EftirJ. e perfectly dear about What it is they're opposing, 1 ' But Rotello falls into name- calling when he tries to define what his opponents in die les¬ bian and gay movement stand for. They advocate covering up the truth about gay celebri¬ ties. he claims, so they're in favor of journalistic lying and deception. Nonsense? No journalists ever toll all ihe (ruth they know. All journalists keep a large number of facts confidential for a lot of practical and ethical reasons. Rniello's guidelines are about precisely that: what no/to say, and why. Pro-equal- izers and anti-outers don't dis¬ agree about truth vs. lies: they disagree about whether to dis¬ close the sexual orientation of a fairly specific category of people: only those celebrities (Ihe ones not likely to be dam¬ aged in their careers or with their families, etc.) who are outside of Rotello's guidelines. Rotelfo states that without such candor, “an end to homo¬ phobia... will never become pos¬ sible." I don't agree. ITs a tacti¬ cal and ethical mistake to dis¬ close the orientation of anybody, including celebrities, who doesn't make a choice to disclose it. Itfc the wrong way to combat homophobia. Peter Wilson Manhattan If essays can be judged by iheir ability to sway opinion. then Gabriel RoTello's piece on Outing and equalizing should take its place among the more important essays on recent gay history. Having been totally, absolutely opposed to the idea of outing since I first heard the word, J now find myself in the position of having to say I was Wrong Or. at least, misinformed about the practice. After first reading the piece, f felt that the problem was that Mr. Rotello was pro¬ pounding a new. humans approach with which I could agree, while still disagreeing with the rabid-dog approach of Mr. Signorile. But when f looked over back issues of Out- Week to see where Ihe two edi¬ tors diverged. I have to admit that really they don’t. R seems that Mr. Signorile. without ever explicitly saying so, has been following Ihe guidelines in Mr. Rotello's article all along. Tbe difference between the two is more tone than anything else. Signonle says. “AGREE WITH ME-Ofi YOU'RE A SELF- HATING PIECE OF SHIT!" Rotello may or may not have the same feelings, but he attempts to persuade and uses logic and compassion for those who don’t yet agree, hoping that eventually they will. Both approaches may have their place, but this reader can report that until now, Sig- norire's approach had totally turned me off, not jus! to him but 10 the principles he es¬ poused. whereas Rotelfo's approach has turned me into a convert overnight. The surprising thing is that, obviously, the iwo editors agree on the basics. GufkVfeefrmust be an interesting place to wortc Marty Kuhn Manhattan Thinking about the guide¬ lines tor outing in Gabriel Rotello's excellent essay. I real¬ ized there is one more which he forgot to mention but which OutWeek has actually followed. That is: Only engage in “equal' izing" when the topic is news¬ worthy; in other words, when there is a reason for writing that a public figure is gay. You have actually done this in the homophobic past. David Geffen was promoting Guns YT Roses, tor example, or Jodie Foster was starring in a homophobic fi lm, or Sandra Bernhard was pretending to sleep with Madonna and then publicly denying it. etc. But there’s always a newsworthy reason—you never just print “so-and-so is gay" for the heck of it, Ihe way the fiat tonal Enquirer does. What they do is outing. What you do. you might call equalizing—I just call it good journalism. Martm Ranney Brooklyn LIZA WITH A ZZZZZ?

Frank Gumm (Judy's father), was gay, and several books have told stones about town gossip forcing Ihe la miry to constantly move. Liza's brother. Joey Loft. is gay. as was Judy's third husband, Mark Herron, one of Liza's stepfathers. In Micky Rooney's new book, he talks about the diva herself, Judy Garland, being a lesbian. Finally, there’s talk Shat Liza rs in foci a sister, and when she’s not glam onstage or in frMlf of a cam¬ era. she's quite butch in pri¬ vate with k.d. lang, one of her 'best friends.'

Mark admits ACT U P/NY made a mistake in joining forces with super politician Dr. Anthony Fauci's endorse mem ol parallel track. Parallel track was a bad idea bom In desperate times. Parallel track gave Fauci an out to look united wrth the activist's goals white really not accepting our demands. Bottom lioE, parallel track enables the pharmaceutical companies to experiment in human subjects highly ques¬ tionable and possibly toxic drugs Without the usual moral obligation and responsibility to inform and follow up fully the recipients of their drugs. Even more outrageous is the freedom from financial and medical responsibility lor the long-term side effects these experiments on desper¬ ate human subjects may cause. The pharmaceutical companies were given this “freedom" by the likes of Har¬ rington. Martin Delaney and Larry Kramer in their irre¬ sponsible. desperate attempt to find a 'cure’ that works against AIDS. This gang ol three previ¬ ously had joined femes with Ihe first family of AZT, Mar¬ garet Fischel. MO. Paul Volvt- bing, MO. and Sam Browder.

