AIDS and the Needle Debate
he debate over whether to slow the spread of AIDS byproviding clean needles to drug users raises disturbing
questions about our society's commitment to its least fortunate members.
Originally the governments of many states made needle distribution and possession illegal in an attempt to make IV-<lruguse
more difficult by. making needles scarce, What it did instead was toensure that addicts would be forced to share needles and thereby
spread diseases among themselves, Now AIDS is raging wildly .
throughout poor and disadvantaged communities precisely becauseof governmental policy on needles, And it is ravaging not only IVdrug users but their sex partners and their children as well.
The response of enlightened governments around the world
has been to legalize needles and to create programs which distribute
free needles to IV-<lrugusers. Studies have repeatedly and reliably
shown that such policies have led not to an increase in drug abusebut, in fact, to dramatic decreases in the spread of my.
Yet New York's Mayor David Dinkins and Health Commissioner
Woodrow Myers flady oppose needle exchange or legalization, Dr.
Myers has gone so far as to state that no evidence could induce him
to change his mind because he is "ideologically'opposed" to theconcept. Such ideological opposition is supposedly based on theidea that any loosening of needle restrictions implies the social sanctioning of drug use and may constitute the, beginning of a slippery
slope leading to drug legalization. This is a legitimate concern, especially within' cornmunities that have been decimated by the scoutgeof drugs. What these leaders urge instead is a redoubling of efforts
to get people off drugs by increasing funding for drug-rehabilitation
programs.
If that is their agenda, they have a strange way of pursuing it.
Funding for drug rehabilitation in New York has been repeatedly
cut-not raised and there is no chance in the current fIScalclimatethat drug rehabilitation will be available to more than a tiny, privileged fraction of all who want it. Even if it were, studies show thatmany people in rehab continue to use needles, and that in the bestof circumstances, rehabilitation is unreliable,.
But in addition, what about those drug users, a clear majority,'who do not want rehabilitation? What about their wives, lovers andchildren? Policies iII New York 'and elsewhere cleaily condemn suchpeople to death for the sake of ideology and political expediency,
Gays are well aware that for years nothing was done about gaypositive safer-sex education because the government is ideologically
opposed to, and doesn't want to appear to sanction, homosexuality,
But we also know that such opposition was a convenient cover for
the fact that many in government would be glad if we all just diedoff, It's haid to believe that opposition to needle exchange andclean-works edUCation has wholly dissimilar motives, coming as it
frequently does from people not personally affected by mv, Gaysthus have a powerful reason to unite with those who fight forcefully.for the exchange and legalization of clean needles, ..

An Idea to Bat AroundConsidering how manygays have been bashedand made bloody withbats, my first thought wasthat "no lumber" might not
be so bad.
Of course that's notwhat I believe. And It's
great that the forest service

takes credit), But surely an

It's Better to Give Than
to Deceive
It Is embarrassingthese days to admitthat one likesthe Gossip Watch by M. Signorile. Before somebody
outs me, I proclaim: I I
read It and I like It. But
I don't necessarily
agree with all of theopinions expressed by
Mr.Signorile.
While I was reading
the letter by KevinSes-,
sumsto Mr. Signorlie In
this column (no. 48,
May 30), myantlclpation was growing fromparagraph to paragraph.
What a great letterl How, the hell will he respond? To
my surprise, Michelangelo
got his angry point acrossonce again. I could almost
hear the tone of his voicewith which he defends his
beliefs. I often like thatvoice-when
It attacks or
supports something I feelvery strongly about. This
time I did not like It. .
"ThisIs a war. I am sick ofbeing stepped on and put

down: writes Mr. Signorlie.
And I am sick of anybody
wearing an I-must-puke-yellow tie-while sitting on theboard of directors In an
organization that Is supposed to help us-to refusemoney because of "pride.'

ThisIsa war-we flght for our
IIvesl And If somebody
makesa decisionnot to take"blood" money, while contemplating about pride form
his/her nice condo-while
many of us are strugglingto
live one more year-the war
Is far from over.
There are also manyorganizations that are In
constant financial struggle.
They would not consider$100,000 a charity. Thatmoney would enable andempower them to do what-ever they are doing a little
longer.Why should we haveto accept money only from"approved' people. These
people are usually giving us
also other, nonflnanclal support that we need as well.
We should take money frompeople that give us
no support at all.
Many of us have notime to walt. Isthere
any point In being
proud and dead?
At this point themoney Is something
to be taken Insteadof given. If we canpunish people byouting them-which
will not help anyone-why can't wepunish by taking
money-which
could help many.
Our government Is
one of the most oppressive
Institutions for lesbian andgay people, and we haveno problem asking them formoney. In GMHC'sview, weshould perhaps walt until
we have a more sympathetic government.
If nothing else, we couldat least use $100,000 fromDavid Geffen to place fullpage ads In music magazinesto flght the homophobia of groups like Guns 'n'Roses. Using Geffen's
money against his own~,::,;:,>~"~,~::£~:.:!,,,;ih::£,,,:,,,,,,,:,::~~:;:~:,..,::~:,.\:~,~",:""L~"",,,,::,:;,s.~::,:,_,:~:,':".':«,S:."l:~:L:~:",&t;.";:~:,.::,,,,::;}«k~§.""":,,,:,:,,,<,,""!1"':·''''~'f>$~l,;,,A,:..\i.,,,~~t\,company while fighting

SuN Paolo

Signor/Ieresponds: We should
never;ever take money fromanyone In return for blatant
homophobia,. Such a dangerous deal pu'ts a dollar
amount on words made In
publlc-a
million dollars
donatedfor every timesomeone's client uses theword "fag"-andenables
people to buy the right todefame. And ultimately such
defamation will be our downfall no matter how many millions they give us.

