ragedy struck John Fama of Wilton Manors last week as he was walking his 14-month-old Maltese Yorkie mix around the block. Fama said a man asked his dog’s name and then bent over to pet him. Suddenly the man snatched his dog up and ran away. “I was pulled to the ground by the leash,” he said. “All that I was left with was the leash and dog collar.” He described the perpetrator as a husky black male about six-feet tall. “I’m just devastated,” Fama said as he choked up on the phone telling his story to SFGN. “I can’t get what happened out of my head. I just want my dog found and brought back to me. Words can’t describe how much I miss him.” The snatching took place on Northeast 22th Street in Wilton Manors. !

GBTQ Nation is reporting this week that Mitchell Reich, a second year Harvard law student in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has been elected the first openly gay president of the Harvard Law Review, a journal of legal scholarship published by an independent student group at Harvard Law School. Reich, a Yale College and Dalton School graduate and Manhattan native, is the 125th president of the publication. The Harvard Crimson reports Reich says that being gay is a non-issue for the Harvard Law Review community, but that he recognizes the significance of the election. He says that while he was in high school, before coming out of the closet, he found it hard to picture achieving his dreams and be gay at the same time. Reich’s older brother, Ryan, said that while his brother is certainly an advocate for gay rights, his sexual orientation is “not

a cause” for the second year law student. “He does certainly have a certain affinity for gay rights issues,” said Ryan Reich. “But I think, first, that this is part of a larger affinity for liberal thought.” As president, Reich will serve as editor-inchief – overseeing the publication of both in-house and scholarly articles in the review. The Harvard Law Review published its first issue on April 15, 1887, and is the oldest operating student-edited law review in the United States. President Barack Obama served as the first African American President of the Review in 1990.

are Resource has received $40,000 from the Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF); one of only 33 awards presented by EJAF in their current grant cycle. This is the third year that EJAF has funded Care Resource’s Youth Health Intervention Project (YHIP) in Broward County which contributes to the reduction of new HIV infections among young men who have sex with men (MSM) and increases enrollment of HIV positive and high-risk negative MSM in appropriate medical care, treatment and other support services. The Project uses focused outreach providing culturally competent prevention messages; offering HIV counseling and testing with referral to medical care and support services for high-risk negatives and 100% of individuals testing positive for HIV. The goal is to reach 1,000 at-risk MSM within the next year. “Care Resource is honored to be funded again by EJAF. This award recognizes the significant work that the agency has undertaken in the area of testing and reinforces

the agency’s commitment to providing testing resources for the MSM population in Broward County,” stated Rick Siclari, Chief Executive Officer of Care Resource. Care Resource will target men who have sex with men (MSM) in Broward County, Florida between the ages of 17 and 39. The target population will include MSM in all racial and ethnic categories. The agency will provide outreach and counseling, testing and linkage services at numerous locations in Broward County. The county ranks second among Florida’s counties in the incidence of new HIV and AIDS cases within the MSM population. In South Florida, according to Florida Department of Health statistics, MSM represent the highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS cases with 38.3% in Broward County. The Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF) was established in the United States in 1992

by Sir Elton John. EJAF’s U.S. office is located in New York City. In 1993, Sir Elton also established the Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF-UK) in the United Kingdom, headquartered in London. These two organizations function as separate entities with their own distinct grant-making portfolios, but both pursue similar missions – to support innovative HIV prevention programs, efforts to eliminate stigma and discrimination associated with HIV/AIDS, and direct care and support services for people living

with HIV/AIDS. Collectively, the two organizations have raised over $150 million since inception in support of projects in 55 countries around the world, including significant funding dedicated to programs in their respective home countries. CARE RESOURCE is a 501[c](3) non-profit, multi-cultural, community based AIDS service organization, now South Florida’s oldest and largest HIV/AIDS service organization.

