For A Lesbian And Gay Hall Of Fame
Recently a flood of books have appeared that chronicle gay American, history. Such books, and the interest in our history they represent, constitute a vety encouraging trend in gay culture. But despite our growing historical consciousness, many myths about gay history endure. One is that the modem gay and lesbian liberation movement began at Stonewall in 1969. It did not. 1990 may well be the twenty-first anniversary of Stonewall, but it's the fortieth anniversary of the start of modem gay and lesbian liberation. That sodallandm~k was the found- ins, In November of 1950, of the Mattachlne Society. The Mattachlne founders, and their lesbian sisters In' the Daughters of BlUtis, were the first Americans to organize politically and proclaim that gay is good. Their creed was a
self-invented revolutionary concept: that gays and lesbians , are not a group of immoral psychopaths needing treatment, but an oppressed minority deserving civil rights. that simple idea seems obvious to us today, ,but In 1950 it was so unorthodox and unthinkable that most gays and lesbians rejected it. The founders of Mattachine and Bilitls had to fight against the weight of their own internal homophobia, as well as the combined oppressions of'psychlatry, religion, cultural ,precepts and the bitter threat of the law. Yet their long, lone- ly, brave struggle to found our movement was successful. Such courage places them alongside history's greatest explor- ers and emancipators. Yet unlike Marco Polo or Martin Luther King, Jr., the found- Ing mothers and fathers of gay liberation are largely forgotten by the people they helped to free. Their movement in the 50s and 60s gave rise to the social conditions and attitudes that made Stonewall and its aftermath possible. Yet for most gays and lesbians the modem period begins at Stonewall, and earlier contributions are glossed over or forgotten. • This situation could be partially remedied, and our sense of history strengthened, by the establishment of a formal vehicle fOr our community to honor, its heroes. Such a vehicle could be a Lesbian and Gay Hall of Fame. Situated in a major city, a Hall of Fame would help us focus on those individuals most respon- sible ford:te advan~es which have made open gay and lesbian culture possible. Yearly induction ceremonies could shine a Jong-deserved spotlight on the parents of the Queer Nation. ,, Our community has the historical and organizational exper- tise, to'easllY accomplish the founding of such a memorial. All, that's needed is a: consensus that such an institution would ben- efit the growing historical consciousness of gays and lesbians. , At. the start ,of the fifth decade of our liberation, it's hard to believe that it wouldn't. • ,.:I,

T - 37 ourTWEEK ,May 9, 1990 DIE FIRST TIME I saw him I could hardly believe my eyes. His naked body was awesome, the shoulders broad enough to fill a doorway. The sculpted mass of his chest was covered with soft brown fur, as were his powerful arms and legs. His , thick, uncut cock could keep a boy busy for days on end., And the face deep, dark eyes, aquiline nose, lush moustache!-- ,I, was the soulful essence of Latin masculinity. This man who riveted my gaze, this cynosure hunk, was I called Bruno-or so claimed the caption under his photos in the magazine. And; almost as astonishing as Bruno's superb face and physique was the magazine's revelation that he was, yes, gay. Openly and unabashedly so. When I first encountered, Bruno in the mid-1970s, I was taking my first tentative steps out of the closet. I'd managed to seduce, thanks to dope and booze, a few of my closest straight buddies, but I kept my distance from real gay men and the I I "gay scene." In my fear and ignorance, I believed that to be gay meant to become a stereotype: effeminate, limp of wrist, Ii hysterically devoted to Judy Garland. Sure, I dug men, but that image wasn't me. What Bruno's pictures in the magazine did for me (besides providing abundant fantasy fodder) was to offer the alternative image of homosexu;ility that I craved. If this guy could be gay, then why couldn't I? Not only was he a fantastic sex object, he was also a role model. I could desire him, and desire to be like him. - The magazine that brought me Bruno was called Man- date, and over the next months, and for several years, I discov- , ered in its pages more great-looking, masculine guys who redefined for me my image of gay manhood. And I came to realize that this new image of muscled bodies and assertive butch sexuality represented a profound change occurring throughout gay male culture in the 70s: out with the sissy, in with the clone. . By the early 1980s I was operily gay, living with a lover, - and working as a writer and editor for Modemismo Publica- tions, Ltd., the comJYdI1Ythat published Mandote. Iwas part of , • I a five-man editorial and production team that each month put together Mandate, as well as its baby brothers, Hancho and 11 • Playguy.

Working at Modemismo could be fun at times, but glam- orous? Not hardly. For the first time I was "out on the job," working on gay publications with other openly gay men. But for the first time in my journalism career I had to punch a time clock. Modernismo resembled a factory in other ways, too. There was an assembly-line aspect to editorial production. We were expected to stay at our desks all day churning out copy to fill the mags; normal journalistic practices, such as talk- ing to sources on the phone or leaving the office to do inter:views or research, were frowned upon, if not disal- , lowed. Not only did I and the other two members of the, editorial staff crank out articles, boy copy, porno stories and the letters to the editor suppos- edly written by readers, we also edited freelance submissions 'and proofread all the material for the three magazines after it had been typeset We were underpaid for these "diversified~ editorial duties (the art directors got more; after all, it was the pictures that sold the magazines) and benefits were minimal.

A man of Falstaffian proportions and a chainsmoker (you could locate him during his frequent pere- grinations through his corporate domain by following the trail of ash), Mavety was a mercurial character given to backslap- ping bonhomie one minute and explosions of bad temper the next. He was also one savvy businessman. In 1974, Mavety saw in the emergence of the post-Stonewall urban gay male "lifestyle" a potential JDllCketfor a slick, nationally-distritmted, monthly, gay magazine. Mavety knew the business end of pub- lishing (he'd been publishing and distributing what's known in the trade as "men's sophisticates" -hetero skin mags); he need- ed a gay collaborator for the new venture. He enlisted John Devere, who had been editing and publishing a closety, After Dark-ish arts and entertainment magazine called Dtlettante. When Dilettante folded, Mavety told Devere that he would back a new, explicitly gay lifestyle magazine if Devere , would be the editor. "He offered to run the business end,and I would have total editorial control of the new magazine," recalls Devere. "And he made good on that promise." Devere, a fonner professor of comparative literature and a self-described "artsy-fartsy culture vulture," envisioned a maga- zine that would combine in-depth arts and entertainment cov- erage, gay lifestyle f~tures and nude male photography. In - April 1975, Mandate made its debut as the "magazine of eros and entertainment." , "There was nothing else ,like it at the time," claims Devere.

Ricky (Antonio Banderas) is a sociopath just released from the asylum. He believes that Marina (Victoria Abril), an ex-porn queen and ex-junkie, will fall in love with him, marry him and bear his children if she just gets to know him a little better. So he kidnaps her.

In, one scene Marina breaks her bonds and tears up the apartment in an effort to escape; in the next, she's comple- menting Ricky's sexual technique. Her conversion occurs without a wisp of motivation. What was Almodovar thinking? Is he testing the loyalty of his fans? The endurance of his critical lapdogs? Might he claim a "cultural gap "---that we soft-hearted Americans simply can't understand the Mediterranean libido and sense of humor?

The attempts at humor are infrequent, lame, and often as appalling as the plotline. The cast, even the Almodovar regu- lars, seems uninspired-perhaps they're embarrassed to be involved. Almodovar is reputedly a gay filmmaker, but the only sexual attitude consistent to his films is the half-baked notion that desire is always capricious, usually painful and often violent.
