• •••esse Helms, master of the politics of hate. His
catalog of targets reads like a laundry list of the
oppressed: people of color, the poor, women,
lesbians and gays, Third World peoples, the disabled. Wherever the downtrodden strive for abetter life, wherever the aftlicted long to ease their burdens, wherever the browbeaten seek to stand with dig.nity, there is Helms, obstructing light, creating conflict,denying justice.
.
It's-a fascinating commentaty on American politics
that such a disgusting demagogue, subsisting on thefrightening power of racial, sexual and national insecurities, calls his brand of hate "traditional American values." Lesbians and gays know the sad truth: Helms'
twisted version of traditional American values havealways oppressed, stunted~ confmed, lynched and murdered those who were different, and still do.
We understand Helms all too well. His is the voiceof the schoolyard bully, the obnoxious barroom bigot,
the nightmare most of us hoped to have left behindwith' adolescence.
Now, however, there is a chance that his scourge
will end. Harvey Gantt,the Democratic party's nomineefor Helms' Senate seat, is slightly ahead of the hatemonger in the opinion polls. Gantt, a former mayor ofCharlotte, is the firStAfrican-American from any state toreceive the Democratic nomination for Senate. He isprogressive, intelligent and humane. And he can win.
Everyone across the country who longs for an end
to the oppression of minorities, an end to sexual
hypocrisy, an end to governmental philistinism, an end
to the politics of hate, has a stake in the defeat of Jesse
Helms. The best way to accomplish this ~ to support
the election of Harvey Gantt. And the best way toaccomplish that is to contribute financially toward
Ganttis election .
.Arch-conservatives nationwide pour money into
North Carolina every six years to ensure Helms' reelection. Let those who believe in the politics of hope andhuman liberation do the same in order to ensure his·
downfall .

Reply From the Closet
OutWeek recently went••out of Its way to bash
Republicans In an editorial(no. 55, July 18) about afailed low dealing with gaybashing.
The editorial correctly
condemns the Republican
state Senate for not passing
the blas-crlme bill. However,
It continued Into a bloodbath against an entire political party.
OutWeek
said
that
Democrats supported the
Inclusion of sexual orlentatlon--but they forgot to mention that one Democrat from
Rochester voted against thatprovision. OufWeek said that
the Republicans opposed
the sexual-orlentatlon provlslon-but they forgot to mention that one Republicanfrom NYC favored the Inclusion of sexual orientation.
And the bashing continues. "The Republican party
has stood for greed, for selfIshness,for militarism, for the
suppression of freedom andfor hatred of minorities." In
one stroke, OutWeek has
lumped tens of millionsof voters Into one hateful category.
Group hatred of this magnitude can only be matchedby Senator JesseHelms.
The defeat of Senate bill
5.4600 was a disgrace andthe Republican
senators
who opposed It should becondemned. But the editorial also Ignores the fact thatmany gay Republicans lobbied for the bill, by phone,In writing, In visits to Albany.
OutWeek
calledgay
Republicans "deluded andself-hating." Gay Republicans don't make vicious
personal attacks against thegay press; why should thegay press. make characterassassinations against gay
Republicans?
It's time to get real, The

Republican Party has beenaround for a hundred years
and will be around foranotherhundredyears .
Stomping your feet, kicking
and screaming, holding yourbreath until you tum blue Is
not going to change that.
We must work within both
political partles--get real.

Important to bring theseoccurrences to the attentlon of your readers, It Is

Specifically, I am referring to how I felt when I

cannot understand why you
would print a photo of the
Roost In that context without making sure to explain
that: a) the lesblan-bashlng
Incident near the Roost
occurred outBlde the bar
and not Inside It, and b) the
Roost has been an Incredibly gay-friendly place foryears.
The owner has sponsored Thunder, a Prospect

been welcome to 'hangout" there after games andpractices. During non-softball months, women congregate there every Wednesday night. And theowner attempted to placean ad In this year's 'Prlde"

because the copy was not. ready on time.

MIchael Paller responds:

Theater Is Innately pOlitical,

In that a play, through theworking out of a conflict,espouses one s~t of values
over another(but thisdoesn't necessarily meanthat the playwright Is always
aware of the values his playurges on the audience).
Scott McLarty Is wrong, however, to say that I'm Interested in separating "political"
and "aesthetic"
criticism(even If I were, it would not
be possible any more thanit Is possible in every case to
separate "polltlca/"
and"aesthetic"
elements
In
plays). What I am Interested
in doing, however (among
other things), Is suggestingthat In our day and age
most playwrights do not set
out to right wrongs In thesame sense that, say, social
workers do. And even If theyda, they often end up doing
something else or expressing
something they did not suspect was In them (one has
only to read Bernard Shaw,for one, to discover this).
More than that, however, I
would reiterate that playwrights are entitled to theirvlews-political, aesthetic orotherwise-even
if they
don't measure up to somecritic's or audience member's sense of what Is 'politieally correct. " (By the way, isthat last sentence a politicalstatement or an aesthetic
one?)

Gay protesters face a year in jailby Cliff O'Neill
WASHINGTON-A
band of six
aCtivists staged a raucous demonstration in the congressional
office ofRepublican Sen. Jesse Helms of North
Carolina on July 17, and each of the six
may face up to one year in jail andfines of up to $600 apiece following a
possible jury trial.
The six have been charged with
unlawful entry, punishable by six months
in jail and a $500 fine, and demonstrating
in a Capitol building, punishable by six
months in jail and a $100 fine. Bothcharges are misdemeanors.
At their July,18 arraignment in
D.C. Superior Court, the six pled not•

guilty to all charges. A date of Aug. 14
has been set for a status hearing. All six
were released on their own recognizance after spending about sevenhours in custody.
Philip Gagner, the protesters' attorney, confirmed that the government
has offered to throw out the charge of
demonstrating in a Capitol building in
return for a guilty plea on the lesser
charge of unlawful entry, but he said
that he has not entered into formal
plea agreements with the state.
The protesters, all members of ACf
UPIDC, targeted Helms for what theycalled a "career ... of bashing gays,
lesbians and people with AIDS."A state-ment from the group cited the North
Carolina Republican's unsuccessful
effortS to exclude food handlers withAIDS from the recently approved disability-rights bill as the direct cause forthe demonstration (see story, p. 14.).
At 1:30 pm on Tuesday, July 17,
demonstrators, Victoria Coffman, Mike
Hutchens,
Camille Lore, Michael
Petrelis, M. Moore Robinson and Lorrie
Sprecher entered the mail room ofHelms' office in the Dirksen Senate
Office Building by aback <. door. Once
there, they used Helms' facsimile
machine to transmit press releases
about the action and presented Helms'
staff with a mock letter of resignation .

