Election results put LGBT advocates back on defense

Baldwin says chances
‘slim’ for ENDA in
new Congress
By CHRIS JOHNSON
cjohnson@washblade.com
In the wake of the seismic

change brought about by Elec-
tion Day results on Tuesday, sup-
porters of LGBT rights are making
new plans to advance their agen-
da in Congress as many signature
bills now seem out of reach.
On Tuesday, the Republi-
cans swept back into power by
winning a majority of seats in
the U.S. House and by shrink-
ing the Democratic majority in
the Senate.
CNN on Wednesday pro-
jected the GOP will take con-
trol of the U.S. House in the
112th Congress by winning at
least 60 seats in the election
— far more than the 39 seats
the party needed to take con-
trol of the chamber.
House Minority Leader John
Boehner (R-Ohio), who was giv-

Rights Campaign’s most recent
congressional scorecard, will

KALETRA is a prescription anti-HIV-1 medicine called a protease inhibitor that contains lopinavir and
ritonavir. KALETRA is used with other anti-HIV-1 medicines to increase the chance of treatment response
in people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection. It is not known if KALETRA is safe and
effective in children under 14 days old.
KALETRA does not cure HIV-1 infection or AIDS and does not stop you from passing HIV-1 to others.
You may still get opportunistic infections or other conditions that happen with HIV-1.
KALETRA Safety Considerations

Do not take KALETRA if you are allergic to any of its ingredients, including lopinavir or ritonavir. Do not take
KALETRA with certain medicines, as they can cause serious problems, death, or make KALETRA less effective
against HIV. Some patients taking KALETRA can develop inflammation of the pancreas and liver problems,
which can cause death. Patients may develop changes in heart rhythm, large increases in triglycerides
and cholesterol, diabetes, high blood sugar, changes in body fat, and/or increased bleeding in people with
hemophilia. Some patients may develop signs and symptoms of serious infections they already have after
starting anti-HIV medicines. Please see Brief Summary for more details.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA.
Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088 (1-800-332-1088).
If you cannot afford your medication, contact: www.pparx.org or call the toll-free
number (1-888-4PPA-NOW) or (1-888-477-2669) for assistance.

Gay-themed ‘Ladies’ screened tonight

“Leading Ladies,” a film about a ballroom dancing family, will have its D.C. pre-
miere tonight at 7 p.m. at the AMC Hoffman Theatre (206 Swamp Fox Rd.) in Alex-
andria as part of the fourth annual Alexandria Film Festival.
The film follows the Campari family. Sheri is the larger-than-life, overbearing
stage mom who was once a young and beautiful ballroom champion and now
lives vicariously through her youngest daughter Tasi. Sheri’s oldest daughter, Toni

is Tasi’s practice partner. The only consistent man in the life of the Campari women
is Tasi’s partner Cedric.
This film has a number of LGBT angles. Tasi’s dance partner, Cedric, played by
Benji Schwimmer, is gay. Toni, played by Laurel Vail, has her first romantic experi-
ence with Mona and later becomes her dance parter.
The film will be followed by a party at Yves Bistro (235 Swamp Fox Rd.), just
steps from the theater. Schwimmer and actresses Melanie LaPatin and Vail will give

“Art for Life brings a message of hope to communities that are being devastated by
HIV/AIDS in D.C.,” Don Blanchon, Whitman-Walker Clinic’s executive director, said in a
press release for the event. “We must remember that communities of color are bearing

nato Salazar, one of the Art for Life Honorees, said in a press release. “When I came
to the United States ... Whitman-Walker was there when I needed health care ser-
vices and could not afford health insurance. Donating ... is my way of giving back.”

photography to sculptures for the auction.
