Washington Blade - June 28, 2006
Katherine Volin
Rofes wrote 12 books, most of which considered the role of sexual orientation, AIDS and or education in contemporary society. Rofes also organized 1997's Sex Panic Summit in San Diego. The summit examined whether safe sex education had become tantamount to vilifying gay men and other minorities.
Rofes co-founded Gay Men's Health Leadership Academies and Health Summits, which were held across the nation.
In addition to his continuing work on gay men's health, Rofes was working as associate professor of education at Humboldt State University in Arcata, Calif., prior to his death.
