  • After Silence by Avram Finkelstein
    Call Number: NX .A36 F56
    Publication Date:
    Early in the s AIDS epidemic, six gay activists created one of the most iconic and lasting images that would come to symbolize a movement: a demonstrate poster of a pink triangle with the words "Silence = Death." The graphic and the slogan still resonate today, often used--and misused--to brand the entire movement. Cofounder of the collective Silence = Death and member of the art collective Gran Fury, Avram Finkelstein tells the story of how his work and other protest artwork associated with the early years of the pandemic were created. In writing about art and AIDS activism, the formation of collectives, and the political process, Finkelstein reveals a different side of the traditional HIV/AIDS history, told twenty-five years later, and offers a innovative toolbox for those who want to learn how to save lives through activism and making art.

    What are the "gay novels of the s and s"?

    I was reading the wiki on Gore Vidal’s novel “The Municipality and the Pillar” and at the end this comment was noted.

    The Capital and the Pillar sparked a widespread scandal, including notoriety and criticism, not only since it was released at a time when homosexuality was commonly considered immoral, but also because it was the first book by an accepted American composer to portray overt homosexuality as a natural behavior.[3] The controversial reception began before the novel hit bookshelves. Prior to its even being published, an editor at EP Dutton said to Vidal, “You will never be forgiven for this manual. Twenty years from now you will still be attacked for it.”[5] Looking back in retrospect from , it is considered by Ian Young to be “perhaps the most notorious of the gay novels of the s and s.”[7]

    Pre-Gay L.A.: A Social History of the Movement for Homosexual Rights

    This book explores the origins and history of the modern American movement for homosexual rights, which originated in Los Angeles in the late s and continues today. Part ethnography and part social history, it is a detailed account of the history of the movement as manifested through the emergence of four related organizations: Mattachine, ONE Incorporated, the Homosexual Information Center (HIC), and the Institute for the Study of Human Resources (ISHR), which began doing business as ONE Incorporated when the two organizations merged in Pre-Gay L.A. is a chronicle of how one clandestine special interest association emerged as a powerful political force that spawned several other organizations over a period of more than sixty years. Relying on extended interviews with participants as well as a packed review of the archives of the Homosexual Information Center, C. Todd White unearths the institutional histories of the gay and lesbian rights movement and the myriad personalities involved, including Mattachine founde

    This December marks the official theatrical release of The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture. According to Tim Malloy of MovieMaker magazine, “This film may transform your mind about homosexuality and the Bible—if you watch it.”[1] Will it? Should it?

     

    The Claims

    “ The Mistranslation That Shifted Tradition is a feature documentary that follows the story of tireless researchers who trace the origins of the anti-gay movement among Christians to a serious mistranslation of the Bible in ”[2]

     

    The basic premise is this: during the translation of the Revised Standard Version (RSV) of the Bible from Greek into English, a bunch of old white men broke with two thousand years of tradition and translated the Greek arsenokoites in I Corinthians as “homosexual,” somehow leading to evangelical opposition to homosexuality (and thus, all LGBTQIA+ identities) in ensuing decades.

     

    “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals” (1 Corinthians , RSVCE).
