to implement a unique system to identify cases of HIV/AIDS while maintaining the privacy of the patients. Another of the Alliance's efforts is to direct more attention towards the needs of women with HIV/AIDS. The Alliance calls for city agencies that dispense contraceptives and barriers for disease protection to also dispense dental dams and other forms of protection for safe lesbian sex. The Alliance website was recognized as one of two out of 23 "homosexual" sites chosen for analysis that included lesbian issues in a health concerns section. The Alliance collaborates extensively with many organizations, including the Gertrude Stein Democratic Club, Coalition of Black Lesbians and Gay Men, ENLACE (a gay Latino activism group), Log Cabin Republicans, Gays and Lesbians Opposing Violence, and the Sexual Minority Youth Assistance League. The Alliance participates in politics by rating political candidates based on their views on gay and lesbian issues. However, the Alliance is opposed to taking stances on other political issues, such as war. Rick Rosendall said, "I think gay rights organizations should focus on gay rights... There are already enough groups that oppose war. If they [gay rights groups] want to do that, they shouldn't pretend to be a gay rights group." Gay and Lesbian Education Fund In 1982, the Alliance established the nonprofit Gay and Lesbian Education Fund. Though related to the Alliance, it has its own board of directors. Its goal is to educate the heterosexual community about gay and lesbian issues. It both raises money and provides grants for this purpose. For example, in 1991 it ran a significant advertising campaign to place signs reading "Everytime You Think 'Dyke' or 'Faggot' Remember, We Belong to Someone's Family. Perhaps Yours." on buses throughout the District of Columbia.