reedom to Marry, a national organization that fights for LGBT marriage rights, launched a $10 million national campaign to increase the majority of American’s that believe gays and lesbians should have the right to marry. According to an AP and CNN poll conducted last year 52 percent of Americans believe gays and lesbians should have the right to marry. Freedom to Marry is hoping to increase that majority in between election cycles. Rather than focus on a particular state’s referendum the campaign is aimed at trying to change people’s hearts all across the nation. Evan Wolfson, Founder and President, said this campaign is the first national right to marry campaign. They plan on featuring real life same-sex couples on their website and television ads. Thalia Zepatos, Director of Public Engagement, said 20 percent of American’s are still undecided and this campaign’s goal is to change their hearts and minds. “There is 20 percent of the general public

that are fair minded people that don’t want to discriminate,” she said. “And there’s one common question they ask ‘Why do they have to have the word marriage?’” She went on to explain that talking about the rights and equality that marriage offers doesn’t really answer that particular question. Instead focusing on the stories of committed same-sex couples works much better at winning those people over. “When couples share their stories these people’s comfort level skyrockets,” she said. “We have to show that marriage matters to gay people just as it does to everyone else. “ Zepatos also added that when these people are asked whether or not the country or state should be able to tell them who they can or cannot marry, the answer is always “no.” The campaign launched on Valentine’s Day with ads airing during primetime on CNN.

!"&%3#&7&%-:'7FF%"8%# Almost all courts that have heard challenges by one state to another state’s adoption decrees, however, have ruled that adoptions by same-sex parents are entitled to full faith and credit under the U.S. Constitution. These include the 10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, which in 2007 struck down an Oklahoma law that banned recognition of adoptions secured by same-sex parents in other states; a Florida Court of Appeal that in 2009 said Florida must recognize a second parent adoption granted in Washington state; and the Nebraska Supreme Court, which in 2002 said Nebraska must recognize a second-parent adoption granted in Pennsylvania. Neither Florida nor Nebraska would have granted the adoptions under its own laws. Still unsettled, however, is Adar v. Smith, in which the state of Louisiana claims it does not have to grant a new birth certificate to a Louisiana-born child

adopted by a gay couple in New York, because Louisiana does not allow joint adoptions by unmarried couples. In February 2010, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Louisiana must issue the birth certificate. The state has appealed the panel ruling to the full court, which heard arguments January 19. Mathew Staver, founder of the conservative Liberty Counsel, has said cases such as Adar provide a “back door” to marriage equality. “If a sister state is required to recognize same-sex adoption,” he said in a statement about the case in 2009, “even though it doesn’t recognize it within the state, that is essentially a component that is a significant, central aspect of marriage.” Brightening the outlook for same-sex parents is the January 5 Connecticut Supreme Court decision in Raftopol v. Ramey that a gay male couple are both legal parents to the twins they had via a gestational surrogate—one who is not genetically related to the children. That judgment should be given full faith and credit in other states, Polikoff said—but noted such a ruling has not yet faced a challenge.

he firestorm over the story last week that the Agenda editors have quit because of censorship by their secretive board of directors is worth addressing in an editorial today. If you want to have a legitimate and credentialed newspaper, you have to report all the news, wounds and warts, letting the chips fall where they may. You can always replace an advertiser. You can’t replace the truth. Last year, one of our advertisers, Johnny’s Nightclub, was raided. We reported it on our front page. When two gay men were murdered in their home in Wilton Manors on Christmas Eve, we wrote about it because it was news. And when five gay men were murdered in a short time last year, we wrote about it also. You don’t get to choose the news. You choose only whether to be honest about it. Last year, when another one of our advertisers, the Manor Entertainment Complex, was targeted by Wilton Manors zoning, we editorialized against unjust city enforcement. The Agenda wrote about it too. Last year, when a prominent gay businessman was arrested, the Agenda wrote about it too. That is because after the collapse of the South Florida Blade, the Agenda was attempting to become a serious newspaper, trying to restore people’s faith in local gay journalism. To their credit, when their paper was falling apart this summer, they went out and hired someone who got his start working for me when I published the Express Gay News. His name is Jeremy Jones, and he is a solid journalist. So is his partner, Dmitry Rashnitsov. Before he took a full time job in the not for profit sector, he was the Agenda’s editor in chief. He came upon a story about cell phone thefts in a local nightclub, and sought to alert the LGBT community to the dangers. It came to him in an unfortunate way. His phone had been stolen. Somewhere between the time these two gentlemen thought to write the story and the time it made the printed page of the Agenda, their board of directors or Bobby

