From the moment Ron Goldberg stumbled into his first ACT UP meeting in June 1987, the AIDS activist organization became his life. For the next eight years, he chaired committees, planned protests, led teach-ins, and facilitated their Monday night meetings. He cruised and celebrated at ACT UP parties, attended far too many AIDS memorials, and participated in over a hundred zaps and demonstrations, becoming the group’s unofficial “Chant Queen,” writing and leading chants for many of their major actions. Boy with the Bullhorn is both a memoir and an immersive history of the original New York chapter of ACT UP, the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power, from 1987 to 1995, told with great humor, heart, and insight.
Diligently sourced and researched, Boy with the Bullhorn provides both an intimate look into how activist strategies are developed and deployed, as well as a snapshot of life in New York City during the darkest days of the AIDS epidemic. He relies on his extensive archive of original ACT UP documents, news articles, and other published material, as well as activist videos and oral histories, to help flesh out actions, events, and the background stories of key activists. Writing with great candor, Goldberg examines the group’s triumphs and failures, as well as the pressures and bad behaviors that eventually tore ACT UP apart.

A detailed account of homosexuals spreading HIV by ejaculating into each others rectums, with each one having in excess of 300 sexusl partners a year it’s a miracle an entire generation wasn’t wiped out. Simply using condoms would have prevented much unnecessary suffering but the push back against that advice was pushed back against. Even dieing of AIDS wasn’t enough to stop their relentless pursuit of anus

I am looking forward to the book in 30 years time on mpox, where we mourn those who couldn’t stay away from the backdoor even when it was covered in weeping pustules.

Let me inform all of you on this thread (apart from 2 of you - can you guess which ones?):
The world would be a better place without you in it. Cum-stinking, unwiped-arse stinking, basement-dwelling troll failures that you are, you are a waste of taxpayer money. The fact that you selfishly choose to go on living when there are those who could use a good liver disgusts me.
