BERLAND SISTER RESOURCES, I C.
1630 N.W. 19, Okla. City, 0 73106
The Oklahoma City chapter of the state Gay Political Caucus met last month and were told by
State Representative Rebecca Hamilton,
at
AIDS is a "disease that can change history."
Hamilton, the chair of the House Public He th
Committee, has .iust returned from a tour of the
Center for Disease Control in Atlanta where
"even the doctors are afraid. They say it could
be right up there with the great plagues of history," Hamilton said.
en asked about new legislation concerning t ·
sensitive sibject, Hamilton reported that altho h
there has been some talk about Rep. Bill Graves'
pushing a bill that would make AIDS tests m d tory for marriage licenses and with pregn cy
tests, she believes that no new legislation is
needed, at least in Oklahoma. "By the time l wa
set passed, they might work against the best · terests of those most concerned," she added.
Hamilton agrees that it is a very serious po lie
health problem but says that the State He th
Department is handling it. Although she believes
in educating the public about AIDS, she says ·
that if the gene~al population realizes the pote tial of the disease, it will become very sc ed.
d the "public is dangerous when scared." "Yo
scare people enough and they'll do anything," s e
remarked, "things 'they wouldn't think of doing if
they weren't scared."
T e best advice she had for swaying legislative
opinions was to make ourselves known as people,
persons to them. "Once they see that you, the
homosexuals, are real people, then maybe they
will be less likely to hurt you."
To have an effect on the Legislature, she ursed
attendees to "get involved with the campaign of
supportive candidates, to become faces, pe
to legislators and to learn the rules and how to
use the rules for one's own purposes."
The Caucus has a very effective lobbyist, Keith
Smith-. Anyo e who would lilc~ more informat io

LETT
TO THE EDITO
Dear Sisters:
en I returned to Enid after the women's retreat 'at Osage Hills State Park, I felt compelled
to express my impressions of the weekend. I
wrote a poem, which I am now submitting to yo
for possible publication in Herland's newsletter. I
feel a personal need to make my own contri tion to the efforts that leading Okla. lesbians
are currently and courageously putting forth;
ly through such organized efforts can we ppre>ach gaining the human rights that are truly
0
I sincerely hope that you will publish this po
as I feel it will offer encouragement to thee
hr ve women in continuing to take social ris
as a necessary phase of our struggle to be f
I also feel the poem could potentially insp
more women to be honest about and proud
th ir lesbianism.
. Smith acted
e law? I think not. Yet, whe
to protect herself, the full measure of the 1 w
w s brought against her. As District Attorney,
. Macy, you have discretion as to what charges will be filed and who will be prosecuted. It
w s within your capacity to find that Sarah
Saith acted in self-defense and to refuse to file
any charges against her. You knew she had been
severely beaten on that occasion and throughout
r lationship
c
to your statement
e D · 0
, 11-15-85), "She h d a
· bed cap c ty to
derstan th nature
her acts." In spite of this knowledge, you fil
first degree murder charges against Sarah Smith.
en a reduction of the charge can't make your
actions just.
est assured, Mr. Macy, that we will not forget
Sarah Smith and the many other women like her
w
suffer repeated physical abuse. We are waitto see that those who commit violent cri es
ainst their wives (or other intimate partn rs)
arrested and prosecuted for their crimes.
e
also watching to see that women who must
ally use force to protect themselves are treatwith justice.
o
Thank you for your time and consideration
matter; I can hardly express how vital
feel it is for us to write, each contributing
h r own way to the fight against the social,
ues from which we all suffer. My individ
brand of bravery takes form in my willingness to
express my convictions regarding our plight, p
licly identifying myself as a proud Oklahoma lesbi n.
s· cerely,
Judy Palen, Enid
. Macy, the responsibility for the actions of
the prosecutor's office is yours. We are waiting
to see the laws equitably enforced for battered
w men.

Pat Reaves, OKC
Dear Ed.tor and Patti Weaver:
apolo~e , to you, Patti, for "making light" of
met~ about which you obviously feel very
trongly ~- I was passing on a very old, private
jo e about fishing, and certainly never meant to
end you .

(An Open Letter to Robert Macy, District Att r-
ney of Oklahoma County)
'
November 16, 1985
. Macy:
Once again justice has been poorly served ·
Oklahoma County. On Nov. 15, Sarah Smith w
se tenced to prison for shooting and killing h r
sive husband.
By your own admission (The Daily Oklahomg,
11-15-85), Ms. Smith had been a victim of repe ted brutal attacks from Larry Smith. Police h d
been called repeatedly to the Smith house, yet
they had been unable or unwilling to stop
e
vi lence. Finally, on JUlle 17, after Larry Smi
h d severely beater her and threatened her
e
d the life of her infant child, Sarah Smith
took action to protect herself. Where were y ,
Mr. Macy, while Larry Smith was repeatedly ab ing Sarah Smith? Surely a beating severe eough to cause a miscarriage qualifies as a f elony assault. Did you prosecute Larry Smith fo
the crimes he committed against Sarah?
Sarah Smith afforded the full protection
f
I would like for you to consider this, though-it
s ms to me that, in your quest for a world in
·ch meat, fish or fowl is not eaten, let alone
"taken" by violence, that you have failed to give
me the very basic right to fish and to eat s ·d
fi h, meat and fowl, if I so choose. I resp ct
Y' ur beliefs in this area, but I think that it is
vital that my beliefs and practices be respected,
r at least tolerated. There seems to be a de pr philosophical question here than meat eat"
or fishing. I, too, am doing everything I can to
• ke the world less violent. I spend many hours
a month, working to make things happen for Berland, this newsletter being just one example.
c I don't want you to give up your beliefs, but
please don't put me down as a person because
mine happen to differ from yours. There's room
for us both, and we need all the help we can
aet.

CITY FANS
Gayle Marie's classical piano and voice training
are ·still evident in her marvelous piano accompaniments, which closely approximate the instrumentals that back her up on the record.
Gayle Marie made her fourth appearance in Oklahoma City Friday, November 22, 1985, and lived
p to all the claims that her fans had m de
bout her talents.
Oklahoma City's own Mary Reynolds opened for
Gayle Marie, and Mary and Elyse Angelo pro. ed guitar, vocal and bongo _additions for
several of her songs.
The distance between that first City perform
in 1980 at the Nightlife to 1985 at the
U itarian Church was reflected in the growth h r
vocal and composition skills have made. She
of the church's auditorium, "This is the type
place I have hoped to perform in here in
homa City." Later we laughed over the lack of
the varoom-varoom that was her backgro d
croup at the Fairgrounds.

S e did say that her giving up all sugar has
elped her health tremendously and that may
reflected in her general demeanor, which is 1

S e had a lot to say about her recent trip to
Burope, where she attended a women's music
tival in Holland. "There was every type of m

ALL the women shared a dressing room. Th re
were no stars, everyone was treated as an equal,
"ch is what I thought women's music was

Going to Europe and recording another al
were two dreams she has had for a long time
d they have both come true in the past few
months.

Mter a two-month delay caused by pressure from

the Justice Department finally approved a
581,621 grant to the National Coalition Against
Domestic Violence. Patrick McGuigan of the Free
Congress Foundation, which had complained to Bel
Meese that NCADV was "pro-Lesbian, hard-core
feminists," called the decision to okay the f ding "a great disappointment." The award, originally set at $625,000, is earmarked for develo
m terials about domestic violence, creating
information and referral clearinghouse and pro "din technical assistance to organizations developing domestic violence programs. The reduction ·
