Drag Queens Terrorize Six States A gang of marauding drag queens has embarked on a crime spree spanning five southern states and Michigan, according to a May 7 report appearing in the online newspaper 365gay.com. Police in Birmingham, Ala. are investigating allegations that as many as a dozen drag queens have been targeting area car dealerships, distracting sales personnel and then driving off with some of the most expensive vehicles on the lots — including Cadillacs, BMWs and a Lexus. At least a dozen vehicles have been recovered, often near drag pageant venues, but nearly 20 more are still unaccounted for. According to the report, some dealerships were unaware any thefts had occurred until after the cars were recovered. One car salesman was so smitten with the beautiful “woman” talking to him, he couldn’t later believe that she was actually a man. — BB

Gay Real World Star Arrested in Porn Theater Dan Renzi, star of the MTV series The Real World: Miami, found out that celebrating Cinco de Mayo with too much tequila and ending up in a porn theater is a bad combination. Kansas City, Mo. police arrested Renzi for indecent exposure, alleging he was masturbating in the theater. According to Renzi, police had ticketed several men before one of them recognized

him as a Real World personality. Renzi and another patron were then handcuffed and taken to jail. Renzi faces a maximum sentence of $500 and six months in jail. Renzi says he is not embarrassed by the situation, but is concerned that his mother, who lives in the area, will likely be humiliated by the news coverage of her son. “People can say what they want about me, but they better not mess with [her],” Renzi said. – MA

Former Utah Bishop Weds Partner, Faces Sanctions Bishop Otis Charles, formerly of the Utah Episcopalian Diocese, was stripped of his license after his April 24 marriage to his partner Felipe Sanchez Paris. According to a May 10th Associated Press story, California Episcopal Bishop Rev. William Swing did not revoke Charles’ license because of the church’s stance on samesex unions — the church in California has blessed such unions for years. Rather, he revoked Charles’ license to officiate at church ceremonies because, according to him, the couple’s ceremony defied church protocol and had become “an altogether more public event than I had wanted.” In a statement issued May 3, Swing wrote, “I read about [Charles’] actions at 8 a.m. April 29, and by 9 a.m. I had informed him that his relationship with the Diocese of California had been severed.” Charles countered that he had informed Swing of his plans and had followed the Episcopal church’s rules governing the blessing of same-sex unions. “It was done with the Bishop’s knowledge and according to his protocols,” he said. Charles served as Utah’s Episcopal Bishop for fifteen years. He came out as gay after retiring in 1993. — JV

Theron McGriff (right) and his partner in front of the Idaho Supreme Court building. A county judge ruled that McGriff could not have visitation rights for his children as long as he is living with his “homosexual male partner.”

Idaho Dad Gets Day in Court by Nicholas Rupp In April 2002, a Bonneville County, Idaho judge told Idaho Falls resident Theron McGriff that he could only have visitation rights for his two daughters if he “does not reside in the same house as his homosexual male partner.” Judge Mark Riddoch granted full custody of the girls to McGriff’s ex-wife, Shawn Weingartner, though the couple’s original divorce decree indicated the two would share custody equally. McGriff appealed Riddoch’s decision to the Idaho Supreme Court, and on May 3 McGriff and Weingartner’s respective attorneys each had 30 minutes to present their cases to the state’s highest court. A decision is expected in about six months. The conflict between the two parents began when Weingartner filed a petition in December 2000 to modify their then three year-old divorce and custody agreement after McGriff’s partner moved in with McGriff the previous month. Weingartner’s petition asked the court to grant her full custody because “events have occurred with respect to [McGriff’s] intimate relationship with a person of the same sex.” Over the next 16 months, McGriff met with counselors and a court-selected custody evaluator observed and analyzed his relationship with his daughters. McGriff’s partner had to undergo psychological evaluation as well, something McGriff points out that his ex-wife’s husband did not have to do. According to McGriff, the evaluator’s final report determined that the court should make no changes to the original custody agreement. “[The evaluator] said I was the more nurturing parent and called me ‘Mr. Mom,’” McGriff said in a phone interview with Salt Lake Metro. Regardless, Judge Riddoch determined that McGriff’s equal custody would be terminated and his visitation would hinge on his living arrangement with his partner. Despite what McGriff calls “overwhelming” testimony about his parenting skills from a variety of witnesses, he says, “Riddoch made up his mind before he came into court. He didn’t listen to the evidence or to the testimony. He didn’t say one good thing about me as a par-

