Schultz refused to say more than
the Senator stands by the statement
above. When asked how the
Senator’s personal religious -views
may imquence his decision in these
issues, Mr. Schultz again stated
that the Senator stands by the statement
above. Mr. Schultz did confirm,
however, that Nickles is a
self-avowed, practising Roman
Catholic.
Nickles’ staffdid note that staff
persons had meetings with Lesbian
& Gay Oldahomans who were in
D.C. for the March on Washington
for Lesbian/Gay/Bi Equal
Rights. There were not any records
ofany meetings in Oklahoma. Nor
could they identify any meeting
where Nickles himself met with
Lesbian & Gay community leaders
or citizens.

pretations ofthem are pretty subjective. I
certainly have not had it pointed Out tome
that we in any way discriminate in either
our recruitment, our employment or our
promotion of people based upon their
sexual orientation....
TN: Is that something that you would
expect to come internallyfrom city sta~.
Yes, it may come from inside a
department...it may come from a city
councillor, it may come from an interest
group from the outside that brings to our
attention thatas theyobserveit....I have had
just about every issue except for that one
brought to my attention.
TN: I guess I’m kind of curious, do you
think that that would be a reflection ofa
not (having) a problem or ofpeople not
feeling protected in order to speak out?
I really couldn’t speculate on that...we
have spent the last couple of years focusing
very directly on an individual’s capability....
and tmining....(also) the police
department (has) under way diversity
tmining....for all of their officers....they
deal with every segment of the community
on a daily basis, they need to be
sensitive to cultural differences....
TN: Does the in-service training cover
Lesbian & Gay issues?
SS: ....I don’tknow the actual curriculum.
I suspect that it is one very much of how
do you interact with people regardless of
who they are....
TN: My reading ofthe city charter is that
currently the mayor has the power to
issue an executive order banning dis.
crimination on the basis ofsexual orientation?
Given that power, would you be
willing to....

include sexual orientation and....what
they’re thinking about doing is looking at
supporting a change in the state law.
TN: It’s talking (the city charter) about
organization ofthe city, "the mayor may
by executive order...assign newfunctions
or duties to any division or
department..."and clearly one of those
functions could be to respect certain
principles and regulations in terms of
hiring, promotion, etc. the things thatyou
say already that the city is at least informally
doing.
SS: I think that we say that generally in
our personnel policy.
TN: But it’s not in any documentation,
and both the personnel dept. people and
the employees I interviewed understood
that there werenoprotectionsforLesbian
& Gay employees for on the job discrimination
or in terms of hiring....
SS: I don’t think we even through our
hiring practices are allowed to ask questions
that would reveal that kind of information.
TN: But sometimes that kind of information
is going to be visible or relevant and
certainly the Lesbian & Gay employees I
interviewed as backgroundfor this story
are scared to death ofretribution in their
departments.
SS: I try to steer away from generalizations
like that...and without the fact that
they, either through their supervisor or to
me have brought any of these concerns
forward (that) is pure speculation as far as
I am concerned....If in fact there is a
review underway with a proposedchange
in the state law, we’ll look at what is being
stated..,
TN: You know that the city, and many
have, can go beyond state and federal
regulations?
SS: I tend to look in dealing with policy
initiatives, changes, tend to try tobaseany
change, any policy direction on what has
been demonstrated as a need....In terms of
whether or not someone is hired or not
hired or promoted because of their sexual
preference, other than being asked the
question (by the reporter) it has not even
come to me as an issue. I do know that
there is this task force which is looking at
it from a community standpoint but in
terms of the City of Tulsa and its employment
practices, it has not been raised
even as a problem.
TN: Unfortunately, it’s a catch-22 situation
for Lesbian & Gay citizens who
lacking any protection, then (are at) risk
raising a complaint, since that kind of
discrimination is not illegal. What I’m
saying is the lack of complaint is not
necessarily the lack ofa problem.
SS: Well I agree with that but there has to
be some way to assess the extent of the
problem also before moving forward. In
terms of using this provision under the
city charter as a guide, I don’t know I
would have to ask for a legal assessment.
TN: If it were possible, would you be
willing to issue an executive order?
SS: I would give it consideration.
TN:...Probably there are about 37,000
Lesbian & Gay citizens in the city of
Tulsa, conservatively estimated. How
would youfeel as a candidate in submitting
to candidate .screening & con~dering
taking donationsfrom the Lesbian &
Gay communities,.openly, not openly?
SS:....I probably received 30 or more
questionnaires to complete on behalf of a
variety of interest groups....to the best of
my ability I completed every one I
received.....I would be just as open to
talking to any organized group....
TN: So would accept an invitation to a
LesbianlGay town hall meeting?
SS: I try to make myself available.

