'My Parents Had This Big Argument Over Whose Fault It Was, Why I Chose to BeThis Way.'
Interviewed by GREGORY BEYER
ZY-TASIA GAINES, Far Rockaway, Queens
High School for Law Enforcement and Public Safety
BORN July 1, 1990
I WAS born and raised in Brownsville, Brooklyn, and my mom raised me to beopen to everything: to all types of sexualities. But I guess she didn'texpect it would come out in me. She's like, "Be nice to everybody, but aslong as you're not a lesbian, that's cool." So when she found out I was alesbian, it was really difficult, and she didn't accept it at first. Shestill sort of doesn't, but she deals with it.
Mostly, people in Manhattan are really open to it. I go to a center on 13thStreet called the LGBT Center where they have lots of programs andactivities. I'm in a film class, and we're making films about differentexperiences we have being lesbian.
Mine is about how my girlfriend's parents are homophobic - really, reallyhomophobic. We've been together about a year. As the relationship gotstronger and stronger, the more protective her parents got, the more theytried to pull her away. In July, they sent her to live with her uncle inChicago. She tries to call me about twice a week to check up on things, butI haven't seen her since. I live in Far Rockaway, Queens, and my school isin Jamaica. When I came out in my school, in 10th grade, everybody waspushing me away.

Once Jobless With AIDS, She Now Helps Others
By JOSEPH P. FRIED
FOR two decades after being infected with the virus that causes AIDS,Barbara Cassis was able to remain active and move into a career in socialwork. But two years ago, her health declined sharply, and her doctor toldher that her infection had developed into full-blown AIDS.
Ms. Cassis, 45, a Bronx resident, said she became so sick that she had toleave her job as a coordinator of a life skills program for transgenderpeople who have AIDS or are at risk of contracting it. She had broughtempathy to the job, not only because she had lived with the humanimmunodeficiency virus. "I have been a person of transgender experience,"she said. "I was born a male and transitioned into a woman."
Unable to work, and living on welfare payments and other governmentassistance, she became severely depressed. "I isolated myself at home," Ms.Cassis said.
But five months ago, seeking to end her seclusion, she followed a friend'sadvice and went to Gay Men's Health Crisis, an organization based inManhattan that provides services and advocates for people with AIDS orH.I.V. The group's name aside, its services are available to people of anysexual orientation or gender, and it says that 30 percent of its clients areheterosexual and 20 percent are women.

Episcopal Church Faces Deadline on Gay Issues
By NEELA BANERJEE
Ever since the Episcopal Church consecrated an openly gay man as bishop ofNew Hampshire four years ago, forecasts of a rupture over homosexualitywithin the church or with the rest of the global Anglican Communionaccompanied each big church meeting, only to fade.
But as the bishops of the Episcopal Church approach their semiannual meetingthis week in New Orleans, the predictions are being taken very seriously.
At the top of the agenda for the Sept. 20-25 gathering will be a directiveissued by the leaders of the Anglican Communion to stop consecrating openlygay and lesbian bishops and to ban blessings of same-sex unions or risk adiminished status in the communion, the world's third-largest Christiandenomination.
The Most Rev. Rowan Williams, archbishop of Canterbury, who is the spiritualleader of the communion, will attend the meeting. It will be the first timeArchbishop Williams has met with the church's House of Bishops since the2003 consecration of the gay bishop, V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire.
The communion's directive asks for a response from the Episcopal Church bySept. 30.

Obsessions
Nude Awakening
By ALEX KUCZYNSKI
The first time I saw an International Male catalog was at the all-girlsVirginia boarding school I attended in the 1980s. The cool girls - the oneswho owned their own horses and got BMWs for their 16th birthdays, withcar-size bows on top - got the catalog in their mailboxes, along withsubscriptions to GQ. The uncool girls, if we were lucky, got to peer overtheir shoulders at pictures of male models in thong bikinis. I found thepresentation of male genitalia, packaged and posed and seemingly aroused,totally terrifying. Were they really that long and tuber-like? And were mensupposed to stare at you in such a brooding, animal way, their eyesglowering at siesta level, their mouths puckered in baby-doll O's?
One day in the smoking lounge, the coolest girl of all pulled the latestInternational Male catalog from her monogrammed L. L. Bean Boat and Tote bagand pointed at the practically nude lower half of a model, his abdomenrippled in reptilian plates, his prodigious reproductive organs - orwell-placed tube socks - barely restrained by purple Lycra. There is a dimmemory of a zipper.
"Imagine coming face to face with that," I asked the mentholated air. Thecoolest girl of all, exhaling smoke from a Merit Light, arched an eyebrow atus. Deep silence descended.

