DESCRIPTION:AIDS has killed at least 35 million people around the globe and World AIDS 
 Day has been held every year since 1988 to raise awareness about the 
 disease and to commemorate those we've lost to it. Two renowned authors and 
 activists join us to mark the day.\n\nA self-described "nice gay Jewish 
 theater queen turned AIDS activist," Ron Goldberg is author of Boy with the 
 Bullhorn: A Memoir and History of ACT UP New York. He chaired committees, 
 planned protests, led teach-ins, and participated in over a hundred zaps 
 and demonstrations, becoming ACT UP's unofficial "Chant Queen," as the 
 group confronted politicians, scientists, drug companies, religious 
 leaders, the media, and an often-uncaring public to successfully change the 
 course of the AIDS epidemic.\n\nK.M. Soehnlein is a Lambda Award-winning 
 author of several books including The World of Normal Boys and Army of 
 Lovers, his long-awaited fourth novel, which draws from his time in New 
 York City at the height of the AIDS epidemic with a riveting portrait of 
 the activist groups ACT UP and Queer Nation. He says is was important to 
 write this book "because I lived through something historic: the queer 
 community saving itself from extermination."\n\nPlease be masked and 
 vaxxed.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2022/11/13/18852995.php