I picked u.pthe August edi.tio.n of th.e
Gayly ana nave read the article titlea:
OKC/March on Washington Trip
Filled With Mistakes.
I was one of the passengem.on
that van to D.C.. I find sedous aiscrepancies
regarding the accuracy of
all that has been reported’ by
Ms.Hand. I received the last available
seat on the van. I didn~ know
how was sponsoring the trip but
didn’t care since for this 37 year old
Okie this was a once in a lifetime
chance to be a part of this histodc
event.
It was Tuesday evening when a
fdend told.me there might be an open
space on once of the vans. They
woul.d call aro.und .to se..e if anyt.hing
was ~eft. Weanes~ay afternoon i re--
ceived a phone call from Dale, from
the Tdangle office, telling me.I could
go on their van. I asked what,the fee
would be to. cover my part because I
am on disabi!ity I do have to budget
m.y money. ~ was told. .not to wo.rr~.
aDout thatnow Dutto take care or
when I returned. I was to contact
John Carter and that we would be
aware that I was coming.
Since I only had about 48 houm.
.to .prepare. for the. tr!p, and still not
De~lewng ~ was actually going, things
were hebtic to say the ]ea~’t. After
the trip had begun and we all st.arted.
to get to know each other is wnen
learned of various fund-misers that
had made it possible for the PWA’s
to make the trip. I was filled with a
tremendous gratitude, and was
minded of the many times I had given
,.m,on..ey at fund reisers for.things just
liKe thiS.
My fdend that told me about the

to get to go i would have slept under

I was not aware of howthe money
was raised for the trip mainly due to
the fact that dudng the pdor year I
had been serious]y ill from AIDS

confined to pea.

to be the one of us who might
need the most looking after. Penson
was on infusions but lie administered
his own treatment. Jefftold me himself
that he had ~ends in D.C. that
he would probably be staying with
and that his team of Dr’s ano nurses
were going to be in D.C. for the
March. I remember feeling relieved
that someone familiar with his history
and condition would be there if
he nbeded them.
I am also of the opinion that Kem
Wallace even though it Was apparently

monitor the condition of those of us

have administered first aid, and or
alerted the appropriate personnel in

To The Editor of The Parachute:
When I read the letters published
in the September issue of The Parachute
regarding Paula Hand’s "attack"
and "bashing" of Mary Arbuckle and/
or Kem Wallace over their tdp for
PLWA’s to the MOW, I wondered if
the Gayly Oklahoman published different
regional editions. It appeared
some read a different article than I.
After reading these letters I notice
that Mary is a member of the staff of
your publication. ! question, the, if
these letters are not simply a reaction
of personal ~ends who feel compelledto
defend Mary’s integrity,
something which was never really
questioned. Loyalty to a friend is an
admirable trait. However if a friend
were to tell me he or she had a mistake
and wanted to apologize for it, I
think it would be a disservice to my
friend to dismiss the apology by ~ating
or implying, "Never mind, you are
perfect and infallible. From my read-
Ing of Paula’s article, Mary agree’s
some mistakes were made. I admire
Mary for that honestly and integrity.
I also admire her for wanting to offer
such a trip and her honest efforts to
make the arrangements.
I ask those who wrote the letters to
The Parachute if they are not, by failing
to acknowledge what Mary herself
has, denying her things she
asked for. In case any reader wonders,
Yes, I am a friend of Paula
Hand’s. i also know Mary as well as
her mother. I admire all three of these
women and respect their contributions
to our community. Although I
attended the March, I had not heard
anything about this controversy until
I read the article in the Gayly¯ Thus I
consider myself objective in my appraisal.
