Coming up on October 10 in Milford, PA
I’m taking the night off.
If you’re passing through Milford next month, on Thursday, the 10th of October at the Columns Museum, my good friend, Sean Strub, and I will be talking about the history of the Stonewall uprising in June of 1969, which I covered for the Village Voice. In addition to being the mayor of Milford, Sean is the author of “Body Counts: A Memoir of Activism, Sex, and Survival,” a wonderful and essential book about his time as one of the principals of ACT UP and the founder of the groundbreaking magazine, POZ. Sean was one of the AIDS activists who in September of 1991 inflated a gigantic condom over the home of North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms. The words, A CONDOM TO STOP UNSAFE POLITICS: HELMS IS DEADLIER THAN A VIRUS, were printed on the condom.
Join us!
Any chance this will stream? Would love to hear it!
Doubt if I can attend, it depends on my post-surgery condition.
I had a chance to live in North Carolina and my first thought was "oh boy! I could vote AGAINST Jesse Helms!!!!"
