San Francisco gays form airwave patrol
About 30 homosexual residents in San Francisco formed a Citizens Band patrol to protect the Castro district from harassment. The Butterfly Brigade uses steel whistles and $50 CB radios, standing on corners and watching for troublemakers as they radios each other about possible incidents.

Richard Heakin Memorial Butterfly Brigade Formed in San Francisco
The group, led by Patrol member Dick Gayer, operates in Castro and Market streets to deter hostility toward gays after a Tucson activist’s murder last year. Thirty members wear white headbands and use CB radios to monitor taunting drivers, aiming to trace offenders. Local sponsor Gay Action notes about 40 beatings last year. Police say the neighborhood is largely well behaved and doubt the patrol will last long.
