As you know by now, Washington's gay organizations have begun a series •-- *# of legal actions, including a weekend picket, against the new:Lost and Found on L Street, Southeast. Why? Because of flagrant discrimination against gay blacks and women. L & F's racist policies were explicitly acknowledged by Bill Parry, representing the Lost and Found management, in an October 15 meeting with Paul Kuntzler of GAA, a 10-year veteran of the Washington gay movement. Parry declared: "This is a Southern city." (A reference to when Washington had legalized segregation twenty years ago.) He said that if possible, the Lost and Found would bar all-black people, and clearly indicated that the principal -~ reason for L_&_F's I.D- was to exclude as many gay blacks as- possible. This is how the Lost and Found game is played: Two pieces of I.D. are required, Parry says. A driver's license and a "passport or a birth certificate." Such conventional identification as a"draft card or a government employee I.D. card are not acceptable." However, generally only black gays are asked for identification—whites are not, except those who actually appear under age. What are the objectives of the L & F game? Parry intimated that the Lost and Found is only interested in serving the most affluent gay crowd, primarily white suburbia, (in a black ghetto!) Parry rationalizes that "black people are generally poor and, besides, most of our patrons are bigots." In any case, the Lost and Found does not want to cater to those gays, black or white,"who spend only $2.25 a night in our bar." Now, to answer two questions: It's true that some token blacks are seen in the Lost and Found. The. bar has no choice but to admit those few blacks who are willing to meet L & F's I.D. requirements. It is also true that the I.D.s of many whites are now being checked—as a temporary response to the picket line outside. However, Washington gay organizations are not interested in momentary pretenses at non-discrimination. We will accept only their uncompromising agreement to end all discrimination against all gay people--a resolution that provides the necessary guarantees. In regard to women, the Lost, and Found's double-standard dress requirement for women will not be tolerated. If men can wear blue jeans, so too can women. Many of you have said that you think it distressing that homosexuals are fighting one another. We agree. Let's resolve this conflict. We ask the Lost and Found management to begin discussions with us. We, too, think the Lost and Found is beautiful. We congratulate them. And when they change their oppressive policies, the club will be even more beautiful. In addition, we are fully cognizant of their substantial investments and the need to make a return and a good one. However, we will not allow them to realize extravagant profits at the expense of the human dignity and freedom of certain gay people. £5>&T5S, - 2 We who represent you in our struggle to improve the quality of gay life have come belately:to the recognition that we are not just the defender of white, male homosexuals, but the representative of all gay people. The Lost and Found management will have to recognize, too, that the year is 1971; those days when Washington was a "Southern city" are gone. All of us, finally, should understand that either we are all together or none of us is together. As gay people we have advanced too far to now leave behind some of us who are black or female. *•*##-*-*•#•#•* The following Washington gay organizations request that the Lost and Found end their racist, sexist, immoral, and illegal policies and implement the list of our 10 demands necessary to resolve this conflict: The Mattachine Society of Washington Evangelical Catholic Community • The Black Caucus Gay Activists Alliance* Alabama Avenue Collective Skyline Faggots The Breadbox Gay Women's Open House Student Homophile Assn. of the Univ. of Maryland Easter Day Collective Hand-to-Hand Newspaper 1971 Kameny for Congress Campaign Committee • • The Women's Film Festival "Our House" Collective Gay Liberation Front Gay Men's Open House Gay Campus Ministry of the Univ. of Maryland Applecore Collective Metropolitan Community Church (Motion passed last Sunday by Church membership) Original Format If the image is of an object, state the type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Mimeographed flyer Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I Off to the side, three smiling sisters warmly directed us to the Women's Center -- the Church of the Holy Apostle. TheTe we discovered a really, tumed-on group of "Liberated women" and joined them for a weekend of consciousness- raising and getting it together. First a pot-luck supper — what a feast! We swapped recipes and samplet cheeses, breads and salads. Remember way back when "cooking is the way to a man's heart" and "make someone a good wife" s h i t ) . This time i t was | just friends breaking bread together. An a l l women's dance downstairs brought over a hundred of us together. (After some previous dances with gay men the women realized that the maledominated affairs oppressed then and they preferred sisters only events.) Late in the night, the more p o l i t i - -v cally-minded adjourned to create slogans and banners for Sunday's his- i t o r i c march, commemorating the Christopher Street gay r i o t one year ago protesting a police raid of a gay bar. As the wine flowed so did our '"' true sentiments'. Encouraged by s i s ters we boldly wrote -- "Lesbians Unite," "Gay is...ummm Groovy"; "I am .. a Lesbian and,I am Beautiful,"."Hi Mom Guess What," " The Lavender .Menace loves your daughter," "We are the type of women our mother warned us about." Into the morning we talked of the fu- -.-• ture of gay liberation, of women's liberation -- of the inevitable c o n nection between the two, of our newly-: emerging consciousness and fulfillment with each other; of personal and polit i c a l alternatives. The next day, apprehensive and excited, we joined forces. Over ten thousand of us merged, a coalition of gay groups, militant and moderate, from all over the east coast. A large number of Washington gays found each other; reuniting with old friends embracing new ones. Crowds lining the sun-lit sidewalks were questioning, identifying, shocked, s i l e n t. A motherly figure shook-her finger at me saying "But'Why wouldn't you let me live my l i f e as I wish? I t 's just as good with ,a man i s n ' t i t ? I replied, "You are questioning^ yourself. Why are you here? Examine your own unease when confronted by . other women with what we feel is a better life style. Are you'fami 1 with the concept of "the woman as nigger?" This means that women hav. . too long accepted and like you even defended their oppression by continu ing to be treated as nice, empty packages to be kept by their men." A psychiatrist benignly preached, " I t ' s not your peoples? fault. It's, your upbringing, your parents, a ; 'traumatic experience." I responded ''To me, i t ' s not a matter of cause K or fault, as you so academically put; it». Any more than heterosexuality K i s . In this society at this time, w the only sane thing for us to be is i lesbian. Our society is sex-obsesseu So i t mistakenly labels our efforts V to extricate ourselves from being treated as merely sexuaf objects as a sick sex substitute. Actually we have something better in mind. Love and Self-fullfillment for example. Within the straight society we have only.roles to relate to the "opposite sex." We are not yet persons." Some of the s i s t e r s and brothers seemed friendly. But many lesbians preffered to march together. The "Queens" led the show. The Gay Liberation Front, the Lavender Menace, the Gay Activist Alliance, Mattachine Society participated. We started down Sixth Avenue. (Tax out, I thought. Queers with a parade permit proudly marching through Manhat- "tan. And theipolice who had a year ago provoked the protest now "protecting" the protesters. One out of six. How many cops?) Cameras snapping along the route. Traffic stopped for an eleven block unity. On the sidelines, friends clapped and Blushed as the chants of "Gay Power" and "Out of the Closets and into the Streets" gained s p i r i t along the line of march. ' Women with their companions, men with their buddies, unidentifiable as gay or straight. How many of you out there are with jus in s p i r i t , how many will be with ius in body next year. It sure wouldn't have been me last year! Two "hip" appearing, denim-clad males jumped behind the lesbian banner. I was apprehensive. "Hey, your brothers are up ahead." '.'We'd rather be here," they replied. "Say, are you gay?" "No, but I've always wanted to make i t with a lesbian," leared the bearded-one. "Off the pig sexist", we shouted. Steamy pavement, tired feet, good vibes, thirsty dogs. • One fanat i c on the side lines had really gone'to a lot of trouble with an Amerikan flag and a sign "Sodom and Gomorrah." "Look at that queer." "Not a bad fag." More comments from the marchers. He was threatened. Hostile. What compelled him to so have to prove his masculinity, to overcompensate? What a mixture in.the movement; pretty g i r l s , strong women,, college students, black, oriental, white. We were t i r e d , relieved, happy. We had shared with our gay s i s t e r s a new-found pride. And now Gay Liberation Front comes to D.C. For those sisters and brothers who are ready to "come out and l i v e , " we meet Tuesdays at 8:00 pm in Grace Episcopal Church in Georgetown Original Format If the image is of an object, state the type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data newspaper Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

