Jess...
By: Mitzel
| |
The other morning I woke up with a strange and urgent desire. I had to obtain a copy of the catalogue from the Jess show I had seen in 1993. I had had two copies once, purchased
at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts after seeing the show; I had sent one to a friend and the other went missing. I went on-line, to an out-of-print book vendor, and found a copy. Cost me
$85.00. Why this sudden obsession with the work of an artist from a show I had seen over twelve years ago? I cannot explain it. Things like this just happen. |

The Golden Rule Pleasure Club
By: Blanche Poubelle
| |
In 1892, a certain Reverend Charles Parkhurst of New York engaged on a campaign to clean up Manhattan-- largely by trying to shut sexually oriented businesses in the city, and also by showing that the police and local politicians were being paid off to allow these businesses to
stay open. |

Hair Today...
By: Blanche Poubelle
| |
Miss Poubelle was interested to see that a recent
compilation-- The Big Book of Filth-- lists about a hundred slang terms for a woman's pubic hair. Many of
these are quite obscure, but many readers will
recognize muff and beaver among them. |

Think First Before Coming Out
By: Lester R. Grubé
| |
Since the Supreme Court's decision outlawing gay sex, there's been a lot of nonsense bandied about to the effect that gay people, particularly those in prominent positions, need to
come out of the closet. Of course, my readers are by now very familiar with my personal distaste for those militants who find it necessary to flaunt their orientation. What these kamikaze
activists seem to lose sight of is the fact that if important people were to come out of their closet, they would completely lose their effectiveness. |

Harry Hay was wrong
By: Lester R. Grubé
| |
It is reassuring indeed to discover that some organizations spawned by the gay rights movement are willing to observe a modicum of good taste and decorum. Their actions on behalf
of all of us, to straighten out our collective image, often go unheralded. This is a shame. I think our community would greatly profit by taking note of their efforts. |

Test for Intellectual Compatibility
By: Lester R. Grubé
| |
Often while I'm having breakfast I like to mull over some of the more memorable moments from the previous night's TV viewing. There is a particular commercial that comes on from
time to time that always gives me pause. It's the one about Negroes that ends with the observation that it's a terrible thing to waste a human mind. |

Halloween masks
By: Lester R. Grubé
| |
Faced with the daily guilt and torment of our abnormal condition, life can be a living hell for us gay people. Perhaps no holiday is more poignant in underscoring this emptiness than Halloween. |

How I put the terrorists at bay on my vacation
By: Lester R. Grubé
| |
Like many Americans, in light of the threat of
terrorists I've had to alter my vacation plans
this year. I fully intended, as I have in past
seasons, to spend a week soaking up the
atmosphere and history of Sturbridge
Village, that lovely central Massachusetts
replica of colonial
times. But then I got to thinking: what more
likely target could there be for terrorists in
this country than Sturbridge Village? |

It's shocking how insensitive and inconsiderate some people can be. Let me explain. |
