940207 15:35 (LAX.ABC.TV) Outraged that they won't allow the
Roseanne Barr to air "The Kiss".  Please send me more info
on what GLAAD is.  I would like to get involved.

940207 18:08 (LAX.???.MV) Saw Ace Ventura and felt that it
was a most homophobic film.

940208 09:10 (LAX.ABC.TV) Last night on CH 7 they mentioned
that GLAAD was urging ABC to air the Rosanne episode.  Last
week on Blossom, Joey Lawrence finds that a friend is gay
and defends him, even though he is not comfortable with gay
people.  (might warrant a nomination for next year).  Also
Mommies had two gay guys at her garage sale.

940208 10:00 (LAX.NWK.MG) Feb issue of Newsweek has a good
article on Homophobia.  (faxed to LAX office)

940209 20:28 (LAX.FOX.TV) Unsolved mysteries just had an
episode about a woman who disappeared, it was obvious that
she was a lesbian, yet they never mentioned that she was.  I
felt that they were holding back the lesbian aspect of the
story.  2/9 Salina Etton episode.

940210 19:10 (LAX.NBC.TV) on ET they said that ABC is
refusing to air an episode of rosanne.  I think that it is
stupid.

940212 13:33 (LAX.IND.TV) CH13 Commercial about upcoming
show 02/14 at 10:00 on CH13 sound like it might be
AIDSphobic.

940212 15:34 (LAX.IND.TV) Saw a teaser on CH13 that may be
AIDSphobic.  (see 940212 13:33)

940212 19:48 (LAX.???.MV) Saw Ace Ventura Pet Detective and
was very upset by what I saw.  I would appreciate a call
back.

940213 04:49 (LAX.NBC.TV) SNL tonight was just awful about
"Canteen Boy" being molested by his scout master (Alec
Baldwin).

940214 11:28 (LAX.???.TV) Jerry Springer had 2 lesbians from
Mississippi with a black minister who mentioned that he was
offended by gays hanging onto the coat-tails of the civil
rights movement because he did not feel that homosexuality
was an inbred characteristic.  Jerry handled it very well.

940214 14:24 (LAX.???.MG) In the Continental Airline
inflight magazine "Profiles" they have an advertisement with
a picture of a blue frappe drink, with the caption, "we can
take you to places where you won't feel like a sissy to
drink this." I think that you should contact them, I will be
happy to send you a copy of the ad.

940214 17:18 (LAX.NBC.TV) CH4 NEWS Paul Moyer news article
on Gay domestic partnership laws was followed with an
article about child pornography.  I think that the placement
of the pornography piece was a deliberate slap in the face
to gay people.  Once again linking gays with pederasty.

940214 20:02 (LAX.XTN.AM) On Friday 2/18 KBRT 740AM 2:30 -
4:00 pm.  Prof Hawkins will air a homophobic call-in show
about a conference of presbyterians that said that
homosexuality should be discussed.  you should be available
and listening to call in and defend gay rights.  The number
to call is 800 427-KBRT.

940215 10:20 (LAX.NBC.TV) SNL had an awful skit with Alec
Baldwin and a molesting boy scout leader.

940215 22:42 (LAX.VAR.MG) Daily Variety 2/14 review about a
new film "Strawberry and Chocolate".  " Diego is a faggy gay
who revels in his gaiety." I wonder how you feel about this
review since you paid to advertise in the same issue about
the Rosanne show?

940217 18:45 (LAX.CNN.CA) Larry King Live CNN in an
interview with Vicci Lawrence they both commented how
foolish it was to keep Rosanne from showing "The Kiss".  He
noted that on 'Sally' you can see a Lesbian weddings but you
can't see the kiss on prime time.

940217 12:04 (LAX.MSC.MG) Why is it that all the Gay
magazines are always in the porno sections of news stands.
I would like to help work on this problem.