Each of these drugs are slight variations on the same basic AZT formu la. A2T doesn't work. In fact, as stimulant tor long-term sur¬ vival. it is deadly. Why does this gang, push fpr mure of the same kinds of toxic drugs? Did they learn nothing from AZT? Do We ddl deaths from pancreatitis, pneu¬ monia and those sifffanng per¬ manent neuropathy mean nothing? Is not quality cf life as important a principle as being kept alive? Yes, I do admit these are desperate times. But letting the FDA and tiie government agencies off Hie hook by placing all hope in the interests of pharma- ceulical companies with their own profit motives is, in my opinion, a wrong strategy. A strategy that wilf mean that the very people these activist strategies are designed! to help will become willing sub¬ jects in a strategy lo promote pharmaceutical companies' profile wilh quality of life secondary. How sad. Activists have become willing conspirators in the search for profit by the phar¬ maceutical companies. Yes. we must fight to make the government respon¬ sible to Ihe needs ol its citi¬ zens. Make the FDA responsive to moving with due speed to discover, test, promote and release those substances that will both prolong and improve the quality of living. What we do not need is activists continuing to be the storm troopers for the pharma¬ ceutical companies. I trust Harrington will, as he has clearly demonstrated his commitment to finding a solution. I, and others who share my view, look forward to working with Harrington, etc., to prolong our lives and protect our immune systems and to make quality health care an option for all. Jtmfourad Manhattan Mark Harrington responds: How so if tosoe Jim Fouratt exercising his usual propensity forunreffee- tfve. counterproductive, mali¬ cious misrepresentation, s did not $oy that parallel track woo an error, t said that it was a noble experiment Which could have been improved upon (and hopefully wit, if we get another chance). My proposal was to im¬ prove parallel track by getting answers (‘Does it work?') in addition to access to unap¬ proved therapies. Bristol-Myers has dis¬ tributed ddl to over 20,000 people on parallel track in 13 months. 8y contrast die ACTG has enrolled but 14,000people in its clinical trials over 5 years. By adding randomization (to different doses} to parallel track, we might have Shown by now whether the drug works, enabling its earfy approval (ACT UP proposed this “middle track“ approach in 1990. and it is no w being used by Abbott with clar¬ ithromycin. among others). Fouratfs misrepresenta¬ tion of my (and ACT UPS) posi¬ tion on nucleoside analogues (AIT. dOC. ddl) is as faulty as his spelling of the names of Dm. “Rschel ," “VOfvtbing.'and 'Siowdtr. ’ To my knowledge, ACT UP has never advocated stuff¬ ing these drugs down the throats of those unwilling to take them. Rather, we have advocated that PEOPLE WITH HIV RAVE THE FREEDOM TO MAKE THEIR OWN INFORMED TREATMENT DECISIONS. It is evident that Mr. Fouratt has never been in the agonisng position of having to make such decisions (vis-a-vis acquired immune suppression) himself.

PP$. ff ‘nucleoside ana¬ logues are incompatible with life," as Fouratt and confreres consfentfy chorus, why have no deaths been reported from such nudeosides as acyctovir (Zovirax)? TOTAL OVERHAUL TTiofe is always someone complaining about homosexu¬ al? using the wort "gay," It seem? we have taken a perfect¬ ly good word and ruined it. I never hear those same people make that argument over the wort “queer." The wort homosexual did not exist before the middle of the 19th century. In 1869. a H ungar- ian doctor named Berrtert intro¬ duced a new word; 'homo" from the Greek wort tor "same': and "sexual," thus describing some¬ one who was sexually interest¬ ed in the same sex. I have my own definition for the word “gay" as an alterna¬ tive for the wort “homosexual." It explains wiry the two worts do not mean the same thing. I origi¬ nated this in 1973 while manag¬ ing the San Antonio Country. Being a homosexual only addresses the genitalia. Being gay is a complete mental, physical, political, social, psy¬ chological. religious and spiri¬ tual overhaul. Gene Wesley Oder San Antonio, Texas STRANGE LOGIC I am writing you regarding a book review in the form of an interview, or maybe vice versa, with Jewelle Gomez which appeared in no. 99 {May 22] of your magazine. Ms. Gomez makes a number of interesting comments but one struck me with almost physical force. She states emphatically that gay men would not respond to a health crisis mainly affecting women die way some women, both hel- erosexual and lesbian, have responded to the AIDS crisis. First ot ail. Ms. Gomez, your statement is purely hypo¬ thetical, because a health cri¬ sis. comparable to AIDS, pri¬ marily affecting women has yet to occur. Until this happens you (and everyone else} can only surmise how gay men would respond. Interestingly, you didn't lake your hypothe¬ sis to it's logical conclusion. Since you think gay men would abandon women in such an event, it follows that AIDS worker? who are women Should abandon the AIDS cause and leave the faggot? to die. From your particular Slack lesbian feminist position, they deserve to die anyway, first of all, because they're men and, also of course, because they're sexist—which naturally fol¬ lows. You should have said it, Jewel. Where are your guts? Speaking personally, and perhaps politically incorrectly, you cannot teach this Black gay man anything useful except lhal vengefulness and hatred i? alive and well. There are Black les¬ bians we can Listen to and learn from, but you, Ms. Gomez, clearly are not one of them. Edwin L Greene Cincinnati, Ohio GET POSITIVE Much of what happened at Ihe National Lesbian Confer- ence was parody. It