Blair or Kevin Hopper got together and killed an honest and legitimate news story that you were entitled to read. By doing this, they did a disservice to you, the LGBT community, and their paper; no ifs, ands or buts about it. It does not matter what excuse any of these bosses come up with. They ran into a principled reporter and his partner who would not back down. They gave up their jobs instead. They had a story to tell, and the Agenda would not let them tell it. If you can call that anything but transparent cen-

sorship, let me know. It does not aid the Agenda’s cause that the story was going to reference a nightclub which is one of their chief advertisers. It appears they were unnecessarily protecting them. Why? What for? The problems of the Living Room are not unique. All nightclubs have issues of various sorts. It is the nature of their business, dispensing alcohol to consumers who are partying and sometimes too much so. The problems come from noise, music, booze, overcrowding and everything else associated with an alcoholic beverage establishment. Sometimes, these events become newsworthy. When the W Hotel on the Fort Lauderdale Beach was prosecuted for noise violations, it made the Sun-Sentinel. They advertise there, but so what? Your job as a newspaper is to report the facts, not cover them up. By intercepting a legitimate story, the Agenda sold out. It censored a news story

which sought to alert the LGBT community of a situation you were entitled to read about. In doing so, they lost two loyal and faithful journalists. We wish their new editor well in taking on his new tasks. But publishing a real newspaper is not about hugs and kisses and Valentines. It is not about promoting muscle beach parties or beer-indulging weekends with pages of free ads in exchange for complimentary tickets. It is about owning up to our community’s successes and failures, our honors and our humiliations. It is standing up for and protecting that community when it could be harmed by the wrongful conduct of others. This newspaper, SFGN, is a member of the Florida Press Association, the Associated Press, and the National Gay and Lesbian Journalists Association. We compete for national journalism awards and have had bestowed upon us this year recognition for a media award from our gay and lesbian community center. There are standards we must meet and which we will never fail to honor. No advertiser is worth the price of principle. No one can pirate SFGN’s commitment to report the news faithfully and honestly, with diversity and dignity, representing multiple opinions and a community of thought. Given limited real estate on the printed page, it is sometimes extraordinarily difficult to select the pieces which make the paper and those which fall to the cutting room floor. But know this about us – any decision ever made here will be with the best interests of our LGBT community at heart, and not the pecuniary interests of any person or business in this town – period, end of story.

K*15-F=L,-N=L5d N9-)=,6-7;+,D5-8[=E[+D= You can blow out a candle But you can’t blow out a fire The flames begin to catch The wind will blow it higher – From “Biko” by Peter Gabriel

ne of the sparks that ultimately led to the end of Apartheid was ignited in 1977 by the brutal death of one of South Africa’s most significant political activists and a leading founder of the Black Consciousness Movement. His name was Steven Biko. While living, his writings and activism attempted to empower black people. He was famous for his slogan “Black is Beautiful”, which he described as meaning: “Man, you are okay as you are, begin to look upon yourself as a human being.” Biko and the BCM played a significant role in organizing the protests which culminated in the Soweto Uprising of 1976. On August 21, 1977, he was detained by the Eastern Cape security police and held under Apartheid era anti-terrorism legislation. The records say that on September 7 “Biko sustained a head injury during interrogation, after which he acted strangely and was uncooperative. The doctors who examined him (naked, lying on a mat and manacled to a metal grille) initially disregarded overt signs of neurological injury.” By September 11 Biko had slipped into a continual, semi-conscious state and the prison’s physician recommended a transfer to the local hospital. Biko was, instead, transported 1,200 km to Pretoria – a 12-hour journey which he made lying naked in the back of a Land Rover. A few hours later, alone and still naked, on the floor of a cell in the Pretoria Central Prison, Biko died from brain damage. His death in police detention led to his being hailed as a martyr of the antiApartheid struggle. Today, once again on the African Continent, we are powerless witnesses to the killing of another hero fighting a different kind of apartheid – homophobia. News of the barbaric murder of Ugandan human rights activist David Kato has made head-

lines around the world. Kato was beaten to death outside his home on January 26 shortly after winning a lawsuit against a magazine which had published his name and photograph identifying him as gay and calling for him to be executed. For several months he had been the target of a hate-

