Just news Mini-Gay Games set for Seattle's summer Esther's Pantry Esther’s Pantry needs to be stocked. Shelves in a basement room at the Embers/ Avenue are waiting to be filled with can ned and boxed foodstuffs. The food will be distributed to people with AIDS and ARC as the need arises. Team Seattle, the group which organized Seattle’s 153 member Gay Games II team, is planning its first annual Northwest Gay/ Lesbian Sports Festival. The festival will be held over the July 4th weekend in Seat tle and will feature a wide variety of sports including soccer, softball, volleyball, swimming and diving, 5K and IOK runs and others. Team Seattle will have a com plete roster of sports after April 15. Many o f the sports will be sanctioned by their appropriate national sport association.

As more and more people become ill from the virus, the need for basic necessities by some o f those afflicted will increase also. Esther’s Pantry is a new project of the Brinker Fund, both named in memory of Chester Brinker, a.k.a. Esther Hoffman Howard.

The vice squad used S G N classified ads to con tact the men arrested. One o f the men arrested in the bust ac cused the police o f entrapment, saying, “ They proposed everything.” A Seattle Police Department spokesperson said, “ We have used ads from all kinds of publi cations . . . [as] a part of operations here.” To prove entrapment, unrefutable coer- sion must be demonstrated and one must not have contemplated actions for which entrapment is accused. In any case involv ing sex, making an accusation of entrap ment stick is extremely rare. • Legal rights brochures available National Gay Rights Advocates, a San Francisco based public interest law firm, is offering several brochures on the legal rights of lesbians and gays and on AIDS- based discrimination.
