"We are talking about having a
panel at the end ofthe session
where people may ask questions.
Or perhaps having the..audience
break up into smaller groups and
then later report back to the audi¬
ence on the issue that they ex¬
plored. This is more of a workshop
than a lecture," he said.
He said the goal is to have the
forum develop into a working
group after the event has ended in
order to farther explore other fields
discussed in the program.
The group would tell the Fresno
County Health Services Agency
where more information should
be provided in the community.
^Atraxding to R. J. Brooks ofthe
"Central Valley AIDS Team, there
have been more than 240,000
AIDS-related reported.cases na¬
tionwide, of which more than 30
percent are AIDS cases.
The HIV cases have been esti¬
mated at 8 to 10 million. In the
reported AIDS cases, African-'
Americans are disproportionately
represented.
Those statistics may be skewed.
Of 242,000 AIDS cases, African-
American women represent more
than 54 percent of the caseload,
possibly skewed. African-Ameri¬
can children make up 60 percent,
which may also be skewed.
"People need to get actively in¬
volved to make those numbers go
down," he said. "The gay commu¬
nity is to be commended since they
didn't wait to get the right infor¬
mation out to the public.
"Something is killing us that we
need to be aware of. We need to
follow the example ofthe gay com¬
munity by educating our commu¬
nity die same way. We must take
on the viewpoint ofthe audience in
order to make the message more
personal."
Certain myths and misconcep¬
tions in the black community need
to be addressed, as is the need in all
communities, he said.
An article entitled "The Afri¬
can-American Experience with the
HIV Disease," which appeared in
FOCUS, A Guide to AIDS Re¬
search and Counseling, stated that
certain factors can be implicated in
the spread of AIDS in the black
community: poverty, a sense of
hopelessness about the future, and
a perceived lack of power may
lead some African-Americans to
use illicit drugs.
In addition, inaccurate knowl¬
edge about HIV transmission and
failures to perceive risks for in¬
fection, to recognize symptoms of
HIV disease and to practice risk
reduction may account for the
failure of prevention strategies
among blacks. "
The lack of adequate health care.
and health insurance may inhibit
, access to treatment

affect campus life, and about 66
percent said they believed intoler¬
ance against the homosexual com¬
munity was a campus problem.
'Tf you want to draw a conclu¬
sion about this boycott, students
may be one of the groups that
would be receptive to it," Him-
melfarb said. "1 wouldn't be sur¬
prised if they found other places to
go skiing. It's not like they own a
home in the area or something^
Amendment 2 was sponsored by
Colorado for Family Values, aself-
described non-partisan grassroots
organization. Spokesman Will
Perkins said the group got 85,000
registered voters to sign a petition
to get the amendment on the ballot.
"Throughout the nation homo¬
sexuals do not have equal rights.
We're all for that," he said. "They
want to be considered a protected
class, and Coloradoans don't think
that's fair. We're not equating mo¬
rality or immorality with this is¬
sue."
Perkins said he would encour¬
age college students to come to
Colorado to ski on their spring
break. He said in the short term,
the boycott will hurt the state, but
in the long term, more people will
want to visit Colorado..
'It is clearly a method to inflict
financial punishment on the whole
stale, even the people who are our
opposition," he said. "But boy¬
cotts are a double-edged sword.
It's blackmail. It's a warning to'
other states that this will happen.
Because of the boycott, several
state ballots will have the same
issue in 1994." ,,
Perkins, who owns a Chrysler
dealership, said his^business has
been boycotted. However, busi¬
ness is normal supporters are buy-,
ing Chryslers from his dealership.
He said there has not been an
increase of hate crimes against gays
and lesbians in Colorado since the
measure passed.
However, Morgan said the cen¬
ter is receiving more calls from
gays and lesbians reporting verbal
or physical abuse.
"When a law like Amendment 2
is passed, it sends a. message to
people that it's OK to bash; that
we're not human," Morgan said.
The center, which receives crime
reports statewide, was averaging
12 calls, a month until November,
when the measure passed.
In December, the center got 35
reports of intimidation or violence
against gays aid lesbians, and in
November, there were 45 reports.