Low Blow
Regarding outing-I am
totally opposed to outing
unlessIt's used against closet gay public figures who
are antlgay.
I was outed several
years ago by a psychology
student who, I later learned, was actively gay himself. I found It extremely
traumatic to be taunted,
embarrassed, humiliatedand exposed for being
gay. I asked him and his
roommate to please stop
many times. He'd laugh at
me and taunt me by sayIng, "Why does It botheryou, why does It bother
you?' and then he'd hammer away at me all theworse. It was a very hurtfulexperience for me to bequeer-bashed like that,
And when I learned heand his roommate wereactive gays themselves, I
was stunnedl I am stili very
bitter over being outed. It
was a very cruel thing tohappen to me.

George

responds: I agree with Larry
Mass that Identifying oneself as a gay writer doesn't
diminish claims to universality. I do think, however,that Larry's gone overboard In calling Purdy'S
reluctanceto embracethat designation, and myagreementwith Purdy,
homophobic. The fact Is,
you could Just as easl/ycol/ Purdy a Christian exlstentlal/st writer, a Midwestern writer, an American

since many of ,Purdy's

But while this Is certainly

Pederasty Is, and nothing

Dear Mr.Rollins:
Democratic Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts Is living proof thata high IQ and a sharp wit
don't necessarily guarantee
consistently good judgment.
The latter Is what was lackIng In his Involvement with
Mr, Steve Goble, a maleprostitute, Having said that, I

and respected businessman.
I'd suggest you don't understand or appreciate the precarious position
you'reabout to put yourself andyour political party Into. So,
let me give you a preview,
Apparently, you've forgotten about your own party

about the arrest of Richard

I'll show you how It's done.

WASHINGTON-A spokesman
for the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service has denounced a, report in The New York Times which
said the agency is preparing
todeport anyone coming to the Sixth
International Conference on AIDS
who says he or she is gay.
"We're not doing a thing different
than what we've been doing for eight
years," said INS press officer Duke
Austin. "This was explained to [Times
reporter Philip J.l Hilts but he persisted in Insisting this is a news story."
Austin said that no gay or lesbian people en route to the conference will be turned back. Moreover,he alluded to an internal memo thatwas in fact designed to assure thathomosexuals can enter the country
without delay. He claimed that Hilts"misunderstood" the memo.
The AIDS conference is set for. June 20-24 in San Francisco.
According to the TImes, theimmigration agency's alleged plancame to light in a memo dated May
22 from Dr. John West, acting
regional health administrator for the
U.S, Department
of Health andHuman Services in the WesternStates, to one of his superiors, Dr.
James, Allen, head of the HHS
National AIDS Program Office.
The-memo reportedly detailed anearlier request from the INS to the
Public Health Service that the latter, agency have doctors on hand In ten
Western states to certify as "sexual'deviants" any homosexuals who "self. profess" as suC;hto,immigration agents.
But according to Austin, thedoctors are necessary to guarantee
the smooth entry of self-professing

as a judicial attempt to minimize

The court declared, "Because the
PHS refuses to issue medical certificates on the basis of homosexuality
per se, and because we today holdthat the INS may not exclude homosexual aliens without such certificates, it is completely speculativethat any aliens will be excluded in
the future on the basis of theirhomosexuality per se,"Gay activists, meanwhile, were
flabbergasted by the Times report,
calling it inconsistent with the Bushadministration's repeated fine-tuningof immigration law to make it easierfor people with HIV infection toattend the San Francisco conference,
In general, HIV -positive foreigners are banned from the U,S,
unless they are coming for less than
30 days to conduct formal business,receive medical treatment or , visit
immediate family, A formal waiverof the HIV exclusion is required inorder to obtain the 30-day visa,
Recently, however, the government created a special visa for HIVpositive people who are attending
certain health-related
conferences,
Such visitors can remain in the U,S,
for ten days without being required
to disclose their HIV status.
Both methods of circumventing
the HIV ban have been criticized by
AIDS activists, who assert that requesting a waiver or requesting a ten-day
health-conference visa both threaten
individuals' confidentiality in theirhome countries, During last year's
AIDS conference in Montreal, several
Europeans traveling in the U.S, weredetained or even jailed because INS
officials suspected that they had AIDS,
Regardless of its accuracy, theTimes report on the immigration
agency's alleged plan is expected toexacerbate- what already promises tobe an extremely volatile atmosphereat the San Francisco conference,
ACT UP member Larry Kramer
recently called for "a riot" at thegathering, and more than a few lesbian and gay and AIDS activists
seem prepared to heed his call. ...

