“And I’m Marilyn Monroe,” Larry Kramer, ACT-UP demonstration, New York City, March 28, 1989. Photo by @rexwockner. Kramer’s sign references Mayor Ed Koch’s 1989 declaration regarding his heterosexuality; it generally is accepted that Koch was gay, despite his lifelong refusal to acknowledge it publicly. Kramer long has argued that Koch’s fear of being outed factored largely into his administration’s inept handling of New York City’s AIDS outbreak. #lgbthistory #lgbtherstory #gay #bi #lesbian #trans #poz #pride #larrykramer #actup #fightback #fightaids #andimmarilynmonroe (at New York City Hall) -- source link