was a showcase for the distinctive: qualities of some of the more viable lesbian subcultures. Apparently, however, it was a lot easier for Carrie Wofford "National Lesbian Confab" [no. S3, May 15] (Of was it her Out- Week editors?) to stand back and scott at the collective prod¬ uct of nearly a thousand les¬ bians than to provide thoughtful and constructive reporting. Apparently, there was infernal sabotage: confusion and rumors were rampant. Institutionally and personally oppressive actions were ram¬ pant. Some of this resulted in forms of hurtful mob mentali¬ ty. BIG SUFI PRISE) We reflect the fucked-up society we live in. Lesbians aren't as special as our own propaganda states. A sense of power and security within a group can happen only when there is access to clear and updated information, and the ability to have input into making changes if needed. Not hav¬ ing this creates distrust, fear and anger. Rathe r than passing along superficial assumptions about this event, an attempt to identi¬ fy'why the NIC was never able to develop a fully functioning steering committee would have been helpful reporting. Ms. Wolford’s choice of content for her article, howev¬ er. is very much like the "hard and mean" conference she described- it feeds the nasti¬ ness and trashing she appears to condemn. Incisive and per¬ ceptive criticism is always needed. But 1 am so disheart¬ ened by the willingness of les¬ bians to belittle and distance themselves from the work of other lesbians. By choosing to imply that the NLC steering committee and stall were inclined toward a combination of naive incompe¬ tence and "p.o" fanaticism. Ms. Wofford does a disservice to them and ateo to addressing the deeper struggles around “lead¬ ership." access and power that are being dealt with in many lesbian communities all around the country. It is such lack of respect toward issues facing lesbians and lesbian organizers which I would think OuiWeek would like to avoi d. I feel especially con¬ cerned about the currently “in" critique and label of “thought police" and "the New McCarthy!sm" applied toward the desire to identify and change historical forms of oppression. Except for the moments when we are per¬ sonally experiencing the silencing or suppression of our own lives, it is definitely easier to ignore domination systems. The apparent irrita¬ tion caused by the sometimes naive, questionably motivated or misguided attempts to name examples of oppression while they are happening may result in self-censorship or public humiliation. Bui equat¬ ing the power of the “anti¬ oppression" movement with the power of institutional oppressions is distortion and REALLY MISSING THE POINT. No one should ever be treated like shit, of course. But, how can the ‘pain" of “being called racist" Of “Worrying" that I'm 267 West 17lh Street (cur Siti Ave) New York 212 255.1150 bLtrwa fK SJ going to say or do the 'wrong' thing he compared In any way to the centuries of dehumanization, mind rape, Cultural rape, physical rape, economic rape, abuse, abuse, abuse, perpetuated by all domination systems? It may also be difficult to equate the economic and structural massiveness of instilutions such as racism or class with the more par¬ ticular discrimination, objec¬ tification or lack of access for people who are fat Or experience the debilitating effects of ‘environmental ill¬ ness.' Hut isn't the signifi¬ cance of each individual's experience of exclusion and dehumanization the same? When do we get it that everyone counts? But like all oiher liberation struggles, marginalization and ridicule always must come before being taken seriously. This is dearly a worfdng- it-out phase that we are in. There are many problems, mistakes, hurt feelings. We also have very stupid and Inadequate language like "isms. - "politically correct' and "oppressions.' Instead of ridiculing attempts to remove the cages that constrict our lives, why nut talk about the effective things people are doing, ir-cluding 3t this con¬ ference? I am also Concerned about She national infatuation with “ multi culturalism" as a strategy. Accurate representa¬ tion and access to resources is always primary. But, more and more people are begin¬ ning to realize what many other people have always said; “Diversity’ often livens up the party lor the dominant Culture, but does little to fun¬ damentally change the bal¬ ance of power, or offer some¬ thing positive lo those newly "included." The work of fight¬ ing the institutional and per¬ sonal shit is siill often left to those who experience it, amidst all the 'acceptance of difference," Rather than ‘inclusion,' isn't it time to stress Ihe historical under¬ standing and interconnection of systemic oppressions, and each of us practicing to change power Imbalances, Tack of access, invisibility as well as false ass um ptions? As Ms. Wofford's article mentioned toward the end. most women saw the plenary sessions tor what they were: some wise speeches, but mostly craziness as women attempted to justifiably seek accountability from a very unhealthy group system. The hurt and anger of years of individual and collective pain, produced panic and cruelty. In dosing, what is inclu¬ sion of the quote attributed to Faiar Bliot, “We'ee all tesbians, but beyond that what do we have to say to each other?' meant to signify?...'GlVE IT UP GIRLS!" ??? I feel this article repre¬ sented a party line of it's own. That of some women who are too experienced, too smart, too used to being in charge to sully their hands ( and repu¬ tations ) with such a messy, naive, grass-mols effort. It's too bad. Their talents could have been well used. The NIC was a massive experiment Rather than only parroting the obvious flaws and failures, why not use three pages to say more thai is useful?

