       GUIDELINES FOR NON-VIOLENT, TRANSGENDER LEAD, CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE
         AT NON-INCLUSIVE STONEWALL 25 EVENT IN JUNE IN NEW YORK CITY

        "Stonewall 25", the international march on the United Nations to
affirm the human rights of ONLY lesbian and gay people, will be on the 26th
of June 1994 in New York City.  Despite numerous pleas, the event organizers
refuse to include the words "transgender, drag and bisexual" in the title of
the event.  Therefore, ICTLEP issues these educational guidelines for
non-violent, civil disobedience.

1.  Participants in the "Educational Protest of Non-Inclusion" will be three
types: (a) those who will carry signs, wear special t-shirts, place themselves
(in repeating teams) into the march route and allow themselves to be arrested;
(b) those who will carry signs, wear t-shirts, shout "AND, AND, AND" and march
in the event.

2.  All signs and t-shirts will be white with black lettering.
Signs are to be of posterboard only, either hand carried or on cardboard
tubes (not wooden sticks).  The signs and t-shirts will "emphasize the need
to inclusify" the lesbian, gay, transgender, drag and bisexual movement: they
will be simple and read as follows:
                                   
                                   A   N   D
                                  transgender
                                  and drag and
                                  bisexual and
                                 gay and lesbian

3.  Those wishing to participate shall meet at 3:30 PM, Saturday the 25th June
in the law offiices of Margo Diesenhouse, 844 Sixth Ave. #404, New York,
NY 10001, (212) 473-4750, FAX: (212) 685-8362 for organization and my
instruction in non-violent civil disobedience: NO ONE will be in the arrest
teams who does not attend.  Teams will be organized for repeated stopping
of the march, NOT for resisting arrest.  Every effort will be made to
notify the police.  I will be in the first team to be arrested.  The observers
will follow the arrest teams through the arrest-jail-court-release sequences.

Phyllis Randolph Frye, Executive Director.