' s and have watched all of the changes closely. in the last few months q.t. has gotten much worse; i t has failed to grow, we are street people, sometines the only money we have comes from selling papers, we used to feel we were passing the word, joyously spreading our love and l i fe and dreams in the middle of the death agonies we all feel under the shadow of the great white penis, now i t ' s business again; the joy is gone. the last issue, Aaericong, is a good exanple of what's gone wrong. mayday, the greatest orgasm of lovepain, joy-sorrow, life-death we have ever felt was treated with no love at all. where i s your coverage (coverage?) of gaymayday? we are gay and don't like being missed, we were there, we were action—maybe even in a leading role—in trying to deal with sexism at the campsite (algonquin peace city? whoever called it that?), we too took over the stage once, we made our flags, our banners, our chants and noises known, q.t. must have heard us, at least once. where i s the mention of sclc, and nwro? these are perhaps the two most energetic, broadbased progressive groups in the country. . they are based primarily in black communities, aren't they worth a l i t t l e space in the page of q.t.? what about the thursday april 29 town meeting, where the people of the campsite decided that the regional representatives, instead of the mayday organizers, would run their camps i t e from that point on. what's happened i s , q.t. seems to have no real consciousness of what happened during mayday. it's a view from the outside—events are reported on, 70 pictures of "heavy" actions filled the pages with technically perfect s t e r i l i t y , q.t. seems to be totally out of touch with the community that surrounds i t . instead we have isolated reportage, critical, where most of us weren't really critical, glorifying a misrepresentation of what we did, missing out on most of what was important to us. i f the hip press is to be revolutionary, it must do more than report what happened and be on our side, it must be a tool in the struggle, we must have constant interchange, we must be able to see what we did right and why i t worked, what we did wrong and how to learn from our mistakes, it doesn't do much good to read about ourselves, no matter how favorable the coverage i s ; and most of q . t . ' s readers are from Washington, we were here, we know what happened. q . t . , and the d.c. hip community have come a long way. we've s t i l l ' g ot a long way to go. in love and struggle, marie anderson doug lawson • terry lee gaymayday Marie and Terry came by last week to deliver tfiie letter and talk over with us these and other criticisms of the paper. Primarily, they feel that while Quicksilver exists to serve and inform Washingtons 's young, revolutionary community; it is at this time isolated from many segments of that community. We agree; this problem is not new to us, but the solution will have to be. The QT collective should be seen as a part of the free community, and not as a detached observer. Likewise, the paper is a part of the community. Our small collective cannot directly involve itself in all that happens here. To best serve it's purpose as an information and communications center for free Washington, Quicksilver's contents must be largely a product of that community. We are totally commited to working with our sisters and brothers to produce a better people's paper, but we can't do it alone. All of our community has to contribute to the free flow of information, criticism, and support among us. If you have any criticisms or suggestions on how best to bring all this about, please call us or stop by and rap.

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.

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.

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^: r other- is that ^society <i)es not'jjwt^- them to.. .Closeness between men- is'-;^:'-' .-• considered^ si'gn of something wrcnigi; with the individual's .mind, he im~/t .'•'. mediately,di? fines'diimseIf. -as a •'. ,-'''''.'• 7~ sissy, faggot^[degenerate, eta. ..••.•.'

" ' ''• • •': • "' ' \- "'••''' 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!

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.

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.