GO GRABARZ 1 would like to commend Democratic Rep. Joe Graban Jr. and Leslie Brett for I heir empowering decision ft pub¬ licly take a stand Tor gay rights by self'identifying as homosexuals (May no. 97). Mr. Era ban’s press confer¬ ence on Ihe steps of the Leg¬ islature demanded that the public face the reality that queers are everywhere; that we are strong, confident indi¬ viduals who contribute to society. His colleagues' com¬ ments prove that secure, cut gay men and lesbians do indeed serve as role models and as living examples or gay life to both the heterosexual and homosexual comm uni¬ ties.

Thank you lor your courage! Joel Reyna, Jr. Davis, Calif. taking a fresh LOOK (AWAY) On the Iromt page of Ihe “Arts and Leisure' section of The New York Times, on Sun¬ day, May 19.1991. John J. O'Connor began an article called "Gay Images: TVs Mixed Signal." by stating: "The mes¬ sage to the medium is blunt: 'It is time fur the television indus¬ try tp realize that 25 million lesbians and gay men in Amer¬ ica. along with our families and friends, make up a significant share of the viewing audience. We are tired of seeing gays represented only as buffoons or villains. 1 " {The statement was from an advertisement published by the GLAADJ. If television and society are being challenged about fair treatment in the media and equal rights for homosexuals, alas, a starting case occurred in ihe New York theater recent¬ ly. A new play called Round If; Gay Life in New York in the 1970$. by the celebrated Amer¬ ican critic and playwright, Eric Bentley, was almost completely ignored by the media with the result that few people saw this important play. Why is it that the television media, The New York Times (where Bentley has published frequently) and other newspapers and magazines— even the Village Voice which published only a tiny squib about tt-HQnored Bentley's lat¬ est play? People who know theater can speculate: 1) The play was produced at the the Wings Theatre, a small mon-Equity theater where the actors were not paid, and theretore the kind of theater that the media does not usually cover; 2) Bentley is widely known as Ihe foremost drama critic of our times, which makes many drama crit¬ ics unwilling to confront his plays. Yet neither of ihese rea¬ sons suffices if ihe media are supposed to have the freedom to cover important events. Last Tuesday night, May 14, with my wife, I attended one of the final performances in the live-week run of Round Hat the Wings Theatre. The direction by Greg Mehnen, the well-known actor and director from Mabou Mines, was per¬ ceptively defined. The music of die 197& lhat Hehrten select¬ ed was enjoyable and perti¬ nent. As for ihe script, Bentley has written a moving variation on Schnitzier's famous play. Reigen, or La Rhond —as in the film—which features a het¬ erosexual round dance of vari¬ ous couples representing the range of Viennese society. Although he includes some at Schnitzier's comic jokes and patterns of behavior. Bentley has created his own winy dia¬ logue lhat illuminates a wide range of New York characters in the free, exploratory sexual climate of the 197fls before AIDS. Bentley’s purpose, as was Schnitzier's, is to portray various types—Jiustl Br. soldier, art student, lawyer, business¬ man, teenager, writer, actor and a civic VIP—who repre¬ sent important social directions Of the period. Finally, the play culminates in the most moving scene of all bciween a gay transvestite actor and a city VlP who is still in the closet and searching out his true sex¬ ual identity. For a moment, these two men fall in kwe and Bentley makes the difference between love and transient sex powerfully apparent. Bentley and Mehrten auditioned many actors for the play and Ihe resultant perfor¬ mances were all competent, with three outstanding perfor¬ mances from Ron Brooker as the hustler. Richard Aid is as the writer, and Harold Gross as ihe transvestite actor. It is a decided shame when an important play by a writer who has contributed so much to the American theater, a play which defines a signilicant period of change and adjust¬ ment in our history, is ignored in this discriminatory way. Is Bentley too controversial in the sympathetic, frank way that he portrays gay sex? Whatever the inadequate rea¬ sons that condemned this production from the consider¬ ation lhat it deserves, it is time for the media to take a new look at the significant cultural events they are supposed to be reporting.

The news of the death was acconv pan Led by information that another PWA, also from New York, died four weeks Jater in Guatemala Ciry shortly after undergoing surgery under the supervision of die same physician. The two men are the second and third known fatalities associated with extra¬ corporeal hypenhemua. The American doctor who was supervising the man's treatment has refused Co acknowledge that he per¬ formed tire operiCxm.

According to Michael Matt, a friend of Santasjera"5 who lives in New York, the cash-up-frunt price tag on the proce¬ dure was $40,000.

Or if there is, he certainly was not around when they were doling it out. Since the parade, Brendan has become ihe subject of a witch hunt at the Carbolic high school where he teaches freshman and junior level reli- studies. The week after the parade, he was hauled before the principal and told dial bis teaching contract would not be renewed. Because he is an Irish citi¬ zen in the United States on a work- related temporary resktenr's visa, he must find anothet job before June or face dcpQftaliQfi.

T EAST VILLAGE SLASHER GETS THREE YEARS NEW YORK—A gay-basher who attacked three gay men in the East Village., slashing open the face of one. will serve a minimum of three years in prison, the district attorney's office announced last week. Anthony Baez, 19, of 629 East 5th St., pleaded guilty to a charge of assault in the first degree on April 25 and was sentenced by Justice Rose Rubin on May 23 lo serve three years to nine years in stele prison. A spokesperson for Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgcnthau said that the length of Baez's sentence was influenced by two unrelated cases in his record. The first was a 1939 criminal weapons possession charge, and the second was a 1991 attempted robbery in ihe first degree. “The reason why he got (his sentence was because this involved a violation of the conditio-n of his probation. Had there rot been that prior conviction, the sentence would have been one and one-third years to four {years]," commented Malt Foreman, director of the New York City Gay and Lesbian Anti-Violence Project, noting again that a statewide bias crimes bill would have ensured a longer sentence for Baez even without the added weight of his prior record:. “I hate to sound like a bro¬ ken record on this, but the only rea¬ son we got this sentence is because he's a two-time loser," —Nina Reyes Soafridk Data Wftd.my JS + iJiWOpi- “jdtffi f 2fl 41 vkvtt iduta: (S cMdffiri; tS m dwph !G*T OCW^ 7 PM 5HUf CH0.1PJL frtr Fft.ta.bit. 4Jrd 4 Akt, cui ip#0juc mm TO BE ON NEW YORK’S HOTTEST GAT DANCE LIST, CALL 212-337-1803. 24 HOURS OUTH4KIK "■ S NOTES FROM HOME Commentary Tribal Instincts by Lowell B.

