LEADERLESS, SHIRTLESS, CLUELESS

Peter welcomed us.

This group is unique. It’s membership-based. You are responsible as to how we move from here… . Even the European groups—they may hold work meetings, but the largest group that we know of is Martangue in the Netherlands and I think basically they just send out a magazine like we do and have a steering committee, but I don’t think they hold general membership meetings. But this general membership meeting really guides what NAMBLA will do for the rest of the year.

Chris spoke next, asking for a wider participation in NAMBLA’s work by the attendees. Chris referred to this small gathering of seventeen men as the organization’s “core group.”

Peter asked each of us to introduce ourselves, if we were comfortable doing so, and to answer the questions “What do we want?” and “What are our aspirations?” The responses were interesting: No one admitted coming for any of the organization’s stated purposes as outlined in the NAMBLA policy statement. The primary theme of their comments, as the FBI suspected all along, was “networking.”

Sam Lindblad began. The Albuquerque resident readily admitted to being “a year and a few months out of prison, where I put in seven years.” He came seeking “camaraderie and a common soul.”

I see this as kind of being dark times and if we don’t support each other, I don’t know who is going to.

Someone followed with an “amen.”

David Mayer came for the networking; Mike from Cleveland wanted “to develop a better networking community of other guys that have the same feelings as myself.”

John from San Francisco identified himself as a “gaytheist” who had “been in jail twice and any commitment to anyone might facilitate my way back into jail.” Decrying his plight as a boy lover, John admitted to being “out as a gay” and “out as an atheist” but “those things are different. You go around saying you like to run your hands through a boy’s hair, or you like to kiss him or do other things like that, it doesn’t get the same reaction.”

Substitute teacher Dick Stutsman, fifty-nine, from a small town in South Carolina, said he loved boys: “I admire them; they’re beautiful creatures.” He had lived in South Carolina for over a year, having come from Atlanta, where he was a mentor in a middle school. Dick described himself in reassuring terms: “I think I’m not a sociopath… . In my twenties and