arrested the demonstrators. Journalists
reported that police officers and Helms'
staff purposely blocked print photographers and television-camera operatorsfrom recording the demonstration.
"I'm so frustrated that after allthese years of Helms, there's neverbeen an action in his [D.C.] office,"
said Petrelis after his arraignment July
18. "I'm more than willing to put mybody on the line to get in Helms' facewith our anger."Two years ago, Petrelis, a coordinator of Tuesday's demonstration, wasa member of a protest group called the
Lesbian and Gay Freedom Ride, which

staged a similar kiss-in in Helms'
Raleigh, N.C., office in 1988.
Helms, during debate on an antigay amendment to the Hate Crimes
StatisticsAct, pointedly described his version of that action on the Senate floor inefforts to discredit gay men and lesbians.
Asked whether the recent demonstration could have a negative impact
on future congressional
actions byantagonizing Helms, Petrelis argued
that the senator has never needed
provocation before to attack lesbians
and gay men.

"I think that all the lesbian andgay Americans who participated andcontacted their members of Congress

Gregory King, communications director for the Human Rights Campaign

But Peterson took issue with theappropriation of the funds. "It's lacking
balance. Only a sliver of the budget

Peterson
addedthat the budget "is not a budget forcommunities of color, it is not a fiveborough budget, and it is not a budget

City spending on AIDS will total$307 million this year in city tax-levy
dollars, up from $241.6 million lastyear, according to Mark Elliott, deputy
director of the Office of Management
and Budget. New York City's total
operating budget for the upcoming fIScal year tops out at $27.9 billion.
Peterson stated that the most significant "cut" in the AIDS budget
comes in the flat funding of community-based organizations. Groups such as
the Minority Task Force on AIDS and
GMHC will be funded by the city at
the same level as last year, althoughthese organizations
expect theircaseload to increase by 40 percent to
60 percent.
Proposals backed by CAF thatwere funded include several AIDS-prevention programs to be run by the
Department of Health to the tune of$1.1 million. The Human Resources
Administration's Division of AIDS Services will spend $2.5 million to add
180 case-management workers and 44
support staffers, as well as $6.5 million
on housing and an ongoing rentalassistance program. The Health and. Hospitals Corporation has $5 million in
new funds to spend on three AIDSdesignated care centers, four pediatric
AIDS primary-care teams and to purchase AZf for people with AIDS.
CAP members have in the pastobjected to the spending of city funds
on the purchase of AZT, claiming that

this was the responsibility of the stateand federal governments. CAF had
sought to spend these funds on recruiting women and people of color toclinical trials.

OUR. SKIN DOC IS BOARDCERTIFIED NOT ONLY AS A

Diane Arneth, chair of the Staten
Island Task Force on AIDS, echoedPeterson's sentiment that the budget
ignored the city's outer boroughs.
HRA's Division of AIDS Services has
no office on Staten Island, effectively
forcing people with AIDS to travel to
Manhattan to be served by that agency,
according to Ameth. There is no AIDSdesignatedcare center on Staten
Island, nor does the Health and Hospitals Corporation have an acute-carefacility for PWAs located there. The
Department of Health does run ananonymous HN-testing and -counselingfacility on Staten Island, which operates three days per week. Ameth said
that she expects the Task Force's
caseload to triple in the coming year.
Marie St. Cyr, executive director of
the Women and AIDS Resource Network, objected to what she called thelack of gender specificity in the budget. "Women's concerns are not being
heard," she told OutWeek. According

NEW YORK-A new legal challenge to insurance companies' control
over the tteatment choices of their policy holders has been issued by an mYpositive
man whose insurer has
refused to cover the cost of an operation that could save his life.
The suit, filed by Thomas Bradley,charges that Empire Blue CrosslBlue
Shield violated the terms of the healthinsurance poliCy he has held for nearly
20 years by refusing to underwrite thecost of a bone-manow transplant operation and associated hospitalization andtherapy expenses.
Bradley, who has,
AIDS, is severely itnmunosuppressed,, and his physicians have determlned thattransplant may be the only
option Bradley has to prolong his life.
EmpIre Blue Cross/Blue Shieldclaims that the procedure Is "experimental" and has refus«!d to pay for It
on those grounds, although bone-marrow transplants have been used totreat people
with dysfunctional
immune systems for years, according
to medicial experts.
Papers Aled with the suit also statethat the total cost of the disputed procedul'e amounts to only about $5,000,
while the bulk of the expense, estimated at $150,000, Is generated by thehigh 'COStS of hospitalization and antibiotic treatment.
"IbIs is happening all over the countty, and If this Is not discrimination, It's
damn dose',", remarked Bradley. Bradley'scue Is particularly compelling because hehas a seronegative Identical twin who has
volunteered to participate In the operation. The Johns Hopkins physi~ whowas set to perform the procedure before
Empire Blue CrossIBlue Shield refused
payment, Dr. H. Kent Holland, estimates

18

O~EK

August 1, 1990

that Bradley has a 9O-percent chance ofsurvival and recovery.In 'addition to the possibilities ofreconstituting Bradley's immune system, a bone-marrow transplant could
also set back Bradley's level of mv
infection.
"If Mr. Bradley does not receive
the treatment soon, his condition is
likely to degenerate to the point at
which he is too debilitated to withstand the treatment at all," Dr. Holland•"II this Is notdiscrimination,
Itls damnclose.'"•
said In an affidavit filed with Bradley'ssuit. "Time is therefore of the essence."
According
to John Kelly. a
spokesperson
for Empire
Blue
CrossIBlue Shield, the insurance c0mpany's medical group has deemed bonemarrow transplant "investigational" incases where it would be used to treat
people with HIV infection because theprocedure has not received the "approvalof the medical communlty as a whole.·"If insurance companies can now
say using a ttie4 and true treatment forother immune disorders Is experimental with mY, we're condemned to Ave
to ten years of no treatment," countered Evan Wolfson, an attorney with
Lambda Legal Defense and Education

