Measure 9 worries
gay movie director
SALEM (AP) — Cur Van Sant Is shooting his latest movie, Even
(Urngirls Get the Blum, In Portland and Bend. But he isn't sure
he'll he filming any movies in Oregon after November.
"It's not whether I want to. It’s whether 1 legally could," the Port
land-based director said.
Van Sant, who is gay, is worried about a measure on Oregon's
ballot Nov. 3 that would label homosexuality abnormal and forbid
government from promoting or facilitating it.
"It might get to the point where people like me can’t shoot their
films," said Van Sant. His last movie. My Own Private Idaho, dealt
with male prostitutes.
Measure 9 also is causing jitters among the people who promote
Oregon's travel and convention business. They fear tourists and
professional groups will shun Oregon, costing the state millions in
lost tourism dollars.
"I think the potential for that is there," said Jim Bocci of the
Portlund/Oregon Visitors Association. "This thing has gotten quite
a bit of national attention,"
Bocci points to Arizona, which lost more than $160 million in
convention business after dropping a state holiday honoring Martin
Luther King.
One of the chief supporters of Measure 9 accuses opponents of
trying to "blackmail" Oregon voters by making empty threats about
economic boycotts.
"The homosexual community potentially could be creating a
self-fulfilling prophecy that could hurt some businesses in the
stale," Lon Mahon said. “But long term, it’s going to have no effect
at all."

the radio," Bishoff said, "with a
whole bunch of questions I
have researched about an issue,
and we don't have the people
on to talk about it.”
"Wo just winged it." ho said.
"1 was just scared to death. In
fact, I said something about go
ing on the roof and throwing
myself on the mall because this
is not the way 1 had envisioned
this was all going to work."
Bishoff credits Roberts’ radio
experience with helping him
relax and enjoy the show. But
Roberts' calming Influence ex
tends beyond the; on-air time.
Roberts said for the first month
of their partnership Bishoff was
making regular last-minute
phone calls to his homo.
"Once, he called the house,"
Roberts said. "I think it was
about tho sevonth or eighth
lime that day. maybe, my son
said, 'Dad, it's Bishoff again.' "
Blshoff's more relaxed and
confident attitude is apparent
this day us ho teases DeFazio
about a moustache the? con
gressman is growing.
"I try to throw in some irrev
orent-type things to try and
loosen up the person being in
terviewed and let them get a lit
tle more comfortable,” Bishoff
said, "and to provide some
spice because it ain't all a seri
ous world out there."
KAVE co-owner Jordan Sea
man said Bishoff's notoriety
from the newspaper column
gives him an advantage in put
ting peoplo at nuse.
"People read the column all
tho time anyway," Seaman
said. "People tend to speak to
him on a first-name basis on
the show. They call up and say.
'Don, 1 wunt to comment on
what you just said,' like they
know him already from the
newspaper."
Bishoff obviously enjoys in
teracting with peoplo, and he
said tho radio show provides
him with a chance to havu con
tact with people who are of a
different generation. And at tho
same time, having hint host the
show is an attempt by KAVE to
reach those not in the college
age group.
“I'm not tho typical KAVE
listener,” Bishoff said. "1 don't
like 95 percent of the music
they play on this station. It's
just not my era I'm an old
fart.”
