Hyatt Legal case is small

part of Philadelphia plot

A screenwriter said an AIDS discrimination lawsuit involving U.S. Senate candidate Joel Hyatt's law firm was one of hundreds of such cases he researched for a movie to be released this month.

Philadelphia stars Tom Hanks as a gay attorney fired by his law firm after having AIDS symptoms. The movie was written by Ron Nyswaner.

In 1987, Hyatt Legal Services fired a man after he said he was becoming ill because of AIDS. Clarence Cain, a senior attorney with the firm's Philadelphia offices, won a $157,000 judgment in 1990, then died two months later.

It is a coincidence that the motion picture takes place in Philadelphia, Nyswaner said. There are differences between the movie plot and Cain's case.

The Columbus Dispatch said Hyatt, the son-in-law of Sen. Howard Metzenbaum, declined to be interviewed in an article on the case published December 12.

Hyatt's campaign director, Melinda Swan, said the movie was not a portrayal of the Hyatt case.

Cuyahoga County Commissioner Mary Boyle, who is running against Hyatt for the Democratic nomination next year, does not plan to make the case a campaign issue, a spokeswoman said.

Robert Bennett, chairman of the Ohio Republican Party, said the case is a legitimate political issue because it reflects on Hyatt's decision-making process.

Issue 3 money

In addition, its members attended CFV seminars to learn how to oppose gay civil rights laws.

CFV Chairman Will Perkins said the money was raised outside Colorado, and added that his group will continue to finance anti-gay campaigns in other states.

"We feel that because we receive funds from out of state from people concerned on this issue, it's up to us to expend them on that issue wherever it is," Perkins said.

Amendment 2 unconstitutional

are not a politically powerless class and, thus, are not "suspect," or qualified for certain protections under the constitution.

Boycott Colorado immediately announced it was lifting its protest against Colorado's huge tourism industry. The group claimed the boycott cost Colorado $119 million in canceled conventions; state tourism officials put the figure at $39 million. Ironically, Coloradans are more in favor of Amendment 2 now than they were when the amendment was passed last year, yet at the same time they believe there should be laws protecting gays from discriminatory treatment, recent polls show.

Seventy-one percent agreed that "it should be against the law for an employer to fire an employee just because he or she is homosexual," according to the latest Denver PostNews 4 poll.

Smaller numbers agreed that it should be illegal to refuse to hire a gay man or lesbian (57 percent) or to refuse to rent to a gay man or lesbian (56 percent).

The poll, conducted from November 24December 2, consisted of 601 random telephone interviews with Colorado adults. It had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

Yet, in a poll conducted in October, 58 percent said they would vote to keep the amendment and only 37 percent said they would vote to repeal it.

The disparate poll results show that Coloradans are convinced they were voting

against "special rights" for gays and lesbians, not that they were voting against laws to protect gays from discrimination, pollsters say.

Also playing a role in the dichotomy, said Paul Talmey of Talmey-Drake Research, is the fact that Coloradans also see the gay-rights movement as an effort to move the "gay lifestyle" into the mainstream, rather than an effort to gain employment or tenant rights.

teered his services to the anti-gay group.

Radecic had sought help through the Community Relations Service (CRS), an agency of the U.S. Department of Justice that mediates disputes related only to race, color and ethnicity. CRS officials agree that there is a need for their intervention, but must have Reno's approval to become involved with issues of sexual orientation, an area beyond their mandate.

Sue Brown, a CRS official in the Atlanta bureau, assured Brenda Henson that she would contact the local sheriff and FBI officials and indicate that a federal agency was monitoring the case.

Radecic has asked that a department representative attend another community meeting of people opposed to the retreat, scheduled for January 4.
