It seems that they can spend years studiously ignoring the most earth-shaking developments in the gay arid lesbian world: ignoring AIDS, ignoring anti-gay violence, ignoring legal dis- crimination, ignoring struggles for domestic ~rtnership or baSic civil rights, indeed studiously ignoring any news that vitally affects a full ten percent of the entire population, But let them detect what they perceive as scandal and, boom, suddenly we're front page news, deserving the covers of national magazines, besieged by reporters who want to uncover sGmdal of any kind as they "objectively" pursue the news~ The history of the mainstream press and A;rDS is well known, Not until Rock Hudson was afflicted and scientists . began to warn about the possibility of a spread into the "general population" did this dire national emergency become a big story, Other equally big stories in other arenas, such as the power of the gay and lesbian vote in the recent New York pri- mary, or calls for domestic partnership legislation, or the alarm- ing ~ in anti-gay violence, go unnoticed, But from the days of the notorious Newport Scandals in the twenties, up through the Boise witchhunts in the fifties, through the WalteJ' Jenkins scandal in the Johnson Administration, and continuing through the latest lies about Tom Foley or tragedies of people like Barney Frank, the straight press is right there, ready to whip up front page headlines like omelettes in their quest for "truth," We at autWeek recently experienced the reality of this when an innaccurate, inflammatory story about us appeared in the New York Past. Sensing blood, the mainstream press deluged us with calls, Everyone from the Nattonal Enqutrer to Ttme Magazine was suddenly interested in the new phenomenon of "outing," a word we had never heard of before, which apparent- ly refers to "dragging people out of the closet" according to an earnest reporter from Ttme. It seems the press, never interested in homeless people with AIDS or the lack of funding for drug trials or treatment, or the rights of domestic partners, suddenly couldn't get enough of this imaginary phenomenon, The point is that despite all of our hard-won advances, for most people in the mainstream press we're still just a dirty little scandal, not worth a mention unless we're "caught in the act", or thought to be at odds with ourselves, In a remarkably ironic story about Barney Frank in a recent Newsweek, Robert ~ray of the Human Rights Campaign Fund is quoted as saying, "If we win a court victory I can't get anyone interested. But if some- body gets in trouble, it's front page news." In that very issue of Newsweek, Barney Frank was on the cover. Newsweek printed Bray's remarks without commenting on the irony. Maybe they didn't even notice it. ... 4 OUTTWEEK October 15. 1989 • IF YOU EARN IT, WHY NOT KEEPIT - All 100% OF IT?

Now all the proposed ordi- nance needs is the approval of City Councilmen. The ordinance basically lim- its the location of off street parking facilities to the same plot or parcel of land they are intended to serve, with a few exceptions. Exceptions must be okayed by the board following a public hearing. It also places restrictions on the appearance of the parking lot and access routes to the lots. For example the ordinance reads that in no case shall single fam'ly residentially zon- ed property be used for drive- ways for access to the park- ing area. A protective wall also must be provided to hide the parking area from view, and all parking Workmen set aside their hard hats as the city started it's areas must be provided with long-weekend observance of Labor Day. landscaped yards subject to the approval of community appear- m ance board.

  • LGBTQ Organizations Unite in Calling for Transformational Change in Policing
    LGBTQ Organizations Unite in Calling for Transformational Change in Policing Black people have been killed, Black people are dying at the hands of police, our country is in crisis, and we all need to take action. We cannot sit on the sidelines, we cannot acquiesce, and we cannot assign responsibility to others. We, as leaders in the LGBTQ movement, must rise up and call for structural change, for divestment of police resources and reinvestment in communities, and for long-term transformational change. Now is the time to take action, and this letter amplifies our strong calls for urgent and immediate action to be taken. Ongoing police brutality and systemic racism have plagued this nation for generations and have been captured on video and laid bare to the public in the United States and around the world. In 2019, more than 1,000 people were killed at the hands of the police.1 We mourn the unacceptable and untimely deaths of Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Philando Castile, Eric Garner, Stephon Clark, Freddie Gray, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Mya Hall, Tony McDade, Rayshard Brooks, and many more who were gone too soon. We have seen with increased frequency the shocking video footage of police brutality. Officers have been recorded instigating violence, screaming obscenities, dragging individuals out of cars, using unnecessary force, holding individuals at gunpoint, and kneeling on peoples’ necks to the desperate plea of “I can’t breathe.” These occurrences are stark reminders of a police system that needs structural changes, deconstruction, and transformation. No one should fear for their lives when they are pulled over by the police.
