new district line locations. Census
data, election results, information
derived from mailing lists and otherdemographic
statistics will all be
included in the data base.
While noting that gays and lesbians

Gay and lesbian observers of the .,Districting Commission's work continue
to express disappointment in the level ofthe community's overall interest. Whilesome of the city's ethnic groups, mostnotably Asian Americans and African
Americans, are organizing to submit .testimony and data on their communities tothe commissions, gay and lesbian efforts
are embodied in just a handful of people.
Some sources have suggested thatthe appeal of direct action has resulted
in flagging attention to the technical ~pects of traditional electoral activism.
But recent gay successes at the'polls, including the election of Eve Preminger tothe Manhattan SUtTOgate'sCourt and l~bian candidate Deborah Glick's victoryin the Democratic primary for state Assembly from Greenwich Village, may
presage a renewing community willingness to engage in traditional politicking.
The gay community's interaction
with the Districting Commission is complicated by its demographics, While,
there are certainly neighborhoods witha large gay population, gay men andlesbians are more likely to live throughout the dty's many ethnic neighborhoods than other minority groups,
which are often identifiable
as a clear,
majority in certain areas. While Bedford-StuyveSl!ilt is populated almost entirely by African Americans, and Manhattan Valley's Latino majority is clear,no one really knows if a majority of theEast Village's residents are gay and lesbian, 'despite an obvious gay presence

NEW YORK-As GMHC takes.. steps to end its period of tremendous
growth, Which, in the nine years since
the agency was founded, has soinetimes topped 300,percent per ye;lr, ahuge gap in the provision of client
services will ineVitably open. "I don't
see the demarid goi~g away," said recently appointed director of client
services, Tommy Thompson, whose
division will be most directly affectedby the new plan, "De.!J18f1d
so far outstrips the availability [of services].
There are people out there who can, wander in and will use that service."•
While critics charge th,at theorganization is relinquishing a fieldthat it has taken pains to dominate,leaving thousands of PWAs in the,lurch, this is not the first. series, ofcontroversial steps GMHC has taken
to limit its caseload.
I.. . The primary functions of theorganization' are to provide social,emotional and legal support and toassist clients with obtaining publicly
funded financial and health care benefits to which people with AIDS are
entitled. In consonance with thesegoals, GMHC offers services that include criSis intervention, buddies,group therapy, recreation, legal assistanceand financial advocacy.
,
However, the agency has also·deliberately steered clear of some
services, For instance, the organization decided not to offer the services of a treatment facility and has
consistently declined to offer services to people who are current intravenous-drug users. Similarly,
only people with AIDS and AIDSRelated Complex and only people
who are residents of one of New
York's five boroughs are taken into
GMHC as clients.
Most of the agency's doings
are perfornied by nearly 2,000 volunteers, who undergoriQorous
preparatory training before being
assigne,d to clients as buddies.
The agency employs about 130
people full-time.

. The· short-term growth-management plan devised for testing in the firSt
half of next year attempts to shore up
the health of GMi-IGby limiting its services to only 100 new clients per.month, Even with that quota, thecaseload of the organization will continue to grow, but in the last six months,
an average of 155 new clients permonth joined GMHC, and the new cap
on intakes wilLallow the aganization to
streamline delivery of services.
Other orders to control expansion
fall basically on two other areas of service, The ombudsman's office, whichseeks to quickly resolve clients' urgent
health care problems without legal intervention, will take no more than 200
complaints each- month after th~ growthmanagement program gOes 'info effect,
down from the approximately 250 complaints that the office fields now. And

Added former ED.McFarlane, "Theproblem GMHC faces is that we created a gigantic expectation,"
The decision -to'implement controls on expansion also introduced asketchy long-term strategic plan thatconcentrates on cost-efficiency analysisof existirig programs and proposes new
methods of raising money. And severalof the points laid out in the long-term
plan, such as the possibility that GMHC
could presently attempt to recapture
costs through Medicaiq reimbursements, betray an undercurrent ~f nervousness about the future fiscal stl:bilityof the organization.

