Buckley, Jr. Mrs. Bl!ckley is the wife of one of the nation's chief homo- phobes, a man who has publicly called for the tatooing and inqu-ceration of PWAs and who rants and rails in the press a~ut AIDS being a "self-inflicted" disease. Mrs. Buckley rdhses to disagree with her husband's position, responding with a regal "no comment" to questions abouttatooing peo- pl~ with AIDS. In a bre~thtaking display of hypocrisy, she th~n lends her efforts and her famous Republican name to AIJl:>scharityevents. t~Revson argued that this is all right, that AIDS charities ne the money, and that in such a situation a wife is not re· nsible for distancing herself from her husband's dead- ly,~ ositions. We disagree. ~ The supreme enemies of gays and lesbians are those riglttwing forces who enforce homophobia in our culture. Always a depressing reality, they became a deadly night- rn\te when AIDS struck, and there is no price tag on the mi$ery they have caused. ~~It may be hard to remember, but there was a time in the recent past when the majority of us were not infected, when timely education could have prevented most of the AIDS nightmare. Instead, the Buckleys of the world avidly enforced a media blackout of AIDS. Then, after that had suc- cetlded, they began floating proposals like concentration camps and tatooing. These people are venal. They are to our community as the Nazis were to the Jews. The idea that we're so desper- ate for money that we should accept it from anyone, even our executioners, is ghoulish indeed. " Revson's comment that Mrs. Buckley somehow can't publicly disagree with her husband is' nonsense. If she real- ly wished to do something about AIDS she most certainly would disagree with him, often and loudly. In so doing she could take a lesson from her friend Barbara Bush, who publicly disagrees with ber husband the president on gun control. Wives are autonomous and have a right to disagree with thei(.spouses, even Republican wives, and they often do. The fact that Mrs. Buckley imperiously refuses indicates that she probably agrees with her husband's ugly views. Such complicity in extreme homophobia disqualifies her from using AIDS charity work to boost her social standing. It's extremely sad when AIDS or gay organizations feel they must accept money from our avowed enemies, be they Coors Beer, the Roman Catholic Church or Pat Buckley. We should not allow homophobes who are killing us to con- fuse the issue by buying us off. We have enough genuine friends that we don't need to cringe for blood money.

Rosemary Mulligan has shown that she isn’t afraid of going against the grain. In 1992, Mulligan first made waves when she defeated Penny Pullen, an ultraconservative, Susan anti-gay Republican incumbent of the 65th Dis- trict, which covers the Northwest suburbs such page 17 Sarandon as Des Plaines and Park Ridge. Back then, Mulli- gan challenged her own party, and has been ad- vocating for change within her party ever since. Mulligan, an LGBT ally and supporter of a wom- an’s right to choose, doesn’t fit the Republican stereotype. She was one of the first Republican sponsors of former Rep. Larry McKeon’s amend- ment to the Illinois Human Rights Act to include sexual orientation and gender identity. She also helped double the state’s AIDS budget back in 1995.

    Café Wha?/The Players Theatre 115 Macdougal, between Bleecker and W 3rd, New York, NY -Minetta Lane 6 - 8 “Since the 1950s the Café Wha? has been a favorite hot spot cornered in the heart of Greenwich Village. The 60s was an impressionable and revolutionary era. Artists of the time frequented the Café Wha? as it was known to be a sanctuary for talent; Allen Ginsberg regularly sipped his cocktails here. The Café Wha? was the original stomping ground for prodigies Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix. Bruce Springsteen, Peter, Paul & Mary, Kool and the Gang, as well as comedians, Richard Pryor and Bill Cosby also began their road to stardom on this historic stage. The Café Wha? encompassed the Beat Generation and continues to hold tight to its spirit, entertaining all walks of life. Today, the Café Wha? showcases amazing talent with the three greatest house bands in New York City. Monday nights feature Brazooka, a completely authentic Brazilian dance band sprinkled with Jazz and Samba. Disfunktiontakes on Tuesdays with soul music, radiating the roots of R&B and Funk. What about the Café Wha? House Band? Wednesday thru Sunday they will satisfy your every need for sound, hitting on all styles of music; Motown, Reggae, R&B, and Classic/ Alternative/ Modern rock. Every night at the Café Wha? is a party. You never know which famous musician will show up and sit in with one of these incredible bands. The New York Times raves, “Power house talent - you'd be hard-pressed to find a more exhilarating evening out." The Café Wha? is a stop you have to make whether you are living or just visiting New York City.” “Built in 1907 and converted into a theatre in the late 1940's, the Players Theatre has been a jewel in the midst of beautiful Greenwich Village, serving as a magnet for performing artists and their audiences.