Dr. Woodrow Myers, who took office in a storm of controversy over Iris AIDS policies as Indiana's health commissioner, has resigned his position to accept a job in ihe private sector. And AIDS activists are calling his departure- an opportunity lor Mayor David Dinkins to pic* a top exec lor the health depart¬ ment who will provide the leadership on AIDS and health issues which they say that Myers never demonstrated, Myers' last day will he June 11, and he will begin work as senior vice president and medical director with the Associated Insurance Companies in his hometown, Indianapolis, in early August, according to health department spokcspcople. Speculation in mainstream media has had Myers frus¬ trated by city budget shortfalls and on the verge of resigning since the start of the year, Budget gaps required Myers to spend much of his first year slashing programs at the health department and allowed little room for new initiatives. Even Reality House-, a program Myers devised to deliver a variety of health services to pregnant, drug-addicted women, was cut this year. At a May £3 press conference, however, Myers denied his resignation was due to fiscal restrictions placed on his agency by the city's budget crisis, in his resignation letter, the commis¬ sioner called the move 'the best course cl action lor my family and myself, 1 ' Myers' resignation letter and Dinkins response did not recount any of the departments accomplishments in Ihe past year and a half, focusing instead on Myers' handling of scandals involving lost Pap smear results and restaurant inspection fraud as the major achievements of his short tenure. Myers took office in March 1330 over the Strident protests of AIDS activists, who objected to My ere' AIDS-related quaran¬ tine policy while he served as Indiana state commissioner of health. The appointment prompted calls tor the resignation of Tim Sweeney, the executive director of Gay Men's Health Crisis, who sat or the Dinkins transition committee that recom¬ mended Myere. The debacle irked activists ail the more because Dinkins had carefully included at least two other gay people on the trans¬ ition team that oversaw many of the administration's appoint¬ ments. But Myers' problematic record did not come to light until OtftWeek published an investigation Of his record in Indiana. AIDS- activists have since been angered by Myers manage¬ ment style, a style health department staff describe as "low* key,' but activists have slammed as a 'lack ol leadership." But activists’ worst fears about quarantine, mandatory testing and contact tracing never materialized under Myers, as the mayor had prom ised they would not. 'I think there's been a vacuum in leadership at the city Jewl on AIDS,' said David Hansell. deputy executive director for pol¬ icy at GMHC. "I hope the Myers departure will give the mayor the Opportunity to appoint someone who can provide the strong, aggressive leadership on AIDS that we've been lacking." Hansell said that GMHC had not been approached to par¬ ticipate on the search committee for a new commissioner, GMHC's Sweeney could not be reached for com merit. Echoing Ihe GMHC sentiment, Robin Kaueter. a member of ACT IIP, told Outwit “In the IS months Myers has been in office, the AIDS crisis has grown worse, and Myers has done nothing. Hopefully, the mayor will appoint someone who can provide some leadership." Kaueter said that ACT IIP had not been approached to join the search committee. Dr. Margaret Hamburg, the department's deputy commis¬ sioner for Family Health Dare Services, will serve as acting com¬ missioner until a search committee, chaired by Dr. June Jackson Christmas, can find a suitable candidate. The city 7 ® charter requires that Ihe commissioner of health be an MD with eight yeans experience and hold a Masters of PubFic Health or a Masters of Business Admintstrebon. —Duncan Ostome 21 Loca l hits ihac have vetoed gay righis laws by voters 1 referenda include Alberts, Ohio.

Bureau Of Investigation has learned to mind its Own business and not go sniffing around in The activities of gay men and lesbians who are Sim¬ ply exercising their First Amend' rtient rights. In July 1990, OudFeeJt, hoping to catch the feds engaging in illegal surveillance, made 64 requests under the Federal Freedom of Information Act to nine different FBI field offices, seeking files on gay and lesbian political Organiza¬ tions, social groups, businesses and AIDS service providers. The FBI responses to those requests, togeth¬ er with documents provided lo GutWx&k By Dan SimiiiOski. a for¬ mer professor of political science at Texas Tech University who made a similar FGIA request in 3982, reveal a pattern of FBI surveillance of gay and lesbian organizations that daces back three decades. In feet, FBI records obtained by Simlnoski on the early gay rights movement run to the thousands of pages, revealing chat I he FBI Snooped on die MatUchinc Society and I he Daughters of Bilitis and later peaked With the surveillance of the Gay Lib¬ eration Front and the Gay Activists Alliance in the 197 , 0s. But OwfWWtfs requests, mainly on groups founded since 1980, yield¬ ed few main files, together with a few unexplained cross-references, sug¬ gesting that the FBI has ceased its spying on the queer community., In the early l95fc, when Matta- chine was just beginning, J. Edgar Hoover* a suspected homosexual who ran (he bureau from 192^ until his death in 1972, apparently became obsessed with the connection between the nascent gay rights movement and the Communists believed lO be hiding under every American bed.

While Harry Hay and other M machine founders were, in fact, active Communist Party members* no conspiracy that would lustily the FBI's extensive surveillance existed. But Hoover, unconvinced, continued to fire off memos to FBI field offices demanding that agents produce the evidence. The surveil¬ lance lasted years. Additionally* the FBI, as late as 1967, used the Mar- cachine file Information to screen federal fob applicants. FBI scrutiny of Mactachine was quire detailed. Among the documents Siminoski obtained is ihe dinner menu from MaMachine's 1959 national conven¬ tion In Denver, The surveillance was extensive as well, Responding to Out Weeks FOlA request,, the FBI said that it currently has *(,600 doc¬ uments on Matfachine and other ear |y gay groups, making The FBI the owner of one of the largest* single sources of archival informa¬ tion on the early gay and lesbian In the early 1950s, J, Edgar Hoover, a suspected homosexual, became obsessed with the connection between the nascent gay rights movement and the Communists believed to be hiding under every American bed.

Frank Kameny, who founded the Vt'^-Sfc]anj$[cji1, DC, chapLer of MjILj- chine in 1961 s reports that he was largely unaware of any FES] surveil¬ lance until August 196+, when he received a call from FBI Agent John A.

When shared the FOIA information with several GAA members, they were not surprised to learn that the FBI had surveyed ihe group, but they were taken aback by the extent of the spy¬ ing. The bureau holds 3B separate files or cross-references on GAA in files on other individuals OT organiza¬ tions. One member of GLF, who requested anonymity, told Out Week that he had direct knowledge of FBI surveillance and added: "It makes sense. ]GIF] was Linked with groups that wore espousing violence,” rear¬ ing to alliances with the Black Pan¬ thers and (he Vmeefctwa Brigade.

