1. Penal Code Section 288a: This statute makes it a crime to engage in what is commonly referred to as oral copula­ tion. Within the scope of this law, “copu­ lating” means the coupling of the mouth of one person with the sexual organ of the other. Whether the two parties are of FORMERLY the opposite sex or the same sex is “THE BRIDGEWAY” inconsequential, it is still a criminal viola­ 621 BRIDGEW'AY tion. SAUSALITO 2. Penal Code Section 286: P.C. 286 332-2205 makes it a crime to engage in what is commonly known as sodomy. Sodomy is most easily defined as “anal intercourse.”. Again the law does not differentiate here between heterosexual and homosexual PRESENTS conduct. This law also covers sexual intercourse between a human being and an animal. The law says it is a crime to engage in intercourse with an animal, whether anal or vaginal. 3. Penal Code Section 314: P.C. 314 makes it a crime to engage in or assist FINE ITALIAN CUISINE another to erigage in indecent exposure. According to the statute, indecent expo­ Lunch - Dinner sure means to display one’s private parts in public or in a place where other people 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. arc present who might be offended by a display of one’s private parts.

The courts have always held that any homosexual conduct of a physical nature is lewd conduct within the meaning of this statute. In addition, IIVE' although the statute is unclear, the courts have held that it is also a violation of the statute to solicit for a homosexual act, ENTERTAINMENT whether or not the act is to take place in a public place. Thus, if one were to solicit another in a bar to go to one’s residence to engage in a homosexual act, this would be a crime, even though the act itself is to be in private.

By Ron Bossamer 673-1200 The Christopher Street parades spread across the country this year with celebrants marching in several major cities. There was no significant harass­ ment by the police, who generally helped move traffic and seemed amused. Families could be seen enjoying the marchers and the floats but most of the sidewalk observers appeared to be homo­ sexuals. News media coverage of the parades varied from San Francisco and New York City where there was extensive TV and newspaper reporting to Los Angeles which had its usual news blackout. In Dallas, one newspaper concentrated instead on a woman who followed the parade with admonitions about “homo­ sexual sins.” Most of the gay organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area marched or entered floats in the four-block=long event. Over 1,000 marched and 2,000 gathered on the steps of City Hall after C A L L FOR the parade.