Fund and co-counsel to Bradley.
According to Wolfson, Bradley'scase challenges the role of Insurancecompanies iii. making treatment decisions. "Doctors and patients ought todecide," he argued, pointing out thatwhen underwriters
can eliminate atreatment option simply by refUSingreimbursement, control over an individual's health Is wrested from the policy holder and his or her physician andceded to the insurance co~pany.
At least four other people with
HIV-related immunosuppression haveundergone the bone-marrow transplant
procedure, and of those four, three
responded well to the treatment. furthermore, the Food and Drug Administration has approved use of the procedure, according to Dr. Holland, andboth New York Medicaid and Connecticut General Life Insurance Company have provided coverage forbone-marrow transplant as a treatment
for HIV-related immunosuppression .
While Empire Blue Cross/Blue
Shield's spokesperson would not comment on the suit filed by Bradley, Kelly
did concede that it would be "unusual"for his company to refuse payment fora procedure that Medicaid has covered.
A hearing on Bradley's motipn for
an injunction was scheduled for last
week, according to Mark Scherzer,
who is lead counsel on the matter.
However, Scherzer continued, because
Empire Blue CrossIBlue Shield Is arguIng that the dearth of medical literature
on bone-marrow transplant as treatmentfor mY-related immunosuppression has led them to conclude that theapplication is experimental, the New
York state Supreme Court may schedule an evidenciary
hearing before
deciding the question ....

SAN FRANCISC~ayboycotts
of Miller beer are brewing in San Francisco, Dallas and elsewhere, and brewery officials are busy jetting around thecountry "putting out fll'es," according
to Willia,m Waybourne of the Dallas
Gay Alliance
Miller is owned by the Philip Morris Company, which is a major contributor to key anti-gay Republican Sen.
Jesse Helms of North Carolina. Morris
also owns Marlboro cigarettes, the target of a rapidly growing gay boycott
launched by ACf UPlWashington, D.C.
Helms' pro-tobacco
votes arebelieved to be the impetus for Morris'
contributions both to his campaign and to
the Jesse Helms Museum, which is now
under construction in North Carolina.
According to sources, the action
against Philip Morris was expanded toinclude Miller beer because gays who
don't smoke wanted an opportunity topressure Morris and Helms as well.
Miller, for its-part, is horrified that its
parent corporation contributes to Helms,
and representatives of the Milwaukeebased brewery met with gay actiVists in
Dallas and San Francisco in mid-July toattempt to head off the boycott drive.
In a half-page ad in the July 7 San
Francisco SenNnel, .a gay newsweekly,Thomas Reed, Miller corporate-issues
director, wrote: "From time to time, Miller
finds itself in a difficult situation when
Philip Morris contributes to a politician
who makes statements with which we
totally disagree. We disagree with Sen.
Jesse Helms on human-rights issues.
''The people at Miller," the ad, continued, "are strong supporters of humanrights and believe in individuality and thefreedom to chOose. Miller's equal-opportunity employment policy includes protection from'discrimination based on sexual orientation. [And] Miller and its distributors are longtime supporters of thegay community."20

HIGHLIFE OR LOWLIFE?
Logo from a six-pack of Miller beer
Reed said that in the past 30
months, Miller and Philip Morris havedonated more than $600,000 to AIDSrelated projects throughout the country.
He also detailed the beer company's
funding of the Gay Games, the San
Francisco Lesbian and Gay Freedom
Day Parade, the Shanti Project and the
San Francisco Pool, a gay billiards club.
"The actions of Miller Brewing
Company and our distributors over theyears have demonstrated our commitment to the gay community," Reed
wrote. "You have our word that thecommitment will remain solid.""We hit a nerve, and Miller is
responding, and they're responding
fast," boasted Nancy Solomon of ACf
UP/San Francisco.
"We think that's great. And we'would be happy to call off the boycott
if they renounce Helms and his campaign against gay people and AIDS
funding and AIDS education, and ifthey demand that their parent corporation cease ali funding of Jesse Helms
and the Jesse Helms Museum.
ACf UP/SF is insisting that Miller
place advertising in daily newspapers
in North Carolina demandingthat•

Philip Morris cease all contributions toHelms.
"It's one thing to put an ad in adinky little gay paper in San Francisco," Solomon said. "We want Miller totell the voters of North Carolina that it
does not support Helms and his vilification of gays."
In Dallas, Waybourne reports that
Miller's contributions to the gay community-by
Miller's own accounting-amount
to $1,000 to the gay
parade, 50 kegs of beer to an AIDS
fund-raiser and 20 T-shirts to the AIDS
Resource Center.
"We pointed out that this is not acommitment but merely good marketing strategy,"
Waybournsaid.
"Miller enjoys 50 percent of the beermarketin Dallas,
and we areappalled that the profits end up in
Jesse' Helms' pocket. Miller's time in
Dallas is up. It is no longer fashionable to financially support those whobash us," he concluded.

Anti- Violence Project adds staR
by Nina Reyes

•

•
•

NEW
YORK-Twolesbians
embracing on Bleecker Street near Sixth
Avenue -were attacked by a dozen adolescents and beaten last week. While
the women escaped serious injury, theassault reinforced fears among anti-violence activists that the wave of anti-lesbian and anti-gay violence in lesbian
and gay neighborhoOds is showing nosigns of slacking off.
To deal with the surge in reported
cases of violent gay-bashing, the New
York City Gay and Lesbian Anti-Violence Project, citing an "extraordinary
increase" in the number of reported
assaults, announced last week that a
part-time counselor has been added tothe organization's staff to help copewith the onslaught. The new AVP position is being funded during July andAugust--traditionallythe most violent
months by Joe Sciafo, owner of theMonster, a popular gay bar in Sheridan
Square.'.
"It seems that there's this intense
hatred focused against the community,"
said Noli Villanueva, the new counselor,
who is working toward his master ofarts degree at the Hunter College
School of Social Work. "[This job] gives
me a sense that I can help."
On another front, a neighborhood
patrol, dubbed the Pink Panthers byorganizers, has just been formed. The
Panthers intend to walk in groups,throughout the Village, keeping an eye. on what's going on, arid intervening if
necessary.
The two women assaulted on July
18, Heidi Dorow and Suzanne Wright,
were
huggirig
when
they wereapproached by a single youth, who parted
from a crowd of .approximately 12 young
men and women to address the women.

