GLF presents program despite RPCC chaos
While the rest of the Revolutionary
People's Constitutional Convention
was looking for a place to
happen j gay "men and women from arouid
the country were meeting, arguing,
dancing, shouting, even occasionally
sleeping...together.
Starting on Thanksgiving Day,
almost 300 gay people met in an effort
to define their relations with
each other, the rest of the movement,
and the "straight" world.
The effort was not easy. There
are many divisions separating gay
people, even revolutionary gay people,
from one another. The gay men
who identify themselves as "femmes"
don't want to feel put down by the
"butch" anymore. The transvestites
and transexuals effectively raised
the consciousness of their brothers
and s i s t e r s who had ignored or even
mocked t h e i r situation. Most gay
women met separately from the gay
men. Third world gay men also held
several separate caucuses.
Internal divisions disappeared
when gay people got together in the
Friday evening r a l l y at Malcolm X
Park, however. Joining the almost
7000 revolutionaries in the park,
the gay contingent gathered and
marched toward the front of the
r a l l y . Forming a tight circle,
they chanted, "Gay power to the gay
people," "Go l e f t , go gay, now
pick up the gun." The cry of "Out
of the closets and into the streets'
reportedly led at least one Panther
member to fear that the chant would
make people do just that - but his
fear proved unfounded, and his effort
to hush the gay people was unsuccessful
.
Divisions were also minimized -
at a mass Thanksgiving dinner at
St. Stephen's Church, in the collec
tive effort during the convention
t o feed hundreds of hungry mouths
- including those of Yippies and
others meeting nearby at American
University - and in supporting the
brothers busted after a brawl in a
bar which would not serve gay people.
On Saturday, the gay men decided
to accept as their basic position
a 16-point platform developed
by a t h i rd world caucus of New
York GLF. This was an extension
and elaboration of the platform
written by the male homosexual workshop
at the plenary session of the
RPCC in Philadelphia. The statement
in i t s present form will be discussed
by local GLF groups in the
coming months, and a final document
will be prepared-at another national
meeting t o be held sometime next
spring, to be organized under third
world leadership.
Some of the points apply generally
to all people in this society,
such as the desire for "the
abolition of the institution of the
bourgeois nuclear family," and for
"a free, n on-compulsory education
system t h a t . . . p r e s e n t s the entire
range of human sexuality without
advocating any one form or s t y l e ."
There is also a call for "the l i b eration
of a l l women."
Others are more specific to
the oppression of gay people, and
especially third world gay people,
such as exemption for third world
and gay people from the present
military.
Included in the demands is
t h i s aimed at the larger movement:
"We demand immediate non-discriminatory
open admission/membership for
radical homosexuals into all leftwing
revolutionary groups and organizations,
with the right to caucus.
"We believe that so-called comrades
who call themselves revolutionaries
have failed to deal with
t h e i r sexist attitudes-. Instead,
they cling to male supremacy and
therefore t o the conditioned role
of oppressors..."
Forms of sexism within the
gay movement were dealt with, as
well. One form, brought to the
attention of some of the gay men
for the f i r s t time, was the attitude
toward transvest.ites - persons of
one sex who dress in clothes of the
other - and transsexuals - persons
with characteristics of both sexes,
some of whom undergo operations to
physically become one sex.
Representatives were present"
from several transvestite-transexual
groups, who presented demands
for an end to discrimination within
the gay world as well as outside.

Gay brothers unite in rage
Twelve members of the Gay Liberation
Front, including nine from
other cities who were attending the
Revolutionary Peoples Constitional
Convention, were arrested here after
the "trashing" of a straight redneck
bar which had refused service t o four
gay-men.
All 12 were charged with assault,
illegal entry, and destruction
of property.
There was one major flaw in the
police case however; the 12 were arrested
in a Volkswagon bus blocks
from the bar. Lawyers defending the
12 anticipate the prosecution will
have a hard time pinning particular
actions to particular people.
The incident began when fo
male homosexuals participating in
the Gay Liberation work shop at the
convention were told they would not
be served at an all white bar. Two
of the men were Puerto Ricans, one
was black, the fourth was. white.
One was wearing a small amount of
make-up.
They went back to the chapel at
American University where the Gay
Liberation workshop was being held,
and recruited about SO gays who returned
to the bar.
The manager recognized the four
who had been there before. While the|
gay men combed through the bar, mixing
with the straight patrons, the
bar manager attacked two gay blacks
and a gay Puerto Rican.
As the fighting escalated to a
f r e e - f o r - a l l , the gay men held their
own. Police arrived, arrested four
people, but released them when reporters
arrived.
I t was only after the fighting
ended that police stopped the van of
gay men, some of whom had been at the
bar, and arrested them. The men arrested
were brought to central cell
block, where police booked them while
making snide remarks about the "fags"
and " f a i r i e s . " The gay men maintained
unity however, and refused to be
s p l i t into separate cells.
The 12 were released on t h e ir
own recognizance, and a t r i a l was
set for Dec. 23.
The gay men wete the only persons
reported arrested during the
convention weekend.

