Democratic Party," he said. "I want to go into
their offices and drop fifty new members on
their desk and make them recognize us and
work with us."
Speaking to the same theme of victory in
spite of defeat, Robison stated during his
concession speech, "I am just elated.... I don't
feel as if we have lost anything." He was
extremely upbeat, echoing Rhodes in calling
for greater participation by gays and lesbians
at the grass-roots level. Although he claimed
to have no intention of running himself, he
called for people to get involved now in the
1989 Atlanta mayoral and city council races.
In other races watched closely by the
lesbian and gay community, DeKalb County
Commissioner Brince Manning was defeated
by Annie S. Collins with 61.7% of the vote.

"The ten-year-old-me still wants to be a star,"
Angela cautiously confides. "The adult-me
just wants to keep having dreams. Right now

Lesbian and Gay Rights Proclamation.
Democrat Ben Jones won the right to take
on Republican Representative Pat Swindall
(R-GA) in the 4th Congressional District with
his decisive win over challengers Nick
Moraitakis and John Stcmbler. Jones,
considered to be middle of the road on
lesbian/gay issues, is considered by many to
be the best bet to defeat homophobe
Swindall. Judge Leah Sears-Collins, an
Atlantia Traffic Court judge, will face attorney
Harris C. Bostic in a run-off for Superior
Court judge on August 30th. Sears-Collins
recievcd 42.6% of the vote. She campaigned
within the lesbian/gay community
extensively. Richard (Dick) Rubin, also a
Superior Court candidate, was defeated.
Rubin was also seen at many lesbian/gay
political functions.
•Chris Duncan

radio dials to find the station where my song
is playing and, ultimately, to hear them saying
Tm sick of that Angela Motter song!'."
It hasn't been an easy transition for Angela
to escape the rigid formal training from ballet
and classical music to the pop-jazz-funk she
plays all over town now. "It's not easy being a
recovering Catholic," she explains. One look
at the spiked hair, naked midriff and frayed
jeans show that Angela Motter has come a
long way since she first discovered music in
the fifth grade. Carole King would be proud.