/#"-/%9#+'

campaign mounted by a local newspaper, The Rolling Stone. He had spent much of his life courageously helping those persecuted because of their sexual orientation often repeating his mantra: “Determined to struggle till a yard done to the journey of liberating the LGBTI community from the discrimination and oppressional laws in the name of sodomy!” Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have both called for an indepth and impartial investigation into the case, and protection for gay activists. In the meantime James Buturo, the Ugandan Minister of State for Ethics and Integrity, is on record as having declared that “Homosexuals can forget about human rights.” “David’s death is a result of the hatred planted in Uganda by U.S Evangelicals in 2009,”

Val Kalende, the woman who heads “Freedom and Roam Uganda,” a gay rights group, said in a statement. “The Ugandan Government and the so-called U.S Evangelicals must take responsibility for David’s blood.” Africa’s gays are caught in the ideological battle waged in the U.S. by conservative Christian preachers who, through their extensive African communications networks, warn of the dangers posed by homosexuals and present themselves as the true stewards of U.S. evangelicalism. They feel most of the Western world has discarded their anti-gay rhetoric and are therefore seeking fertile new soil to spread their crusades of hate and in the process fill their coffers.

The gay activist group Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG) issued a statement calling “on religious leaders, political leaders and the media to stop demonizing sexual minorities since doing so creates a climate of violence against gay persons.” In 1977 the brutal circumstances of Biko’s death caused a worldwide outcry. He became the face and symbol of black resistance to the oppressive Apartheid regime. As a result, the United Nations Security Council responded by finally imposing an embargo against South Africa followed by trade, sports and cultural boycotts from the rest of the civilized world. If history, as they say, repeats itself, we can only hope that a similar outpouring of solidarity and support for gays in Uganda, and around the globe, comes out of this

senseless tragedy. Perhaps Kato’s death, like Biko’s, will not be in vain but will become a catalyst and a turning point. In the United States the shock and grief of the Arizona massacre led to the catharsis of a national communal memorial service and a much needed degree of self-examination. Uganda may have further to go but signs of a mild thaw are already appearing. An editorial in last week’s Daily Monitor of Kampala, Uganda’s largest and most influential independent newspaper called for an “honest national dialogue” about homosexuality and said gay Ugandans “enjoy the same rights and protections of the law as heterosexuals. We cannot send them into exile neither, lock them away, or hang them.” Too little too late, but a step in the right direction. In Washington, President Obama released a statement praising Kato’s courage and condemning the fact that “At home and around the world, LGBT persons continue to be subjected to unconscionable bullying, discrimination, and hate.” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Kato’s killing “is a reminder of the heroic generosity of the people who advocate for and defend human rights on behalf of the rest of us – and the sacrifices they make.” Margaret Mead once said: “never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world. For, indeed, that’s all who ever have”. Emirembe, Steven and David, siyabonga.R.I.P. Steven and David, thank you.

n the first days of the demonstrations in Egypt, almost everyone I know was glued to their television. Many of them were caught up in what they saw as the romanticism of the moment: students and young people in the streets, willing to risk their lives to stand up to a tyrannical regime and replace it with a democracy. Irresistible. Television anchors jumped on planes to report from the middle of the demonstrations. Commentators waxed eloquently about the power of new technology and social media to bring freedom and democracy to countries long under the thumb of tyrannical rulers. What could be more exciting or, for that matter, more American? As it turns out, a lot of things. The anchors who went came back almost as fast – revolutions are dangerous. Anderson Cooper was not a hero among the masses. Maybe they didn’t know who he was, although a guy surrounded by cameras and film equipment who appears on international television every day is not that hard to recognize. Maybe, more likely, they didn’t care. This is not the American Revolution broadcasting from Cairo. It is true, of course, that Egypt is not a democracy. It is true that Hosni Mubarak has

