NAZI SPEAKS ON HOMOSEXUALS.
RALEIGH—Nazi leader Harold Covington
recently aired his views on homosexuals over
his pre-recorded “White Power” telephone
message. If Covington were in a position of
power, he said, he would “punish homosex
uality with death.”
This statement comes as part of
Covington’s latest grand scheme: the creation
of a Carolina Free State, formed by the
sucession of North and South Carolina.
According to one handout, this sovereign
state will be formed to “serve as a homeland
and a haven for all white men and women of all
Aryan people.” Covington accuses the U.S.
govemement of “encouraging, fostering, and
enforcing unwanted and detrimental
association and mixtiture” of white citizens
with non-white, conspiring to destroy the
family “through the propagation of sexual
degeneracy, the vile and pernicious so-called
“Equal Rights Amendment,” the toleration of
pornography and perversion. . .”
Covington’s plans for a Carolina Free State
were first announced shortly after the
acquittal, in Greensboro, ofNaziandKuKIux
Klein members. These men were charged in
the shooting deaths of Communist Workers
Party members during a “Death to the Klan
Rally” in 1979.
Covington himself ran for the office of state
Attorney General last May, and garnered a
surprising 43 percent of the vote in the
Republican primary. He was edged out by
former U.S. Attorney, Keith Synder of
Asheville, who was later defeated in the
general election by Democrat Rufus
Edminsten.
It should also be noted, in passing, that
Covington cmae to prominence in the
American National Socialist Party following
the arrest and conviction in Chicago of former
leader Frank Collin con charges of engaging in
sexual acts with two underage boys.
The following is Covington’s complete
statement on the question of homsexuals:
First off, the term “gay” is a misnomer as it
implies something lighthearted and happy
about this perversion. There is nothing
lighthearted or happy about faggots, as
anyone who’s seen the movie “Cruising”can
attest.
Homosexuals are mentally and morally
abnormal people who have made a
conscious decision to pursue a lifestyle which
places them outside the bounds of decency
and all Western values. It’s no co incidence
that the law refers to homosexual acts as
“Crimes Against Nature,” because
homosexuality is indeed unnatural in that it
denies ,.ie basic biological imperitive of
reproduction. In essence, the homosexual is
a person who has set himself above God or
nature; who has consciously and deliberately
said to himself and to the world: “Evil be thou
my good. ”
There’s no joke about how the only good
thing about faggots is that they can’t
reproduce. . . unfortunately, that’s not
true. They do reproduce, not sexually, but by
corrupting others, especially the young.
I’m sure you’ve all noticed how so much of
the so-called “gay rights” movement is aimed
at allowing queers to be teachers, jxirents,
legal guardians, social workers. . . anything
that allows them access to children.
The child molester is in fact the purest form
of homosexual because he’s the one who
produces more queers through corruption of
the young.
NCHRF Surveys
NC Sheriffs
Very few sheriffs and police chiefs in North
Carolina would oppose repeal of the state’s
sodomy law, according to the preliminary
results of a survey being conducted by the
North Carolina Human Rights Fund.
The Human Rights Fund (NCHRF), a non
profit, tax-exempt corporation formed in
July, 1979, to promote and defend the legal
rights of gays in this state, sent question
naires last month to all 100 sheriffs and to the
police chiefs in all towns of 15,000 or more.
About 15% have responded so far.
As the NCHRF predicted, almost none of
the state’s law enforcement agencies keep
data on the number of sodomy arrests in their
jurisdictions. Charlotte’s police department is
one of the few that keeps such data; they
reported 11 sodomy arrests in that city during
1979.
Of the responses to date, only 15% would
oppose repealing the sodomy law as it relates
to private sexual activity between consenting
adults. One-fourth said they favored repeal,
and the remainder said repeal would make no
difference to their law enforcement efforts.
At the present time, sodomy (“crime
against nature”) is a felony, punishable by ten
years imprisonment, whether or not the
parties consent and whether or not the acts
take place in private.

