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 />