The GLF member said, 'If definitely was harassment/ The FBI told Siminoski that they have S3 Cross-references or files on GIF, and OutWee Fs request pro¬ duced one investigative fie in the New York field office which they have yet Ed release. Tbe extensive references to GLF undoubtedly result from the name being commonly used, although (he many GLF* were un affiliated. This vast accumulation of docu¬ ments serve as a Testament to the FBI's paranoia, its conservative nature and its unbridled power under Hoover. Siminoski obtained, in all, 6,500 documents after an 8-year court bank- with the agency. Despite this extensive effort, there is no indication That the FBI uncovered any criminal activity or produced a single anest- Jn addition to the information on the gay and lesbian organizations, there are many references to other leftist groups, including the Black Panthers and the Students for a Democratic Society, revealing an FBI view of the left as a single, monolithic threat, 39 OUTWIIil Jum IS, As far OmWeeKs. 64 FOIA requests, Ten main files pertaining to organizations in the gay and lesbian community have been unearthed to dace.

Currently, where organiza¬ tions ate the main subject oF FBI files, the bureau appears to he engaged in investigating a possible violation of federal law as opposed to surveillance* although there are some in the gay and lesbian, commu¬ nity who would find the laws them¬ selves objectionable.

Henato Corazza, spokesperson for NAMBLA, said, sot as if they arc watching us all the time—even though there is no overt sign the FBI is investigating us now." 5an Francisco’s Project Inform, the AIDS research and advocacy orga¬ nization* is also the subject of a main file held at the Flit's San Francisco field office. According lo the FBI, the file is currently Lost, bul the 5an Fran¬ cisco field office has lold OutWeek that the file's number is UvE, che clas¬ sification concerning “conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer.* The fife was opened in March 1?BT and closed three months Later. Martin Delaney, executive director of Project Inform, speculates that [he file was opened when the feds learned that he and a friend planned a PR slum that involved making a citizen's anest. On murder charges, of Frank Young, then the commissioner of ihe Food and Drug Administration. FBI agents sought an interview with Delaney, who dedmed to speak to the feds on the advice of an attor¬ ney. Delaney received phone calls from the bureau, every Friday afternoon at 2 pm seeking information. Eventual¬ ly the calls stopped* suggesting that the FBI was not overly imercslcd in pursu¬ ing the Project Inform ease. The largest file obtained by Qui~ Week on a current gay organization is Gay Treasures, a Manhattan store sell¬ ing gay male erotica and memorabilia.

In the cj.se of Project -Inform, the argument is weak, but, then, the investigation was not al ail aggressive. Not surprisingly, the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Powef H oa- ACT UP, Is she subject of at least one F&t main file. Originally, all of QulWeetfi requests for records on ACT UP came back in [he negative, with the excep¬ tion of a number of cross-references held in the New York field office. But in April 1991, 11 pages of FBI telex¬ es, obtained under FCXA, arrived at OutWeek Five separate file numbers were listed in the documents, all beginning with a 157 code designat¬ ing "Civil unrest.* 1 Seeking (hose files by number. OulWpek learned [hat the bureau's Los Angeles held office holds one file on ACT UP and FBI headquarters in DC holds the other four, which may or may not have ACT UP as their subject. FBI head- quarters has yet to process, the FQIA request lor the four fiScs- Aecording to FBI spokesperson Mike Kortan, ACT UP came TO the bureau's attention as a result of numerous demonstrations at federal buildings, since the bureau is respon¬ sible for investigating "destruction of federal property.* The telexes, two from Los Ange¬ les so headquarters and the third from New York to headquarters, sup¬ port this view. All three warn of pending ACT UP actions it federal sites, including the federal building Ln West Los Angeles and the American Consulate in Toronto. Yet in a frankly ridiculous twist, at least some of the documents appear to have been routed through the bureau’s Domestic Terrorism Unit. The head of that unit, Keith Menden¬ hall, declined to be interviewed, but presumably "threats" Cq federal prop¬ erty ace senr to Domestic Terrorism. Kortan asserts that the FBI is not investigating ACT UP but says that the bureau has a responsibility to inform other federal agencies upon learning of possible demonstrations at those agencies. Information on ACT UP actions ai federal sites obtained by the bureau most proba¬ bly comes fiom local law enforce¬ ment. The New York field office also responded in the negative for a file on ACT UP, although they bold a number qf cross-references on that organization. The number of cross-references has grown in the past year and a half. In 19F9, ACT UP member Sieve Quester sought the group's records under the FOIA and was told that the agency had only sb< cross-references consisting of 17 pages in two files The bureau would not release these to Questcr. Responding to OwJIF^jPs request, ihe New York field office reported 12 cross-references consist¬ ing of 29 pages in eight separate files on other organizations or individuals. One page comes from the Slate Department, and a second was pro¬ vided by the Secret Service. The FBI has declined to release any parr of these documents, and the bureau 40 6VTWIIK >nn« ix * declined to comment on them. The temptation t* to conclude that the eight files have eight ACT LfP member* as their subject*, but there could be any number of expla nations for [hew references. ACT IIP may have gained the attention of a hate group the agency is witching, Or they could invoLve an ACT UP member who is Suspected of Involvement in some criminal activity. An FQTA request made to the Secret Service revealed what is essen- iLalEy a chronology of ACT UP demon¬ strations at presidential and vke" presi¬ dential appearances, as well as ACT UP'S actives at the 1983 Republican NaticwiaL Contention, The document originating wish the Stale Department, on the other hand, relates to ACT UP activity on September 22* 1988, at the United Marions, according to a department official But ACT LTF archives have no record of a UN demonstration on or around that date. Some cross-references reported in response to OittWeek's FOIA requests are easily explained* like the reference to A Different Light Bookstore, which appears in the Gay Treasures file {the stories are next door to each other). Other cross-references, however, aie more intriguing. For example: Wiy are Gay Men's Health Crisis, Men of All Colors Together and the Human Rights Campaign Fdnd mentioned in Flit files? As long as the FBI declines to release these documents, all answers are speculative. What can be concluded from all ibe information gathered by Siminosfci and OufWtok is that the FBI has largely Ceased su rveill i ng gay and Lesbian Organizations, a practice which some¬ times led to Iwmmt but rarely went further. Instead* the bureau appear* to investigate groups in the gay and les¬ bian community only when they sus¬ pect a clear violation of federal law. In fact, in late 19^9, the FBI told the House Subcommittee on Civil and Constitutional Rights, the congression¬ al body responsible for overseeing the agency's nan-countefintdligcnce oper¬ ations, that., as of 1980, it no lunger engages in such surveillance in the gay and lesbian community. Speaking through a spokesperson last, year, the suheomminee chaif, Don E-dwafds, told QutWeek, The FBI has assured us that today, 1990, it is not monitoring or investigating gay organi¬ zations or activists hecsu.se of their political or sexual views." While this is alt well and good, it is also True of the agency that its policy concerning gay and lesbian employees continues to be abysmal, suggesting that the anti-gay bigotry that motivated the surveillance remains. In 1987, Margaret Padula sought employment at the FBI as a special agent. Although Padula was ranked 39th out of 30J qualified applicants and 279th out of a total applicant pool of 1,27$, she was denied a posi- lion. It is Padula's belief that it was because the agency, while performing a background check, had learned chat she is a lesbian. In its decision upholding the bureau, the US Cou rt of Appeals raised the standard spectre of black¬ mail despite Fadula's *out" status. The court added, “The FBI, as the bureau points out, is a national Law enforce¬ ment agency whose agents must be able to work tn all states in the nation. Tp have agents who engage in con¬ duct criminalized in roughly one-half the states would undermine the law enforcement credibility of the bureau.' in the case of two recently fired bureau employees, agent Frank Burrl- no and a second staffer who requested anonymity, an arbitrary personnel pol¬ icy appears to have been applied to remove the two gay employees from their fobs. The FBt"s policy states, “Where homosexual conduct is indicated, it is considered a significant factor in FBI decision-making, with respect tp both hiring and retention of employees. Issues which arise regarding Sexual conduct rather than status or prefer¬ ence arc reviewed in each case to determine whether the conduct may he of concern to employment." Both Eutfino and the staffer admit to minor infractions that led lo their being investigated and fired, but the investigations were protracted and brutal. They were required lo answer questions on their ses lives, in deiail, while hooked yp to a polygraph. The polygraph sessions lasted hours. Congressman Don Edwards sasd in a Statement Last year, “The FBI Why are Gay Men’s Health Crisis, Men of All Colors Together and the Human Rights Campaign Fund mentioned in FRr files? As long as the FBI declines to release these documents, all answers are speculative. claims it treats homosexuals and het- erosesruals alike, but the policies arc vague, and, to the best of out knowl¬ edge, these vague policies are used against gays.' So, if the FBI has ceased ihe widespread surveillance it once prac¬ ticed* at has done nothing to address the underlying condition—the bigotry, the suspicion—that moved agents to undertake that surveillance. And recent discrimination lawsuits by Black, Lati¬ no and women officers underscore the scope of that prejudice.