ent. In his judgment he pointed out that he made his decision because I was insensitive to being gay in a conservative community and the affect it would have on the girls.” Weingartner’s attorney argued the conflict was not about McGriff’s sexual orientation itself, but rather about McGriff’s unwillingness to cooperate with Weingartner in discussing his sexuality with the kids. Idaho Supreme Court justices, however, seemed to disagree. The Associated Press reported that Justice Wayne Kidwell told the court, “The only thing I can find here are several allegations with regard to an intimate relationship with the same sex.” Chief Justice Linda Copple Trout mentioned that the girls, who are now 13 and 9, already know their father is gay. “I’m in it for my kids, period, but this is the first case in Idaho to be appealed,” McGriff said. “I’ve gotten emails from people all over the country who are in this same boat and are waiting to see what happens.” McGriff‘s partner of seven years, who has remained relatively anonymous in public, is emotionally and financially supportive of the battle. “It was devastating for both of us when we lost custody,” McGriff said. “He borrowed against his car loan, against his retirement, to help pay legal bills. His family is wonderful, too. They treat the girls like their own grandchildren.” McGriff says his daughters just want to be with their dad. They are aware of the legal battle and the media attention around it, and they were included in the decisionmaking process. “They’re stressed about the outcome like the rest of us,” McGriff said, “but my older daughter said I didn’t have a choice — I had to appeal.” McGriff and his partner didn’t expect the media attention at this level, so they initially just warned the girls about the financial ramifications of appealing. “I explained that our lifestyle would have to change because it would be very expensive to appeal. My younger daughter didn’t say anything but ran off. She came back a few minutes later with her piggy bank of $8 and told me to use that, too.” Theron McGriff ’s website is IdahoDad.org.

Opinion

Personal Sacrifice Many people and organizations are grappling with ways in which they can best serve the gay and lesbian movement during this latest battle for our rights. Some men and women are moving back from larger and more liberal cities to help pick up the banner in their hometowns. Groups are hiring additional staff, renting larger spaces and soliciting armies of volunteers in preparation for this summer’s fight. Students are brazenly defying dress codes with pro-gay T-shirts. Carrie and Elisia Ross-Stone are two grandmothers who have found a unique and awe-inspiring way to make a difference: The women are forfeiting their spring and summer to bike across the country in an attempt to bring attention to the need for “equal civil marriage rights for samesex couples.” The lesbian couple are taking their anger at the national and local constitutional amendments out on the road to create something positive: awareness, education and personal change. Such sacrifice is to be heartily commended. The grueling summer heat, the continental divide and seemingly endless deserts of Nevada and Utah and equally endless

plains of the Midwest are enough to keep most sane people from even contemplating such a trip. But it’s the “unenlightened masses” — many people living in areas across the country without visible gay communties — who present the couple their most daunting challenge. On a “test run” from Florida to San Francisco earlier this year, the duo ran across people and situations that made them fear for their safety. Carrie says the struggle for equal civil marriage rights is a grassroots effort. “It is instigated by ordinary, everyday lesbian and gay couples, like us, who want to participate in the American dream,” she stated. “We do not have a choice but to do something extraordinary to defeat the pending constitutional amendment [banning same-sex marriage]. Doing nothing is not an option,” she said. We applaud the couple’s efforts, their bravery and their sheer tenacity. They are role models who demonstrate what can be done with a bit of imagination and a willingness to put personal lives aside for the betterment of the country.

