ATLANTA BARB-Page 10
Chattanooga Chatter
Sorry we missed you last
month, but your writer just
couldn’t get it together in time
for the last deadline. Oh, well,
shall we try again?.
Seems like every time we'turn
around, there’s another pag
eant to be participated in/or
attend. March 8th was the date
and the Cumberland Delta
Queen was the setting for the
Miss Gay Tennessee pageant.
Representing Chattanooga
very well this year wereCher-
ice Nicole, Amber Synclair
(Miss Gay Chattanooga ’74),
Misti Dawn, Trisha Danelli,
and Diana Carter The win
ner was surprisingly enough
from Nashville and a bartend
er at the Delta Queen
The pageant was fun and the
talent was tremendous. Of
course, our own Daisy Dalton
was there to add to the success
and highlighted the evening
when she crowned Jamie Sum
mers, Miss Gay Tennessee
1974. Daisy’s done a lot of
crowning lately. I wonder
wholl be next?
I don’t know how populai
streaking is where you are, but
it’s growing here. Recently, a
well known Chattanooga
“vampire” streaked through a
local bar and on a dare. I
could have told them not to
dare him. He’s likely to do
almost anything.
Dogwood '74
Speaking of “doing,” Trisha
Dandii would like to announce
her desire for a real Atlanta
man. And speaking of Trisha,
there’s a gay band forming in
which she will be lead drum
mer, or organist And, believe
me, from what I hear she can
really beat thoseskins and play
the organ very wdl.
The “new Powder Puff” is
well on its way to opening
^t 28 E. Main St, on May
S'rd. Bobby Sue and Ronnie
]*ave literally worked jheir
asseg off with just a little help
from their friends. Honestly, the
new place is much more ele
gant >- it will not only be a
frice show bar, but a restaur
ant as well. We already miss
the.old location ~ we miss the
Quickie next door and I would
readily suppose that quite a
few of our regulars miss bdng
so close to f214 at the Pat
ten. I’ve even heard that oui
local “red neck” was caught
coming down in he elevator
214 must be something.
Last flash of news! C.C. has
visited thelocaljail house again
on charges of indecent expo
sure ana she wasn’t even on
stage - nor was she streaking.
She was just getting a little sun
in her own way.
Til next time,, your favorit
“fag hag’ signing off and say
ing “if it feds good - do it.’

cocktail party after which

icipation of all in this fun
filled event.
If you’ve never attended

vent you don’t know what
vou’ve missed. Just ask
my of the nearly fifteen
focal independants who
did all right for themselves
in all categories. See you
next year at “Dogwood
‘75?”

The "New” Towers Lounge
Girls; you have always
wanted a nice place to go in At
lanta. Well, here it is. The Tow
ers Lounge located at 735 For
rest Rd. N.E.. has just recently
ly been acquired by B.C. &nd
Fish, a well known couple in
Adanta, and they have com
pletely remodeled the place. For
those of you who use to fre
quent the old Towers, you
wouldn’t even recognize the)
place. You must go and see fori
yourself. A grand opening par
ty is planned soon.
Oh yes, the bartender pic
tured above, adds to the place,
too. He is “Mike,” a hand

girls and baseball. Although

Qs Do you feel that homosex
uals can raise healthy, normal
children?
A. This is a very diffi
cult and profound ques

truly homosexual, then the
children must of necessity
be adopted. If the chi Id does

outside world is heterosex
ual and I feel that any child
exposed to homosexua
lity must become confused.
Q. Can Psychiatric treat
ment help change a true
homosekuai?
From a practical view
point, very few homo
sexuals respond to psychi
atric "therapy. Whether
it’s the “fault” of the
psychiatric treatment
or the fact that the per
son hirrself doesn’t really
want to change is argu
mentative.
Are You The
Jealous Type?
by Jose Gaye
Jealousy is natural to human
beasts and selfish dogs. Anyone
who owns a dog or a cat knows
it craves exclusive attention
Where a dog is concerned, such
craving is somewhat ju stifled
because, after all, it is owned
even if it doesn’t realize it. But
humans don’t own each other,
or at least they’re notsupposed
to. Thus, jealousy is not based
on pure self interest There’s
no concern for the loved one’s
joy or happiness. That he or
she is having a good time
makes no difference. In fact,
Ithe more joy enjoyed, the worse
it seems to the jealous partner.
He visualizes in his mind’s eye
all of the sensual and erotic
pumping taking place and
turns blind with rage. He can’t
bear the thought that pleasure
exists outside of his own ex
perience He doesn’t stop to
think that his lover’s' widened
experience may, in fact, con
tribute to his own pleasure and
excitement After all we must
have times when we are out
going in order to enjoy our life
at home Whether we talk with
Dthers, play with others, read
books by others or whatever,
all of it helps to make us more
exciting company for those who
are closest to us.
If you’re stung by jealousy,
try looking at things from an
other viewpoint If you try to;
hold onto your lover too tight
ly while you’re dancing your
dance will be clumsy. If you
are tense and tight, rather than
loose and free, you’ll step all
over your partner’s feet. At the
same time; if you are good
company, your lover woiil
want to dance too far away
from you. He won’t get lost in
the crowd. He’ll be lingering
aearby, always eager to touch
you, happiest when he sees the
smile or pleasure he’s capable
of evoking in your face.
He loves you, and is hap
piest when you’re happy. He
wants you to be happy first
and foremost And, of course,
you want the same for him.
Your own selfish interests 3X6
not nearly as important Your
own silly rgo is forgotten simp
ly because your exclusivepride
in ownership is dead - or should
be! You don’t own his body.
He doesn’t own yours.Let him
do with his body whatever he
wishes and you 11 find, if you
don’t press die issue, that he’s
likely to prefer you to £ny other
That’s why he’s your lover,
isn’t it?
It’s important to keep in mind
however, that sexual freedom,
like any freedom, can be mis
used. In the name of sexual
liberation many unfortunates
are unkind and hateful to each
other. Sexual adventures out
side are not used to enhance
the quality of home life, but
rather to “get back” or retal
iate sexually. A dolt who does
this is the sort who says, “You
had your fling last night, so
I’m going to have mine to
night” Or,‘ you f— Bill, now
I’m going to f—John,thehand-
some guy youcouldn’tgetyour
paws on. ,