With the release of lheir debut album IMo BETTY! on their o^r\ "Man Bom BETTY" laid, ihe threesome now .tfand poised for their greatest leap forward.

With the completed album fending for flself in the racks, BETTY now nuns to other concerns. Selecting a single and video prove challenging, sa the BETTY Hotline routinely asks fans Co name a favorite cut for proposed pro¬ jects- The story line for a “^^iwomarf video involves some "great ideas/ and, when Alyson voices her desire to film "Shrinkback," Amy farcies off a descrip¬ tive montage of "sex with a married man/fun with an AfticanAea with a les¬ bian"; "Showing a hand with a wedding ring, and then we're fuckfog,./ (using "body doubles," naturally). Given their eye-catching looks, TY experience and recent success on The Joan fliers Show, one of the most excit¬ ing prospects on The BETTY horizon seems obvious. "Hopefully, something that's happening is our own television series," reports Amy. What small-screen scenario could contain BtTlY? EhpJ suggests a combination of music and comedy a la “the early Beatles movies." So viewers could expect BETTY to visit IX-ineyiand in an episode? "Yeah.../ the redhead deadpans, “and bum it down."

Several 4&n* zas of music are unooed across the ass. Once the visceral shock of “Musical Bun* passes, several layers of meaning emerge. Gober explained: The pfeoe is ambiguous and operates on a lot of dif¬ ferent Levels—horn the slightly morbid to a very positive image of music on a mans butt being a symbol of pleasure, which for me is the overriding image.

My Own thoughts when encountering these two sculptures were □f dismemberment and crime* and I looked around for other missing limbs.

The body is evoked whether by Us absence Or, as in the Biennial, by its painstaking repli¬ cation. The work is tactile, the artist favoring white silky surfaces.

Ocher's art moves to a heightened degree of drama.

