By 1 a.m. the fight had come to a confused end,
and most of the gay group had left tha bar by the
time police arrived, Botts said. Ona man was arrested
for intoxication, police said.
About 40 gays and straight friends returned to the
bar the next night, "determined not to be frightened
off," according to Botts.
f "But a straight customer, a man we knew was
reliable, warned us it was suicide to be back," she
said.
"He told us the bikers were going to be laying for
us, in force, the next Friday night (Feb. 8)", she said.
"He said he had information that they were planning
to kill some of us if they could."
"A lot of us were willing to die, if that was what it
took," she added, "but, in the end, we decided not to
go back to the Lazy B."
Tha main named Rick later made positive
Identification, from photographs in police files, of
two of the men he claimed beat him. Charges are
being pressed against the men. Rick also is suing for
damages.
Police said tNy are unable to release any details
until the case comes to court, but Capt. Lowell
Sellmeyer said countercharges are being pressed.
Meanwhile, the Lesbian Sisters and LING AG are
continuing their effort to find a bar or nightclub. "We
don't just want a strictly gay bar. We want a bar
Where anyone can come to drink with and dance with
whomever he pleases, of whatever sexual preference,"
Botts said..
A male member of the Lesbian Sisters (both they
and LING AG have mixed membership) currently is
investigating the possibilities of building or
remodeling a house to be used as a gay co-op.
In addition, members of both groups say that,
while finding a bar is still an immediate issue, the
165 miles to the gallon! How's that
for fuol savings. Boat gas
rationing with a VESPA OAO
50 cc ongino makes tho VESPA full
of pep and great transportation.

need for unity that was dramatized in the Lazy B
incident, now is the foremost concern of Lincoln s
gay community. , . -
Botts said an important result of the entire
experience was the organization of a evil rights
movement in tne gay i -...,. - ,-
women have been appointed to lay the groundwork
for the movent.
"in most major cities, the gay movement starts out
with men and women together," she said, "then a
schism develops, and they never work together again.
"Here the men's and women's groups organized
separately," she said, "and we've evolved tha civil
rights movement.
"These 12 people, working together and
independent of LINGAG and the Sisters, will succeed
where other groups have failed." she said.
Christensen agreed. "We will have our bar in
Lincoln," he said. "But more than that, we will have
new laws. We will have our rights."
