Gays Say They Will Picket

Controversy Here
By VICTORIA SLIND-FLOR
Two masked figures cavort
across the cover of the purple-
and-gold brochure promoting
Legal-Medical Seminars' AIDS
program. They do not represent
the dreaded epidemic as a dans
macabre, but instead serve as
reminders of the party-time at-
mosphere to be found in NewNEW ORLEANS BUSINESS

Orleans in early February.
AIDS: A Medical Crisis-Legal
Aspects will be presented at the
Sheraton New Orleans Hotel on the
Sunday and Monday preceding
Mardi Gras. And just in case
potential seminar attendees don't
get the point about good times roll-
ing in the Crescent City, the
brochure's copy reminds them of
the tax deductibility of education,
travel, meals and lodging under-
taken to maintain professional
skills, then refers to the fact that
the Sheraton is on the route of most
downtown Mardi Gras parades.
Ads for the seminar have run in
the Wall Street Journal; The Ad-Flamm is organizing the event,
assisted by Judy Gic, a registered
nurse who is also an attorney in
practice with New Orleans per-
sonal-injury lawyer Lawrence
"Cadillac" Smith.
Members of New Orleans gay
community say they are planning
to picket the Sheraton to protest
the addition of Nebraska
psychologist Paul Cameron to the
program. Cameron has garnered
national media attention for his
recommendation that gays be
quarantined to prevent the spread
of AIDS. Cameron will debate Los
Angeles physician Neil Schram,
chairman of that city's task force
on AIDS.Physician cites parallels between AIDS, syphilis
There is a sexually transmitted disease with a very long
incubation period, that is life threatening, and incurable. AIDS?
No, syphillis prior to 1945. It was defeated by routine epi-
demiologic techniques. Everyone was tested when hospitalized,
married, or inducted into the armed forces until the affected
were identified, counseled, and all contacts followed.
Prior to this public health effort, syphillis filled one-half
of the hospital beds in the United States, just as AIDS will do
in five years unless the federal government changes its
lackadaisical attitude.
Syphilis never had civil rights. Why is AIDS different? What
about the rights of health care workers who frequently are not
informed of those with AIDS-related complex and AIDS, but are
required to work with infected body fluids without giving informed
consent? I feel the legal profession will have a field day when
a health care worker and his family come down with AIDS and nobodywarned them.
