“I don’t like having to just do straight parts, or gay parts, and I don’t like to be told I can only love a woman – or a guy … Once I did FaME, I probably lost half my future chances. But that’ll change – it’s already changing. I think it’s only going to change in a big way – in the future, I mean – if gay actors and stars and directors come out. That’ll show the guys in charge that we’re here, and we’re gonna stick around and not keep playing bury-the-queer-in-the-fairy-tale. ”

Sal Mineo [1939-1976]

“He never fooled me. Paul Newman had just as many on-location affairs as the rest of us, and he was just as bisexual as I was. But, where I was always getting caught with my pants down, he managed to do it in the dark,”

 “Homosexuality is so much in fashion, it no longer makes news. Like a large number of men, I, too, have had homosexual experiences, and I am not ashamed. I have never paid much attention to what people think about me. ”

World aids day

[littlemurders]

welcome to world aids day, here’s a reminder that you must remember the souls we lost to the ignorance & bigotry of the american administration every day, not just once a year.

here’s a reminder that as an LGBT+ individual, you do have a responsibility to carry with you the memory of every life mercilessly lost at the hands of a disease which could have been prevented, had only anyone cared.

this is a reminder that you cannot morally, empathically reblog to works of the following: keith haring, freddie mercury, klaus nomi, robert mapplethorpe, leigh bowery, michel foucault, arthur russel, derick jarman, & countless others without acknowledging the disease of which they died from & the staggering way it effected the LGBT+ community.

here is a reminder that if you pride yourself on the community in which you are support by & support, that you cannot forget the millions of people who suffer & have died from HIV/AIDS. public education will not hand this information to you, you must take it upon yourself to learn about your history. if we forget, it will happen again.

here is a reminder that the “AIDS CRISIS” did not end in 1992, in 2015 alone there were reportedly 38,500 new cases of HIV in the united states. people are still being diagnosed, people are still dying.

here is a reminder that people who have HIV/AIDS are not subhuman creatures of pity but instead people, just like you & i, who have the opportunity to thrive & live & succeed. they are not monsters.

here is a reminder that unprotected sex is a leading cause in the spread of HIV & that your irresponsibly with yourself can lead to the death of another.

here is a reminder that from 1987 (the first year HIV was listed as a COD) to 2015, 507,351 have died of AIDS/HIV

do not forget.

do not forget.

do not forget.

as an LGBT person, continue to live for those who before you who did not get the chance to. your gift of continued life is to be cherished, do what your ancestors could not and protect yourselves & others. we will not be killed.

SILENCE = DEATH

“I realize some people could look at my life and say, ‘Oh, it was so sad. He died of AIDS and isn’t that tragic.’ But what I want to come through is that even after all the pain and all the torture, and even having AIDS, I can honestly say that being gay is the greatest gift I was ever given. I wouldn’t change it for the world.”

— Musician, author and AIDS activist Michael Callen (1955–1993), in a 1992 interview, as quoted by David France in How to Survive a Plague: The Inside Story of How Citizens and Science Tamed AIDS (2016), Pt. 4, Ch. 4.

On October 11, 1988, ACT UP members from all over the country descended on the headquarters of the Food and Drug Administration in Rockville, MD, in an action they called “SEIZE CONTROL OF THE FDA.”

ACT UP activists demanded that the FDA make its drug approval process faster and more ethical in order to get more experimental drugs into the bodies of people who needed them. They demanded that drug trials include women, people of color, IV drug users, and all other people with AIDS who had traditionally been excluded from trials and therefore denied access to new drugs.

As a result of the action and ACT UP’s continued lobbying, the FDA adopted ACT UP’s proposed structure for drug trials, Parallel Track, which greatly expanded access to experimental medicines.

Read more about the action here.

Join the fight! ACT UP still meets every Monday at 7pm at the LGBT Center in NYC.
