TO SPEAK AT HOUSTON
PRIDE AWARDS.
Sheraton-Astrodome Serves as Site
Of This Year's Festivities;
Voting to Take Place at Banquet.
HOUSTON - The 1991 Pride Awards
Committee has managed to snare a real
celebrity as featured speaker at this year's
Pride Awards Banquet. John Early, in
charge of publicity for the banquet, in-
formed TwT NEWS that Sheila James Kuehl
will be keynoting the June 15 affair.
Kuehl is perhaps best known for her por-
trayal of Zelda Gilroy in the early-60s televi-
sion sitcom The Many Lives of Dobie
Gillis. Today she is a feminist lawyer liv-
ing in Santa Monica with her life partner
of eight years, Torie Osborn.
In 1989 Kuehl founded the nonprofit
Southern California Women's Law Center,
which works to change laws affecting the
rights of women. She trains attorneys to
bring discrimination suits, drafts legislation
and advises people on how to challenge
discriminatory statutes. Osborn is Exec-
utive Director of the Gay and Lesbian Com-
munity Services Center of Los Angeles.
The committee, co-chaired by Annise
Parker and Bernard Barbour, chose the
Sheraton-Astrodome Hotel as the site of
this year's affair. The banquet serves as
the kickoff event for Houston Gay Pride
Week. There will be seating for approx-
imately 400, and ticket prices remain the
same as last year. The committee decid-
ed there would be no dance this year
because lack of interest. A silent auction
precedes the banquet.
Early explained that the nominating and
voting procedures have been changed
slightly for this year's Pride Awards. The
Pride Awards Committee has sent out let-
ters to various community leaders asking
them to serve on a blue-ribbon nominating
committee which will choose a list of nom-
inees for each of the voting categories.
The categories and the number of
awards remain the same as last year, but
voting for nominees will take place the
evening of the banquet.
