“Bearing Witness: The Impact of HIV/AIDS on Black LGBTQ People”

July 11, 2019• byMichael Strangeways

BearingWitness

Bearing Witness: The Impact of HIV/AIDS on Black LGBTQ People is a must see event happening at Gay City: Seattle LGBTQ Center, 517 East Pike Street starting tonight, Thursday, July 11 at 7pm and running through Saturday at the same time. Developed by Seattle activist/artist/writer Chad Goller-Sojourner, the evening will include stories, spoken word pieces and music that explores the impact of HIV and AIDS on the LGBTQ African-American community.

From the invite:

 

Despite bearing the statistical brunt of this country’s HIV/AIDS epidemic, Black LGBTQ people and our stories have yet to secure our rightful seat at the collective HIV/AIDS narrative table. We are left with only two options – wait for an invitation that is never coming or answer the call of our ancestor Marlon Riggs, who said, “When nobody speaks your name or even knows it, you, knowing it, must be the first to speak it.”

The event is free but you should RSVP over HERE. 

 

Sponsored by Ingersoll Gender Center, 4Culture, Office of Arts & Culture Seattle, and Gay City: Seattle’s LGBTQ Center Arts.

About the Author: Michael Strangeways

As the Editorial Director/Co-Owner, Michael Strangeways writes, edits and does about a million other jobs for Seattle Gay Scene, Puget Sound's most visited LGBTQ news, arts and entertainment website now celebrating its 14th year as a media outlet. A semi-proud Midwesterner by birth, he's lived in Seattle since 2000. He's also a film producer who would like you to check out the Jinkx Monsoon documentary, "Drag Becomes Him" now available on Amazon.com. In his spare time, he gets slightly obsessive about his love for old movies, challenging theater, "otters", vodka, chocolate, "I,Claudius", Lizzie Borden, real books made out of paper, disaster films, show tunes, Weimar era Germany, flea markets, pop surrealistic art, the sex lives of Hollywood actors both living and dead, kitties, chicken fried steak, haute couture and David Bowie. But, not necessarily in that order.
