PROPAGATION OF LESBIAN BED DEATH: *Queer as Folk*, for introducing millions of television viewers to a world where lesbians never have sex. *Craig\u2019s List\u2019s cruising boards*, where men fuck and women talk about softball. *Osento*, the women-only bathhouse where touching is not allowed. GENDER FUNDAMENTALISM AWARD: *Hedwig and the Angry Inch*, for presenting a heterosexual myth about the origin of love as a parable for queers, and giving us a trans movie with a \u201chappy\u201d ending \u2014 in which Hedwig decides she\u2019s not trans in the first place! *Power Exchange*, for protecting gay male masculinity by showing all the femmes, women and trannies into the basement \u2014 because tweakers need safe space, too. *Nomenus*, the radical fairy non-profit organization which allows only men to be members, for sticking to a policy of exclusivity that is wrong now, and was wrong in 1991, when it was established. Safe space at gathering shouldn\u2019t mean women can\u2019t be on the board. *The Center* for its gender\/sex-segregated restrooms \u2014 cant\u2019 we lay the \u201cM\u201d and \u201cF\u201d to rest already? LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD: *Dr John Money*, for forty years of pain and suffering. Money is a prominent psychologist who believes that physicians should choose their intersex patients\u2019 genders with a knife. You can\u2019t force peple into \u201cM\u201d and \u201cF\u201d who never fit in the first place. *The Center* In only it\u2019s first year of existence, the Center has already managed to bungle community politics and incite violence against queers on its very own doorstep. Truly a child prodigy. HOPE AWARD, BECAUSE \u201cYOU GOTTA GIVE \u2018ME HOPE\u201d: *Alex Fagan Jr.*, son of acting police chief Alex Fagan, for using excessive violent force in 16 separate incidents, sparking Fajitagate, then getting fired. Here\u2019s hoping he doesn\u2019t get his job back. *Bechtel Corporation*, the Gold Rush-era construction company that built BART, for giving us hope for the people of Iraq. After all, wouldn\u2019t we all be better off if Bechtel owned the drining water? *The Center*, for hoping that room rentals and major donors could finance an inclusive community center \u2014 better start writing those social service grants, Thom. WARGASM AWARD: *San Francisco Police Department*, for arresting two thousand anti-war demonstrators. *Madonna*, for making an anti-war video and then chickening out of releasing it in the U.S. Madonna may be rich, but she\u2019s not a Christian and she\u2019s not a Jew \u2014 my, oh my, what an extreme point of view! *Tony Hall*, for demanding that anti-war protestors pay for the costs fo their own imprisonment and brutalization. *Oakland Police Department*, for the blood shed and scars left by it\u2019s \u201cless lethal\u201d weapons after the Oakland Docks demonstrating a few months ago. OUR FAVORITE LOFTS: *The Valencia*, new and grotesque \u201cluxury\u201d housing in the Mission: location, location, location. *Avalon Towers*, down by the Bay Bridge in SOMA, for separating people into high-priced boxes and selling a false sense of security to people who really need community. *Hotel Tropicana*, a \u201cluxury\u201d SRO in the Mission. The landlord burnt it down, kicked the tenants out, and turned it into a place where all the new Mission residents (i.e., white yuppies) can have Ikea furniture and large-screen televisions. EXPLOITING OUR YOUTH AWARD: *Dennis Cooper*, novelist, for turning his personal fetish into a lifestyle choice. Yikes, how daring \u2014 so many stirring stories about young boys who just want to get coked up and murdered on film! *Exodus*, the post-gay ministries, for torturing and abusing young queers with the misfortune to have been exposed to Christian homophobia. BEST FRONT-ROW SEAT TO WATCH POLICE BRUTALITY: *Bagdad Cafe*, where SFPD officer Michael Celis shot and killed Jihad Alim Akbar on October 8, 2002. *The Center*, where former executive director Brian Cheu and Castro Supervisor Bevan Dufty stood by and watched while police attacked a group of peaceful queer demonstrators. *The Metreon*, where police mishandling and overreaction claimed the life of Idriss Stelley, guilty of wielding a keychain while black, and cost the city half a million dollars. MODEL MINORITY AWARD: *Susan Leal*, for running as an \u201coutsider\u201d to split the gay vote when she\u2019s realy an insider in the Brown regime. *Deep Dick Collective*, for being radical enough to stay trendy but not enough to question their own masculinity or resist marketing themselves to a white audience. *Eminem*, because white rappers really are the most oppressed minority, aren\u2019t they? BDOY FASCISM AWARD: *Gold\u2019s Gym* for making sure we meat the cut. By emphasizing body sculpting, weightlifting and protein shakes over aerobic exercise and individual needs, Gold\u2019s treats us all like a piece of meat. *Diesel* for forcing so many of us into clothes that don\u2019t fit and telling us we\u2019ll get better tips if we drop hundreds on a wardrobe. *Department of Homeland Security*, for the forced registration and detainment of hundreds of Muslim, Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian men and for its fascist approach to immigrant bodies \u2014\u2014 lock \u2018me up, ship \u2018em out and ignore the cries of pain. IN AWARD (FOR CELEBRITIES WHO SHOULD NEVER HAVE COME OUT): *Richard Chamberlain*, for waiting to come out of the closet until he was sure he had nothing to lose \u2014 and until everyone else had stopped caring. *B.D. WONG*, for coming out with his novel *Finding Foo*, about Wong\u2019s \u201cnormal\u201d gay family. Who cares about liberation?

GAY FOR PAY AWARD: *Gilbert Baker*, for ripping off a Native American symbol to create the rainbow flag. *Supervisor Bevan Dufty*, for his efforts at urban renewal in the Castro and for choosing *cash* and Newsom\u2019s blessing over real *care* for his community. *gay.com*, for running chat rooms that promote shopping, tweaking and barebacking over community building, and doing it with ad money from sexual health organizations. Nice catch? RACIAL PROFILING AWARD: *Badlands*, for keeping black people out in the cold unless they dress white. *City Entertainment* for keeping black people out of the sex shops. *San Francisco Police Department*, for its long tradition of disproportionate violence against people of color: Jihad Alim Akbar, Idriss Stelley, Sheila Detoy, Dolores Huerta and more.

LEGENDS AWARD (FOR STRAIGHT ALLIES FOR REACTIONARY GAYS): *Gavin Newsom*, for pretending to serve the homeless while serving only himself, thereby preventing a real solution to San Francisco\u2019s housing and social services crisis. Gavin cares so much about the homeless we know he\u2019ll want to spend a day in their shoes \u2014\u2014 or a night in a cardboard box. HONORABLE MENTION: *Golden Gate Restaurant Association*, for its backing of a false and defamatory ad campaigns against the homeless and of the Newsom mayoral bid. The Golden Gate Restaurant Association is a reactionary, \u201cbusiness above all\u201d force in city politics.

ABOUT GAY SHAME: GAY SHAME IS THE VIRUS IN THE SYSTEM. We are a radcial alternative to the gay mainstream and the increasingly complacent left. We seek nothing less than a new queer politics that addresses issues of race, class, gender and sexuality to counter the self-serving apathy of the gay mainstream. We support real care and real community building over cash and cynical power politics. We are dedicated to fighting the commercialization of gay and lesbian identifies with a devastating mobilization of queer brilliance. Gay Shame is a celebration of resistance: all are welcome.