John Dingell, Sullivan wrote that he opposed, among other items, provisions for
fetal research, increasirig participation of
women and people of color in clinical
trials, chronic fatigue syndrome research,and hiring senior researchers at salaries
competitive with the private sector, All
are directly related to AIDS research.
"The letter represents Dr. Sullivan's
po&ition and the position of the administration," said an HHS source who requested anonyinity. "'There are efforts to
get Republicans to actively oppose thebill." He added that this legislation wasamong "hundreds of issues and hundredsof bills the department has an interestin." The bill, HR 566-Nationa! Institutesof Health Revitalization Amendments of

ing the bill's progress,
In his letter, Sullivan takes issue
with a provision that would undermine
his authority to regulate fetal tissue transplantation research by setting up an independent,review board, which, Sullivan
wrote, "would be an intrusion on the executive branch." He added, "It is ourjudgment that the pursuit of fetal tissuetransplantation research has the potentialof providing an ,inducement to proceedwith an abortion for those women con"sidering terminating a pregnancy-," .
Because fetal tissue can be planted
in a person's thymus without rejection, it
has important implicatiOns in AIDS research. T cells, an essential part I?f the
body's immune'system, are made in thethymus. "There's a real implication herethat abortion's illegal," criticized Ende,"It's not." Sullivan also objected to including more women ~d people of color in.clinical trials, an iSsue of concern to activists, "Such an inflexible require~ent
could in fact jeopardize the initiation of
NIH clinical trials,'" he wrote, "including.the very t:riaIs that would provide valµable
data relevant to women's health." .
•He opp<)Sed a provision for chronic
fatigue syndrome research, saying that
the NIH is already studying it. (Some in
the gay community believe chronic fatigue syndrome is related to HIY infection,) He opposed expanding the authority of the National Institute of Allergy
and Infectious Disease's AIDS Re$ea1'ch
Advisory Committee, which, he wrote,"would be inappropriate for an Institutelevel committee to provide advise [sic]on research priorities to other components of the NIH," Finally, he opposed a
provision that would establish research
positions at salaries no less than those
paid in the private sector, claiming that
the Federal government is working on arevised personnel system. ...
-blan voting bloc, if left intact by the commiSSion, could put its own candidate, ,straight or gay, in office, Plel also said
that she hopes to move the co~unlty
to "make noise" and attend the comm!s, slon's hearings. •A motivated minority
can make a difference," she said .

self-arming,. cautions that the'.remarkable restraint shown by
the community thus far cannot
last. "No other community•
would have. endured this violence without responding in
kind," he explains. Further,. more, acknowledging
theap~lthat striking back with,
the,." dramatic decision· to arm,
the community holds, particu•
larly, the sort of "don't-fuck.~ith-us" message that many
,lesbians and gay men want topublicly broadcast, Foreman
comments,"Tempers andpatiepce are now worn to thebreaking point."-' "f think if violence against
lesbians and gays continues toescalate" that's going to have to
be one of our choices," warns
Pink Panther Gem Wells, eventhough she ,too does not personally advocate self-arming_., Several· oth,er people contacted for conunent disclosed .
that they occasionally carry
concealed weapons when they
expect that they .will be in a"threatening situation, but only
one individual confessed to.having pulled out his weapon.as a deterrent to violence.
'Ho,:",ever, respondents ,uniformly agreed that the tempta,".
tion to publicly take .up anTIS,
in the hope that their action
would .intimidate potent-ial
gay-bashers, is overwhelming. .
But if the strap-on-a-sixshooter mentality is emblematic of profound desperation
among lesbians and gay men,a majority of the community
still seems committedto,,resolving the problem without '.
reS9rtingto in-k;ind retaliation.',.
"This is not the sQlution,','
to aN'ery
serioussocialproblem',"observes
Sam"Ciccone, direct<;>rof Gay Officers Action League, a group. of openly gay and lesbian cops, pointing out that when
· individuals act solely for their self-protection, the larger· issue of where bias-related
hate comes from be· comes easy t<?ignore, thus defeating any real efforts to·' combat homophobia.
.
.
In contrast to queers interviewed who want to self-arm
for an increased sense of safety, Vanessa
Ferro, the lesbian,
and gay liaison for the police department, reported that•••carrying a gun at ali times,
which she is required to do asa police officer, gives'~er nQ,
added security. "P~waysfeel
like I am at risk," Ferro
admitts. "I don't feel 'aboveI
any other civilian in this city."
Other lesbians and gay
men who have packed a pistol
in the past note that weapons
often end up being turned
against their owners, ultimately
making gun-possession potentially more dangerous thanwalking softly without that
big stick,"I would understanditand recommend it for someone who is truly trained," says•
Rodger McFarlane, director of
Broadway
Cares and an
expert in small firearms. But,
he adds~ "It's important topoint 'out that for people who 3!
are trained in 'hand-to-hand~[combatl and small arms, most ~of their training is in avoiding li
copf!ict and resolving confl!~ :§and using deadly force only in ~B
the last resort,"~". Still another argument
against the impulse to self-arm
is based in the utterly reasonable fear that if even few gay .
men and lesbians' publicly vow
to harness on a holster, it will
give the cops the excuse
they've been waiting for to train
their own cross-hairs on us.