OUTTWEEK

August 1, 1990 '"l.ezzie!Kiss me--don't kiss her---kissme, lezzie!"the youth rePOrtedlysaid in athreatening voice to Dorow and Wright As
he continued to harass them, Wrightattempted to push past him, at which
point he turned around and punched
Dorow in the head. Wright grabbed him,
and he landed a blow on her head, too.
The rest of the gang then leaped into themelee, according to Dorow, and within
seconds the women had been kicked andpunched to the ground"They beat the shit out of us,"
Dorow flatly stated, explaining that thetwo women's continued resistance, evenafter all 12 youths had entered the fi:ay,
seemed to enrage their attackers. "I wasshocked that I was being beaten,"
Dorow recalled, "and the moment I
tried to get a blow in, they became
more aggressive."
The assault subsided, when twopassersby pulled several of the youths
off Wright. By the time the two women
had gotten back on their feet, their
attackers had sauntered off, leaving thetwo women surrounded by a crowd ofapproximately
20 spectators. "There
were these people standing around andgawking at us," Wright recalled. "I got
up and started screaming [to the gathered people] 'Go get those motherfuckers! Go get them!'"
The two women's ordeal thatevening did not end with the physicalassault, however.· As they made their
way to Sixth Avenue to hail a cab to the
St. Vincent's Hospital emergency room,
they were verbally harassed and taunted with anti-lesbian remarks repeatedly .
After receiving treatment at the hospital, the women reported the assault to
the 6th Precinct. The attack was classified as a bias crime by the precinct's
captain. To date, no arrests have been

made in connection with the assault:"Things are not going to get better," remarked Matt Foreman, director of
the Anti-Violence Project, noting thatbrutal anti-gay and anti-lesbian attacks
have been taking place in the Village
on a weekly basis.
The 6th Precinct has the highest
number of recordedbias-related
crimes in the city. Yet, Foreman continued, "[This incident occured] on
the same day it was announced thatthe police were adding resources toseven precincts in the city. The 6th
Precinct was not considered among
them."The Pink Panthers will meet thisWednesday, July 25. For information,

WASHINGTON-A JYdllei of gay andlesbian activists met with a key staffer fromthe National Endowment for the Arts on
July 13 to discuss the agency's recent
refusal to fund four controversia1 performance artists and demand a statement of
support of gay and lesbian art from theFndowment's chair.

Force, Holly Gewandter of the Gay andLesbian Alliance ~Defamation's ~dom of expression project, and Cheryl
swannack, a Task Force adviser, met with
Julie Davis, chief.counsel for the NEA, overthe controversy.
Davis is responsible for drawing up
recently issued NEA guidelines throughwhid:I the agency will approve grants andpolice them for ronlroversia1 content
The activists were angered by NEA
Chair John Frohnmayer's June 28 decision to pull previously approved grants
to perfonnance artists Karen Finley, Holly
Hughes, Tim Miller and John Fleck. The
four artists' performances deal with avariety of personal and political issues
including, but not limited to, feminism,homosexuality
and AIDS. Nudity is
involved to some extent in several of thepresentations. All but F'mley are gay.
The activists charged that since all
their performances somehow touch on
gay and lesbian issues, the Endowment's decision was' based on homophobia and political pressure to pullfunds to certain provocative artists.
But the Endowment has denied
those charges, insisting' that the decision
to pull three of the grants was based on
their lack, of artistic merit The NEA has
stated that the fourth grant refusal, that ofWest Coast gay performance artist ,Tim
Miller, was based on improper completion of the grant application fonn.
Activists distrust the NEA's explanation, pointing out that Miller's grant application made it past peer-review panels
twice before being rejected, and that twoother rejected artists-Hughes
and

•

..

Fleck-bad previously had work fundedby the Endowment. Davis declined comment through an NEA spokesperson.
Activists insisted that the meetingwith Davis, while helpful, was not a
substitute for a meeting with Frohnmayer, which they requested in a July
3 letter to the NEA.
According to Radecic, Davis insisted
that homophobia and political expediency were not motives for the grant refusa1s
and argued that the agency has a commitment to gay and lesbian artists. But
fearing that political pressures could lead
Frohnmayer to pull grants from other gay
and lesbian artists, the activists demanded a public statement from Frohnmayer
expressing the agency's continued support for gay and lesbian artists.
Radecic noted that Frohnmayer
has, before congressional panels, publicly defended NEA grants to D.C. lesbian poet Minnie Bruce Pratt andFrameline, the producers of the San
Francisco Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. Both of those grants have been thetarget of criticism
in right-wing
newsletters and direct mail campaigns,
according to Radecic.
Now, she says, gay and lesbianactivists want Frohnmayer's purported••• •COInImtment
10 wntlOg.
"We made it dear that the gay andlesbian community should not be the ones
that are saaificed when there are politicaldecisions to be made," Radecic said.
A bill reauthorizing the NEA for
another five years was to have been
debated by the House the week of July
16 but was postponed until at least thefollowing week. A number of proposals
seeking to limit the agency's funding ofcontroversial art are expected to be introduced as amendments to the bill.

Gaywed-,din s in
Madison?
MADISON, W1S.--Gay and lesbian
couples may now fonnalize their relationships at City Hall in Madison, WIS.
The Madison Common Council
voted 16-4 June 5 to establish a systemof domestic-partner registration. Local
couples can obtain a certificate ofdomestic partnership from the city clerk:,
after proving they are in a committed
relationship, live together, are not married and are not already registered withsomeone else. The process costs $25.
Supporters of the new law say thatdomestic-partner
registration meansthat Madison has recognized that gay
relationships and relationships between
unmarried heterosexuals
are just as,valid as those of married people.
The same day, Madison passed a
new law making it illegal for so-called
public accommodations to discriminate
against domestic partners in the offeringof family membership plans. The law
was directed at the local YMCA, which
had refused to sell a family membershipto two lesbians and their children.
Both ordinances were proposedby Mayor Paul Soglin, openly gay
aldermen Jim McFarland and Ricardo
Gonzales, and seven other Common
Council members.
Madison, home of the University of
Wisconsin, is considered one of themost progressive cities in America. WISconsin and Massachusetts are the only
two U.S. states with gay-rights laws.

Through a chain of conversations initiated by the defendant's
niece, false rumors that McCune had
AIDS spread around town.
Subsequently, Neitzel said that
her sister did not want' McCune's
mother to work in her home.
Employees of McCune's brotherbecame unwilling to work with theplaintiff, and he subs~quently lost
his job. McCune also began drinking heavily after having b~en soberfor six months, according to
own testimony.
During the trial, the judge rejected a demand by the defendant's
lawyer to question McCune about his
sexual orientation and medical history, although McCune's negative HIVantibody test results were permitted
as evidence.
The damages awarded were
determined by a trial jury and approximate McCune's lost income and benefits, according to the court.