Page 4 June 23-July 3, 1970 Quicksilver Times Gay Liberation
CslA£ I tt?& to
by d. ail^en
, The "gay l i b e r a t i o n movement has
f i n a l l y reached Washington.
People who identify themselves
\as homosexuals and who want t o openly
confront the repression they feel
came "out of the closets and into the
s t r e e t s " long ago in other major
c i t i e s such as New York, Los Angeles,
§an Francisco, and Chicago.
• ' T h i s week (June 22-28) is Gay
Pride Week, ft marks the f i r s t anniversary
of the. "Christopher Street
R i o t s , " when the gay brothers and
s i s t e r s of New York City fought off
a gang of cops who were trying to
bust a Greenwich Village gay bar.
This was the event in which gay people
f i r s t "came out" and t o l d Puritan
Amerika t o shove off. The anniversary
is being celebrated in
c i t i e s across the country.
I t takes a while for such consciousness
to reach our n a t i o n 's
k a p i t a l , i t seems, but things are
now moving. The last issue of Quicks
i l v e r carried a l e t t e r from Mike
Yarr, an ex-Air Force member who
works for the Washington Peace Cent
e r , inviting homosexuals interested
in forming a Gay Lib group to get
in touch with him. Many did. A
meeting for everybody who is interested
in helping get such a group
together has been scheduled for
Tuesday, June 30, at 8pm in Georgetown
University annex.
Some of the aspects of the repression
felt by gay people are obvious.
They are faced in a l l states
except I l l i n o i s with archaic "sodomy
laws" which, although seldom
enforced, contribute to a furtiveness
and paranoia about human relationships
which should be open and
free. (Even in I l l i n o i s , which repealed
i t s "sodomy law" more or
less by accident, pips use any number
of pretexts to bust gay bars
which don't pay enough protection
money.
Gay people usually try to conceal
t h e i r o r i e n t a t i o n from t h e ir
employers rather than take the
r i sk of being fired. Not all employers
would do so, of course, but
even a person who i s generally liberal
can have a blind dread of homosexuals.
Finally, gay people usually
have a h e l l of a time finding other
gay people. Relatively few gay
| people walk around with l i t t le
pink booties, lavender lace blouses,
and limp w r i s t s , so i t ' s hard to'
identify who's gay. Most guys don't
have the chutzpah to walk up to
another guy and say, "Hey buddy, ya
wanna fuck?"
So most gays are forced to
seek t r i c k s e i t h e r in dangerously
public places (parks, t o i l e t s , etc.)
or in one of the ghettoized bars,
a l l of which must pay off the pigs
and many (though somehow not a l l ) of
which charge outrageous prices for
watered drinks and have a typical at-
'"V '*A>~
mosphere of forced f r i v o l i t y.
In a word, the gay piers on lives
in a ghetto without boundaries. He
lives among the s t r a i g h t s , but in his
head h e ' s an outsider.
Naturally, these forms of repression
must be fought. Laws must be
changed, firings of gay people must
be protested, overpriced gay bars must
be boycotted and social events must
be arranged where gay people as well
as s t r a i g h t people can meet each other
in a relaxed atmosphere. These are
some of the things Gay Lib groups
in other c i t i e s have done.
But an even more basic need
would remain even i f all these things
somehow were accomplished. That is
the need for s e l f - r e s p e c t.
I t ' s no surprise that the
" s t r a i g h t world" expresses i t s dread
of homosexual feelings with repressive
t a c t i c s . What is really t r a g i c,
however, is that those who experience
these feelings accept the prevalent
notion that they are unspeakable dirt
y , e v i l , and s i n f u l , and repress
themselves.
A s o c i a l psychologist named
Martin Hoffman has written a righton
book t i t l e d "Hie Gay World," in
which he looks at, among other
things, the problem most male homosexuals
feel in developing a lasting,
deep relationship with another guy
t h a t ' s not b u i l t exclusively on sex.
He says:
"To put the matter in its most
si rrrp le. te ZWB t , We t re as ons the males
who are homostfculaly inclined' cannot•••'
.form stable relafloiishipii wit}peach^:

