Lesbian? Gay? Alcoholic?

Is there a relationship between alcoholism and AIDS? According to the San Francisco AIDS/Substance Abuse Task Force: "Drugs and alcohol are known to cause a variety of health problems. Recent research has indicated that alcohol, as well as such street drugs as amphetamines (speed), marijuana, and nitrite inhalants (poppers), all damage the immune system, leaving the user open to infection and cancer." It is important for individuals to evaluate their alcohol and drug use.

For more information, write to the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, 54 Tenth Street, San Francisco, California 94103-1360. Ask for a copy of their brochure Alcohol, Drugs, and AIDS. They also distribute

I have just finished reading Dennis Wholey's The Courage to Change (Houghton Mifflin, 1984) and he totally ignores lesbians in his chapter on homosexuality. Are there any books which focus on lesbian alcoholics?

Yes! Jean Swallow's Out From Under: Sober Dykes and Our Friends is available from Spinster's Ink, 803 DeHaro Street, San Francisco, CA 94107 for $8.95.

Out From Under is a collection of essay's, short stories, and poems that cover such topics as "The Days of Our Recovery," "The Healers Among Us," "The Politics of Our Addictions," and "The Way Forward." It is good reading for gay men as well as lesbians and nonalcoholics as well as alcoholics.

To Seek Divine Potential

A comfortable welcoming church has opened in Mayfield Heights. Eight months ago the Reverend Joan M. Gattuso established Mayfield's First Unity Church. It is a place where everyone is encouraged to seek their Divine Potential. Mayfield Unity is a ministry for those dedicated to travelling the spiritual path. In its welcoming pamphlet the Reverend Joan explains what Unity can give. "We offer a way of life that truly makes a difference, that transforms your personal, professional and economic wellbeing.. .We see all people as free, unlimited and whole beings, filled with infinite possibilities. . .Mayfield Unity is about awakening and realizing one's divine potential."

Mayfield Unity describes itself as a Church of Peace and Joy."

to Grace Local Screens

With the CWRU Film Society series ending May 5 and the current listing for the New Mayfield carrying only to May 19, choices of movies with specifically gay

content are limited.

You might try The 4th Man,

a 1983 Netherlands film at Stroscker on Saturday, May 4, showing at 6, 8, and 10 pm.

Highlight of the New Mayfield series in May is Queen Kelly (1929), starring Gloria Swanson and directed by Von Stroheim.

As far as we know, it is not gay in any sense and cannot be passed off as such, even though in earlier films Swanson had done drag highlight. Queen Kelly is beautifully. Still, it is a playing May 3 and 4, at 7:30

and 9:30.

Otherwise, on May 5 the New Mayfield is running Murnau's 1927 film, Sunrise. Probably not gay, either, except that it Janet. Gaynor and we all know how Murnau died. Sunrise plays at 3, 5, and 7.
