Local News xxNews Updated 2-25-00
ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER, BOYS DON'T CRY NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
Update (2-24): The new issue of the Oklahoma Gazette contains rave reviews of both All About My Mother and Boys Don't Cry by John Pickard.
Word has it that attendance figures for these two movies are not what they could be. This, despite major efforts on behalf of these movies by the FILMHEADS Webmistress and
GayOKC.com, and glowing reviews from Kathryn Jenson White in the Daily Oklahoman (surprise! surprise!). Certainly one factor as far as All About My Mother is concerned is the complete lack of any kind of advance or even current advertising. This film is supposed to be part of an experiment by the Brixton Square theater ownership to see if there is enough of a paying audience to justify showing "art-house" type movies at the theater. How is this experiment going to have a fair chance for success if they don't anything to attract an audience?
Please go see these movies! Our local theaters won't bring independent GLBT movies to Oklahoma City if we don't go to see them!

OPEN LETTER TO ISTOOK
Dear Representative Istook:
In your latest newsletter you have printed an endorsement from Laura Schlessinger praising your term in office.  Ms. Schlessinger has referred to gay men and women as "biological errors" and "deviants". Since you have demonstrated your pride in her opinion of you, do you also share her homophobic attitude?
If you
do share her attitude, Representative Istook, may I ask you when you have ever had a first hand experience of a gay man or woman preventing you from receiving the full benefit of your Constitutionally protected civil rights?
If you
don't share Schlessinger's homophobia, why did you vote no on the Employment Non-discrimination Act, known as ENDA, which would prevent employment discrimination in regard to sexual orientation?
Do you think it would be appropriate for people like Schlessinger to refer to Blacks, Jews, or Mormons with racial or stereotyped epithets? You have associated yourself with a hate-monger.
Please don't reply to me with bible verses--I believe that sex and religion should be practiced in private, between consenting adults. I am concerned with civil rights for all USA citizens, not religious demagogery.


Sincerely,
James Nimmo
