Honored for her longtime involvement in the gay and lesbian business community, she is also one of the three founders of PABA.

'"T ay, lesbian and other alternative newspa- y pers nationwide received a blow to their distribution departments with the recent announcement that Barnes & Noble no longer would be available for the distribution of free publications. The corporate-mandated decision actually allowed each store the option of select ing two papers for distribution while giving the boot to all the others. The reason given was that the stores need the space to promote their own materials and retail products. Communica tions from gay and lesbian papers across the country indicate very few made the cut to the “final two” selection. In the Just Out distribution area, our paper still will be distributed at the Lloyd Center store only. Readers who relied on Clackamas, Tanas- bourne, Jantzen Beach, Vancouver, Salem and Eugene now will need to find new locations. To briefly editorialize, it is a given that all retail stores have the right to choose how they use their space. It is their choice as to how to control costs and run a profitable business. This is understood. But just as it is a retailers choice to be a distribution point for free publications, you, as a consumer, also have the choice as to where and when you choose to dispose of your disposable income. Your dollars are your con sumer vote. You have power with your deci sions. As gays and lesbians become more recog nized as a lucrative segment of a master market ing plan, please remember the small-business owners who were supportive and generous long before rainbow symbols became synonymous with dollar signs. Across the city, across the state and across the country, independent bookstores are struggling to stay alive in a business environment dominated by giant megastores and dot coms. Virtually all of these inde pendent bookstores can find space in their 1,000-square-foot , ' * stores to work in partnership with alternative publications. Barnes &. Noble doesn’t have kxmti . New distribution locations are being sought for these areas, and as always, your suggestions are welcome and encouraged.
