Text Any textual data included in the document. 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 i n t o neuroses which i n turn feeds the s o c i e t y nutrients needed to keep a l i v e the idea that homosexua l i t y is a s i c k n e s s . The "sickness myth" i s a t o o l of the oppressor c l a s s which I t s e l f i s sick. Inadvertent s l u r s against gay people such as "Suharto Sucks" within the " l i b e r a t i o n movement" point out the n e c e s s i t y in Washington for gay r a d i c a l s , militants and r e v o l u t i o n a r i e s to get our - s h i t together. We must 'Seize the Time." All gay movement people i n t e r e s t e d i n forming a Gay Liberation Front here contact me at 234-2000.
