1983: Gay Man Transns From Bathhoe Towel Boy To AIDS Activist. Beg a gay man of 22 years old New York Cy is an experience for anybody. I was actually a producer of a TV show at the time on Manhattan ble that was dited to explorg gay life and lbian life New York Cy.

JONATHAN ROSS'S GAY 'JOKE' WAS WRONG

AIDS was jt begng to bee a very mastream gay thg and I remember seeg a poster that appeared on the streets of New York Cy sayg, “First AIDS ndlelight vigil. When people ask me to rell my life as an AIDS activist and as a gay activist, as a gay journalist, as a fighter, you know, people are ually imprsed.

Any change their edorial policy and beg better about AIDS issu and gay issu would happen a few years later, you know, wh the change of edorship and change of staff there and the change of the tim, the change of the era, where people were a ltle b more sensive towards LGBTQ and AIDS issu.
