KISSING DOESN’T KILL: GREED AND INDIFFERENCE DO

“Gran Fury, a collective of artists and designers dedicated to promoting AIDS/HIV awareness, produced many inventive and thought-provoking posters. AIDS activists had used the strategy of the 'Kiss-In' - large public demonstrations of affection by gay and straight people - to undermine complacency and conservative commentators alike. This 1989 advertisement, designed for display on public transport in New York City and San Francisco, ridicules small-mindedness as well as reminding the authorities of their responsibilities in combating AIDS.”

Hey friends of queer history, have you seen Gran Fury's poster "Kissing Doesn't Kill"? You can check it out at the V&A's collection.

Avram Finkelstein

After a three-year delay, I finally had the honor to interview artist, activist and founding member of ACT UP and Gran Fury, Avram Finkelstein. Can’t think of a better way to wrap up one of the last days filming my Queer Street Art documentary, OUT IN THE STREETS.

Please support this film by making a 100% tax-deductible donation to OUT IN THE STREETS.

ACT UP and Gran Fury did not invent the idea that our government plays a significant role in the health of its citizens. While the mantra "healthcare is a human right" originated in ACT UP, and was popularized as a chant at ACT UP's demonstrations, ACT UP was not the first to argue something in this vein.

30 Days of Asexuality Challenge

Day 17: Your favorite “asexual” movie.

So this one is a little easier for me than books not focused on sex/romance. This is mostly because I'm much more into action/adventure on film than in books.

So my top ones are:

Mad Max: Fury Road - while this one does use sexuality as a plot point, it's more from a patriarchal "property" perspective than a romantic one. Also it's an astounding movie.

Gran Torino - another great movie, and while the main character is mourning his wife, the grief isn't focused on sexuality as much as the years they had together

Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 -- while a few of the pieces in these movies depict romance, there's a dream-like quality that makes it feel less like real sexuality. It's more like a fairy tale, where people get married because it serves the plot, not usually out of overt romance or sexuality.

seeing posts during pride month is insane like why did i see the pink triangle “silence = death” image and it was tagged “don’t use unless your a man who likes men” … honestly very deranged i don’t even know to call it other than totally ahistorical and incorrect and embarrassing…
