'wn. Many species are propagated, but exercise caution when buying L. martagon; Scilla species. Grows readily in cultivation, but large numbers are still exported from Turkey. Exercise some caution; Trillium, expecially T. grandiflorum. (When you attend the Botanical Garden's annual plant sale, ask about this one); Tulipa. Species that do not offset easily probably come from the wild, particularly T. undulatifolia, T. hageri, T. praecox, and T. pulchella hwnilis. ORCHID FAMILY Fleione species; Cypripedium, especially C. acauie. (raise a stink at the annual Flower show). PRIMROSE FAMILY Cyclamen, except from specialized nurseries, which propagate from stock. C. mirabile may be exported from Turkey as C. purpurascens. RANNUNCULACEAE Anemone. Blue or mixed stocks of A. blanda may be from the wild; Eranthis, particularly E. hyemalis and E. cilicia.

LAINEY RICHARDSON Age:35 How long In Atlanta: Native Relationship status: Almost 6 years Last book road: "Love and Profit: The Art of Caring Leadership" by James Autry Pot posvo: "Just move on. Next Question..." Dr. Lainey Richardson has spent much of her life in prison. But, she says she feels comfortable there. "I have a personality that works well in prison," she explains. "I like to scream and cuss, and as long as you're not screaming and cussing at anyone in particular, they don't get upset with you." But, unlike most others at the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary, she gets to go home every night. Lainey is the Coordinator of the Drug Abuse Program at the prison, a job that has taught her a lot. As a psychology major at Auburn Univ., she worked at a Youth Correctional facility. When she received a Masters from Eastern Kentucky Univ. ("the cheapest university in the nation") she began working as a Mental Health Counselor in Georgia's prison system. She has been at the Federal Pen since receiving a Doctorate from Florida Tech in 1991. Spending all that time with inmates has sparked a conflict in Lainey. When she reads accounts of horrible crimes in the newspaper she says her first reaction is "fry 'em," but seeing these criminals on a day to day basis can change things. "A lot of these guys I have worked with, it's just sad," she explains. "Their families are so messed up, they were headed for prison from day one. It taught me how to separate the behavior from the person. I can honestly say there was only one person who I could find no redeeming qualities in." Her work has led her to other revelations, too. "Prison is not the answer. We're putting money in the wrong area. We need to put money in the educational system, teaching parenting skills, providing pre-natal care and job training. The way society is going right now, we're not going to stop producing crimi- DENTAL OFFER Expires ll/30A2f Robert V. Schmidt, D.D.S. 128 North Avenue, Suite 200 (404) 872-2717 HUNDREDS OF PRODUCTS TO RELAX YOUR BACK! nals," she concludes. When not behind bars, Lainey enjoys time with her partner of nearly six years, Linnie, and their mixed family; dogs Petey and Buster, and cat Sara. Linnie stayed in Georgia while Lainey worked on her Doctorate for two years in Florida. "It was a trying time, as my Visa card can attest," says Lainey. When she returned to Atlanta, they didn't want to move in right away and waited until June of 1991. "We didn't want to rush it, so we didn't, thank you. We live well together though." They must be doing something right. They will have a commitment ceremony on their sixth anniversary in February, and honeymoon in Cozumel. Lainey has worked for several years in the gay and lesbian community, and has served on the Business Guild, and the GAPAC board among others. She also has taught gay sensitivity classes to law enforcement officers, and students at DeKalb Community College. "There are always two or three idiots," she comments, "but they're young and misguided. I always go in with the attitude that I'm not going to change their opinion and that's fine, I just want them to be informed. "During my presentation, I will say, 'I've been involved with a woman for years now, and I'd like someone to tell me how that has affected their lives.' They have no answer."