From the Editor Moral Credibility by Brandon Burt When the photos of American soldiers’ blatant abuse of Iraqi prisoners began making the rounds early this month, Muslim and gay rights leaders alike blasted the U.S. military’s use of gay sex as a mechanism of torture. Some of the prisoners were made to simulate oral and anal intercourse with each other while American and British troops looked on, laughing. This was done to humiliate the prisoners, apparently because — to some members of the U.S. military — there’s nothing quite so demeaning as gay sex. It may be possible to read too much into this aspect of the abuse scandal, however. There were all kinds of stupid, cruel and horrifying things going on in the Abu Ghraib prison, and if one thing can be said it’s that the soldiers were not only fiendish for allowing those things to happen in the first place, but also idiots for allowing them to be captured on film. Through their actions the soldiers have severely damaged any moral credibility the U.S. and Britain may have had regarding the Iraq invasion. We went into that country with the intent to remake it, to bring civilization and democracy to the region. While this presupposed a moral authority the rest of the world doubted we possessed, we’ve now removed all doubt. Like many Americans, I opposed — and continue to oppose — the Iraq war. At its inception, it was all too obvious that President Bush was not only capitalizing on the nation’s post-9/11 fears for his own political purposes, but was either unable to foresee the catastrophic global effects the war could have, or just didn’t care about them. Since then, he has never given us any reason to believe otherwise. At every turn, Bush has used the war to bring financial and political rewards to his cronies, while going out of his way to ignore the very real human cost the war has incurred. Dead American soldiers? They don’t exist, much less dead Iraqis. Rich Halliburton stockholders? Now, they exist.

What I never anticipated was the breathtakingly cynical way with which this administration would simply brush aside all criticism. Bush makes no pretense of justifying his actions, except in the most jingoistic ways — as if he’s decided that simpleminded messages are the ones that resonate most with the American people. In the past, spirited public debate has been the mechanism through which this country has arrived at some approximation of the truth. We’ve got two political parties — they battle fiercely, hammering out a solution until whatever’s left at the end of the day must have something to do with reality. This is no longer the case — those in the halls of power no longer bother to engage the opposition in any meaningful argument. They’ve discovered that a good portion of their constituency simply feels more comfortable when its leaders stay “on message” — parroting the same empty slogans again and again with no regard for reality or even plausibility. If Bush is right — if it’s true that this country’s citizens are not interested in the possession of truth, but would rather have the kind of moral certitude that stems from the illusions of arrogance — then what’s to become of this country? We’ll succumb to our role as the world’s policeman, further depleting our resources and so dividing our military might that we will, eventually, fail. It happens to every empire: The world is simply too big and complicated a place to rule with a single, iron fist. The images coming out of Iraq show that the U.S. military is not, by sheer virtue of its American-ness, the morally infallible organization supporters of U.S. hegemony would have us believe. It is only as good as its commanding officers, chief among whom is a man who does not seem to be able to tell the difference between right and wrong. We have not lost our way, however murky the guiding light of our leadership has become. The American people have encountered dark days in the past and have, eventually, redeemed ourselves by making the right decision. May it be so again this November.

Letters Plant Snobbery Editor: I was recently handed a copy of your publication by a friend. First and foremost, let me say bravo! Your paper is a welcome addition to our community. I skimmed quickly through the paper and read everything by Ryan Oliver Hansen. He’s such a cute and quirky boy and his writing delights me. As I progressed further into your paper, I was very impressed by the caliber and thoughtful writing of your contributors and staff writers. Congratulations on pulling together an amazing team. This alone speaks volumes for the future of your “rag.” I was thrilled to see an A&E section — everything from actors to vino and all that comes between. (By the way, Beau Jarvis had me at hello!) Which brings me to my real motivation for writing this letter: Brandie Balken’s gardening column with the headline “Wait for It.” Although I am sure that Brandie had the best environmental intentions in discouraging water-thirsty plants, her tone in so doing, albeit sarcastic, smacks of plant snobbery! I plant columbines and sempervivum, but also petunias, pansies, and most especially bluegrass. There is nothing in my garden that pleases my dogs or me more than our patch of lawn. The simple pleasure of rolling on her back on the lawn in a stinky pile of worms is one of the last and greatest joys of my 14 year-old dog’s life. I’ll be the first to admit that my lawn is larger than it should be — and yes, it does drink more water than my flowerbeds — but gosh darn it, this is America! I may not be free to marry but I am free to garden, and I’ll keep on gardening my way regardless of the approval of others. By the way, Brandie Balken, I’m also free to keep reading your column — which, like it or not, I intend to do. Again, well done on the premiere of your immensely stimulating and thoroughly enjoyable publication. Long live Salt Lake Metro!

