PARIS [September 11, 1989] — When the French Parliament begins its new session October 4 [1989], members of parliament will experience yet another bizarre American importation into French culture.

Weirder than Pac Man. Stranger than Madonna. More foreign than the Big Mac.

The Parliament will be zapped by the brand-new ACT UP/Paris.

"All the TV crews and newspapers will be there," promised ACT UP/Paris founder Didier Lestrade. "We'll do civil disobedience in front of Parliament. That has never been done before. Gay people and the left-wing community in general here just don't go into the streets."

The French government's fundamental sin, according to Lestrade, is a failure to provide education on preventing HIV transmission.

"We have the highest percentage of AIDS cases and HIV-positives in Europe, but the lowest-key education programs," Lestrade said. "It comes from a government that is more concerned with preventing discrimination against gays. It believes that if AIDS becomes a major issue, discrimination will increase."

France's four television AIDS education campaigns, including one targeting gay men, have been criticized as ineffectual.

Condom sales increased for about two months following each TV blitz but then returned to pre-campaign levels, according to Lestrade. "It shows that people aren't having safe sex all the time," Lestrade said.

ACT UP members also intend to fight for AIDS education in France's African and Arab communities. "We need campaigns in their languages; but nobody has even talked about this," Lestrade said. "Soon, like in America, AIDS is going to become a racial problem."

ACT UP's first action was a brief die-in during the June 24 [1989] gay pride parade.
