Center Name Changes
That's right! As you can probably tell from the newsletter
masthead, the Pride Center has changed irs name. The
membership at the February meeting voted overwhelmServingly to change the ·name to Tulsa Gay Co111111u11ity
ices Center (TGCSC). It may take us a bit to get used to
the change, but look for that name to appear on basically
everything we do. Tulsa Oklahomans for Human Rights
will still be our official name, but all of our business will be
done through the TGCSC name. Thank you for all submitted entries in the name change contest.

PrimeTimers Auction To Benefit

The Tulsa Area PrimeTimers
are holding their 2nd annual
Auction to benefit the Tulsa
Gay Community Services Center. The Auction will be held
on Saturday, March 1J, 1999,
from 5:00 to 9:00 PM at the
Center.
If you were there last year, then you already know the
range of items available for bid, including original prints,
paintings, crafts, health care items, gift certificates for dinners, flowers, hair styling, and more. The bidding was fast
and furious as the deadline approached and a great time was
had by all that attended.
The auction is a great opportunity to get out, meet more of
the community and support the community center, so
please attend!
If you would like to donate an antique or new item for the
auction, bring your donation by the Community Center,
specify that it is for the auction, and we'll make sure it gets
to the Prime Timers. Remember ... donations of items and/
or services for the auction are tax-deductible as allowed by
iaw. See you on the 13th !
Jokes Hinder Rights-The Closet
For Another Generation
A few radio stations in Tulsa are advocating hate. Please
contact them, and their advertisers, and tell them you feel
violated by the malicious messages they are sending over
the airwaves. Hate speech equals hate crimes. This hate is
being bred into our youth and it will survive into the next
generation ... This entertainment may have caused the attack at the Pride Center, and the gay bashing at State Bank's
atm.
Larry the cable guy, is a comedian that visited Tulsa for
eight shows at a local comedy club. His show is aired on
K.MYZ 104.5, The Edge. He will be back in town in October. After the chairperson of T.O.H.R.'s advocacy committee requested that Larry discontinue his intolerant behavior
several times, to no avail, T.O.H.R. picketed. Larry's hate is
now broadcasted twice a day on 104.5 "It is all satire" and a
"joke", according to The Edge's morning crew.
Here are several out of context (but exact) quotes from
Larry the Cable Guy's web site, links, and on-air show:
"Bad News is findin' out your brothers queer, crossdressin'
queer, colords, Help there's gooks in my closet, fag, I'm
madder than Jessie Jackson at the airport havin' to answer
the white courtesy phone!, politically correct queers, skinhead watchin' the Jeffersons, happier than a bus load a retards on the way to Chuckie Cheese, colored kook, twinkle
toes folks, pansies, Queer, Colored, and Blackie".
Larry's Promoter, Colleen McGarr (714) 556-9649,fax (714)
556-0819), larry@larrythecableguy.com was shocked when
informed of the on-air quotes. Please contact Colleen and
Dan at the above numbers.
KMYZ, 104.5 The Edge's station owner / manager (Rick
Cohn and Lynn Barstow) ignore letters requesting removal
of the hateful programming and occasional demeaning comments in regards to their distaste for the gay community.
Please call (918)665-3131, fax (918)663-6622,or e-mail them
at: edgetulsa@aol.com.
KMOD, 97.5 has a skit they play daily called "Gaywatch".
It is a radio drama that depicts two gay males, clad in
Speedos, on the beach. The voices are the stereotypical
feminine lisp-filled voices that society has affixed to the g/b/
1/t people. Their "adventures" include stereotypical jaunts
looking for other males, decorating, party planning, and so
on. The morning crew (Phil and Brent), and management
(Allen McLaughlin) has been asked to discontinue this

Equality Begins At Home
Rally At State Capital
A statewide rally has been planned on the south steps of the
state capital on Saturday, March 27, 1999, at 5:30 PM. The
Oklahoma Gay & Lesbian Political Caucus (OGLPC) is
organizing the rally with the assistance of TOHR, PFLAG,
Herland, OGLIC and other state organizations as a call for
more effective state leadership OR as a celebration of state
support against discrimination (pending the outcome of HB
121l). Hundreds of activists are expected to take part and
this will be a great opportunity for the Tulsa community to
lend it's overwhelming support to such a worthy cause. A
charter bus will leave the Community Center at 3 PM on
March 27th. To reserve seats on the charter, contact the
Community Center at 743-4297.
News, page 3
Following last years' horrendous murders of James Byrd in
Jasper, Texas, and Matthew Shepard in Laramie, Wyoming,
a number of state legislators have seen the need to adopt a
hate crimes law at the state level. The proposed legislation
would include protection for gays and lesbians and we will
know by the time this rally takes place if it passes. 1f it
does, this will be a great celebration. If it does not, we will
be demanding to know why.
Oklahoma activists have lobbied unsuccessfully for years
for equal protection and hate crimes laws on the city and
state levels. House Bill 1211, introduced into the state legislature by Rep. Don Ross (D-Tulsa), passed the House Judiciary Committee on February 17, by a slim margin of five
to three. The next step is to move the bill to the House
floor during the next two weeks for a full vote.
Parents, religious leaders and human rights supporters from
across the state have been asked to call their legislators. If
HB 1211 doesn't pass, the actions of those state leaders who
vote against it will be duly noted and efforts will only become stronger.
For information on contacting your legislators, contact the
Community Center at 743-4297 or PFLAG at 749-4901.

The aforementioned folks accommodate what people want,
not what is right. If allowed to continue their blasphemy, it

For more information or sample letters to send to these people, please write to: conformabdull@webzone.net, or call
the Community Center.
