ortland’s Kathleen Sullivan, former No on 9
Campaign manager, has been selected as
one of the country’s most notable gay activists
by a political insider. Hastings Wyman, a long
time observer and commentator on gay and les
bian public affairs, writes the weekly column
“Capital Letters,” which runs in more than 15
publications nationwide.
He named Sullivan one of 2000 s Top 10
Red, W hite and Lavender Leaders for manag
ing Basic Rights Oregon’s No on 9 Campaign,
which defeated the state’s third anri-gay initia
tive since 1992. Her leadership help defeat the
so-called Student Protection Act, which would
have banned public schools from teaching
about homosexuality in any m anner that
“sanctions, encourages or promotes such
behaviors.”
“Capital Letters” reports that Measure 9 was
the only one of four gay-related initiative bat
tles during the November election in which
the pro-gay side won. Every year, the column
selects 10 gay and lesbian figures who have
made major contributions to U.S. politics dur
ing the past year.
Wyman doesn’t claim to encompass the
entirety of gay activism but thinks the indi
viduals on his list deserve special recognition.
Sullivan is now executive director of O re
g o n ’s N ational A bortion Rights A ction
League chapter.

$15,000 award was presented Dec. 1 to
Teen to Teen, an HIV/AIDS prevention
education program of Cascade AIDS Project.
The Research & Education G roup’s Paul
Michael Starr Education Fund presented the
award; the Oregon State Income Tax Check-Off
Fund for HIV/AIDS Education and Services
made the funding possible.
Teen to Teen has empowered high-risk
youth through peer-led workshops and out
reach since 1994- Each year, CA P recruits and
trains volunteers from different cultural back
A
grounds and trains them to become peer edu
cators. The volunteers, who are 14 to 22 years
old, make a one-year commitment and serve 10
to 20 hours a month.
The program reached about 6,000 youth
through its 60 workshops and 15 outreach
events throughout the year. Half of the youth
are young females, and 25 percent of partici
pants are from communities of color.
T he education fund, named after former
C A P executive director Paul Michael Starr,
recognizes the importance of Teen to Teen’s
work in addressing the disproportionate effect
of HIV on youth. Young women and youth of
color are at particular risk, according to
experts.
Nationally, 50 percent of 1999’s 40,000 new
HIV infections were among people younger
than 25, according to the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services. In the United
States, AIDS is the sixth-leading cause of death
among 15- to 24-year-olds.

uman rights activists say they will present
a proposal to the Salem City Council to
revise the state capital’s Civil Rights Ordinance
by adding protection based on sexual orienta
tion. The issue is expected to be considered in
January, although an exact date has not been
released.
The council will refer the document to city
staff for an official opinion. The public will have
an opportunity to comment before a vote is
taken on the matter.
A change to the ordinance would add sex
ual orientation and gender identity as pro
tected classes in the city’s civil rights law,
making it unlawful to discriminate in hous
ing, employment and public accommoda
tions. T he proposal’s wording includes excep
tions for owner-occupied rentals and religious
institutions.
The hate crime ordinance, which already
covers sexual orientation, also would be
changed to include gender identity.
