Gay march honors freedom
Path of freedom
march celebrates
beginning of gay
rights movement
NEW YORK (AP) — Led by a
mile-long rainbow banner, hun
dreds of thousands of gays
marched Sunday along a “path
of freedom” to commemorate the
bar riot that ushered in the gay
rights movement 25 years ago.
They marched in the shadow
of AIDS, arm in arm, hand in
hand, out and proud under a
bright, sunny sky — and with a
plea for tolerance.
“It’s amazing that in 25 years
we’ve come so far, from when
you couldn’t get out of a gay bar
to where you fill the streets
proudly,” said Jerry Clifford,
who helped carry the giant ny
lon banner along what he called
“a continuous path of freedom.”
City officials said it was the
biggest gathering in a decade,
bigger even than the Statue of
Liberty centennial celebration in
1986. Police Chief John Timoney
called it “the busiest day in the
Police Department’s history,”
with thousands of extra officers
called out for crowd and traffic.
Marchers ranged from the
city’s Republican mayor,
Rudolph Giuliani, to Annalife
Mannix-Blackner, a lesbian
mother from Key West, Fla.,
who came with her lover and
their 7-month-old son.
The Stonewall Inn was a
Greenwich Village gay bar
whose patrons fought off a police
raid in 1969. The riot became
the rallying point of the gay lib
eration movement.
Although the 25th anniver
sary was billed as a celebration
of gay unity, it also illustrated
divisions in the movement.
Most of the marchers rally to
protest gay-rights abuses
around the world.
A smaller contingent focusing
on the fight against AIDS start
ed at Stonewall and marched up
Fifth Avenue. They had no city
permit, but police closed off
Fifth Avenue to traffic and did
n’t interfere with the march.
The Fifth Avenue march was
led by Sylvia Rivera, a transves
tite who fought police at
Stonewall. Rivera had dropped
out of sight in recent months
and was feared dead.
“I’m here to see that we still
have the guts to take Fifth Av
enue,” said Rivera, who wore
black pumps, a gold dress and
red nail polish.
The march up First Avenue,
dubbed Stonewall 25, was as
peaceful as Stonewall ’69 was
violent.
There was little or no hazing
from the sidewalks, no scrapes
with police. A number wore
medals from the Gay Games.
Earthquake rocks
eastern California
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — A moderate earthquake shoo?,
sleepers awake, rattled supermarket shelves and broke wit
dows early Sunday in the east San Francisco Bay area.
No injuries were reported, although the 4.2-magnitude quas;
was felt as far north as the Napa Valley and as far south asSa.'
Jose after it struck at 1:42 a.m., centered about three milt
north of Berkeley.
“It was a really solid quake, a series of jolts,” said Mars
Towns, a manager at a 24-hour Lucky’s supermarket in El Cer
rito. “It just rocked the whole building. We had damage down®
percent of the aisles.”
Staff and customers temporarily evacuated the store.
Storefront windows broke at a Berkeley Safeway, andSar
Jose police reported the shock rocked the third floor of their
earthquake-reinforced headquarters.
The quake struck along the Hayward Fault, according to Lc
Page, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Geological Survey in Merit
Park.

Expulsion policy helps schools
San Antonio schools initiate policy to
expel all offenders, regardless of past
SAN ANTONIO (AP) —
Weary of violence and disruptive
behavior in the classroom, sev
eral school districts have adopt
ed policies to expel all offenders,
regardless of their disciplinary
or academic histories.
Proponents of the “zero toler
ance” initiative say it has re
duced the number of incidents
involving disruptive behavior.
Drugs, weapons and verbal or
physical abuse also have de
creased, they say.
“All I’ve got to go by is what
the teachers are telling me about
how much better it is on the
campuses,” said Steve Black
mon, director of pupil services
for Judson Independent School
District. “The discipline prob
lems are fewer and less severe.”
The Judson, San Antonio and
Southside districts have imple
mented zero tolerance policies.
In the Southside district, 15
people were expelled this year.
more than triple the number of
students removed from the dis
trict’s campuses during the pre
vious four years.
The Judson district supple
mented its zero tolerance code
with a police department. Offi
cers issue citations for disorder
ly conduct. Municipal judges
handling the cases often give
stiff sentences, including fines
and community service, Black
mon said.
Proponents of the tough poli
cies say such rigidity is neces
sary to ensure students know
the consequences of their ac
tions and to allow administra
tors to dispense discipline with
out fear of retaliation.
“There are certain violations
that are nonnegotiable, whether
you’re an honor student or
straight-D student,” said Shelly
Potter, president of the San An
tonio Federation of Teachers.
But critics say the policies
leave little room for leniency.
“There will be some cast!
that don’t quite fit,” saidlJ.
Richeson, president of the Sat
Antonio Teachers Council andj
25-year teaching veteran.“II
you have no judgment built inti
your system, you’re goingli
have injustice.”
Critics point to a casea:
Alamo Heights High Schoil,
where in April one of til
school’s top students was citd
for alleged possession of dm
paraphernalia.
