Opening Day at Metropolitan Community Church's own building in Los Angeles. Pat Rocco sang.

up several times as solo vocalist at MCC. The almost devotional manner in which Pat approached Gay love was not to the liking of all patrons at the Park and similar theatres, and as hardcore came in, films like Pat's became harder to market. Pat wasn't at all shy about recognizing the word sex in the word homoSEXual but he drew the line at pornography.

He went another time to Mt. Baldy for a documentary on Troy Perry. He filmed the first two Christopher Street West parades (SPREE having a large contingent in each).

He filmed the Gay Liberation Front's first Griffith Park "Gay-In," and put his cameras away only moments before a deliberate police provocation nearly turned the picnic into a riot. At a Gay Lib dance after the first CSW parade, he again put away his cameras moments before the announcement of Troy Perry's arrest turned that affair also into a near riot (the second such occasion only in L.A. Gay history).

ONE has for eight years been taking groups of Gays from all over the U.S. to visit the Gay centers and other tourist attractions in Europe. This year the thought occurred to us: why not get a film record of these unique meetings of the homophile movements

of two so-very different continents? And who better to film it than Pat Rocco, whose films were introduced to European groups by members of an earlier ONE Tour?

If you'd like to join ONE, Pat Rocco and Troy Perry for a very Gay tour of Europe, don't wait another

day. Reservations are just about closed out. Otherwise, you'll certainly wish to see the elegant gift book being planned about the tour, or reserve your seat at one of the "Premieres' of the film being planned in different cities.
