Subject:      Lesbigay campaign contributions

I read somewhere that the only demographic group to raise more money for the
Democratic presidential campaign than lesbigays was Jews. Does anyone have a
footnote or source for this? I'm preparing a proposal to a major research
operation and need evidence relating being lesbigay and attitudes toward lesbi-
gays to voting turnout, participation in electoral campaigns, and the direction
 of the vote.

Thanks.

"The people who made me proud were
Bob Hattoy and Elizabeth Glaser, and I thought it was time someone paid tribute
to them on the net. For all, the posturing at the convention about "speaking
truth to power," these two really did it.

I was very proud of Bob Hattoy. I wish I could write him and tell him so. To be
 able to talk openly and forcefully about HIV after only a month of being
 diagnosed
is no small accomplishment.  He spoke directly to George Bush, and he spoke
words of truth and pain.  I was elated by what he said."

Subject: MEN'S GYNMASTICS

Hello, Netters!
Several weeks ago, I was watching the men's preliminary gymnastics on one
of the major networks (I believe it was on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon)
and one of the announcers quoted that Lance Ringnald and Trent Dimas (sp?)
were the best of friends.  During the 1988 Seoul Olympics, they avoided
each other and didn't quite get along. However, a year before the
preliminary try-outs, Lance injured himself and Trent made an effort to
find (they both come from Albuqurque) and train with him.  I just
wonder if that friendship is more than just a friendship.  Anybody out
there have any answers?  Now, they're both on the Gymnastics team in
Barcelona.  Hooray!!!!!

The Los Angeles Times (7/27/92) article on 'MO' MONEY :

"... Or try to chuckle at the Wayans brothers during a joint gay
 impersonation at a jewelry store, coughing all over the salespeople
 to exploit their fear of AIDS."

Does anybody know to whom one can write to protest?  Does anybody know
if GLAAD or QN have officially protested?

Thanks,