Honoredactivistout gay activist Bob Dolan on the newspaper's front page last month, according
to Out, a Pittsburgh gay publication.
Wise's alleged threat followed
Dolan's threat to sue the newspaper
after Wise refused advertising for the
Gay and Lesbian Alliance of ButlerNew Castle.
"He insinuatedthat he would
openly expose me as gay and highly
publicize my name on the newspaper's
front page," Dolan said. "Threatening
to expose me as a gay man is likethreatening to expose George Bush asa Republican."According to Out, Wise termed
the activists' advertisement "offensive"and said the words "gay" and "lesbian"are "ftlth,." The Butler Bugle also bans
liquor ads, beer ads and ads that are
sex-oriented, Wise said.
The experience has inspired Dolan
to suggest that Butler County gays
begin the battle for a countywide antidiscrimination ordinance. But othermembers of the new gay alliance are
not ready to take that step, Dolan said.
Bulter County borders Pittsburgh to thenorth; the city of Bulter is 20 miles past

years," Rubenstein said in a press release.
"I intend to advance that agenda just as
vigorously in the months ahead."
Another advocacy lawyer, David

Noting that his older brother is hearing impaired, Harkin signed his closing
statement on the bill as he spoke.
Creating one of the most dramatic
scenes yet to emeIBI! from the action onth~ bill, Rq>ublican Sen. Orrin Hatch of
Utah, ,the chief Republican sponsor of
the bill, broke down in tears on the Senate floor discuSsing the bill's fmal passage, speaking of his brother-in-law who
spent the end of his life in an iron lung.
The House gave its fmal approvalin a 377-'113 vote the night before, shortly after turning back a last-ditch attempt
by Republican Rep. William Dannemeyer of California to reattach a nercely
contested -provision-killed earlier in a
House-Senate
conference-which
would have allowed employers tomove food handlers with a disease of"public-health significance" to othernon-food handling jobs.
The proposal, inserted earljer inthe House by Democratic Rep. Jim
Olapman of Texas, was at first cut by
the conference committee but was thengutted, restructured and reinserted by
the Senate as a proposal which would
only allow such job reassignment in thecase of diseases determined by the ofHealth and Human Services secretary
to be transmittable by food.
The amendment
has been
opposed by a broad range of publichealth officials including former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop and
Health and Human Services Secretary
Louis W. Sullivan.

The provision

Unlike, . other illnesses, not coveredby the bill, AIDS cannot be transmitted
through food.
Seeking to revive the original provision, Dalinemeyeril)troduced amotion to send the bill back to conference with instructions that the original
Olapman language be included.
After debate on
the issue of food,handlers with AIDS, marked by Dannemeyer's repeated assertions that thebill will be called a "homosexual bill of

In floor debate, Republican Rep.
Steve Bartlett of Texas, who had been
the leading proponent of a host ofHouse amendments to the bill which
would have lessened its impact on
businesses, took the unusual positionof arguing against the Dannemeyer
motion. Noting that in conference the
Senate agreed to 80 out of 81 House
amendments to the original bill-withthe sole exception of the Chapman

"Whether we're silently going about ourbusiness or whether we're acting up,
Helms fmds a way to attack us."That also seemed to be theconsensus among the national gay
and lesbian lobbyinggroups in
Washington.
"People gotta do what they gotta
do," commented Gregory King, communiCations director for the Human
Rights Campaign Fund. "Jesse Helms'
actions can inspire people to takeextreme actions in response, and certainly, civil disobedience is a respectedaction in America.""I would have hoped Jesse
Helms would have come to his
senses and signed the [resignation)

lobbyist for the National Gay andLesbian Task Force, who maintainedthat the demonstration would haveno effect on' Helms' positions concerning the gay community.
"I think he hates gay and lesbian
people so much that it doesn't matter," she added. "Lifefor gays and lesbian activists on Capitol Hill is notgoing to get worse because people
were in his office. His hatred and his
bigotry run so deep in his soul thatthe demonstration will have little or noeffect on our job."Calls to Helms' spokespeople

women of color, and the city has noconcrete strategy for reaching this population with an AIDS-prevention message. "As we discuss secondary issues,
the primary issue of prevention is
being lost," said St. Cyr, who called fora massive allocation of resources tocarry an AIDS-prevention message to,women and their sexual partners.
Peter Smith, president of the Partnership for the Homeless, faulted thebudget for what he characterized as its
meager allocation for AIDS housing.
Out of a city-capital housing budgetthat totaled $700 million, $11 million
was committed for housing for PWAs.
These funds will be used by the
Department of Housing Preservation
and Development to renovate singleroom 'occupancy hotels for PWAs,
according to Smith, who said that heremained hopeful that additional funds
could be allocated to AIDS housing
during the course of the year.
Ronald Johnson, executive director of the Minority Task Force on,
AIDS, said of the budget, "It does not
fully meet ... the needs of people incommunities <if color, particularly interms of an education campaign."
Johnson noted that some targeted
AIDS-education
campaigns amongpeople of color were successful, but
added, "We still need a broad-based
education campaign that's targeted
toward the general community." Johnson stated that the budget continues tounderfund substance-abuse treatment
programs, ignoring the relationshipbetween N-drug use and HN infection: "We are getting more rhetoric
about substance abuse than dollars
from city officials. That doesn't work.
We need treatment on demand." Johnson cited primary care as the mostimportant budget item that had notreceived sufficient funding.
Other cuts made by the city in,AIDS spending include the eliminationof nearly one million dollars for a needle-exchange program and the cut of
50 school health-resource coordinators,
slicing another million. New York City
has cut spending in excess of $800 million to make up its budget shortfall.
Taking a conciliatory approach,Jennifer Kimball, assistant press secretary for Mayor 'David Dinkins, concurred with CAF saying: "We do notthink It's enough. Unfortunately, nothing is enough in this budget. There aremany needs that have to be met. [Themayor] was not able to give enoughmoney to any programs." Kimballtermed as "very significant" the factthat the mayor made new AIDS spending a substantial portion of all new city
spending.
CAP began lobbying for increases
in this year's budget last December,when it distributed a 120-page report
to many city officials. The report,
CAP's funding agenda, called for $156
million In new city spending just to
keep pace with New York City's AIDS
epidemic. Faced with a budget shortfall in excess of $1 billion, CAF
endorsed a "survival budget" put forth
by the Citizens Commission on AIDS.
That $29-million budget was termed a"moral benchmark." In May, Dinkins
presented his preliminary budget,
proposing $9.1 million in new city
spending on AIDS, a figure CAP disputed ~s inflated.
In June, during the City Council budget hearings, CAP, together with ACf UP,
met with City Council members to obtain
their support in restoring cuts the Dinkins
administration had made, a move that waslargely ineffective. Although City Council
members have greater budgetary powers
under the new dty charter, Peterson c0mmented, "The City Coundl sti1l lacks thepolitical will to fight for funding to keep
pace with the epidemic." Peterson said
CAP members were particularly angry
with Council Majority Leader Peter Vallone, who has refused to meet with CAP
representatives for two years. Peterson
called Vallone "irresponsible" to not meetwith front-line AIDS-selViceproviders.
More recently, CAP and ACf UP
have met with Commissioner of HealthDr. Woodrow Myers, Dr. Emilio Carillo,
head of the Health and Hospitals Corporation and Commissioner of Mental
Health Dr. Billy Jones, who is gay.
Insiders said that the meetings were aneffort to gauge which budget items theagency heads would actively support
in the next fiscal year ...