to be expected, except in a.few. , ••'
[cases. " ' ''• • •': • "' ' \- "'••'''
Well, t h a t ' s where Gay Lib .-.'.
comes in, folks. ^ Gay is Good.
There's no reason why men shouldn't
be close to men, and women to women,
in a l a s t i n g , loving way. But there's
a hell of a lot of internal hang
ups to overcome before this can
happen.
That's why we need a group:
Everybody who needs to come to
grips with t h e i r feelings, and with
the repression they feel in a
society which demands conformity, can
use a l i t t l e help from t h e i r friends.
We want to reach all the people
in the area who have homosexual feelings,
whether or not they're ready to
come out and identify themselves as
"gay." I t ' s hard to recognize and
deal with desires and feelings that
you've been taught are dreadful and
unnatural. But i t ' s important to
r e a l i z e that they're not "unnatural,"
that you're not "sick" because you
feel them, and that psychiatrists who
say something like "all the homosexuals
I see are sick" are leaving out
the other side: all of the heterosexuals
they see are probably sick,
too.
I t ' s especially important that
gay women get together as well as
j gay men. There's already enough male
chauvinism among heterosexuals; a gay
movement shouldn't contribute to it
by concerning i t s e l f only with male
homosexuality. Women will almost
c e r t a i n l y want to have t h e i r own
separate rap sessions, but there's
a lot that gay men and gay women can
do together.
Gay people are perhaps the last
oppressed group to get themselves
together. Blacks, Indians, Puerto
Ricans, women - everybody's getting
organized. I t ' s time for gays t o surface,
join with t h e i r comrades (both
gays and right-on s t r a i g h t s ) and
fight repression in a l l forms.
If you want to rap with somebody
about the idea of gay l i b , call
Mike Yarr during the day at 234-
2000, or at night phone Dave Aiken
at 234-4287 or Miles Gritz at 965-
2734.
Power to the People! Gay power
to gay people!

o i s t e r s and Brothers:
In the l a s t issue or"
Quicksilver, you ran an
a r t i c l e on Suharto of In
donesia. The headline
was "Suharto Sucks" and
that use of the word suck
was b l a t a n t l y oppressive
t o gay brothers.
That Suharto i s a fasc
i s t p i g - f r i e n d of Amerikan
imperialism i s right
on, but when you equate
h i s fascism with sucking
cocks, you put yourselves
i n the camp of the pig
oppressors. Sucking
cocks is neither ugly
nor unnatural, but rather
a sexual expression used
by many people.
The oppression that results from
language of that sort is one of
s e l f - h a t r e d . If something i s badand
a "liberated" newspaper equates
that with sucking, then sucking
must be bad. If a person continues
t o suck cocks that everybody t e l ls
him i s bad, he begins to develop
these g u i l t things i n his head. All
these g u i l t things keep building

and say i n the future we w i ll
t r y t o delete idiomatic language

unconscious predjudice.

Pennington, Bruce C., 1947-2003
Bruce C Pennington was born in Rugby, ND on September 17, 1947 and died in Washington, DC on August 26, 2003. He arrived in Washington, DC in the autumn of 1968 to work initially for Liberation News Service. In Washington, DC he was an early member of the Gay Liberation Front (1970-1974), founding member of the Stonewall Nation Media Collective, producers of the Friends radio program on WGTB-FM and WPFW-FM (1973-1982), of Black and White Men Together-DC, and of the Rainbow History Project (2000-2003). He served on the Washington, DC Human Rights Commission from 1988 to 1991. Pennington worked professionally as a chef and restaurant manager and a teacher of English.

"We are coming to know who we are. We are poor people living in the gay ghetto suffering similar class oppressions
and we all ended up here because there was no other place to go."
These words were written by a member of the Bread Box collective, a group of local gay revolutionaries. They have begun a newspaper, a voice of revolutionary gay people in Washington. Bread Box is both an angry shout against oppression and a joyous cry of love.
The two issues that have been published so far have held poems, news, survival info, analysis of what it means to be gay in Amerika, and more. Bread Box fulfills a real need among Washington gays for self-expression and communication.
But it also speaks to straight people, showing what liberation
from societal dictated sex roles can mean. (See Come Ing Out from Bread Box #2, on p.16 of this QST.)
Bread Box will be coming out every ten days with eight pages if the collective can continue to overcome its problems. Recently they were thrown out of the house they were living in and are still seeking a permanent home.
As the cover explains, Bread Box costs 15cents, "more if you have it, less if you don't." Papers can be bought in bulk for street sales at a cost of 5 cents. They are available at The Alternative, The Community Bookstore, or Yes! Until they get a house of their own, Bread Box collective can be reached through Switchboard. They try to reach us through the paper. Try one.