held power for three decades. It is certainly true that during that period many Egyptians have called -- without success – for greater freedom, free elections, free press and an open democracy. But most of those people are not on the streets. “It’s the economy, stupid,” the smartest observers keep pointing out. People are on the streets in Cairo and not Beijing because, first and foremost, Egypt’s economy has grown much slower than its population, while China’s is the exact opposite. The streets in Cairo are not necessarily filled with well-educated ideologues but with frustrated job-seekers, young people who have found not opportunity but closed doors in their home country. The rallying cry is “Replace Mubarak.” But the motivation is as much economic as it is political. And equally if not more troubling, to the extent that it is political, it is not about emulating the West, but rejecting it. The voices from the street are not just saying that Mubarak has been in power too long, or even that he has failed to pursue policies leading to greater economic growth. They are saying he has been too supportive of the West, too close to the United States and, even more importantly, too close to, too supportive of and too engaged with Israel.

They are saying that one of the best and most courageous things Mubarak has done – despite some difficult periods, he maintained relations with Israel and recognized its existence – is reason enough for his downfall. I have a hard time finding anything romantic about that. Many young people today don’t remember the days of “realpolitik” -- the idea, popular during the Cold War, that America’s foreign policy should be based on our national interest and not on ideology, meaning we supported dictators who liked us without regard to how they treated their people. The downfall of the policy, depending on your politics, was either our victory in the Cold War (which might have proved that it worked) or the repeated downfall of the dictators we supported (which might have proved that it didn’t). If you’re giving

a speech at a convention, it always sounds better to say that our foreign policy must be based on our values; that our goal should be to support freedom and democracy, even if that results in leaders we like less. It sounds very good. But in a dangerous world, what sounds good is not always what will work well, what will protect our country and our allies and our children. I am rooting for Egypt. I’m rooting for it to find a way out of these troubles, to restore the economic growth whose absence fuels such anger, to find a path to greater individual freedom and participatory democracy. But I am also rooting for us, and for our friends in Israel, that Egypt’s path will not bring greater instability and danger to our world. Revolution is not a romantic adventure. It’s a rather terrifying thriller with no guarantee of a happy ending. !

t is certainly interesting to watch Barack Obama’s rightward lurch to the center these days compared to his 2008 “Change We Can Believe In” campaign. As a candidate, he provided us with soaring rhetoric and blistering critiques of the Bush tax cuts and the Global War on Terror. According to exit polls, 65-70 percent of Gays voted for the man, although roughly one-inthree Gays chose the lackluster John McCain. Obama promised to end the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, close down the Guantanamo Bay Prison and terminate the Patriot Act. Our liberal progressive community cheered wildly. He also took on Wall Street as greedy and corrupt, despite taking three times more Wall Street campaign money than John McCain. And he certainly assured us, relentlessly, that anybody making more than $250,000 a year would have their taxes raised. He promised huge and monumental changes. What a difference two years makes! He squandered his super majority in both congressinal chambers and in two years spent more money than Bush did for the entire Iraq War. In a televised Chamber of Commerce speech this week, Boy Obama abandons and rebukes the American Left. He robustly

endorses American capitalism and a GOP pro-corporation, Wall Street agenda, including reductions in the corporate tax rate, regulations and entitlements. He articulated so many ideas (conspicuously lifted from the GOP platform and rightwing think tanks) that he sounded like an echo of Newt Gingrich. No surprise, Obama’s new theme for the next two years and his reelection is “Winning the Future”, the exact title of the former Republican Speaker’s book. This follows last month’s decision by the “Change” President to extend all the Bush tax cuts for two years, only to have them expire in time for his re-election campaign. How timely! Will he then again use the issue to disingenuously rally his liberal base and the GLBT community once again? After all, hasn’t he turned his Oval Office over to corporate America’s Fortune 500 CEOs right in front of our eyes? His new Chief of Staff will be Bill Dailey of ATT and the former Clinton Commerce Secretary. Remember when the Clinton Administration hijacked the Gingrich Agenda and did more to complete Ronald Reagan’s agenda of Free Trade Acts, balanced budgets, lower capital gains taxes and not launching any new spending programs? Clinton was more of a Republican than his predecessor, George H. W. Bush.

