But what does he really think about drag, gays, coming out, trashing hotel rooms, and being human? ELECTIONS --------- A COLD WIND BLOWS Pollsters are predicting a Republican sweep in November's midterm elections. If it happens, the ramifications could be grave for gay rights causes in Congress, the courts, and even the White House. CRIME ----- TEXAS BLOOD For Texas gubernatorial candidate George W. Bush, the far right's inflammatory antigay rhetoric may be an embarrassment. For at least seven gay Texans, it may have been lethal. MUSIC ----- ROCK SOLID When Luscious Jackson's Kate Schellenbach met the Breeders' Josephine Wiggs, lesbian love bloomed. Today, the two are your basic couple with everyday concerns, such as managing two careers and starting a family. POLITICS -------- STICKS AND STONES Canadian parliament member Rose-anne Skoke lands in hot water after saying some nasty things about gays. DIPLOMACY --------- UNITED THEY STAND The United Nations drops the International Lesbian and Gay Association like a hot potato, even after it repudiates a boy-love group. THE MOVEMENT ------------ OUT OF CINCINNATI In the wake of Cincinnati's antigay referendum, a controversial boycott of the city's convention industry sparks strategic debate. PEOPLE ------ A POSITIVE CANDIDATE In Massachusetts Bob Massie proves that being HIV-positive has its advantages, even when you're running for statewide office.