Bias crimes up 122 percent;Anti-violence march planned,

by John Voelcker
NEW YORK-Bias crimes in New
York City against gay men and lesbiansrose 122 percent during the first fivemonths of 1m, compared to the same
'period last year, according to the New
York City Gay and Lesbian AntiViolence Project CAVP), And because
those months are the "slow season" forantigay bias crimes, said the AVP
executive director Matt Foreman, thevictims' advocacy organization is indanger of being "overwhelmed" if asimilar rise is recorded for the rest of
the year,
Meanwhile, a march to protest therising tide of bias crime against
lesbians and gay men is planned forthe evening of Saturday, June 16,
Organized by the Queer Nation, an

16

OUTTWEEK

June 20. 1990

offshoot of ACf UP devoted to gay
and lesbian liberation, the march is tostart at the Christopher Street piers in
the West Village at 10 pm, make its
way to the East Village and then returnto the piers by 2 am, The route isdesigned to pass the sites of many bias
attacks, and gay-bashing survivors will
speak at these sites.
Antigay crime is now the fastestgrowing category of hate crime in New
York, said the AVP, making up 17
percent of the caseload of the New
York City Police Department's Bias
Investigating Unit, But despite the
sharp rise in such crime, Foreman said,
antigay bias crime is largely ignored bypoliticians and the press, For instance,
a lengthy article on bias crimes in Tbe
New York Times on May 29 mentioned"gays" only once, without printing asingle detail.
"Every week for the last six weeks
we've had at least one serious gangassault," Foreman said. But while bias
crimes against other communities get
the immediate attention and police
presence they deserve, the lesbian andgay community gets "none,"
Foreman also pointed out that the
6th Precinct, which covers Greenwich
Village, registered 20 bias crimes so far
in 199O--more than any other precinct
in the city, The precinct now has 28
percent fewer officers than wereassigned two years ago, however,"That sends a pretty obvious message,"
Foreman said, "We don't matter,"This lack of response led theQueer Nation to plan its march, "Bymarching on streets like St, Marks
Place and Bleecker Street, we want tobring bashing out of the closet andpoint out that it occurs throughout theVillage," said Alan Klein, an organizer

of the march. "No lesbian or gay man
is safeuntil we can walk wherever we•want without the fear of being bashedby people who come into ourcommunity specifically to attack us,"The shops, restaurants and clubs
along Bleecker Street and St. Marks
Place, which run throughgay
neighborhoods, are also frequented
by many straight people and tourists
and have been the site of conflict in
the past.
The AVP's total caseload is up 44
percent over the same period in 1989,
and Foreman said that he is "incredibly
worried" that the project Simply cannot

handle a similar increase over the"really bad months" during thesummer, when gay-bashing traditionallyoccurs at its highest rate, "We're in real
danger of just being swamped," he told
OutWeek.
Recent gay-bashingincidents
included an attack on two gay Latino
men at Rockaway Beach around 2 pm

NEW YORK-Expertly negotiating

June has traditionally been themonth for mayoral declarations onbehalf of the gay and lesbiancommunity, And Heritage of Pride, theorganization

But this year, Heritage of Pride, inwhat it calls an effort to remain
nonpartisan, declined to hold such aceremony, Last year, Mayor Edward

council districts whose new borders
will have a direct bearing on the gay

remains largely disinterested in theredistricting process, Queried about
the response of the lesbian and gay
community to the redistricting effort,
Candida Scott Piel, executive directorof FAIRPAC,New York's gay politicalaction committee, replied, "Is there
one?"

Piel cited several reasons that may
explain the relative apathy of the gay
and lesbian community, Piel herself
referred to the process of redistricting
as "fairly technical" and "boring,"
adding that although the chances of
the Districting Commission drawing"gay winnable"
districts
were"extremely

BOSTON-When a prominent gay
activist
allegedthat
oneof
Massachusett's gubernatorial candidates
is a lesbian, the ensuing furor in thegay and lesbian community ultimately
drove the .activist to apologize for his
action.
The incident came only days after
three activists mounted the steps of theUnited States Capitol to nameprominent public officials who theyclaimed are gay, While that event was
attended by most of the nation's
influential
newsmedia,
no major
papers or television networks reported
the story,
The more recent disclosure came,during a local talk-show debate on
outing-thepractice of publicly
identifying closeted prominent orcelebrated figures as gay, In response
to a pro-outing statement from theaudience, Warren Blumenfeld, an
author and a longtime gay and AIDS
activist, said, "[There is) someone
running for governor right here in
Massachusetts Evelyn Murphy-who
the entire gay community knows isgay, who will also not come out."
While Blumenfeld acknowledgedthat he did not have hard evidence toback up his contention, he did say that
there have been for years in the gay
and lesbian community
crediblerumors regarding Murphy's sexual
orientation, Another activist contacted
called Murphy'S sexual orientation, "common knowledge. "None of the other panelists, all ofwhom are openly gay, responded to