Obama’s new Chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisors is the CEO from Goldman Sachs, and the new Chair of the White House Job Creation Council is from General Electric. Meanwhile, he promises to sign at least three GOP Free Trade Acts with South Korea, Panama, and Columbia to allow US corporations to invest in cheaper overseas labor with more to be signed in the Asian region. As far as Iraq and Afghanistan go, Obama is running those wars on Bush’s terms and Bush’s timetables. No change there, just a continuation of Bush’s time-lines for withdrawal. He even calls Army Private Bradley Manning, who helped Wikileaks expose alleged US atrocities, “a danger to America”. Guantanamo Bay Prison will never be closed, and even Dick Cheney expressed approval of Obama’s deference to existing Bush policies. Soon the Patriot Act will be renewed with only pretencious cosmetic changes. None of this is insignificant. After all, Obama’s Press Secretary told us that Obama read a Reagan biography during the Christmas holidays, just before he made the deal to extend the Bush tax cuts. And he hired Reagan’s last Chief of Staff, Ken Duberstien, as a liaison to the new Republican House. And don’t think

Is this what the gay community was anticipating? This is not the change the Obama majority in the GLBT community voted for. The Obama transformation makes it look like the 2008 candidate was dressed in political drag, mouthing speeches that titillated his chanting, adoring audiences; only to go back stage, disrobe, and come out on FOX News before the largest-ever Super Bowl audience and say that he has always lowered taxes – and thinks that Bill O’Reilly and his crew are good for America.

them on to more aggression. Occasionally, the observers get so caught up in the action that they even get drawn into it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turned out to be a highly contagious atmosphere, and journalists themselves have become infected with some of the more severe cases of what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m calling blogoitis. One of the more spectacular blog slugouts Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen occurred between two big-city highprofile columnists from competing publications. The gentlemen, with whom Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m both acquainted in a casual sort of way, let loose on each other like it was World War III and the plan was forÂ no one to be left standing. The funny part about it was that both writers are pretty laid back individuals, whom in person seem incapable of such hostility. And in gay publications nationwide there have been countless battles waged between readers and writers. I admit to succumbing

sometimes wonder if the blogosphere was designed for a class of people that enjoys animal fights over a good movie or a football game. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what the blogs of practically all publications often resemble today â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a dogfight between readers and journalists, readers and readers and even journalists and journalists. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something about the ability to instantly lash out at another person without having to look them in the eye that generates written warfare on blogsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; comments sections. The added benefit of being able to exchange written blows without the writers providing full names or even first names seems to make going to battle even more inviting. The blog spectacles draw crowds of invisible observers sitting in front of their monitors watching the warriors and cheering

to it myself in more than one category. Given that no one is actually getting physically bludgeoned, it might seem almost harmless if it were not for the resulting complications. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the laws of the universe. According to one of Newtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s laws of physics, â&#x20AC;&#x153;every action is accompanied by a reaction of equal magnitude but opposite direction.â&#x20AC;? In that regard, I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably seeing a chilling effect arising. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had journalists and readers tell me the experience of a blog fight had left them feeling bad for several days. If a journalist or a reader knows that their words will result in an immediate, symbolic public stoning, it could easily lead anyone to keep their opinions to themselves. Since the relevantly recent birth of the Internetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blogosphere, the phenomena of cyber bullying has also developed. One example of it is the presence of activist groups that maintain e-mail lists for the purpose of launching campaigns to flood blogs with complaints anytime something is written that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a few unpleasant, unforgettable experiences with that. I wrote a column last year that a group of activists didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like. One of the members of the group admitted to me that he had heard about the column over

dinner one night and immediately launched an e-mail campaign against me without even reading the column. He told me about it because after looking at my blog and seeing how supportive I had been of his group over the years, he actually read the column and then decided to call off the dogs. Unfortunately, the damage had already been done. It appeared that most of the people who sent complaining e-mails also hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read my column. In fact, they so distorted what I had written, that even I was becoming unsure of what I had actually said. In any event, criticism does come with the territory for anyone who steps into the public domain so none of this is meant to imply that criticism and debate shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take place. But it does seem like everyone, myself included, should think about what they are writing before a comment is posted on a blog and then strive to be respectful. Otherwise, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just too easy to write something that is unfair and could be regretted later.

