Gay activists
rally support
for AIDS victims
AUSTIN (AP) — About 100 gay
rights activists protested Monday by
chanting and clapping in the ro
tunda of the Capitol building and
drawing hundreds of chalk Figures
on sidewalks to depict Texas victims
of AIDS.
The protesters, part of about
15,000 who rallied at the Capitol
Sunday, also attended state House
and Senate sessions Monday as law
makers approved resolutions com
mending people who care for AIDS
sufferers.
“We aren’t going back into the
closet,” said William Waybourn,
president of the Dallas Gay Alliance.
“AIDS has killed too many people.”
The Capitol rally also attracted
about 40 counter-protesters.
Earlier, the gay rights group had
unfurled banners ‘from the third
floor of the Capitol that were im
printed with chalk-drawing-type Fig
ures like those lining the sidewalks
and the Great Walk leading to the
Capitol south steps.
The group clapped and chanted
for several minutes, calling for legis
lation to help AIDS victims and to
stop what they say is discrimination
against homosexuals.
Mark Weaver, Texas leader of the
American Family Association, led
the counter-protesters, who held
signs saying, “You Don’t Have To Be
Gay.”
Weaver said his group believes
AIDS is being spread through ho
mosexual acts in adult video shops
and bookstores.
The House and Senate approved
resolutions commending “educators
and care givers on the front lines of
the battle against AIDS,” or acquired
immune deficiency syndrome.
“All of us realize that in this ses
sion we have to address the question
of AIDS,” said Sen. Craig Washing
ton, D-Houston, a member of the
legislative task force on AIDS, who
sponsored the Senate resolution.

DALLAS (AP) — Religious congregations and
their ministers, traditionally aloof from local po
litical races, have increasing!) become involved
with candidates and issues, officials said.
Political observers have always respected the
political clout of Protestant denominations in the
Afro-American community.
But more Anglo churches may be realizing the
value of some form of political involvement in
city races, said political consultant Lisa LeMaster.
“You can’t knock on doors on Sunday morn
ing, and that’s because people are gone,” she told
the Dallas Morning News. “So you go where they
are.”
Political candidates are visiting more churches
during the council election season than during
the early 1980s, she said.
But another political consultant, Carol Reed,
said that election participation by Anglo religious
groups is still, small by comparison to their black
counterparts.
“In the majority community, you don’t see
much of that, and you still don’t see politicking
going on at the churches,” said Reed, who heads
Dallas Mayor Annette Strauss’ campaign.
Catholic officials, in an attempt to gauge grass
roots opinions among parishioners, created the
Justice and Peace Commission.
When the panel asked parishioners about
problems, issues like crime and school dropout
rates were mentioned, said Tony Mansueto, com
mission director for the Catholic Diocese of Dal
las.
“As we began to analyze behind that, some of
the causes of those problems related to the lack
of adequate representation,” Mansueto told the
newspaper.
He said single-member council districts were
envisioned as a method to provide better rfl I
resentation for Hispanics, along with black
poor Anglos and other disenfranchised groups
Bishop Thomas Tschoepe has urged pariste
ners in a letter to “work actively” to restructulj
city council districts so that minorities will hast
larger role in Dallas government.
A 14-member charter review committee isik|
considering reshaping the city charter.
Tschoepe said the current configuration!:
eight single-member council districts and tta
at-large seats discriminates against minorities:!
said racism is a sin that “offends the fundamenl
dignity of the human person.”
Church officials do not endorse any candidi
but “I try to encourage the people to vote, look
the issues, study the issues and vote according
their conscience,” said Tschoepe.