according to AIDS activists,
ACT UP's City Actions Committee
has signed on to a proposal originally
put forth by the Partnership for theHomeless that would establish an AIDS
Policy and Planning Commission, The
proposed commission would include
heads of agencies dealing with New
York's HN epidemic, representatives

from communities affected by the
epidemic, and people with HIV
infection, The commission would bechaired by a deputy mayor, with theauthority to require coordination
between agencies, The proposal would
also require any city commissioner or
agency head to obtain the approval of
two-thirds of the commission before

constituting AIDS-related program orpolicy inconsistent with a commissionestablished plan.
Peter Smith, president of thePartnership for the Homeless, theoperator of the largest private~'shelterand permanent housing network forthe homeless in the nation, stated that

"has not been a working group for along. tim'e, and the commissioners
hardly talk to one another."Smith.said that the absence. of acentral coordinating body has led thecity to faU to spend funds allocatedfor subsidized housing with support
services for people with AIDS.
Deb[a Fraser-Howze, executive
director of the Black Leadership
Commission on AIDS, has also called
for a centralized
body in city
government to respond not only to
AIDS,but to the numerous health-care
problems that face New York.
Fraser-Howze envisions a council
on which the heads of all city agencies
would serve. According to, FraserHowze. this would allow for anenvironment in which agency heads
can share resources and be informed
about activities at other agencies as
they relate to AIDS.
She also wants a new deputy
mayor for health and social services.
Said Fraser-Howze, "The problems
the city is facing in health care, areso Significant that they call fordramatic solutions." She listed AIDS,
child health and epidemics facing
the city's poorest population as
those 'most urgently demanding
attention.
Michael Baker, the former
chairman of the Interagency Task
Force on AIDS and currently the
deputy assistant commissioner for
AIDS Planningin the city's
Department of Health, conceded thatthe task force has largely ceased tofunctionbU,t denied
other
allegations.
"There's no lack ofauthority. The mayor's office has theauthority to order agencies to do as
it sees fit within the law." he said.
According to Baker, the problem
New York City faces is the lack of an
overarchlng
authoritythat caninstruct both private and municipal
entities, simultaneously. "There's nocentral authority that can organize
resources of private and publicorganizations within the city or evenbetween the city and state," headded.
Currently, said Baker, AIDS
policy is being coordinated on anissue-by- issue basis through the. Mayor's Office for Health Policy.

all adults live alone. Six percent are single parents living with their minor children. Seven percent of all adults live withother unre1ated adults."
It makes little sense to structure s0cial and economic arrangements solely
around a legally sanctioned marital-family unit that makes up less than half of
the adult population.
If population
statistics are to be believed, extending
recognition to domestic partnerships
would take care of perhaps another fiveto ten percent of the adult population.
But that would still leave out more than
one-third of the population,
Domestic partnership reinforces theemphasis on thinking of adults as coupled units, While this may take care ofsome problems faced by nortmarried
couples (including lesbian and gay couples who are denied the right to marry),
it provides no help for the iaI&e numberof single people in both the gay and thenongay communities, or for people wholive together as roommates for reasons ofconvenience but could not seriously contend that they have the kind of "closeand intimate" relationship required fordomestic partnership under the typicalquasi-marital legislative proposal. It also
leaves living arrangements, involving
three or more adults out in the cold,
Domestic partnership may not be
revolutionary enough. It takes only oneof the manyconternporary lifestyles, theone which most closely resembles marriage, and gives it a special legal niche,
without addressing the issues faced bypeople who can fit into neither the marriage niche nor the domestic-partnershipniche. This may be one reason why gay
activists in San Francisco had so muchtrouble stining' up community support topreserve their domestic-partnership law
in last fall's referendum: It was hard to
get the great mass of single voters (including gay voters) worked up about abill which, at least on its face, seemed tobe beneficial only to the minority of thecommunity who were dty employees innonmarried coupled relationships,
It is instructive to observe the different approach that has been adopted
by family-diversity advocates in Los Angeles, They persuaded a member of thecity council to appoint a Family Diversity Task Force in 1986 to study the varieties of living styles in Los Angeles,with an eye toward recommending
ways that government could modify
polides, The task force held hearings,

performed studies and issued a finaJ report which provides a blueprint for the
myriad policy adjustments needed to reinforce functional nonmarital living situations, The report does not try to sweep
all the nonmarried into a domestic-partnership niche. It celebrates diversity
and identifies ways to support people
in their chosen lifestyles, The more recent marital-status report follows thesame philosophy,.
While the L.A, task-force report
recommends that the C!ty recognize
domestic partnerships as family units

for some specific functions, it ~lso explores the problems of foster families,
group living arrangements characteristic of many different immigrant cultures and the economic and institutional discrimination which single people confront. Thus it broadens the ap-,
peal of the whole program by being
relevant to the widest possible constituency, We might well pause in thebreathless rush to domestic partnership to study the Los Angeles model.
Perhaps we are chasing a quick fix

ast week at a meeting with theFood and Drug Administration, apediatrician told me that his colleague had read about ACf UP's
demonstration at the National Institutesof Health (NIH) on May 21. ACf UP, headvised, "should be careful" about what
it does; his colleague had been upset
and said, "Maybe this is the laststraw-maybe I should leave the field,"
I did not mention to the pediatrician
that with such a lackluster track record in
AIDS research, many scientists said to be"considering leaving the field" might
have a hard time securing support forother work. How unfair, After all, there
are many brilliant, hard-working researchers
but very few of them gettheir projects funded by the AIDS Clin.ical Trials Group (ACfG).
This alarming fact was broughthome to me most dramatically one nightin late March. ACf UP had sent about, 200 ACfG ,researchers copies of its Crlttque oj the ACI'G.

