A Personal Perspective by Gregg Russell, Author of Houston's Defeated Gay Rights Job Protection Ordinance
Following the 4-to-1defeat on January 19, 1985 of Houston's gay rights job protection referen- dum, TWT NEWS asked the original author of the ordinance to explain his personal reaction. In this personal story, the author tracks the development of how his own idea became a city ordinance which later became a harsh public defeat. The story begins in 1982, a point from which Russell walks the reader through the many doors of his political scenario. the emergence of the AIDS/employment Itwas two-and-one-half years ago that issue, I felt the next logical step in the the concept of a gay rights ordinance Houston gay political agenda would be began to formulate in my mind.

With this issue, TWT welcomes a well-known drama columnist, Billie Duncan, to our staff. Her theater reviews, stories and photographs will now appear regularly in TWT. A nurse on a motorcycle whizzing through the English countryside is the picture projected of the radio soap opera character around which Frank Marcus' classic play, The Killing of Sister George, revolves.

After touring the states, the Cleveland, Ohio-born artist decided to make Houston his home in 1981 to pursue an independent art career. Some accomplishments in his field include a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in graphic design and illustration from Kent State University, honors in statewide and national illustration con- tests, and participation in local art shows. Greg feels he can portray a sense of humor through his artwork and enjoys using symbolism and double meanings to express an idea. He is currently a member of the Art League of Houston and will be exhibiting his work at the Westheimer Art Festival in April: limited editions signed prints of many of his works will be available. Greg designed the cover illustration on this week's TWT expressly for this Valentine's issue. o
