Demonstrators protest Oct. 4 in West Hollywood, Calif., after the district attorney decided not
to file hate crime charges against the suspects in the Trev Broudy beating
that do not cover sexual orientation. 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.

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. Seven lectures and discussions cover
the latest research and conclusions of biblical
scholars and archeologists.
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. Saturday only is $70 or
$60, and Sunday only is $40 or $35.
Prices include seminar materials, snacks and
a vegetarian lunch Saturday. A $5 surcharge
will be added for those who are not preregis
tered. Scholarships are available for students
unable to pay the full cost and who submit a
request before Oct. 25.

’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.”