apturing a night in the life of NeW York is as elusive
as spotting the red card in three-card monte," says
New York magazine in an intrOduction to their "special" issue devoted to just that-a night in New York.
And app:µ-ently they found it even more difficult to capture thelesbians and gay men in that New York night.
Here are some of the diverse events, places and people
documented in photos and short essays'in the magazine: backstage before andduring a performance of City of Angels,the "Black Achievers in Industry" awards
at the Harlem YMCA, Bloomingdale's
after closing, an all-night produce-store
on upper Broadway and so forth, But
during that entire night, the only images
they managed to find of gay people were
offensive and cliched, There were' no pictures of lesbians at all, and the two shotsof gay men were stereotypes one froma new dance-club, the other of the entrance to a leather bar.
Don't misunderstand me, I certainly
have no objections to pictures of halfnaked men, and leather sex is indeed an
integral part of our culture, By choosing
only those two images, however, New
Yo~ ignores lesbians totally and reduces
the gay presence in the New York night
to disco dancers and leathermen,.Why not suggest to the editors at New York some of the
myriad other night activities in which lesbians and gay men involve themselves: the Black gay men's writing workshop, theconsciousness-raising sessions of COOL (Committee of Outraged Lesbians), a GMHC buddy on his or her rounds, ACf UP
committee m~tings, gay synagogues and churches, volunteer
night at the Lesbian Herstory Archives....You can think of many
more, Write to: Ed Kosner, Editor, New York Magazine, 755 Second Ave" New York, NY 10017, Or call him at (212) 88()..{)700,ae
We also would jike to congratulate the media on theinfrequent occasions when they look beneath stereotypes
and cover gays and lesbians in our diversity and as individuals. So here's an example of the media doing the job right.
Eda LeShan writes a column for New York Newsday
called "Senior Class." As the title suggests, it is aimed atolder people and deals with issues relevant to them (relationships, especially with family members, are of particularinterest), Recently she wrote a column headed "Accepting
Homosexuality" . that advised grandparents to be loving
and accepting of their lesbian and gay grandchildren. The
pull quote summarizes her thinking: "If you can give up
the teachings of your youth," that is, that homosexuality isbad, then "hopefully you will be able to tell your grandchild your love is unconditional,"
LeShan points out that homosexuality is not a disease andhas existed in every historical periOd, andthat there are proportionally as many stable relationships among gay couples asamong heterosexuals. If you'd like tothank Eda I.eShan and tell her what agreat grandmother you think she makes,
write to her c/o New York Newsday, 2Park Ave" New York, NY 10016," Update: A recent GLAAD Tidings
reported on comedian George Carlin's.use of the word "fagotty" in his routine'on HBO's Comic Relief After reading
the column, Carlin called GLAAD to discuss its contents with Karen Schwartz.
Carlin stated that he wasn't bigoted andexplained that he believes that tradition.. at hate words such as "fag" and "dyke"
are not in themselves bad but only become dangerous in a bigoted context-,-such as the racist, sexist and homophobic world in which we live.
Schwartz responded that the subtlety of that, point was probably lost on the millions of people who watched the show,
most of whom didn't have the benefit of knowing Carlin andhis convictions personally, Carlin stated that he would like an,opportunity to make a public statement against homophobia;
after some discussion, he agreed to collaborate with GLAAD
on a public-service announcement for 1V condemning society's homophobia and addressing some of these issues. Workon the announcement is slated to start July 1, after Carlin getsback from vacation, Stay tuned! T[IJ!!!!I[IJ!!!!I[IJ!!!!I[IJ!!!!I[IJ!!!!I======~

s much of the Queer
Nation now knows, lastmonth Barbara Bush wrote
a gay-friendly note to the
executive director of Parents andFriends of Lesbians
and Gays (P-FIAG),,
It was an effortless gesture, some think,a warm-hearted
missive from one
mother to another. But that little note,
piled atop a ~ries of gay-responsive
White House actions, has set off amaelstrom of fury among the nation's
influential homo-haters.
Rep. Wllliam Dannemeyer, the California Republican who has a peculiar
fondness for gay-bashing, termed Barbara's note "inappropriate." Politicalcommentators
Rowland Evans andRobert Novak warned that Barbara's
words "pushed the Bush agenda into
political danger." And Rep. Newt Gingrich, the Republican House Whip, isreportedly now working to convince
George that "in reaching out to gays, herisks estranging his core constituency
along with the uncommitted middle."
A highly placed spokeswoman for
Barbara was unwilling to discuss the letters and calls that came into the flrSt
lady's press office after word of the noteto P-FIAG director Paulette Goodman
leaked out among conservatives. She didsay, however, that Barbara "has been
opposed to discrimination against anyone for any reason for a very long time,""It reflects her opinion of discrimination more than anything else," thespokeswoman equivocated, noting that
although Barbara publicly stated that
she has close gay friends, she has neverbefore spoken out against antigay discrimination "probably because nobody
asked her." The first lady herself,
whose "schedule has been set for avelY long time now," was unavailable
for comment.

