COVER<br />
Please note all events are subject to change.<br />
Verify all dates before attending.<br />
Everyone wants to be authentic. We all want<br />
to be true to ourself, not a practitioner of<br />
social expectations. Studies have indeed shown<br />
that feelings of authenticity can go hand-inhand<br />
with numerous psychological and social<br />
benefits: higher self-esteem, greater well-being,<br />
better romantic relationships and enhanced<br />
work performance. Still some are equally<br />
less fortunate. And that is the point, really.<br />
Identification and location of those in need.<br />
Knowing who will be most impacted and how<br />
we can help them means reaching out to our<br />
groups and organizations like the LGBT center<br />
or Well in the Desert.<br />
This magazine literately started in response<br />
to the HIV virus outbreak. In some ways, are<br />
better off understanding things like a virus<br />
and our past actions react reflects that. But we<br />
won't mistake a difference in direction with a<br />
difference in compassion. We know what it<br />
means to shop locally. I know, because we have<br />
been harping on that for years. But now more<br />
than ever, we as a gay community can show the<br />
same fortitude to be our authentic selves and<br />
teach the world how to come together, not for<br />
our selves but for those less fortunate.<br />
Most importantly, authentic people behave in<br />
line with their unique values and qualities, even<br />
if those idiosyncrasies may conflict with social<br />
conventions or other external influences. For<br />
example, introverted people are being authentic<br />
when they are quiet at a dinner party,'<br />
Being nice to each other starts by being nice to<br />
everyone.<br />

AdamsArtExpose’ ART<br />
<strong>THE</strong> ART OF FINDING FALSE INFORMATION IN POLITICAL ADVERTISING<br />
Now that the Democratic list of<br />
contenders is basically down to two<br />
candidates the beginning of the<br />
barrage of political ads on social<br />
media, television, and visual ads in<br />
your mailbox will begin. The ads<br />
have already begun with the primary<br />
election. You may have thought<br />
how much do these 8"x10" fliers cost<br />
on shiny cardboard. According to<br />
a variety of political sources, this<br />
presidential election will be the costliest<br />
yet in U.S. history. An estimated $2.4<br />
billion will be spent by candidates and<br />
various interest groups. This is the<br />
estimate for the presidential election<br />
only if combined with house and senate<br />
campaigns the total is estimated at $6.5<br />
billion.<br />
False and misleading information will<br />
be rampant. Facebook has indicated<br />
that it will not attempt to edit or<br />
discriminate regarding false and or<br />
misleading information in political<br />
advertising. Politicians are not held<br />
responsible for truth because their<br />
statements are considered political<br />
speech which is protected by the First<br />
Amendment. The question is how<br />
do you distinguish what is legitimate<br />
and distorted claims in political ads.<br />
AdamsArtExpose’<br />
One way is to be a discriminating<br />
visual observer, listener, and consumer<br />
of politics in general. A variety of<br />
studies show that 99 percent of the<br />
information that comes to the brain<br />
is visual and people process visuals<br />
60,000 times faster than reading from<br />
text. Hearing is also considered<br />
effective for transmitting information,<br />
although reading leads to higher<br />
comprehension, retention, and<br />
efficiency in understanding. Trump<br />
has depended on the support of his<br />
base (whoever that base is comprised<br />
of). His most recently counted lies and<br />
distortions as of last week total 15,413.<br />
He is a known nonreader which may<br />
be translated that much of his base<br />
may also be nonreaders. Having the<br />
biggest megaphone is important for<br />
non-reading constituents, as a result,<br />
Fox News and right-wing radio will be<br />
a large factor in the <strong>2020</strong> Republican<br />
campaign.<br />
Viewing and listening discriminately<br />
will be essential in sorting out lies and<br />
falsehoods in this election year. Visuals<br />
will have the most effective impact on<br />
voter decisions. The combination of<br />
visuals with the effective use of text<br />
in visuals will be the most persuasive<br />

combination. Two examples in this<br />
article are the HOPE poster created for<br />
the first Obama campaign. HOPE as read<br />
in text, is an aspiration for something<br />
better, activism to accomplish something<br />
better is even more effective. The other<br />
visual example is a simple to the point<br />
poster photographed by my friend Biron<br />
last week in San Francisco as he does in<br />
many of his documentary photographic<br />
outings, this photo-documented a<br />
poster in a window reading, Impeach<br />
the whole damned bunch!. Although<br />
textually and visually effective in this<br />
poster, Impeachment has been shown to<br />
be ineffective in a divided society with a<br />
pack of decadent followers who are willing<br />
to surrender democracy and decency to<br />
complacency.<br />
We have an exciting and exceptional<br />
responsibility to be alert and prudent<br />
in order that we will be able to continue<br />
experiencing democracy, as opposed to<br />
dictatorial tyranny, in this <strong>2020</strong> election<br />
year.<br />

SBA Assistance for Businesses<br />
Impacted by Coronavirus<br />
(COVID-19)<br />
The U.S. Small Business Administration<br />
is offering designated states and<br />
territories low-interest federal disaster<br />
loans for working capital to small businesses<br />
suffering substantial economic<br />
injury as a result of the Coronavirus<br />
(COVID-19). Upon a request received<br />
from a state’s or territory’s Governor,<br />
SBA will issue under its own authority,<br />
as provided by the Coronavirus Preparedness<br />
and Response Supplemental<br />
Appropriations Act that was recently<br />
signed by the President, an Economic<br />
Injury Disaster Loan declaration. The<br />
SBA’s Office of Disaster Assistance is<br />
working with the State of California to<br />
complete this step.<br />
Once SBA makes an Economic Injury<br />
Disaster Loan (EIDL) declaration in<br />
response to a Governor’s request, small<br />
businesses in primary declared counties,<br />
as well as contiguous counties, will be<br />
able to apply online for EIDL assistance<br />
at SBA.gov/disaster.<br />
and navigating their preparedness plans<br />
through our network of 68 District<br />
Offices and numerous Resource Partners<br />
located around the country. Find<br />
more information on the SBA’s available<br />
resources at: SBA.gov/Coronavirus.<br />
SBA also provides disaster assistance<br />
loans to those affected states or territories<br />
following a declared disaster. Once<br />
a Governor makes a formal request to<br />
SBA certifying that at least five small<br />
businesses in a designated area have<br />
suffered substantial economic injury<br />
as a result of the Coronavirus, the SBA<br />
will quickly review the request and if<br />
the Administrator then issues an Economic<br />
Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL)<br />
declaration, the agency will be able to<br />
provide Economic Injury Disaster Loans<br />
of up to $2 million per small business.<br />
These loans can provide vital economic<br />
assistance to small businesses to help<br />
overcome the temporary loss of revenue<br />
they are experiencing. Find more information<br />
on the SBA’s Economic Injury<br />
Disaster Loans at: SBA.gov/Disaster.<br />
Small businesses are encouraged to<br />
do their part to keep their employees,<br />
customers and themselves healthy. The<br />
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<br />
(CDC) offers the most up-to-date<br />
information on COVID-19, as well as<br />
SBA continues to assist small businesses<br />
with accessing federal resources, such as<br />
working capital loans and counseling,<br />