ay porn studio and distributor Corbin Fisher is ready to crack down on possibly tens of thousands of gay porn thieves. “This company, like a lot of adult entertainment companies, is taking a pounding from online content theft,” said the General Counsel for Corbin Fisher, Marc Randazza. He said the company has 40,000 IP addresses of users who have illegally downloaded the studio’s material. Recently the company offered an amnesty deal for users that would exempt them from any lawsuits brought forth by the company. The deal consisted of a one-time fee of $1,000 and as a bonus they received a one-year subscription to their website. Only 20 people came forward to accept the deal. That amnesty deal has ended. Now Randazza says he is willing to offer a second amnesty deal to SFGN readers for a one-time payment of $1,900. Those that come forward this time though will not receive a one-year subscription to their website. Randazza said the company recently won a lawsuit against an illegal downloader that resulted in a $250,000 judgment in their favor. “One of our DVDs sold 600 units, and on one website alone, it had been downloaded 11,000 times. Something had to be done about it,” he said. Even so Randazza said his company

doesn’t want to sue these individuals and that’s why the company offered the amnesty. “We’re trying to be as fair as we can. That’s why we even initially offered a oneyear membership to our site,” he said. “We felt good to resolve it this way with those 20 individuals.” Randazza said their upcoming lawsuit will focus heavily on the South Florida area. “If I look at my chart South Florida has a pretty big red circle on it,” he said. Since word of the lawsuit has spread Randazza said the pirating has gone down and their subscriptions to their website have gone up. “I think the reaction, even from people stealing our materials, has been positive,” he said. “A subscription to our website is really not a lot of money. We have some of the highest quality gay content you can find.” Randazza then touted his company’s philanthropy and said they’re the largest donor to Equality Florida, the largest civil rights organization dedicated to securing full equality for Florida’s LGBT community. But he also noted: “you can’t be all that charitable when you’re being robbed blind.” Corbin Fisher has studios in Florida, Nevada and California. Randazza said the new amnesty deal will last two weeks. E-mail Amnesty@CorbinFisher.com for more information.

s I scanned the conference room of the Stonewall Library and Archives on February 2, at the investment and money management seminar given by RBC Wealth Management VP and Financial Consultant, Ellen Ford Krider, two of my suspicions were confirmed. The seminar would be attended exclusively by men of a certain age, and by men much savvier about their money – and consequently wealthier – than I. Given the excellent information shared by Krider, and some attendees, the disappointing absence of younger queers echoed Billie Holiday’s lyrical truth that “Them that got shall get” but if God is going to bless the child that’s got his own, that child had better learn a thing or two about directing his personal wealth. Something I never did. In assessing my own skills with money, I place myself on a rung half way between party boy and sugar daddy. It’s an awkward place and not one of my own choosing. I never planned my financial future. I rarely even glanced at monthly bank statements. In hindsight, my guiding principle seems to have been “Hate the dollar, love the diamond, settle for the cubic zirconium.” I ascribe my current life of leisure to career inertia. Having reluctantly accepted an entry-level position with a state agency, I spent 25 years focused on 1300 Friday nights until I retired as the CFO of that agency at the age of 55. Along the way, my husband and I bought and sold some houses that seemed to make more money than I ever did simply by not falling off their foundations. Our real estate

investment strategy was simple and stupid: “Let’s buy where we want to go to have fun. That way, even if the house loses its value, we can enjoy it just as much!” The one piece of financial advice we ever gave out – usually while stumbling home after a crazy night in Provincetown – was “no one ever got laid in the safety deposit box of a Swiss bank.” Countering my financial sloppiness was a lifelong dread of the poorhouse, which is curious, given a secure middle class upbringing in suburban Connecticut. This may be a genetic throwback to my Ellis Island Depression era grandparents who scrambled as janitors and takers-in of laundry and bootleggers and bricklayers until they bought the apartment buildings in which they had lived and toiled. Like them, I’ll choose a cheaper cut of meat well prepared at home over restaurant steak any day of the week. I’ll clean with a rag rather than paper towels. I detest valet parking, and yes, I’ll reuse your giftwrap and ribbons. My lifelong avoidance of recreational drugs is not rooted in moral or legal judgment, but in stubborn refusal to enrich some dance floor apothecary shyster of dubious pharmaceutical credentials. I do, however, love the idea of homegrown and long for the day when I can plant a legal and economical garden. It’s what my grandparents surely would have done. At Krider’s seminar, I kept quiet. After an hour, it became clear to me that my last ten years of financial negligence have placed me in no worse a position than are they who bought stocks and bonds and fretted over their rise and fall. Krider’s voice was seri-