Activists anticipate that the new guidelines for classification of bias-related Cases, which are being written to cOmply

signed m.to law earwith the federal Hate,.

hate-motivated aime.. But until the hate-crimes bill in Albanf

From Jan. 1 to Aug. 31, counting 71 hatemotivated crimes against lesbians and gay men,
the bias unit logged a 107 percent increase in anti-gay crimes

As this westbound train hurtles throughthe darkfless, and I nervously clutch a hatbox
and a box of fudge in addition to my own
battered baggage, I know that I am remindedof sometblng. But what? Of course, my first
impulse is to say, "Part Four of Jacques Godbout's masterful story of rupture, Le Couteau
sur fa Table," except that that partic~i1artrain.in that particular tale was traveling east. Perhaps', then, I'm recalling the opening chapter·of M.T, Kelly's 1Do Remember tbe Fall, wheretl)e train waS certainly headed west but only
so faras Elk Brain, Saskatchewan.
Perhaps,.
,though, I'm not, At any rate, this situation
feels mighty familiar, which is more -than canbe said aboµt anything back home.
.
, Back home and ev'en now, after allthese yellf$, I am not entirely comfortable referring to Manhattan,. as bome; one does .not as, Joan Didion observed,"live" at Xanadu~
Manhattan, the familiar was slippingaway- at an astonishingly rapid rate, To give an example:
When I arrived at my office on the 51st floor of the OutWeek building one pearly Tuesday morning last week, I was
met l:>y yet anotber woman, the third in as many months,
who identified herself as Edelweiss, me personnel liaison,but ~ho, £rom a certain angle, looked like Gwen Verdon,
the musical comedy star, I started tb apologize for notawarding the engraved pastry marble to her "aunt"'s entry
in the now-defunct Annual Summer Fudge Competition, but
she ~ply shrugged and said, "Life,"Then she invited me
into;my own office (where the furniture had apparently
been rearranged during the night) and told me that she'd.
COllle to discus.s ,my traVel plans, Noting my confusion,
Edelweiss said that she'd been informed by my editor that I~ntendedto take a short trip, and she wanted to explain the
Outlf'Hk vacation polley (which turns out to be nonexlstenO as well as to giye me some travel brochures, While my, edi~or had, in fact, suggested a little rest, preferably someplace quite very far away, I'd not really given the mattermuch consideration, Now, Edelweiss pressed some pamphle~ into my hand and left, humming "We Both Reached
for the Gun." Only then did I notice that the portrait ofJ(endall Morrison
which usµally
hung on the wall neXt to,,where. my desk used, to be had been replaced with analmost faultless reproduction of David's The Death of Marat(excePt this Marat was holding a copy of mycoluinn in his
lifeless hand), The. telephone rang at that moment, and the- caller whispered, "Aber etwas feb/I" and hung up,". . That evening,' I went "Dining .Out!" at the Berck-Plage
Restaurant, where electrifyingly colored sherbets were
scooped from the freeze by pale girls: My friends Alvin andEarl did not show up (I ,learned later. that Alvin had,