IT WILL BE YOURS AND YOURS ALONE The freedom of owning your own home cannot begin to compare to the restrictions that renters experience. You can paint the walls the color you desire or hang a picture where you want. You cannot be asked to leave when the owner decides to sell, and your payment is to the bank and to you, not to a landlord. 2. LIFE-STYLE When you live in a neighborhood or a community that is primarily occupied by owners, you have a mutual interest in its maintenance and its up-keep and improvement. Most Atlanta neighborhoods have a neighborhood association or, in the case of condos and townhomes, associations for those as well. Each of your neighbors is as invested as you are in the value of your home. 3. EQUITY BUILD-UP Rental payments disappear once you have made them. But with each monthly mortgage payment you are buying something tangible, and building up your equity. The longer you own, the larger your equity. There have been many who have spent their retirement, sent children to college, traded up in total lifestyle, or were able to afford vacations that would not have been possible without the equity they built up in their homes. 4. KEEP UP WITH INFLATION A home is an investment that helps you keep up with inflation. Although not every home will appreciate at the same rate and some years are better than others, real estate has historically kept pace with and usually appreciated faster than the rate of inflation. 5. INCOME TAX BENEFITS All interest paid out on a mortgage is deductible for income tax purposes. And in the first few years of a mortgage, most of your payment is interest. Also, keep in mind that property taxes are deductible. For specific information and amounts, consult a tax specialist. 6. PAYBACK ON IMPROVEMENTS A renter who makes any property improvements gets no financial benefits from them should he or she relocate. But as a homeowner, you can realize some or perhaps all of the cost of improvements when you sell. MORTGAGE SHOPPING?

Well, it's one word. If you wonder why a film about two gay men would receive NEA funding, consider that Nathan Leopold, Jr. and Richard Loeb were the John Wayne Gacy and Jeffrey Dahmer of the "Roaring '20s." Previous films about the lethal couple, "Rope" (1948) and "Compulsion" (1959), couldn't use their real names and could only hint at their sexuality. "Swoon" manages to provide more facts in less time, but draws fewer conclusions. Writer, director, editor and co-producer Tom Kalin masterfully condenses the crime, the trial and the prison terms into a brisk 92 minutes with plenty of time for arty touches—a Greek chorus of flappers and drag queens, and atmospheric shots of water and leaves. When it's over you'll know Leopold and Loeb were homosexuals and that they kidnapped and murdered 13year-old Bobby Franks in 1924. If and how you connect these facts is up to you. Coincidence? Cause and effect? What happens the next time a basher says, "This is for Bobby?" Okay, "Swoon" is a good movie. It's got humor, romance and a vicious bludgeoning. What more could you ask for? Craig Chester (Nathan) and Stallone clone Daniel Schlachet (Dick) appear to be posing at first, but have the goods in reserve when the dramatics start Jewish critics will have their own take on "Swoon," as both youths were Jewish—although here they drift in and out of the faith: Nathan says he ceased to be Jewish when his mother died and Dick uses his Catholic mother as an excuse to deny his Jewishness; but when asked point blank whether they're Jewish they both say yes. One of the big surprises in the picture is seeing the nervous, somewhat effeminate Leopold top the hairy, confident Loeb in bed. Nathan tells his shrink of a fantasy of being on an island and having Dick as his slave. In addition to their Nietzschean superiority to the rest of the world, Craig Chester as Nathan Leopold, Jr. and Daniel Schlachet as Richard Loeb in "Swoon," opening Nov. 20 at The Screening Room. Leopold had to be superior to Loeb as well; but we learn later that Loeb was rationing sex to make Leopold participate in his escalating crimes. There's a lot of narrating, as if from the youths' journals. Entries bounce back and forth confusingly between 1923 and 1924; I advise you to ignore the dates and just watch the action, which advances quickly enough to the kidnapping and murder, the investigation, the arrest, the interrogation and the trial. There's a romantic moment early on when "Babe" (Nathan) and "Dickie" don wedding rings, and another near the end—at least I found it romantic—when Nathan sees Dick for the last time. Such elements make us want to care THE ADVENTURE NEVER ENDS. for the pair, but their crime rules that out. So just root for Kalin, who has rehashed the case in a way that leaves you nostalgic for the good old days when a single killing was enough to make headlines and inflame the country against "perverts." Shooting in black and white to blend with archival footage so that "Swoon" resembles a queer "Zelig," Kalin uses anachronisms—touch-tone phones and all-digit phone numbers in prison graffiti—more sparingly than Derek Jarman, and with no apparent reason other than budgetary. If "Swoon" weren't made by one of us, I'd picket it; but since it was, I'll recommend it. STEVE WARREN We're here.
