      4. It was a bit like flash mobs with a specific political focus.

        A good example of political street theater is the ‘die in.’ AIDS Activist laid on the ground
        in front of the White House to illustrate that people were dying from Reagan’s refusal to
        fund research.

      5. I see, it’s hard work. A couple years ago, when China wanted to assign congresspersons to Hong Kong instead of let them have the British Establishment of election, thousand of people had a peace protest, camped out miles and miles on the street without leaving for food. People drove by to bring them food.
        I can see the good work you had done.

      8. I prefer to live in a world where people value more than acquisition. We are so much more than our things. And we can always do better when it comes to being just. Thank you for this exchange Miriam. You’ve made me think. I like that!

      9. I like to think. Thank you for having this conversation with me. Yes, these days, people are more valuable to me than things.
        We’re having a white Christmas in Portland with my daughter and family.
        My daughter and her hubby are compassionate about helping people and value friendships.

    1. LOL! I called myself Sister De La Street. I was 27, wore a full beard, mirrored shades and had hypodermic needles woven into the rope I wore as a belt. I banged on cubicle doors. When the startled men opened the door I smiled and told them to play safe; then tossed a safe sex pamphlet onto the cot.

      4. This is one of Bobby’s memories so I don’t have direct access to it. But I do know I was one of three men. AIDS was still called GRID, (Gay Related Immune Deficiency Disorder) and Reagan’s government refused to acknowledge the epidemic so the CDC issued no guidelines for safe sex to gay men. As far as the government was concerned, the solution was to stop being fags.

        We should write this story because it illustrates an excellent strategy for bye-passing government censorship and lies. The LGBTQ movement made heavy use of street theater for disseminating information. Later on, in Act-Up, we used direct confrontation and pigs blood.

      5. That’s something I can picture Bobby doing with gusto! I admire his passion and enthusiasm for life.

        I had no idea it used to be called GRID. The history is interesting and the LGBTQ theatrical solution was creative and quite loving. This is a story that deserves to be told.