New York's Alternative/Holistic Treatment Qxnmittee, offered the Center support in requesting a rescheduled seminar
before the Conference ended, this timewith prominent advertising and a publicannouncement. After Acr UP's intervention on the Center's behalf, conference
Organizers first accepted, then rejected,
the request.
Meanwhile, the Center was taking
the offensive. It formulated a proposal
for future International Conferences
on AIDS to greatly expand the presentation of indigenousand holistic
health-care approaches by including
an additional "track" devoted to this(with PWA participation), adding holistic practitioners to the existing clinicalresearch "track" and opening the research screening committees to participation by alternative practitioners andIronically,
the same"international" conference which
offered horrifying
statistics of the devastating AIDS toll in
the Third World
showed no interest
in innovative, wellresearched ideas
from those very
countries.
scientists. Center representatives won
support from several Third World doctors and scientists and held preliminary discussions with officials from
WHO, a co-sponsorof the annual
Conferences. The assembled Acr UP
members issued a press release supporting the proposal and exposing thecorporate-inspired
exclusion of alter-

native treatments.
On the eve of the Conference's
closing, the International AIDS Society-prlmary sponsor of the annual conclaves and nominally a "democratic
membership organization" (open to anyone paying dues of $20 per year)-held
its annual meeting. Center representatives attended and added their Conference-expansion proposal to the agenda.
Over 30 Acr UP members from various
cities also attended, forcefully arguing fora variety of activist points, including theaddition of HIV-positive members to thegroup's board and banning all future
Conferences from countries where evenone province has an HIV-exclusionary
immigration policy.
After aimless debates (the meetinglacked a quorum to make decisions),
and despite starting the meeting 40 minutes late in order to beef up security fora feared Acr UP action, the chair announced that the allotted time for the
meeting was over. This was before theCenter's proposal and several othergrass-roots developing-world initiatives
could be presented. As the chair adjourned the meeting and walked out,
Acr UP members chanted and waved
placards. The Center vowed to mount aninternational campaign in the coming
months, seeking broad medical community support to win acceptance of its
proposal by the organizers of next year's
Conference in F1orence, Italy.
So the International Conference's
politics of exclusion will receive another richly deserved challenge. It is incumbent upon U.S. Acr UP groups&-which some developing-world
AIDS
workers accurately view as almost
silent on the epidemic's global dimensions to join this effort. As the Center
states, "This proposal can provide afirst step in uniting the practitioners
and scientists in the worlds of modern
biomedicine and indigenous/holistic
medicine." Beyond that, bringing tolight research on cheap, nontoxic andreadily available healing approaches
just may provide a key to stopping
AIDS genocide in both the developing
and the developed worlds.

the major step of coming out in a national newsweekly: "It's a matter ofmaking [Mr. and Mrs. Average American] realize that homosexuality is a partof their lives; it could be their son ...it
could be the football quarterback thatthe coach is teaching. It could be anylxxiy; and you would be proud of them. "That's right, Daniel Layer. All of us
should applaud you-and
Newsweek-for presenting your story in such agay-positive way. And when we write

was devoted to lesbian and gay couples with and without children. Takenote, Herb Clen.

Started'Iin 1982, in San
IIFrancisco, by Dr. Tom Wadddl, a1968 Olympic decathlete, the Gay
Games survived a bruising court bat- 'tle with the U.S. Olympic Committee,
which succeeded in denying the useof the word "Olympic" it) the official
title. Despite the novelty of the idea
and the USOC opposition, the Gay
Games I drew 1,300 men and women
to San Francisco from around theglobe. In 1986, almost 3,500 men
and women participated in the Gay
Games II.
The Vancouver celebration doubles the number of competitors andsports, with additions such as croquet,darts, equestrianism, martial arts andeven Canada's favorite ice hockey. It
is an irony that, with the cultural component, the event truly mirrors those
Greek competitions that gave us theforbidden word, Olympic.
There is no doubt that the original Olympic games were-to use amodern term-gay. Only men could
partidpate--and watch. The athletes competed in the nude
(tradition credits the warrior Spartans with introducing thepractice). The Games brought together a disparate, frequently warring population to affirm their cultural unity.
Poetry and the arts were key. One of the glories of Greek
literature, the odes of Pindar, were Olympic commissions,
lyrics that begin with an athlete's victory but soar into theether of mythology and plumb the depths of the humancondition.
To be sure, the Games in Vancouver will have significant differences from their ancient prototype. Modern athletes, alas, compete clothed. In place of Greek phallocratic
sexism, the Gay Games III approach sexual equality: 43
percent of the competitors will be women. (Richard

Dopson, the Gay Games international-outreach chair, says
that- the modern Olympic games have 15-percent female
participation.) And while the ancient Greeks focused on
winning, Waddell and his' successors have kept their goalon participation. At these competitions, it is continuallystressed that "everybody wins."
The Games will be located in a complex of buildings
just southeast of Vancouver's high-rise downtown, the remnants of Expo '86. (It may be among the last events to use
the buildings and pavilions: A Hong Kong businessman has
bought the site and plans to develop it.) The opening andclosing ceremonies, August 4 and 11, will take place in the

oleomargarine, which were, in turn,
good for three and a half cigarettes.

