BAJA GAY CONTEST The following caption from the Oct. 7, 1994, San Diego Gay & Lesbian Copyright (c) 1994 The Gay & Lesbian Times. All rights reserved. ***** Jose Antonio Morfin, left, 22, is Mr. Baja Gay 1994. Morfin, a 22-year-old communications student, beat out four other contestants Sept. 30 at Mike's Disco-Bar in Tijuana. At right is first-runner-up Rodolfo Reyes, 19. The heavily attended event raised about $400 for AIDS Project Tijuana. Morfin received a 500 new-pesos prize and Reyes received 300 pesos. (There are 3.3 pesos to a dollar.) The Gay & Lesbian Times received the "Mr. Amigo International 1994" award during the contest from the gay- rights group Grupo Y Que? in thanks for the paper's increased coverage of news from south of the border. ***** 105 WORDS All accents marks, of course, are missing. This is true of all my posts with Spanish words in them. I wish the Internet could accommodate diacritical marks, but it can't.
