What's Goin' On
By Don Brown

    On Feb.8th, Rangers Inc. held their annual Hearts & Harness
event at Adams Street and raised over $400.00 for Community
Aids Network.... On Feb.12th the not so beautiful PECS sisters
made their debut at the usual Wednesday night Raven Madd /
Tyrany Fox Show at Pecs. The show included numerous special
guests, all of whom gave their time and special talent. Thanks to
all who were involved. This event raised $400.00 for C.A.N.

    Special mention that the Pecs sisters were quite taken with
themselves, and the following morning rushed to their mailboxes
expecting to find offers for recording contracts or movies, but
instead found volumes of brochures for reconstructive surgery
and liposuction clinics.

    Their next performance may be at the Easter Hat / Basket
Auction at Adams Street the 29th of March. They were overheard
telling some of their supporters that they would return if backed by
popular demand ( 2 or more request)...... The sale of Mardi Gras
Beads at Adams Street on Feb. 15th netted another $150.00 for C.A.N.

    The State of Mississippi became the 16th state to ban same sex
marriages on a growing list of state that have already done so, these

Michigan, N. Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, S. Carolina, S. Dakota,
Tennessee, Utah. Twenty one states have so far blocked passage of
legislation banning same sex marriages. The Hawaii Supreme Court is
not expected to rule on that states denial of marriage licenses until
sometime in 1998. Don't forget the Human Rights Campaign Fund