Smith (Daily News) and Fran "get me to
the next cocktail party" Lebowitz, attacking
OutWeek and, in Us magazine,once again
calling us "fascists."
Oh, please, Sandy. Yeah, and while
you're at it, there's Stalinist, Maoist,
McCarthyite, Nazi, Confederate and even
British Imperialist. (Can't you people atleast come up with more creative words
to hurl during your name-calling frenzies? How about "shithead," "fuckface,""dickweed," "jerkofr or anything elsethat at least lets the reader use his or her
imagination-I
mean, what Is a dickweed, anyway?)
For somebody so seemingly talented,
you'd think Ms. B. would get with the pr0gram with regard to topical political subjects. Maybe she could even read a little?
Maybe she could get past the reactionary
drivel and engage in intelligent dialogue?
But I supposethat Sandy, like everyone,
else trying to make a buck in that sleazoid
town out west, says whatever her publicist

tells her to say especially regarding thedreaded topiC of homosexuality.
But the topic of homosexuality is, as
we know, feared more among homosexuals than anyone else. For instance, in a
recent issue of the Adwcate is an interview
with Fran Lebowitz in which-once
again--Q discussion of her sexual orientation is omitted. <:This happens often at thatpublication. Perhaps they should change
their description to the "National ClosetCase" Magazine.) I know that you're all
saying, "Who doesn't know that Fran
Lebowitz is the biggest dyke on the sutfaceof Manhattan?" But, truthfully, darling Fran
has never said the "L" word with regard toherself. In fact, she's one of the mostambiguous media-mistakes I know. Not
only does she try to keep her sexuality•
Some people
call Fran
Lebowitz aprofessional
boldface.
•
cloudy (that's a laugh), but no one can figure out what the hell she is otherwise. I
mean, I suppose you could say that she's awriter, but, to quote Janet Jackson, "Whathave you done for me lately?" Some pe0ple I know simply call Lebowitz a professional boldface (a person who soley goesto parties and gets her name in boldface ingossip columns the. next day).
In the Adwcate interview, Lebowitz,
without identifying herself as a lesbian,engages in all sorts of anti-OutWeek blather, calling us you guessed it-"fascists,""McCarthyists," "Nazis," etc. It really isamazing. People have characterized mybrand of journalism as "unethical." Andyet, here is a magazine which interviews
someone about the issue of outing anddoesn't tell us that the interviewee is a
closet-case lesbian-afact that certainly
changes the meaning of anything she may
have to say on the issue. Go figure.
But journalistic ethics are funny tha~way, you know? Personally, I don't believe

they exist, and that's why I constantly challenge the stupid, oppressive rules theseidiots have laid down like roadblocks.
Honestly, .the whole idea of "journalistic
ethics" is something of a control mechanism used by rich, straight, white men.
After all, they were the ones who originally
dreamed up the flfSt sets of such ethics.
You see, it's everything they don't want
you to print that is "unethical" to print. And
yet, when it's convenient, they're the firstones• who break their sets of ethics---QIld
then they're the flfSt to reissue them. (Forinstance, when People's well-known West
Coast bureau chief, Scott Hailer, died a
couple of weeks ago, the magazine would
not print in the obit that he died fromAIDS (because his family did not want it
disclosed) and reported that the cause ofdeath was "renal failure." This was in spiteof the fact that there were lots of grumblings from gay writers there, and more
hypocritically, in spite of the fact thatpeople was the first and only publication toreport that Giorgio Sant'Angelo and otherdesigners died from AIDS, though the families did not want it disclosed and othernews organizations wouldn't report it.) The
whole thing, you see, is a farce. They saythat they can't write about people's "private lives," and yet they. tell us all about
the intimacies of straight men like GaryHart, Donald Trump and Jim Bakker. Theysay that they won't stand for bigotry intheir publications, and yet they allow every
lowlife violence-inciting homophobe tohave his own column.
Speaking of Pete Hamill, seeing others attack him for his tirade in Esquire wasalmost, well, orgasm-inducing(you'reright-thisjob is getting to me). Most
notable was the inspired Doug Ireland at ' .
the Village Voice, who took Hamill to task
point for point and sadly noted that he'dspoken to Hamill, whom he considers afriend, many times over the years about
Hamill's homphobia. But the message justsimply hasn't sunk in.
Such revelations suggest that I'll beyelling on the telephone at lots of monsters for a long time. And hitting those
CAPITAL lEITERS like a madman.
Fine. I can handle that.
Just as I can handle the juicy antics ofpeople who call at all hours to declare,''This is an outing," before spitting out thename of some famous nobody they've.shtupped.
I know, I know. This is all getting too
bizarre. T

•cigarette pack, the quartet stopped
playing and stared at me with analmost terrifying greed, and Edelweiss
directed my attention to a large posterthat had somehow escaped my notice
until then but now graphically informed me that smoking was strictly
forbidden. I put my cigarettes away
and the quartet resumed.
After a fretful while, a liveried attendant came in and mled my Waterford
glass with Vichy water. Several minutes
later, another attendant placed a hard rollon my bread plate. I glanced up at
Edelweiss to determine whether or not I
could commence eating, but her sterngaze was inscrutable, so I broke open
the roll only to discover that a note had
been baked inside. I furtively attempted
to read the note but could only make out
a crudely drawn skull-and-crossbones
before Edelweiss snatched it out of myhands and crumpled it. She clapped
twice, and the string quartet immediately
packed up their instruments and music
stands and ran off to the service elevator. The liveried attendants marched inand hastily cleared away my place setting. Edelweiss dispassionately told methat the executive board had beendetained at a stockholders' meeting, andthat lunch would have to be postponed
indefinitely, whereupon I was led
down yet another corridor whose
walls were hung with what appeared
to be F.B.I. "Most Wanted" posters. I
thought
for a moment that I'd
glimpsed a mug shot of my friend
Ernst, who has been missing for the
past few weeks, but before I could
make certain, I was pushed into theelevator and taken back to my cubicle.
A sweat-soaked copy clerk popped
her head in a few seconds later to tellme that my review was due in ten
minutes, or it would be dropped fromthis week's issue. After speedily making the deadline, with three minutes tospare, I opened my desk drawer to eat
the roll I had taken along with me'from upstairs, but, not surprisingly, themice had gotten there first. I'm notentirely sure whaf to make of this
episode, but I think that I can safely
conclude that an invitation to sit at thetable is no guarantee that the meal will
be served.

