Ms. Gingrich, 27, whose homosexuality became public after the elections last fall when her older brother was assured of becoming speaker, plans to attend the Human Rights Campaign Fund leadership conference in Washington this weekend. She has not scheduled any formal time with her brother. But she will be lobbying her own member of Congress, Rep. George Gekas, R-Pa., to fight cuts in federal money for AIDS programs. She will be armed with the results of a new poll that shows that a majority of voters want to keep the same level of support for AIDS programs or increase it. The House Appropriations Committee is scheduled to vote next Thursday on several AIDS programs. S.