ast year George and Barbara
Bush did not deign to visit theNames Project Quilt even when it
was spread out in their front yard, andalthough they went to the Nationallnstitutes of Health in December to meetwith several gay people with AlPS, theircontact with the lesbian and gay community considering that it entirely
lacked any semblance of progay policy-seemeda lot more like "kinder,
gender" PR hype than real concern,

But this year, as the Gay '90s
begin, some activists think all of thatis changing. 'In short succession, George pub-,
licly opposed restrictions on funding
for the National Endowment for theArts, and delivered his flrStmajor AIDS
address, in which he called for compassion, confidentiality and an end to
discrimination. Donning macho drag,George planted a tree for Ryan White
only days before Ryan lost his long
battle with AIDS, Barbara went to
Ryan's funeral.
All of these little gestures seemed
like so many politically savvy maneuvers, but when openly gay and lesbian activists received engraved invitations to the White House ceremony
for the signing of the Hate Crimes
Statistics Act, even cynics began totake notice.
But as even Sen, Orrin Hatch-the
Republican from Utah who used to be
the darling of the neocons recognizedin his comment to The New York Times
that gay men and lesbians "certainly
deserved to be there," the presence ofqueers at the president'S residence was
fully explainable, After all, "sexual orientation" was included in the statistics
act, and as protocol has it, all advocatesof a particular bill are generally invited
to the signing,
What could not be attributed to any
political rationale were Barbara's noteto P-FLAG and her decision to placeiighte9 candles in the White House
windows on the evening of the Seventh International AIDS Candlelight
Memorial. Organizers of the vigil said
that they had lobbied hard for Barbara's participation in the event, but
she had decided that lighting candles
within the White House was "the bestthing for her to do."hUe any other moderately
powerful community might
consider these glimmers of'recognition mere crumbs, lesbians andgay men have leapt on the Bushes'
recent overtures as early indications
that a new attitude toward the gay community may be forming among conservatives particularly since the possibility
alwaysexiststhat
theunprecedented popularity the first people currently enjoy may rub off on conservative officials who emulate theBush's apparent openness. "We're notmarginal
anymore,"commentec;lUrvashi Vaid, executive director of the
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.
"We're right there,"
Oddly enough, the'significance our'advocates have attached to the recent
messages from the White House has
been echoed by representatives of the
far Right, who seem to think that' theBushes' latter-day willingness to recognize lesbians and gay men as' citizens
worthy of note is an ominous sign ofthe times.
In fact, to judge by the amoul!tof ink spent recording reactionary
ire, after the two most recent of
the first couple'S gestures-Barbara's note to Paulette Goodman
and George's
invitation
to lesbians and gay men to join thesigning ceremony
at the WhiteHouse -the far Right has become
positively nervous about its continuing influence,"It's a tragic message that is being
sent," Dannemeyer said of George's
decision to play host to gays. "What hedoes and says at the White House sets
the tone for acceptability,"
Richard Land, director of theSouthern Baptists' Christian Life
Commission, was so incensed overthe inclusion of queers in the Hate
Crimes Statistics Act signing ceremony that he wrote a letter directly toGeorge. "The White House," heopined, "should not be giving its
sanction and implicit approval tosuch groups,""Such an action provides
animplicit White House approbation of
their lifestyle,"
Land continued,
echoing Dannemeyer,"and it issomething no previous administration has done."
Other accounts attributed morediabolical forms of retribution for thelesbian and gay community's inroads
into the consciousness of the nation's
first family. According to several
reports, some White House aides
were so upset that lobbying began
immediately following the signingceremony for some kind of antigay
counterbalance,
Two recent attacks on lesbians andgay men have been rumored to constitute precisely that retribution-thedecision by the Immigration and Naturalization Service to rigidly

And if George really cared about theravages of AIDS, his fust major AIDS
address would have come long before
the second year of his administration, was already well underway,