Dak Peck; E'm very interested in the narrator being named Dennis and you being named Dennis—^vhai is the relationship between Dennis as narra¬ tor and Dennis Cooper as author? Denni* Coopen There's a pretty strong relationship—not in, like, actual detail, "cause very tittle in the book doing it is totally wrong, the reasons not Eo do LE are abstract— you just, like, don't do it because you just don't hurt other people. But (hat doesn't mean you aren't still haunted by it DP4: I was looking through He Cried Un early book of poetry!, and there’s a poem, "Poem for George Mites," who's also the main character Lrt CfottK So who is George Miles? 'What is George Mites? DC: {He laughs) George Miles is a real person I knew when 1 was in school. I tend to use people’s real names 'cause it makes me feel more about the characters, and also more protective of them. He was younger than me, and he was neatly attractive and well-liked by everyone, but he was extremely confused and did a Lot of drugs and was very, very unhappy. I was friends with him, and I was try- bag to help him—son of like being his boyfriend, but also trying io save him. It was really complicated, and (here were relationships Later in my life [hat were very much Like that. I used him because he was a person I have a lot of feeling about, and using him is a way for me eo write about something Gathering Information A Talk With Dennis Cooper actually happened. I've never pretend¬ ed I was a serial murderer or anything. I mean, it frightens me, il fascinates me. When I was realty young, I read dc 5ade—when l was 35—and it made a strong impression on me. It really scared, me, and I found ft really erotic, and I was confused about that and about myself. I've always been inter¬ ested in people who, for whatever rea¬ son—'cause ihey'rc so psychotic or Lonely Of whatever—actually don't feel they're worlhy of love or sex., so theyll kill someone. When I was living in Amsterdam ] wrote teaser [the novel before Frisk 1. I felt really isolated over there, and 1 was trying lo use that. Like, if I was a different person— 4 mean, you get so isolated, and you fed SO distant from everyone around you that you just feel like. Fuck 5t, I'm gonna Find out. I'm gonna, do |his_ Bui H’ml like the narra- that was really important to me and deal with ft in a. really personal way. It seems like I goc in a kind of pattern with him, crying to help peo¬ ple who were screwed up and who were considered to be really beautiful. No one really tried to understand them—they just tried to esploic them. And because they're attractive, they get whatever they want, and therefore they don't develop in ocher ways, the ways that people who aren't attractive do. This is a real generalisation, huE these are people I've known. DP: Images of cutting up and get ¬ ting inside—that happens a lot in your work. 'What does i| mean to you? What are you using ii for? DC: It's been part of this thing where I’ve been trying to under¬ stand—I reject all the belief systems, Like Christianity or any kind of reli¬ gion, and S find it really difficult 10 tor who doesn't really do iL I mean, I buy into Marxism or Communism Of think that it"s interest¬ ing—it's even kind of beautiful irt a way—bui JUSnU K TOYOU Trw *[ capitalism or any of that stuff. So what you"re Left with is, you sort of trust your instincts, and your instincts tell you that ft's ocher people that are really inter¬ esting, arid that'* what il's aboul., arvd that's like a basic dumb fact. {We laygbi Vve been really fascinated by whai desire's about—that it’s lor ihc Other person, and the person is just this body, and ihe body is just a machine, really. There's this discrep¬ ancy between whai you have in your hands when you're with someone you're attracted Co, and c vba they are, and even if you tear them open, you'31 understand physically how they work, but yoy would never be able co enter them or feel like, you know, like you’re Less alone or something, or that you’ve actually communed with someone, DP: Do you think you’ve arrived at arrived at any conclusions about vio¬ lence? I've toad several of your books, and it's clear that you're interested in it, but have you decided anything? DC? We(l K I’m sorl of working through it, 'cause I don't think my work’s really about violence. I think my work'* about how difftcult Lt is to be mrimaic with other people, how the body is, like, this thing that's really seductive, but you don't understand at. I've been trying co study it through this extreme, to sec if I can understand more, find a position In the world fof myself in relation ro other people. In Frisk, I wanted to deal with ll as someone who thinks it's fascinating and kind of interesting aesthetically, without taking it hack to any kind of Freudian iocerpnetation. It's not. as much at the center of the neat book, which Is very much an emotional book. DP-. A word that comes up a lot in your books is ^information/ which is a word E Love, because I always believe that n's you talking and not the charac¬ ter. C//f laughs.) What is - information? DC: In a way, everything's infor¬ mation. Whether I r m interested in a book or going to see a l>and or even watching MjgbAtun on FJm Street, fin looking for information about how other people understand something. It’s also a way of protecting yourself emotionally from people by thinking, This encounter L£ just going to give me some information, rather than engag¬ ing with it emotionally, and certainly in Frisk E was dealing with that a lot. Unless something is really heinous and Fascist, I'm interested in it. I want to try to pay a lot of attention to things even if they seem ugly, just to see if there's some due in there about why people do things. D Pi Frisk talks about AIDS. 1 don't know if you could say it's tfbaur AIDS, but it's in there, and it wasn't in Oaser or anything before that- Do you think of yourself as writing about AIDS, Of by not -writing about AIDS you ‘re writ¬ ing about it, or is Lt just there, just another piece of information? DO In Closer, rightly or wrongly, 3 lud this idea that I wanted AIDS ncc to be mentioned, but there CO be this incredible fear oF the body and stuff—and of sex—and chat to be the wiy if was reflected. And in Frisk, that narrator's a person mostly obsessed with his own interests* and 1 think that the way the Dennis narrator or the characters in the book Ifclt] about AIDS was "L don't want to get it/ The narrator mentions people he's known [who) have died, but it seems like he just canT deal with it at all, Tm work¬ ing on other ihinfe^ where I don't chunk it"s about AlDS h bui il"s impossible not lo reflect it. 3 mean, the main ihlng ltui affects the way I think about everything now is, like, that my friend* aro dying and sick, and all the injus¬ tice, of course. 3'm trying to figure out how lo write about it politically, 'cause • FftlSK on TV The Thing About Shit and Guts FRISK by Dennis Cooptr, Grove Weldenfeld. $17.95 ck by Judith Shulsvitz Dennis Cooper slkcs t tiro ugh lan¬ guage as if he'd like io pull a skeleton from it P whkfr i* exactly wbat his charac* tors would like to do to fh cnudvc* Of each other.

Fristfs epigraph is a quote from Genet: "Pul ail the images in a place of safety and make use of them a for they are in the desert. And It’s in the desert we must go and Jopk far them." Buy this book, because for you it's a place of safety: while Cooper's around to do the Si. Jean/Sc.