ous when she said, “We have hopefully all learned a lesson about bubbles. Sooner or later, you’re in for a correction. Your investment strategy must be long term if it is going to make sense.” I perked up a bit at hearing this. My strategy – benevolent neglect of a checking account and its ancillary infertile savings account – has certainly been long term. Krider spoke of income tax law changes, predicting that two years from now we’ll be seeing higher taxes. When talking about the stock market, she noted that different parts of the market move in different directions at different times. Advisors who claim the ability to predict these movements are often wrong. The solution? Diversify. She spoke about mutual funds, and alternative options in which an investor might have more control. She outlined the stability and risks of municipal bonds, and had some valuable information about structuring charitable giving to personal advantage. She distributed a hand-out entitled “Special Considerations for Gay and Lesbian Couples” while deferring to Attorney Dean Trantalis, one of the attendees, as the

local expert in matters of legal protections and estate planning. I made a mental note to contact Trantalis about the foundations and funds he mentioned with special allocations supporting our LGBT community. Although my financial horse has not yet left its threadbare barn, I doubt I’ll change my careless ways because old habits die hard and I am still distracted by planning for Friday night, a dynamic complicated by the fact that in retirement every night is a Friday night. If I had it to do all over again, would I contact Ellen Krider to secure her assistance in wealth management? Would her intercession have meant more stately mansions for my lounging in? Probably. On the other hand, I write this while gazing at the ocean through the windows of my otherwise valuedepressed condo, a perfectly happy couponclipping pauper, living in best revenge with a priceless portfolio of Friday nights. If you are more sensible than I, you can reach her at ellen.krider@rbc.com.

Perhaps he thought that William Bennett assured Reagan that letting

homosexuals die was the right thing to do. Rock Hudson died in 1985, one of 5,700 that year. Reagan mentioned the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;AIDSâ&#x20AC;? for the first time in public. By 1986, Surgeon General Everett Koop published a report on AIDS, but the implementation of his recommendations was blocked by other Reagan officials. Reagan did nothing to intervene. He attends a ceremony at the Statue of Liberty and laughs at jokes about AIDS made by Bob Hope. By 1987, the US government began to suspect that the epidemic had to be taken seriously. American scientists took credit for research that the French had done years earlier. Today, the World Health Organization estimates that over 40 million people worldwide are living with the HIV virus. More than three million die of AIDS each year. By his negligence, Ronald Reagan is responsible for more deaths than Stalin. But the revisionists insist that Reagan was a good and decent man. They give him credit for AIDS research. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the first time that the Reaganauts give him credit for something he did not do. Mr. Reagan took credit for the release of the hostages in Iran, when in fact, it was the Carter Administra-

tion that struggled through the negotiations to get the release. They give Reagan credit for cutting taxes, when in fact income taxes did go down, but excise and social security taxes went up. What local governments lost from revenue sharing, they made up by raising local sales and property taxes. Mr. Reagan took credit for single-handedly causing the collapse of the Soviet Union. In fact, by the time he became president, it was a foregone conclusion that it would happen. It happened after decades of human rights work by people like Solzhenitsyn and millions of people who died for their freedom, an economic collapse of the state, and a system of satellite states which the Soviets could no longer sustain. Reaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claim of service in World War II is the most outrageous lie. After doing his military training by correspondence, Mr. Reagan pleaded nearsightedness to get out of active duty. He was allowed to stay in California to continue making movies, while brave men served and died overseas. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear when Reagan began wearing contacts. The most credible account indicates it was in 1947, just in time for him to be able to continued on next page