"We should not delude ourselves
into thinking that the good signals translate into full access," cautioned Urvashi
Vaid, who drew national attention to
gay and lesbian criticism of George's
record on AIDS in late March when she
disrupted his first major AIDS address,
Arguing that the Significance of George
and Barbara's recent overtures needs tobe placed in the context of the last ten
years, Vaid contends that while the gestures have been small, if the sentiment
behind them is real, they signal thewaning of right-wing influence,Frank Ricchiazzi, executive directorof California's Log Cabin Political Action
Committee, an organization of openly
gay Republicans, expressed pride that
Barbara and George have in their recent
actions shown themselves to be true
conservatives, that is, he says, defendersof the rights of the individual. "When a

they're going to receive the kind of heat
they're going to get, it makes us understand their honesty and their unwUllrigness to tolerate discrimination."
Ricchiazzi also pointed out that
George and Barbara's arguably gay-positive gestures bode well for "men andwomen of the gay community" be<:ause
their actions repudiate the influence ofwhat he called the "band of Ayatollah
Khomeinis" who have infiltrated theRepublican party in the past eight years.
"If [the Bushes] support these conservative moderates, they can make a difference by showing that the crazies are an
isolated group," he concluded,
Still, this is not the first time lesbians 'and gay men have been bidden into thehallowed halls of the White House, andBarbara and George's apparently
decent demeanor of late may seemencouraging only because for the past
decade, gays have been fiercely assaulted by antigay bigots in positions of
power and influence, Twr.rs:1f.Y.8.

Ivers Iby Mark Chesnut
It wei FrIday night at the LesbIan and Gay Community Center, and a group of men wu hucIcIcd
around a long table, stuffIng hundreds of envelopes with what may be the biggest, most meticulously
referenced newsletter in the, tri-state area. These men are but a handful of the members of Men of All Colors Together/~ew York (MACf/NY), and one reason that their JunelJuly newsletter is so fat is that thegroup is celebrating its tenth anniversary, and they've got a few things planned in commemoration.
The group has chosen "Celebrate Diversity" as the theme of their anniversary, and this diversity of backgrounds and concerns is evident as I talk with various members, touching on a variety of issues both insideand outside the lesbian and gay community.
If anything, the issues on MACf/NY's agenda have diversified since its beginning as Black and White Men
Together (BWMf/NY) inJune 1980. Now claiming 25 chapters across the country, the first chapter was foundedin San Francisco as a social organization, and the New York chapter was also meant to serve as an alternative
to the bars and to provide support for interracial couples.
But BWMf/NY soon broadened its focus; in fact, according to Lidell Jackson, who joined in October 1980.
and is currently a member of MACf/NY's board, it was only a matter of weeks before the group began address
ing the political aspects of racism and multiculturalism. The flfSt task the group set itself was to discuss why the positions of
power within the organization were held by white men. That discussion brought more men of color into the decision-making process and also laid the groundwork for what was to becotne a continuing series of consciousness-raising (00 sessions.
These CR sessions are the backbone of MACfINY, Jackson explains, because they allow men of diverse backgrounds to discuss issues
that don't ordinarily receive enough attention: "If you have a friend who's of a different race from you, very seldom is the situation going
to arise where you will discuss the difference in your races and how that impacts on how you relate to each other, because friends, likelovers, steer clear of that ..,Agroup like MACf helps because it aids people to actually talk about this stuff." Jackson, who is Black, says thatthe group provided the opportunity for him and his then lover, who was white, to address the issue of intertaciality in their own relationship.
BWMf also involved itself in direct action, when its members challenged several gay bars that set quotas on the number of peopleof color admitted at anyone time. After testing and confinning the existence of these discriminatory door policies, members of BWMT
contaaed the media, picketed outside the bars for several nights and distributed leaflets to individuals and organizations.
It was this sort of political outspokenness that established BWMf/NY's reputation among the other chapters across the country.
"When we got to the first [national] convention in San Francisco in 1981, everyone was afraid for New York to show up," Jackson
recalls, "because by that time, we had become known as the pollNcal chapter. It turned out very nicely, once we got there, andeveryone was surprised to discover that the New York chapter was really a fun chapter."David Housel, who just completed a term as co-chair, agrees. "The reputation that MACf/NY has," he explains, "is that we cango to a board meeting, be dealing with really hard-core issues, yell and scream at each other, get all the stuff out that we need toand then go eat or go dance." The connection between the political and the soci~\l remains very important to the members of MAcr.
,'

When flnanclallmator.IImcs Toms, the new co<hI'lIIIIn, attended hi, fll'lt IWMTmectJns In 1981, he found thlt the group
was not what he was looking for: He criticized the group's limited focus and concerns. But he returned, and by the time he joined
MACf in 1986, the group allowed him to dovetail both his political and his social lives.
A symbolic step toward broadening the focus of the group occurred in 1985, when BWMfINY officially changed its name to Men of All

