Here are the reasons: The collective leadership of the Washington Gay Community vigorously protests and condemns the blatant racist policies of the Lost and Found management. Those racist policies were clearly affirmed by a principal Lost and Found manager in a meeting with a GAA representative on Friday, Oct. 15. Mr. Bill Perry of the Lost and Found said the following: "If possible, we would prefer to exclude all black people from the Lost and Found." Mr. Perry freely acknowledged that the primary reason for I.D. requirements was not age restriction, but an effort to exclude as many black people as possible. Perry said that the Lost and Found was requiring two pieces of "legal" identification. He defined these two pieces of I.D. as (1) driver's license and (2) "a passport or a birth certificate." Since the Tuesday opening of the Lost and Found, gay organizations have received numerous reports that these "requirements" have been generally restricted to blacks. What is the Lost and Found's justification for their racist policies? Perry says that the economic factor is the reason: "Black people are generally poor and, besides, most of our patrons are bigots." Furthermore, Perry declared that the Lost and Found cannot afford to cater to either black—or white--gays "who spend only $2.25 a night in our bar." And what is the obligation of the Lost and Found to gay people (who make such ownership rich), aside from serving good drinks? Bill Perry says "none." 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 Gay Activists Alliance The Black Caucus Skyline Faggots The Breadbox Student Homophile Assn. of the Univ. of Maryland Gay Men's Open House 1971 Kameny for Congress Campaign Committee Gay Women's Open House Campus Ministry of the University of Maryland Participating members of Metropolitan Comm.