Great Vibes Flow at 161 Editor: After reading the Ruby Ridge’s column “True Blue” in the April 29 issue about the new Club 161, we would like to offer another point of view. We are very pleased that the owners of Club 161 recognized the need for a bar where masculine men can socialize and enjoy each other’s company. We have felt welcomed by the owners of the club. Yes, they are straight, but they are really cool guys who are just as interested in their customers having a good time as the next businessman — gay or straight. (All businesses exist by making money. Are we to only spend money at gay-owned businesses?) These guys have made an effort to get to know us and ask us for suggestions, many of which were implemented for their grand opening last week. The owners have made some great changes, many of the ideas their own. Club 161 was opened in time for LDS General Conference weekend, and

was simply not finished before this paper reviewed it. The club’s grand opening was a celebration of men, a reunion of sorts for those who seek the company of other men without the intrusion of noisy dance crowds, costume parties, and massive “attitude.” Great vibes flowed throughout the bar. It appeared as if everyone was having a great time and I didn’t see the standard exodus to “find the hot crowd” at other bars. (As we all know, barhopping can be a trait of gay bar customers.) The club has maintained its funky jukebox, which gives everyone the opportunity to play the tunes they want to hear. This is lacking with a D.J. who drives the mood, beat, and volume of the music. Imagine actually being able to carry on a conversation without shouting. The club has hired a gay bartender, an addition that has pleased many customers, although I personally enjoyed getting to know the straight bartenders. We want to be understood and accepted by the straight world, yet some would rather we live our lives in isolation, away from the mainstream. Could it be said that some gay people can’t be comfortable around straight people? Having lived in Aspen, Colorado during the summer months for over twenty years, I was always pleased to see gays and straights socialize side by side. There were no gay bars. They were mixed and it was not a big deal. Club 161 does serve a similar niche as Club Blue did, but it’s different. It’s a lowkey place where masculine guys (but not to the point of exclusivity) can go catch up with friends. If you are looking for a club with a masculine clientele, but little attitude, this place might be for you.

Where’s the Eros? Editor: Can we say “screwed?” Well, that’s what happened to the gay and lesbian community regarding the hiring of Blythe Nobleman and the budget firing of her as well. In reality, Mayor Rocky Anderson hired Blythe to appease and get the votes of the gay and lesbian community — that’s all! It was all for show to get their vote, which he did. Now, according to the proposed new budget presented by Anderson which was published in The Salt Lake Tribune May 5, Blythe’s job isn’t necessary anymore. So tell me: If her job isn’t necessary now, why was it before the election?

The San Francisco Shockwaves play the Los Angeles Motion in the gay flag-football Surf-and-Turf Bowl in San Diego.

Flag Football the Next Craze? By the constant chanting on May 1 of “A-T-L, A-T-L” by the Atlanta Thunder players at Bourbon Street despite their fourth-place finish, the first gay flag-football Surf-and-Turf Bowl was a big success. Perhaps the Thunder was confused by the heat and chanting for rain, or they were looking ahead to the Gay Super Bowl that will likely be played in their hometown next fall by two San Diego teams. When all the festivities ended, it was still San Diego’s Bourbon Street Hurricanes who took the tournament and beat the San Francisco Shockwaves 52-14 in the final game played at City College under a blistering sun. “The competition was fierce, and regardless of the heat, each team that came were well organized and had a lot of ambition,” bowl co-director John Hernandez said. “It will only get better, honey!” Hernandez and bowl co-director Ivan Solis are already planning next year’s second-annual tournament and are currently picking up interest from other teams around North America. Seven teams from as far as Atlanta, gathered to compete for the trophy awarded to

the best overall flag-football team. Playing with an open wound on his forehead and covered only by his usual waist wrap, Peter Manzoni, who has been struggling all season, played with a consistent flair at quarterback, while Trevor Keuckner continued his usual finesse at catching and running the ball for innumerable scores. The league is made up of seven teams from across the country and is competitive, but “we have a lot of fun,” said Gregg Powers, commissioner of the Atlanta Thunder and a commissioner on the national league. “It’s all about camaraderie, building friendships and mutual respect. We’re a tight knit group,” he said. Flag football appears to be taking off among gays. Last year, the Thunder had 13 players, and this year the size of the team doubled to 26. Plans are underway to establish a full league in Atlanta, with organizers hoping to field three teams at next year’s championships, according to Powers. There are currently no plans in Salt Lake City, but who knows... maybe it will be the next stereotype to fall.