by The Associated Press
Posted: September 16, 2007 - 7:30 am ET
(North Charleston, South Carolina) Democratic presidential candidate HillaryRodham Clinton, unveiling her agenda to promote civil rights, told an NAACPbanquet Saturday that the "scales of justice are seriously out of balance"for black Americans.
"We have had an attorney general who doesn't respect the rule of law orenforce the civil rights laws on the books," she told about 900 people atthe annual Freedom Fund Banquet of the Charleston National Association forthe Advancement of Colored People.
She applauded the Friday decision by an appeals court in Louisiana tossingout the aggravated battery conviction that could have sent a black teenagerto prison for 15 years in last year's beating of a white classmate in theracially tense town of Jena.
The teenager, 16 at the time of the December beating of a white youth,should not have been tried as an adult, the appeals court ruled. He is oneof six black students charged in the attack and one of five originallycharged as adults with attempted second-degree murder.

Battle Shaping Up Over New Attorney General
by The Associated Press
Posted: September 16, 2007 - 7:30 am ET
(Washington) Conservatives on Saturday lined up for and against potentialattorney general nominee Michael Mukasey, the man they believe has ascendedto the top of President Bush's list of replacements for Alberto Gonzales.
Earlier in the week, Democrats in the Senate threatened to blockconfirmation of another prospect - Theodore Olson, a longtime GOP ally andformer solicitor general who represented Bush before the Supreme Court inthe contested 2000 presidential election.
The behind-the-scenes battle over who will succeed Gonzales heated up overthe weekend as the president, who was at Camp David, moved closer toannouncing his choice.
So far, the White House has stayed quiet about who will replace Gonzales. Anannouncement is expected this week, and some legal conservatives andRepublicans told The Associated Press that the White House appeared to besignaling that Mukasey was Bush's pick.
That prompted questions and praise for the former U.S. district judge fromNew York, who is an adviser to Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign.

Last year Rabbi David Basri, head of the Kabbalah's Magen David Yeshiva inJerusalem blamed gays for an outbreak of bird flu.
Basri said the outbreak was God's punishment for the promotion of same-sexmarriage.

The house is Rice and Bean's
The House is Rice and Bean's.
Are you done laughing? Because, while it certainly has its funny side, it'sreally just another example of the hypocrisy of another conservativepolitician.
Secretary of State Condi Rice and another woman, documentary filmmaker RandyBean, own a house together in Palo Alto, California. The story was firstreported by Michelangelo Signorile on his Sirius Satellite Network radioshow. You can find more details here: Secretary of State co-owns home withfemale filmmaker.
Rice and Bean (I admit it, i giggle every time write that) not only share ahome, but also a line of credit that has been used to renovate the property."We advise clients to be very cautious when purchasing a home. Homeownership records are public and may trigger an investigation under theDon't Ask, Don't Tell policy," Steve Ralls of the Servicemembers LegalDefense Network (SLDN) told me today. The policy prohibits out gays andlesbians from serving in the nation's armed forces.
"SLDN is aware of cases where servicemembers have been investigated forowning a home with a person of the same gender." Steve shared.
When I think of these men and women who have given so much for our nation itmakes me, at the same time want to scream and cry.
A recent investigation into the Don't Ask, Don't Tell case of PFCChristopher Mastromarino by PageOneQ found that reports of the militaryciting Mastramarino's living with his gay cousin and his cousin's partnerwere cited in the military's arguments.

