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.
