“No More Kinder Gentler Insidious Evil Republican Bullshit – ACT UP Tampa,” Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, September 12, 1991. On September 12, 1991, during the heated presidential campaign, then-President George H.W. Bush visited the Bellevue Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia; he was greeted by hundreds of ACT UP (AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power) members from chapters across the country. The protest led to a confrontation with Philadelphia police, one of hundreds of such clashes that ACT UP instigated during the peak of the AIDS crisis in order to draw attention to the epidemic. On March 29, 1987, twenty-nine years ago today, ACT UP held its first demonstration. #lgbthistory #lgbtherstory #lgbttheirstory #actup #fightback #fightaids (at The Bellevue-Stratford Hotel) -- source link
