Five states have no hate crimes laws. As written, federal hate crime law does not cover sexual orientation. “This case is a perfect example of why it is so important that we have federal hate crime laws that cover the gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans- gender community,” Kilboum said. “There have been rex’» many instances when there is clear evi dence that a hate crime has occurred, and yet prosecutors fail to pursue hate crime charges. We need a federal law in place to uniformly pro tect people across the country." U.S. Sen. Gordon Smith, R-Ore., is working to pass the Local Law Enforcement Enhance ment Act, which would add real or perceived sexual orientation, gender and disability to fed eral hate crime laws and allow federal assistance in investigating and prosecuting hate crimes like the ones in West Hollywood. While other serious crime has been decreas ing nationally, hate crimes have increased, according to the FBI. Hate crimes based on real or perceived sexual orientation constitute the third-highest reported category each year. H umanistic R abbi to P resent S eminar on B iblical O rigins T he founder of Humanistic Judaism, a move ment that includes some of the world’s first openly gay and lesbian rabbis, will present a seminar next month on “The Origins of the Bible: The Early History of the Jews.” Rabbi Sherwin T. Wine will lead the special event from Nov. 8 to 10 at the Mallory Hotel, 729 S.W. 15th Ave. The Friday evening lecture, following a Shabbat celebration, is “Rethinking the Bible.” It is free and open to the public, but reservations are required. The seminar— one of a series offered by the International Institute for Humanistic Judaism— is being brought to Portland by the Kol Shalom Community for Humanistic Judaism.

Saturday’s topics are “The Semitic Setting” and “The Emergence of Judah and Israel” in the morning and “The Prophetic Agenda" and “The Trauma of Exile” in the afternoon. Sun day’s lectures cover “The Emergence of the Torah" and “Finishing the Bible.” Wine is the senior rabbi at Birmingham Temple in Farmington Hills, Mich., the first Humanistic Jewish congregation, which he founded in 1963. In 1969 he founded the Soci ety for Humanistic Judaism, which now has affiliates in 35 North American cities. He is the author of four books: Humanistic Judaism, Judaism Beyond God, Celebration and Staying Sane in a Crazy World. Cost for the entire series is $100 or $80 for Kol Shalom members.

I . ‘K ill Q ueers ' S inger T ours U.S. ’I 7 iolently homophobic reggae star Becnie V Man is scheduled to perform Oct. 29 at the Ashland Armory in southern Oregon. In his native Jamaica, he has a huge following with widespread public support for his incitement that queers should be put to death. His latest single, “Feel It Boy,” is a duet with Janet Jackson, who has been condemned by the U.K. gay rights group OutRage! for “helping make Beenie Man respectable and mainstream.” Although the record is not homophobic, his previous songs have promoted the murder of gay men and lesbians. His hit tune “Bad Man Chi Chi Man" instructs listeners to kill gay disc jockeys and boasts that people would gladly go to jail for killing a queer. “Chi chi man” is a Jamaican patois slang insult, equivalent to “queer” and “faggot.” “If yuh nuh chi chi man wave yuh right hand and (N O !!! )/If yuh nuh lesbian wave yuh right hand and (N O !!!),” Beenie Man raps. “Some bwoy will go a jail fi kill man tun bad man chi chi man!!!/Tell mi, sumfest it should a be a showdown/Yuh seem to run off a stage like a clown (Kill D em D J!!!).” In a previous song, “Damn,” Beenie Man raps, “I’m dreaming of a new Jamaica, come to execute all the queers.” Continued on Page 1 1 A N I C E C U S H Y C H A I R A N D T H E P L A C E IS D O N E .