This is Harold Covington. This week’s
message is not a pleasant one but I’ve been
asked by a listener to do a message on the
National Socalist view of homosexuality.
The caller has also asked how we would
deal with homosexuality under the new
order. The answer to that is very simple.
After independence, the law of the Carolina
Free State will punish homosexuality with
death. The reason for this is not so much to
punish individual queers — and I will admit
that like all diseases we will probably never
succeed in wiping out homosexuality
altogether — but by such heavy penaltys we
will drive this filthy perversion so far back into
the closet that it will never again threaten the
basic fabric of our society as it does now.
We will also drastically cut down on their
ability to reproduce through corruption of the
young, since if a faggot knows he’s risking a
rope around his neck, he’s going to be very
wary about approaching children on a
playground or anywhere else.
Well, you asked a question and now I’ve
answered it. You people out there have the
right to know just how we’re gonna run things
after independence, so if there are any more
issues you want me to address let me hear
from you.

white Carolina Free State, contact us as Box

Ednorial:
The Front Page
Is Back!
You have in your hands Volume 1, Number 2 of a publication that came very close to dying. A small
group of people have gotten together and (because we think The Front Page has been a really good
paper) we’ve decided to do what we can to bring it back to life. Only time will determine whether we’ll be
successful or not.
For the time being, The Front Page will be published monthly rather than twice monthly as it had
been. When we’ve got a few issues under our belts—and if the advertising support is there—we may go
back to twice monthly publishing. A note to our subscribers: you will receive the full number of issues
for which you’ve paid. Well be extending all subscriptions so that no one will get short-changed (and we
apologize for the gap in publication).
One reason for our decision to go monthly (at first) is that we want to be able to commit to our
advertisers the kind of dependable, regular publication that they have a right to expect. The Front Page
will be published each month in time to be on the street by the last Tuesday of the month preceding the
issue date. (For example, since this is the February issue, it’ll be available to be picked up on or before
January 27.)
In the past, many different things have caused The Front Page to miss publishing deadlines and to be
somewhat irregular. That will not happen again (barring, if course, acts of God or other things beyond
our control). If an article isn’t finished in time, it’ll have to wait for the next issue. If an ad isn’t in by
deadline, it won’t run. In our conversations with Michael Baker, we all decided that the most important
thing to be done if The Front Page was to be saved is to find a way to assure regular, dependable
publication. We feel that we’ve found the way (and the people) to do that.
Now a word about Michael Baker himself. For the past year, working largely alone, he’s managed to
get out 23 issues of a paper that we feel has been a great credit to North Carolina’s gay community.
There are very few gay publications in the country that are better looking or better in content than The
Front Page has been for the last year. We really hope that well be able to keep the quality high (and
perhaps even improve it some) at the same time that we insure the dependability of publication. Last
week, we got a big boost in that direction when Michael agreed to stay on with The FrontPage as editor.
We’re thrilled that he’s willing to do this, and now we’re even more confident that the paper can survive,
grow and improve.
We have lots of ideas for new regular features that we’ll tell you more about in the March issue (look
for it Feb. 24). For now, we’re just glad to be able to say “Hi! The FrontPage is alive and well!” For those
of you who are interested in a little further background. . . here’s an editorial, written by Michael,
which was to appear in the December issue of the paper (that issue never made it to press). Please keep
in mind as you read it that it was written two months ago. . . and things have changed.
Can This Paper Survive?
(Part 2, continued from
October 24th issue)
by Michael Baker
This essay began life as a discussion of the
on-going problems of putting out The Front
Page, and what might be done about them.
The bulk of the article (part one of which ran
in the last issue) was written two months ago.
Now, in addition to a discussion of
problems and solutions, this essay has come
to be about my retirement from active
involvement with The Front Page, and what
might be done to keep the paper going.
There are so many things to talk about, I’m
afraid this article is very long. But, if you’re
interested in The Front Page, I hope you’ll
bear with me.
2. So what’s The Front Page’s financial
situation? Is it making money/, breaking even,
running in the red, or what?