by Karl Soehnleinummer in Hollywood is allabout boys and their toys.
Beatty has his radio watch,
Cruise his car, Arnold his
arsenal. There doesn't seem to beroom at the box office for Demi
Moore's pottery wheel, but that's
about as heavy as the hardware getsin Gbost. There are also no car chases, no Top-40 soundtrack and no
homophobic jokes to keep budding
young men laughing. In other words,

no boy-stuff at all, which is thepoint. Paramount's president, Barry
London, explained recently that
Ghost offers "an opportunity to theoften overlooked female audience"an opportunity, that is, for the girlswho-watch-boys to insert themselves
into the longing gaze of Patrick
Swayze's desire.
Brat Pack beauty Demi Moore
plays Molly Jensen, a sculptor (this iswhere the pottery wheel comes in)
who moves into a fa-a-a-bulous
Tribeca loft with . her investmentbanker beau, Sam'Wheat (played by
Swayze, yesterday's dirty dancer of the
moment). Sam and Molly are in love:
They do little more than kiss, hug andlook longingly into each other's eyes
while slow dancing to '60s ballads ontheir jukebox (a testament to just how'.

fa-a-a-bulous their baby-boomer loft
really is). This hetero love-fest isexcessive but necessary, since Sam is'about to get killed off, and the entire
plot rests on the premise that theaudience (the "overlooked female
audience," that is) identifies completely with Molly'Sloss.
The film finally picks up speedwith Sam's death, a scene so visuallystunning that it stopped my cynicalsnickering in midbreath. Shortly after
his death, Sam discovers that he's
fated to be a mere spirit in Molly's
life: He can see her, but she doesn't
know that he's, well, hanging around.
Eventually he tracks down his killer,a Puerto Rican thug from the Bronx(establisi;ling Ghost's second other~worldly presence-peopleof color).

the Reaganite '80s, a hail-fellow-well-met

Sigourney Weaver and the mama monster fromAlien(s), the decade's hit celluloid couples were virtually all same-sex,right down to Batman. The two unlikeliest teams-Nick
Nolte and Eddie
Murphy in 48 Hours and Mel Gibson
and Danny Glover in Letbal WeaJXm-were the biggest bonanzas, propellingthe buddy boom right into the '90s.

American wars on crime and drugs. The
men-in-combat imagery, and all theattendant homoerotic sparlG, even meetthat other bastion of buddydom, theAmerican West. San Francisco is hometo the 48 Hours guys and Los Angeles tothe Letbal Weapons.

~.
The sexual subtex1s are every bit asstereotyped and offer the first suggestionthat something unspoken may be goingori, too. Women get the worst of it. The
license of contemporary film lets the twoseries tum the misogyny of male bravado into a'spectacle, in widescreen and Dolby. Unless they're homewith the kids, the gals get fucked orshot, usually both. No one is off-limits.
In the first Lethal Weapon, Glover's hip
young daughter proposes Gibson's
dessert after his first dinner with the family: "Would you like a tart?" The ftlm
actually begins with a beautiful young
woman-:-nude, of course-flinging herself, nipples to the wind, off the great
black erection of a high-rise building (inLos Angeles, remember). We see a single
photograph of Gibson's (deceased) wife,
glimpsed from above as he stares downat the picture on his lap: Her smile andhis ootch are one. For the length of thefUm, the more civilized Glover neveronce refers to a woman by her nameunless he's angry. The all-male preserve,in fact, becomes a refuge from the
opposite sex. One of the leads' fellow
police officers avoids a lady investigatOr

The 48 Hours team makes the
Lethal Weapon buddies look chivalrous.
The woman-hating in the sequel ranges
from gratuitous, glancing affronts to theliteral exploding of the female body. The
first category includes Murphy's stunned
disbelief at a brother's conversion to
Christianity: "I was there when you beat
the bitch up." Later, two motorcycle
maniacs in leather burst their bikes
through the SCreen of a porn house,
splattering a slit between two outsizedbreasts being massaged to the highest

treatl\lents. He has failed to support
needle exchanges and bleach distribution for addicts who put themselves atrisk. He continues to deny U.S. entry to
acknowledged gays, lesbians and HIV+

I'" add that he sucks up to Jesse Helms
when it comes to preventing useful sex

imperiled youth. But he loves the flag.)

Editor's tiDs for tourists:

A (*) denotes a cluo that attracts TVs.
_ The NYC club scene is volatile. Can first to confirm parties.
Clubs generally open at 10 pm, close at 4 am, unless otherwis.e noted.
Admissions range from $5 to $15. Invites offer discounts, and are. sometimes required.
Some clubs, especially Copacabana, but also Roxy, Quickl, Mars, Love
Machine, and the Building have been known to let people in random•.Iy or selectively, rather than have a simple line at the door. Discrimination on the basis of race, gender and orientation is illegal.
Selectivity based on attire, attractiveness and attitude is not. Looking
perky, exotic or rich Itelps. Coming very early can be helpful, too.
Mixed parties usually get gayer as the night wears on.
Special one-time parties are listed in the day-by-day calendar.
.
Clubs that serve Coors will be noted but not excluded from these listings.
Send openings, closings, corrections and dish to Rick X. Box 790, NYC

USE A CONDOM WHEN FUCKING.
Avoid oU-based lubricants such as
baby oil, Vaseline, Crisco etc., as they
can c,ausecondoms to break. Instead
use water-based lubes like KY.The
older a condom, the less reliable, sofind condoms whose manufacturers'
dates are less than three months old.

2.

USE A CONDOM DURING ORAL
SEX. If you don't, avoid placing thehead of your partner's cock in yourmouth. HIV-infected cum or precum
can enter your bloodstream throughcuts, tears or ulcers in your mouth.

3.

USE DENTAL DAMS DURING
ORAL-VAGINAL SEX. HIV is present
in some amounts in vaginal secretions,urine, menstrual blood, and infectionrelated vaginal discharge.

4.

NEVER SHARE WORKS. This
includes needles, syringes, droppers,
spoons, cottons or cookers. If you mustreuse works, clean them after each
use with bleach, or in an emergency
with rubbing alcohol or vodka, bydrawing the solution into the needle
three times and then drawing cleanwater into the needle three times.

5.

AVOID FlSnNG, RIMMING, OR
SHARING UNCLEANED SEX TOYS.

··6.

AVOID POPPERS.

7.

AVOID EXCESSIVE ALCHOHOL OR
DRUG USE, Many people are unable
