(94) Meg for Mayor: the Political Base Wears a Bath Towel

Up through the 90s at least, and even some today -- the gay community had a mania for never giving full names in print Newsletter articles always read "Kurt E. made a motion that," and "the party will be at Chris F.'s house" (no address given in print). So a petition that could be traced to show a gay man was at a place of sex business doesn't stand much of a chance.

How many signatures do you think Jeff got in six hours? What a come-on line!

The names of the bars were all parodies of Toledo hangouts. Trés Jolies= Scaramouche, Cowboy Closet=Rustler/Open Closet, The Pits=The Scenic, The Flaming Pumps=Caesar's.

My parody name for the Baths was The Tub Club. Jeff canvassed for signatures wearing nothing but a bath towel. Yes, he was at one of THOSE places.