thought, mistakenly, that it was a fastday), but Johann, the pianist from therevolving cocktail lounge of the Marriott'.
Marquis Hotel, did unexpectedly sit
down at my table. I expressed surprise,and he said, after ordering the macker~
el, that he'd come to discuss my travel,plans. He went on to say that he'dheard once again from myoid school
chum Julian, and. it was now imperative.
that I go to see him. I tried,' once more, 'to make Johann understand that i don't
know anybody named Julian, but herefused, as always, to listen. He
instructed me to examine carefully the .
brochures I'd obtained ftom Edelweiss, 'and to make arrangements to go to thesecond place:. "But you will not go to the second place,Instead I shall meet you at the train station and give you
your new directiotlS," In vain, I attempted to tell Johannthat I really wasn't planning on taking a vacation, that otherpeople were forcing this decision on me. He merely said:"You have already grievously failed the community once .byrefusing to 9eliver our message. It would be inadvisable todisappoint us a second time, Remember, please, to bring
the packages-the hatbox and the fudge you were given
three weeks ago." He left just as the bill was brought to thetable, along with some black and green lozenges, (Themeal, by the by, was superb, but that discussion belongs tosome other occaSion.)
I 4id not, of course, leave town right away, but
othef events, which could be taken as somehow sinister, helped convince me that this might be a good timeto get out of the city for a little while, For example, myvideocassette of Torch Song was s,!!itched with a copy
of· Torcb Song Trilogy. The furniture was completely
removed'from my office during the lunch interval. And
finally, when the Contributing Writers Grievance Committee phone-tree called three times within 48 hours to
notify me of a demonstration, a community forum anda $~OO-a-plate fµnd-ra~ser, I packed my sweaters andmy medication, grabbed the hatbox and the fudge andtook a taxi straight to Grand Central Station, where
Johann was patiently waiting at the newsstand,.
The idea that this journey will in some way benefit thecommunity does allay certain of my apprehensions. But I.do not know where exactly, other than westward, I am
headed on this train. I,do not know who this Julian iswhom I am supposed to meet. All I do know is that when I
reach the border, I am to open the canqy box and wear thehat. Everythmg else, so they tell me, will be made apparent
in its own wtse, The fudge, by the by, is a bit gritty,,..

most recently, Asian Positive, a look .at

reminder that there are many gay andlesbiafl "communities." 'KS: Were Orientations
and Cht,
nese Characters made for different
audiences?
RF:My background in community,
teh;:vision gave m~ a really strong
sense of audience. Our station manager used to say, 'If you only reach 15
people, but those are the people whoneed to see this tape, then that's .good 'programing.' So when I did Orientations, I very much geared it toward gay
and lesbian Asians, Chinese Characters
deals primarily with Chinese as
opposed to Asians, but I had a sense.
,that it was talking also to all gay men
around the issues of pornography.
,
Both tapes responded very much topolitical needs I saw in the community.,, Chinese Characters came about,because there was a locked, polarized,debate going nowhere. between certajn
ra~~ feminists who opposed pornog, ';1lphy on all grO\~nds,.not making-any
distinctions between' homosexual
and,heterosexual~what
I thought wM avery crude argument-andwhat I
would call libertarian gay men who
said that because gay men'; had beendenied access. to sexual representation,
we had to support any kinci of sexual
representation, no matter what it was ..
As a gay man of color who was sympathetic to feminism, I saw w~ole
areas not being discuSsed. The people
I described as libertarian wer.~ allwhite men and hadn't stopped to thinkof how people of colortelated to gay
pornography, whichusually excludes,,us or demeans us. We wanteci to critique ,pornography but didn't want tofall into a pro-censorship kind of discourse, because pornography is also