US bill ignites skirmish over gay rights
September 15, 2007
MICHAEL Carney, a gay cop in Massachusetts, figures there's one reason hegot his job back: The state makes it illegal to discriminate againstemployees because of sexual orientation.
But in 31 states, employees have no such legal protection. Carney, who lefthis job when he was struggling as a closeted gay and then was reinstatedafter a long legal battle, hopes that will change.
He's urging Congress to pass a federal law called the EmploymentNon-Discrimination Act, or ENDA, which would put bias involving sexualorientation and gender identity in the workplace on the same legal footingas discrimination on the basis of race, color, gender, religion, nationalorigin, age and disability.
With a vote expected in the House of Representatives in the next month, thelatest twist over gay rights is setting off a skirmish on Capitol Hill.
The Traditional Values Coalition is lobbying against the bill, saying itwould make "homosexuality and gender confusion" a protected class and"describes how employers are to treat cross-dressers, drag queens andtranssexuals".

HRC stands up for the "Jena 6"
The Human Rights Campaign is standing alongside groups like the AmericanCivil Liberties Union and the NAACP in defense of the beleaguered "Jena 6"of Louisiana.
HRC, the nation's largest LGBT civil rights organization, is reaching out toits contacts in Louisiana, urging them to get involved in defense of theAfrican-American teenagers known as the Jena 6.
A white teen was hospitalized, and was released the same day, after arace-related brawl broke out in December between white and black teens inthe small town of Jena in north-central Louisiana. Motives for the fight areunclear, but nooses were hung from a tree at one point, the Associated Pressreported. All the whites involved in the case were eventually released bypolice, but the African-Americans were incarcerated, and many still faceserious charges. The black teens arrested became known as the Jena 6.
"The Human Rights Campaign is proud to be part of the larger civil rightscommunity and we stand united with others in this movement to replacebigotry and bias with equality and understanding," said Cuc Vu, HRC's chiefdiversity officer, in a press release. "This type of prejudice and hate inour country affects all Americans, regardless of race, ethnicity, or sexualorientation." (The Advocate)

Craig keeps mum on return to Washington
Sen. Larry Craig has been sending press releases from Idaho commenting onU.S. Senate matters, but his spokesman said Thursday that he may neverreturn to Washington as a lawmaker.
Craig, a 62-year-old Republican, remains in Idaho, said spokesman Sid Smith.
''He doesn't have any plans to go back to D.C. next week,'' Smith said.''That doesn't mean he won't; just nothing is planned. Everything is stillup in the air. We're still debating about whether he'll be returning to theCapitol, at all.''
Craig said two weeks ago he planned to quit on September 30, then indicatedthere was a slim chance he would try to stay in the U.S. Senate if he's ableto undo his August 1 guilty plea to the reduced misdemeanor charges in abathroom sex sting.
The next hearing in the case is September 26.

The march for international equality for LGBT citizens across ourplanet took a mighty big step forward in a small piece of the MiddleEast this week.
Gays in the constitutional monarchy of Kuwait are petitioning theirgovernment for approval of an advocacy organization permit, accordingto Arab news sources.
What fascinates most in this article are the claims of not just themere existence of a Kuwaiti gay community, but one that is expandingand going very public with a request to the government.
I wish the name of the group had been reported by the news services,and a gay or lesbian Kuwaiti quoted, but it's enough to know todaythat our brothers and sisters there are stepping out of the closet.
And I fear what sort of public education campaign will be waged withthe two million dollars to "combat" gay people and lesbians in theschool system.
The problems faced by gays in Kuwait were cited in the most recentannual human rights report from the US State Department, published inMarch 2007:
There was discrimination against homosexuals in societal attitudes andlegal issues. In February 2005 police charged a group of 28 allegedhomosexuals with creating a public disturbance after they met outsidea fast-food restaurant. On October 27, police raided a party wherehomosexuals were allegedly celebrating a wedding. On December 10, thelegislative committee of the National Assembly unanimously approved alaw to impose a fine of $3,450 (1,000 dinars) and/or one year'simprisonment for those imitating the opposite sex.

