In honor of World AIDS Day, we are revisiting this piece by John-Manuel Andriote. He writes:

"This is precisely why I often speak of our LGBT “heroic legacy,” the stories we must hand down our generations to celebrate the brave men and women who stood up for equality, freedom, and justice when it mattered most.Victory Deferred details in its intimate firsthand accounts and national scope what those heroes in big cities and small towns across America endured and accomplished in the face of stigma and a deadly epidemic."

"Join us for a tantalizing journey into the world of Le***an Pulp fiction, where love, desire, and rebellion simmered beneath salacious covers. This virtual event, hosted in collaboration with three renowned q***r archives—Wanderground Le***an Archive/Library, Gerber/Hart LGBTQ+ Library and Archives, and The History Project—will explore how these novels, often dismissed as ta**ry pulp, became secret lifelines for women who dared to love boldly in an era of oppression."

With Jen Dentel from Gerber/Hart and Mev Miller from Wanderground.