really important. People in small toWns
come to gay corisciousness first by seeing things like Mandate way before
they hear of gay liberation. So pornography serves a real function, but it
does that at the expense of a more
complex identity.
KS: The tapes you made after thatare the tapes about your family, right?
RF: Yes, In '!be Way to My Fatber's
VU/age, I W!lS trying to figure out thisrelationship I had with China, which I'had never seen but which played sucha largepart in my senseof who I was,.
and other people's sense of who I was.
A lot of Western-born Chinese have avery complex, contradictory relationship to the country. It ,fin~ them inspite of themselves., The tape with mymother is, in some ways, the mostsophisticated and, in 'some ways, themost mainstream, although I probably"ould like to think of it as accessible. I'f1!W up in Trinidad at the point of
independence,
My mother g~ew up
during colonialjsm.:....:she's.81 years old
now. Her ideas really reflect a colonized ide.ntity, At the same time, 1'.anted to scrutinize my own identity.
My mother took Super 8s of us when
we were growing uP,. so the tapeincorporates that, and, there's stuff
about me growing up a sissy and stuff.
I had originally thought I would justspend a little time d~ing that autobiographical stuff, > and then 1 got into it
and it absorbed me more,'
KS: Your most recent work deals
with AIDS.
RF: Yes, 1',did . the HIV tapebecause of the extreme level of denialof the gay Asian community in Toronto, and how it doesn't create a spacefor people. who are positive to comeout or to seek help or support fromtheir friends. I'm involved with the Gay
Asian AIDS Project and was at a safersex workshop, and 1 was just amazedat the way people 'Put mv so far awayfrom them and talked in a derogatory
manner about mv, not, even thinking
that someone among them'may bepositive. So what I wanted to do in
Asian Positive was create a context inwhich people will beable to talk about
things and not feel is0lated, to' feel that there
are other people whohave experienced these•"at'! kept

things. The' tape isn't geared to giveinformation or talk about specific•issues around activism, but· to do~methjng much "softer." I feel that's
what needs to be done now.
KS: The GMHC safer-sex tapeseems to combine the issues of Cbinese Cbaracters and Asian Positive.
RF: 1hat tape took me a long time
to do 'because I couldn't find Asians 'who would 'have sex on camera, and 1
think it has to do with people being
more wary about doing sexually
explicit stuff. 1 originally wanted tohave two East or Southeast Asian people doing it-two"Orientals."1
couldn't fmd anyone, and it took memonths and months of promises fallingthrough. In the end, 1 used one person
who's Chinese and one person who's
Indian. What 1 kept falling into was,Who can fuck whom? It· becomes thiskind of geometry of sexuality: How do,you work out these grids of oppresSion, and how do you balance them? It
brought together for me a lot of theissues around "countering" work.
KS: How did you solve the,dilemma?
, .
RF: I don't think I did it in a verysatisfactory way. 1 had the Chinese gliycarries a lot of ideological baggage withfuck the Indian guy, but the Indianit. '!be Casbjlsis a great example. of what

MM: Another rumour was that.,...
you are working 9n a screenplay, true?
'DL: Yes, I am working on a screenplay, an original screenplay for an AIDS
film. I. am working
with John
Schlesinger, It's really hard, I didn't
expectit to be as difficult as it is. You.
have to think in a totally different way.
I've done a very, very rough first draft,and I'm going to go back oUt to California .to meet with Jo1m. But
I never really,wanted to write a screenplay:He.
approached me about it.' He had read'/be Lost Language of Cranes. He~..want.
ed to do an AIDS film. He had theseideas for it, and I think he's such.a
good director. I'ye been such an admirer of his for so lorig, ,particularly Sunday BloodySutulayand
Mtdntghteow. .

unflinching, he's very 'unafraid, 'and I
think he's lived thrOugh, it. 'He's· been
through it; he's experienced the AIDS•
crisis' from "very nearby , 'and froin
inside to a great .extent-ilIld I. thought,
Well; if lean write this script, arid heeanmake it into a gOod film, thep'that's.
something I would like to 'do.
loS! Language has .been optioned"
and it's being done by the BB<;, inEngland, but that's a whole different
project. I'm not writing anythirig forthat one.
Among my ambitions for thisfillll--Q1ld this is what's difficult about
working on the screenplay~wanted•it to be a very intimate film, somethingthat was about people before it was
about AIDS.' At the same PIne; I reallywanted to get in the politics, and I
really wanted ,the film to 'have some"sex because that was my major-_complaint about ,Longtime Companlo.n,.
.that it was .a completely'anti-sex
movie. So. trying to negotiate all thoSe, 'desires is diffiCult because; on the one '.

Brown are kind of it. ' , .
I think; that the problem there is
not only the gay issue, but there'$ sexism involved and the fact that it's a lotharder fQr worpen writers anyway. , I
also think because th,ere is a greater
amount of homophobia about lesbianism ih that area than there is aboutmale homosexuality. There's kind of an
accepted role in the literary world forgay men, and I don't think there is for
lesbians. But I'm pretty confident that it
will change. Someone will come out of
the woodwork
and takeover that role.