To Form a More Perfect Union: Marriage Equality News
Information, news, and discussion about the legal recognition of same-sexcouples and their families, including marriages, domestic partnerships,civil unions, adoptions, foster children and similar issues.

There has been a fivefold increase in marital breakdown in Ireland in thelast 20 years, according to a new study released Friday.
The Iona Institute, an organisation dedicated to the strengthening ofsociety through marriage and religious practice, said that by 2006, 200,000people had seen their marriage fail, compared with 40,000 in 1986.
The report added that there had been an 80 percent increase in the number ofsingle parent families since 1986 to 190,000.
One in four children is being raised in families where the parents are notmarried, the study said, a figure which comes close to levels in Britain andthe United States.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has yet to publicly say whether he will sign oragain veto legislation that would allow same-sex couples to marry in California.
The governor's silence is uncharacteristic. In 2005 he was quick to warn hewould veto a similar bill. The measure passed anyway, and Schwarzeneggerrejected it.
The current bill passed the Senate a week ago. Schwarzenegger has untilOctober 14th to sign or veto the bill.
So far the only comments on the legislation have come from the governor'sspokespeople and only in response to direct questions from the media. Evenso the replies have been guarded.

When Dana Rudolph, publisher of Mombian.com, a lifestyle website forlesbian moms, was first made aware of Amazon.com's "Tuition and TextbooksSweepstakes," which offers contestants a grand prize of one year of freetuition (up to $25,000), she didn't think much of it.
Upon further inspection, however, Rudolph noticed the following wording: "Ifyou're not a student-but you have a family member who is-you may enter onhis/her behalf."
"After reading this, I looked at the [contest's] official rules, whichstate, 'For the purposes of the Grand Prize, the winner's immediate familyincludes his or her spouse, children, grandchildren, parents, grandparentsand siblings,'" Rudolph wrote.
Seeking clarification, Rudolph quickly sent off a "nicely worded letter" toAmazon.com's customer service department asking whether same-sex partnerscould be considered "immediate family" as well.

The two brides from Massachusetts got dolled up in white and made their waydown the staircase at the Highlands Inn, a guesthouse for women tucked awayin the New Hampshire woods. Then, before a small gathering, they exchangedvows. The ceremony, which took place a few years ago, "was an occasion thatleft everyone in tears," recalled Highlands owner Grace Newman. "The onlything that it -- and similar ceremonies -- lacked was the blessing of thelaw."
But now that nearly all the New England states havemade it possible for gay and lesbian couples to create legal bonds, eventssuch as this are becoming commonplace across the region. At a time whenlegislatures in other parts of the country are slamming the door on gaymarriage, the states clustered in the country's northeastern corner arebecoming wildly popular for weddings, civil union ceremonies and honeymoonsfor gays.

Denny and Robin Roberts were one of the couples that fought to legalizesame-sex marriage in B.C. Now married three years, they say attitudes havechanged since they began living together in 1983.
"The whole thing was terribly scary," when they started out, Roberts said.Both had just left heterosexual marriages and Denny's family broke offcontact.
While they built a supportive environment at home with their four childrenfrom their previous marriage, they felt homophobia in the community. Denny'sboys, then in high school, were taunted for having lesbian parents.
But legalization of homosexual marriage has brought more acceptance. Theysay Victoria has become a welcoming place to live openly.

I never thought I would find myself defending Jerry Lewis. Like a lot ofpeople of my generation (and, unless you live in France, the one before thatand quite possibly the one before that), my brain just isn't wired toappreciate the charms of his act, which always has struck me as about asclose to dental drilling as comedy can get.
But now that we've spent some time chastising the 81-year-old for saying, inthe 18th hour of his Labor Day Muscular Dystrophy telethon, all or most ofthe verboten word "faggot," part of me is feeling just a wee bit French.
In case you weren't glued to the 21-hour telethon and missed the crucialmoment, the gaffe occurred amid a bit of improvisation about imaginaryfamily members, including "Bart, your older son" and what sounded like"Jesse, the illiterate faa ..." Realizing his mistake, Lewis aborted the endof the word and quickly said "no."