52

Ou-r..-WEEK

•Colors TogetherlNY. "It was a necessity," says Toms. "Men who arequestioning their knowledge of multiculturalism are not content to'settle for a Black-white dynamic. It was inevitable that a group basedon the struggle against racism, sexism and homophobia would
evolve into a multicultura1 perspective." This lllOI'&inclusivename set
a precedent for the other cilapters, severaJ of which have subsequently changed their names to variations on the MACf theme.
, While other organizations work within subgroups of the lesbian
and gay community, MACfINY aims to buUd upon the strengths ofa broad base of backgrounds; for example, each Dectmlber brings
Kwaanzaa, Hanukkah and Christmas celebrations. Bullding coalltions with other organizations Is a high priority for MACf/NY, andmembers hope to connect with other groups to further develop a
positive, multicultural atmosphere, Each monthly newsletter featuresa "group of note," which highlights other orpnlzatlons In the communlty. Group activities are frequendy planned In conjUnction withthese other groups, including MACf's partidpatlon In the upcoming
Puerto Rican Day Parade's lesbian and gay contingent on]une 10.
"that [step] is who you socialize with, who you are relaxed with."
To make sure there are plenty of opportunities for socializing, .
MACf!NY keeps a fuJI schedule every month that includes dances,movie nights, brunches and beach trips. Toms desaibes MACf as "aplace to do everything." "We provide a space for people to interact
multiculturally,"he says. "And we do it all. \'\e educate, we &X:iaIize, we
politicize." 'Ibis concept came to a head at the tenth·
Culturai, Politicaland Social Extravaganza onJune 2. The celebration included
music, art and dance, to name a few of the attractions. And onJune 26,
the annual CircleI.Jne Quise and Dance Party pushes off.
'
Jackson has the most fun during MACI"s frequent beach outIngs, but even these trips serve as more than just getaways:"Whenever we travel together, It's consclousness~raislng foreveryone else," Jackson explains, "because people are not used
to seeing an Interracial group of people going anywhere. Our
look alone It just throws people.""111eway that society Is going to change In demographics
over the next 50 years," Housel points out, "we are going to live
In a de facto multicultural society. The process we do [In MACI1
Is what society Is going to have to do at some point In the future,so In many ways we're doing the foundation work that's goingto have to be a part of society." ...

strokes. Provenance is the work of an artist in complete control.
Ann Wilson is represented with a work from the 70s.
A crazy quilt has been framed and each irregular bit ofcloth painted over. In the center is a black rose. EntitledState of the Unton: !be Black Rose in C Minor, the painting
was originally intended as a dirge to the Vietnam War, but
its message remains relevant today.
Near the quilt painting is a Peter Hujar photograph of
Wilson, lying stretched out and naked in the Fire Island
surf. The day is gray and overcast as the water runs
between her flllgers and back into the sea.
In Mapplethorpe's
photograph of bodybuilder Lisa
Lyons, Lisa with Hat and Veil (980), Lyons seems themodel of demure femininity with her face hidden by afeathery hat-until
you notice the bicep. This picture
addresses the complexityof identity. Taken over a
decade ago, it still has much to say: The woman appears
to be mourning, but her pose is one of militancy.
The younger artists in the show deal more overtly witheroticism. Lola Flash's untitled photograph is a diptych of
two radioactive, polycultural women making love. Set
against a black background, their bodies are glowing and'golden, their races blurred.

Steve DeFrank and Donald Moffett take a tonguein-cheek view of sex. DeFrank has constructed a sortof three-in-one painting called Things That Gush thatfeatures interchangeable
images of a volcano, Old
Faithful and Ranger Rick. Perched atop the painting I.

Leonard's black-and-white photographs of animal skins andtrophies c:an be seen at the Andrea Rosen Gallery.
There are countless gay and lesbian artists, and while,
this survey by no means represents them all, it's a good mix.
I only wish Haring were represented better. Displayed in a
vitrine is a little drawing of an angel flying up into spacescribbled on the inside cover of the c:atalog from his 1982
Shafrazi show. On the facing page is his picture-he wasonly 23, 24 years old then. This angel was an uplifting imageat the time; now, next to his photograph, it's too sad. T

IMlVllllAlION& HI
OHS) SERVICE WORKS IN SECRET•THEIR TOOLS:
mandatory HIV testing I

detention I deportation I exclusion

The INS denies entranc~ to the United States and threatens to deport people who have AIDS or HIV.The majority of these immigrants havebeen living here for up to ten years and consider the U.S. their home. Tbese policies deny access to medical services and perpetuate fear
and ignorance. HIV-positive immigrants are blamed for "importing" AIDS to the United States, even though they acquired the virus here.
,

THE IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE ROUTINELY:•

I incarcerates innocent people in detention camps
More than 7,500 foreigners are in INS custody. More than 25% of them have been incarcerated for over six months, deprived ofaccess to lawyers and families.

I deports people to certain torture and deathFor exampre, 6,000 Salvadoran refugees a year are shipped back to EI Salvador, where military death squads have killed arid
"disappeared" thousands.

I excludes peorie on grounds of sexual orientation, national origin, race, political affiliation
The percentage 0 refugees granted political asylum in 1989: 90.9% of Rumanian applicants; 81.6% of Soviets; 3.5% of Haitians;
2.3% of Salvadorans.

•

The U.S. government has forcibly tested more people for HIV antibodies than any other government in the world. The governmentis wasting millions of dollars on testing, instead of education and treatment Fear of mandatory testing deters undocumented
people from seeking health care or social services.
--•

The U.S. government continues its racist, homophobic and classist policies. It discriminates against people from some "Third World"countries and denies entry to lesbians and gay men, former "drug addicts," and current orformer members of certain political parties.
