CLASSIFIEDS

Dear Butch,

My friend and I are a bit mystified by some of the initials used in Campaign's Classifieds. We have asked several people our own age but we are still in the dark.

We thoroughly enjoy reading your column and thanks for printing the hanky code, as we had never heard of it up here in Brisbane.

Dear Puzzled,

Puzzled Brisbane

You are not the only person who is mystified. It seems that every combination of popular gay pastimes has found its way into the Classifieds, accompanied by equally puzzling initials. I have gone over the last twelve months of Personals and (with some help from my friends) have come up with the following: ALA stands for All Letters Answered. It means that the advertiser will reply to everyone who writes and this is a sign of politeness and good breeding. S&M indicate Sadism and Masochism, a relationship based on give andtake, especially where pain is involved. F/F has to do with a popular practice of exploring posterior regions with fists. W/S indicates water sports but not the sort you will find at Surfers Paradise. B&D stand for Bondage and Discipline, a kind of Dog Obedience Class for adults. T/T shows that the advertiser is keen to stimulate (or "tease") sensitive areas on your chest. CP and CD relate to corporal punishment and discipline. If you have ever been to a strict boarding school you will know just what I mean. T/V does not mean television. Rather it says that the advertiser is easy to buy clothes for since he wears the garments of both sexes. The following initials I am a little unsure about (being basically innocent and pure of heart): CM (not the radio), G/S (genuine satisfaction?), G.R., F.R., W/M, T/W, S/S, SCI. If anyone can enlighten me, please do so, so I can pass it on. Finally, Puzzled, remember that E.T. means Even Tempered and YFB means Your friend, Butch

Dear Butch,

Hi! I am a 19-year-old female and straight. I have recently bought a copy of Campaign for the first time. I think it is a great paper. I just want you to know that I think it is wrong for people to knock gays. I enjoy being in their company and they are always pleasant and friendly. Anway, I feel much better around women than I do around men. All the best.

Dear Reader,

A Reader Penrith

If more people had your tolerant attitude life would be easier for all of us. Unfortunately society makes it difficult for anyone who is different. You sound a little pissed-off with men. Don't give up hope

we all have days like that. Thanks for writing. Your friend,

Dear Butch,

Alas! What have I done? In my senility (for I am indeed past thirty) I have grown hair upon my upper lip. Now I see in the Classifieds an abundance of moustache lovers and moustache haters. Has old age denied me some vital piece of knowledge? What message does my moustache give off that I am unware of? Your urgent aid is awaited by my barber and myself.

Dear Mostaccio,

My Granny always warned me never to trust a man with a moustache or anyone over six-feet tall. When I asked why, she would sagely reply "You'll find out!" I am still waiting to meet the six-foot moustachioed Rat who will make me appreciate Granny's advice. Meanwhile I can understand your uneasiness about the contents of your upper lip. I have often puzzled over the "No mo disclaimers in the Classifieds, and many's the time I have felt positively naked when I discovered I was the only person with a bare upper lip in an otherwise hairy. bar. Perhaps the hostility to moe's is technical one: facial hair can irritate sensitive skin. It is not always visually pleasant especially (and now I am being brutally frank) if it contains organic proof of your last headcold. Perhaps, too, the love/ hate relationship with moe's is sociological. If you stand on Oxford Street long enough you do become aware of certain similarities amongst the male pedestrians: tight torn jeans, sleeveless 'Muscle' sweaters, short-cropped hair and, crowning it all, a little glossy mo probably just like yours. Not every guy wants a relationship with someone who looks like himself, hence the hostility to moe's. But before you shave it off, remember that history is

filled with the famous moustached: Clark Gable, Adolph Hitler and even Queen Victoria (in her later years). Might I suggest a compromise? Why not remove half your moustache? Then you can conform and be the different at same time. I am sure even Granny would approve. Your friend, Butch

Dear Butch,

to the

I recently moved country with my family and left very dear friends behind. One of them was quite special to me, a real spunk in fact. Although he is older than me, we got on superbly. Both of us were into CB radio and mainly talked over the airwaves rather than in person. The thing is that we always spoke to each other as lovers. Our friends listening-in thought

were just mucking around but I was serious. At times he would back off and make a joke of it so people would not think anything of our conservations. He did make an on-air pass at me once or twice but we both laughed about it so our friends would not suspect anything. I am broken hearted now that we are apart. I also want to find out his real feelings for me. I think it should be easier now that our friends cannot judge us. What do I do?

Dear Off-The-Air,

Off-The-Air Lismore

♡♡♡

I imagine it would be difficult to have an intimate relationship if all your friends were listening in. I wonder if your CB bloke has actually

come to terms with being gay. It is surprising he did not do more about it than just talk. Are you sure he was only backing off so your friends would not guess? Perhaps he is reluctant to face the truth himself. He was chatting you up at a safe distance and making a joke of it when things Continued on page 31
