Dear Editor: We would appreciate it if you print the following letter in your great news paper as our funds are dwindling and could use replenishing. Thank you. LETTER: Have you ever spent an evening at home, alone, flipping through the Yellow Pages of your telephone book? If you have you probably were startled to find in column four oh page 109 just below Gate City Elks Lodge No. 54 and just above the Geor gia Alcohol Readers As sociation the Gay Infor mation Service. Can you believe that? Well, look us up sometime, we just might have the right infor mation for you, but HUR RY! We know where all the bars are and when a new one opens we will be the first to know. Unfor tunately we might not be able to tell you what's hap pening in Atlanta much lon ger. Why? We are running out *of financial energy. President Nixon has im pounded our funds so we must turn to you for help. Only you can save us from the clutches of some vi cious telephone represen tative ripping out our phones, or an impersonal postman refusing to ac cept our unstamped let ters, and our printer burs ting down our door de manding money. You can save us! Quickly find your check book, now, look for a pen, no a pencil won’t do. Take the pen in hand, open your check book, enter todays date in the appropriate space. Make the check payable to G. I. S., or Gay Informa tion Service. Now in the space following the dollar sign enter the digit one (1), now and add as many zeros as you can spare (remember zeros are place holders for nothing). Af-' Because of the tremen dous response we had from last month’s article, “Atl antis Motorcycle Club’’ from our readers request ing information about the club, we have asked the President to answer a few questions for us. Question: What does S&M stand for? Answer: Depending upon the degree of involvement ter entering the appro priate number of zeros, place a decimal point in, I mean toward the rear of the last zero and add two more zeros and you will have just saved the Gay Information Service. Much Love, GIS The Gay Information Service is operated solely from contributions, so- please send whatever amount you can spare to: Gay Information Service P. O. Box 7974, Atlanta Georgia 30309. in the scene and in some cases the section of the country in which one lives, S can mean either slave or sadist, while M stands for either master or maso chist. Question: Are all the peo ple who go to a leather, western or levi bar in volved in S&M? Answer: Absolutely not! Many simply, enjoy the more masculine atmos phere, while others are turned on by the dress of the patrons. Only a smell percentage of those dres sed in leather or levis are involved in a heavy S&M scene. Question: How can I tell if some one is involved in S&M? Answer: Generally the way a person is dressed gives some indication, but the best way is simply to talk to the individual. Most of ithe time you’ll get an ho nest answer. Question: Some said that keys worn on the left side indicate the person is a master? Answer: This is general ly true but never jump to conclusions. If interested ask. Question: Do all guys in the leather scene ride mo torcycles? Answer: No. Only a small percentage (perhaps 25%) of the people in the leath er and S&M scene ride motorcycles. However, most are turned on by mo torcycles which are, to a degree, a sex symbol. If you have a question about the S&M scene, mo torcycling or leather and levi people, write: The Leather Guys, c/o Atlanta Barb - P. O. Box 82543 Atlanta, Georgia 30354.
