Hotsnot (Conrad) 88 Photo:J,L litt Crossword (Groco) ~ Dinkins or Disaster It's difficult to imagine lesbian and gay New Yorkers having a clearer choice for mayor than David Dinkins or Rudolph Giuliani. It's also difficult to imagine a moment in New York history more critical to our well-being than now, as the AIDS crisis swells to full intensity and the very survival of much of our world is at stake. Without question, and with full confidence in the ability of government to make a difference, gays and lesbians should vote for David Dinkins next Tuesday. Cynics might make the case for Dinkins simply by enumerating the flaws of Giuliani. He is ignorant about AIDS issues. He is ignorant about lesbian and gay issues. He dislikes and distrusts the gay cOmmu- nity. He supports none of the major items on our agenda. He's against domestic partnership. He has no open gays or lesbians on his staff. He would abolish the Mayor's Office for Lesbians and Gays. He represents the conservative status quo that traditionally opposes gay rights, women's rights and compassion in SOCiety.lie has given every indication of being an entrenched, inflexible homophobe. He would be a nightmare as mayor . .But thankfully we have no need merely to vote against somebody. This election we have someone to vote for. With the possible exception of Ruth Messinger, there is no major player in New York politics who has been so consistently in favor of gay !Uld lesbian rights, over a longer period, with as much enthusiasm and ~enuine empathy, and as effectively, as David Dinkins. ~As Manhattan Borough President he fought for our interests across a bfad spectrum of issues: AIDS funding, AIDS treatment, the lesbian andtgay rights bill, bereavement leave, Community Center funding, anti- bias~legislation, lesbian and gay pride and history proclamations, abor- tioriJ rights, gay and lesbian education curriculum in the schools, domestic partnership, and on and on and on. Perhaps most importantly, for y,ears he has appointed an unpreceedented number of gays and les- b~ to important positions on his staff, including high visibility jobs like budget director and press secretary, and has then listened to and learhed from them. And he hasn't been afraid to spend money and twist ar~ in an effort to get the gay agenda through. Unlike Mayor Koch, whci sounded fme on gay issues until it was time to push for them or, God forbid, pay for them, Dinkins has been willing to. put his power and his money where his mouth is. He has been as effective an advocate for our rights and our issues as we could hope for in the real world. Some readers have remained wary since Dinkins failed to mention gays' or AIDS early in his primary night victory speech. They shouldn't worry. Dinkins mentions gay and AIDS issues constantly, in forums and before audiences where such mention would be least expected, or might even be expected to lose him votes .. His slip on primary night was a human mistake from a human candidate. He has not repeated it since. And everything he has done since has reaffirmed that he's willing to go the extra mile to do the right thing for gays.' As the polls have tightened, the power and importance of the lesbian and gay vote has increased. Without our wholehearted support it now seems that Dinkins could lose the election. We would be the certain losers as well. He has stood up for gay liberation in an uncompro- mising way, and in so doing has earned our complete confidence and our support. We urge you to vote for him next Tuesday. T

In a way, it is almost miraculous--the most reviled, misrep- resented and misunderstood of a society actually become expressions of that which is the most exquisite, the most complex and the most genuine of the human experience. However, the mainstream media establishment has not been a reliable source for the pictures being created by those of us in the AIDS community, and thus, alternative venues and experimental artistic forms are often surprising and deeply resonant places for us to see something that looks like us. Film especially serves as both a mirror and a window reflecting those things we already know and revealing those things, we are often afraid to look at. AIDS, a disease of the body and the body politic, a disease which is supposed to intensify nothing but our historic fear and loathing about our physical selves, is a peculiarly challenging subject for the filmmaker and bit by bit filmmakers seem to be ris- ing to that challenge, though not always in predictable ways. Tania Cypriano's film VIVA EU! (Long Live Met) is a bold and complex short film exemplifying why film is so enduring a medium for the tnost difficult and the most subtle of emotions.

Thus the irony of Probe & Push's placing their work side by side in this exhibit. Serrano's Cibachrome print "Red River Y" is indicative of his work's versatility and power. In Mappelthorpe's untitled mixed media construction with lamp from 1970, one peeks into organized religion's very deepest and darkest corners. Can the covered eyes of Jesus in the botanica figurine and in the painting covered to opaqueness speak to its silence and inaccessibility?

MICHAELMUSTO, coi ..mnlst, critic, author, movie star and visually stunning fixture of New York's "In," has just released his first novel. Manhattan On The Rocks Is a 298 page romp through the dark side of the scene, a testicular triumph of gossip and yeast Infection. Musto, whose column La Dolce Musto appears weekly In the VIllage Yolce, has become the late night survival guide for the wanna be's, the gonna be's and the I am's of New York's other side of midnight. He spends most of his time "stewing In bitterness" and says he "regrets everything, " which we know Is just another dirty little lie. He told us he's become an avid fan of MartUcaand of Delta Burke, "who's fighting a career battle with food. I feel for her. I wish I were a bon-bon and she could devour me." With the faint sound of "Summer Breezc" blaring In the background and with Shake and Bake In one hand and drink tickets In the other, one can visualize Musto glamourously propped up against the "latest," crooning a favorite line from role-model MartUca:"...won't you come out and play with me..." We have no choice, dear.