The Alamo Heights distrki
does not have a formal zero to!
erance policy, but officials sai
they exercise a “get-tough atti
tude” that has resulted in expiil
sion for every drug possession
case during the past seven years
“When you have a student
who’s worked hard to excel
during his or her school career
it seems inappropriate to appli
an inflexible policy that does
not take into account that
background,” the Alai
Heights student’s father toll
the San Antonio Express-New
in Sunday’s editions.
Religious harassment
guidelines redrafted
Citizens argue over definition of
harassment in the workplace
WASHINGTON (AP) — They arrived by the thousands — letters,
postcards, handwritten notes on looseleaf paper. Some bore biblical
passages. Others featured pictures of flowers or clouds.
And almost all of them — nearly 56,000 at last count — asked the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to scuttle its proposed
guidelines defining religious harassment in the workplace.
“Quite frankly, I think you have gone off the deep end,” agreed
John Alquist of Charlotte, N.C.
“It is unnatural for people not to talk about politics and religion,
even in the workplace,” Alquist wrote. “If you can stifle religious dis
cussion, will political dissent be next? Besides, who gave you the
right to suspend the First Amendment, anyway?”
The EEOC says the draft guidelines issued last October were
merely an attempt to interpret and explain existing law.
“The purpose of the guidelines was not to create any new legal
theories or in any way abridge the exercise of free religion in the
workplace,” says commission spokesman Reginald Welch.
Nevertheless, the proposed guidelines triggered howls of protest
from citizens fearing they would create “religion-free work zones,” or
mandate freedom from religion instead of freedom of religion.
“I am guaranteed freedom to practice my faith so long as it does
not hinder the freedom of others to practice theirs. Or not to prac
tice,” wrote Don and Kathy Fredrickson of Gladstone, Ore.
The controversy erupted last fall after Atlanta labor lawyer Dud
ley Rochelle began advising her business clients that the only way to
avoid religious harassment lawsuits under the guidelines would be
to eliminate all religious expression from the workplace.
Church groups quickly got involved, deluging congressional offices
and the EEOC with letters and telephone calls.
More than 130 House members have cosponsored legislation to re
quire the EEOC to remove religion from its harassment guidelines.
The Senate voted 94-0 on June 17 to urge the EEOC to rewrite the
proposed guidelines.
The resolution, sponsored by Sen. Howell Heflin, D-Ala., and Sen.
Hank Brown, R-Colo., also asks the commission to make clear in any
new guidelines on workplace harassment that religious symbols or
expressions of religious beliefs are not restricted and cannot be used
to prove harassment.
As originally drafted, the guidelines define unlawful harass
ment as any verbal or physical conduct that “denigrates or shows
hostility or aversion toward an individual because of his-her ... re
ligion ... or that of his-her relatives, friends or associates.”
Mosque
Continued from Page 1
intelligence reports focused
on possible violence by Mus
lim militants against Jewish
settlers.
“We do not believe that any
one can be blamed for not hav
ing foreseen the fact that a
Jew would plan and carry out
a massacre of Muslims in the
Tomb of the Patriarchs,” the
report said.
The commission said the
mosque gunman, Baruch Gold
stein, could perhaps have been
stopped had the full guard de
tail shown up at the tomb on
the morning of the massacre.
Five out of 10 guards were
absent, including three who
overslept.
The panel left it up to the
army to file disciplinary
charges,
Goldstein, a physician who
immigrated from New York,
walked into the tomb dressed
in his army reserve uniform
and opened fire with a Galil
assault rifle on rows of wor
shipers.
He was bludgeoned to death
by worshipers.
“The massacre ... was a
base and murderous act in
which innocent people bending
in prayer to their maker were
killed,” said the report. “The
massacre was one of the
harshest expressions of the
Jewish-Arab conflict.”
Simpson
tapes end
jurors probe
Release of 911 tapes
force judge to decide
if amount of evidence
warrants a trial
LOS ANGELES (AP)-
An enraged O.J. Simpson
threatened to beat his ex
wife and accused her of hav'
ing sex in front of their chil
dren, according to a tape of a
911 call electronically en
hanced for The Associated
Press on Saturday.
Simpson’s ex-wife,
Nicole, placed the emer
gency call last fall after
Simpson allegedly broke
into her home. Much of the
tape remains unintelligible
or out of context, but com
ments that previously were
inaudible can be heard in
the enhancement.
“No use me hitting you.
You know, I don’t give a s—
anymore,” Simpson says.
“Could you please leave?
Please leave. Please leave,"
Ms. Simpson says.
“I’m leaving with my two
fists is when I’m leaving,"
Simpson responds.
At another point in the
tape, Ms. Simpson asks
Simpson to be quiet because
“the kids are sleeping.” He
replies by accusing her of
committing a sexual act in
the living room.
Meanwhile, a member of
the grand jury investigating
Simpson said he and other
jurors heard the 911 tapes
on television.
“The only way you could
avoid it was not watch TV."
the unidentified juror told
the Los Angeles Times in a
report published Saturday.
The grand jurors had
been told not to view, listen
to or read reports about the
Simpson case. But the juror
said they were not told to
avoid TV.
“This was just news,” he
said. “It was a surprise to us
when it came on.”
The release of the 911
tapes prompted Superior
Court Judge Cecil Mills to
end the grand jury’s probe
Friday. Prosecutors will now
bring the case to a judge
Thursday to determine if
there is enough evidence for
a trial.
