Supplementary Descriptions (by B. Marston)
| V-124 | GHMC Assistant Coordinator for People of Clor Prevention. Programs talking at a conference about ways he's working to reach youth. He discovered a good place to reach these youth is through their Houses, social networks of Black and Hispanic kids, originating out of drag balls. He describes attending balls, passing out condoms, coming up with a voguing safe sex message. Also, conference session on fundraising. |
| V-127 | Interviews with a group of Black male writers about getting published. Rory (?) Buchanan, a single parent, poet, fiction writer from Brooklyn; Alan Miller, a poet and high school teacher from Oakland; Steven Corbin, a novelist, short fiction writer, essayist and teacher from New York City, author of No Easy Place to Be and Fragments That Remain; John (?) Gwen (?), writer from San Diego; and Mark Hale, staff writer for BLK and literary corrdinator for DIVA, a multicultural lesbian, gay arts group in Los Angeles. |
| V-129 | Video about how the sexuality of people of color is fetishized and marginalized, including interviews with lesbian/gay/bisexual Asians, Native Americans, and other groups about how they found community. An address by Dr, Marjorie Hill, Mayor Koch's liaison to the lesbian/bisexual/gay community. Unidentified man speaking at a conference talking about how he dealt with his lover having AIDS and dying. |
| V-130 | Robert's section begins circa 23 minutes into film. He declares that being half-Navajo half-Mexican, and gay are the three things that identify who he is. He talks about losing his Hispanic and Navajo heritage because his parents wanted to assimilate. The only thing he hasn't lost is his gay identity, because he discovered that himself. He said he realized that the AIDS crisis is destroying this heritage. |
