28 March 2011 / by R.E. Frederique / South Florida Gay News
Was it 1980 or 81 -- I can't remember -- that I watched Elizabeth Taylor dance with Montgomery Clift at one of our favorite retro theaters in Manhattan, Carnegie Hall Cinema? The movie was A Place in the Sun, a film remembered for the beauty and youth of Elizabeth Taylor, the sexual vulnerability of Montgomery Clift, all bathed in the sumptuous music of Franz Waxman. Slumped next to my friends José Garcia, an aspiring writer, and Peter Müller, my schoolmate, we were three very young gay men in love with Montgomery Clift.
Yet, the real attraction for us was Elizabeth. Sure, the beauty and her very youth mesmerized us, but there was something else. It was the empathy that the actress obviously had for her gay romantic leading man. That empathy seemed to speak to us personally. We were attracted to Elizabeth because she offered what neither José, Peter, nor I had known in our homes: acceptance. Gays are attracted to acceptance like plants in the dessert need water.
Throughout her life, Elizabeth Taylor offered acceptance. From the time she was a child star on the MGM movie lots, she became lifelong friends with gay co-stars such as Roddy McDowall. It was McDowall who took one of the great, iconic photographs of Taylor in Mexico, wearing no makeup, having just come out of the shower with a towel wrapped around her hair.
Rock Hudson competed for her friendship with James Dean, who confided in her on the set of Giant. Hudson's death in 1985 gave Elizabeth Taylor the drive to raise funds for AIDS research, and eventually found the American Foundation for AIDS Research (AmFAR) together with Dr. Mathilde Krim. But even before that, she was a major supporter of AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA) in 1984. She didn't just lend her name, she worked to raise awareness, get other celebrities involved, and raise funds to find a cure. Later, she founded the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation to help other AIDS organizations to provide care to patients and promote prevention education.
Taylor was also a major force behind the passage of the Ryan White CARE Act of 1990, now the primary source of federal funding for HIV/AIDS programs. Taylor's contributions to the Whitman-Walker Clinic in Washington, DC, allowed for a medical center named after her. As if that weren't enough, she found time to be involved in other projects, such as the Freddy Mercury AIDS Benefit Concert in 1992. To say that Elizabeth Taylor worked tirelessly for gay men's health is putting it mildly. Even beyond death -- it is expected that her AIDS charities will inherit more than half a billion dollars of her estate.
By the time AIDS came around, Elizabeth Taylor was familiar with the issues surrounding homosexuality. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Reflections in a Golden Eye, and Suddenly Last Summer are some of the movies about repressed homosexuality that Taylor appeared in. Last Summer, Tin Roof, together with Boom were some of the movies she made based on Tennessee Williams' work. Other gay writers whose work she interpreted were Edward Albee, Noel Coward and Gore Vidal. She obviously had learned and understood the literature of such productions.
My friend José had seen all of those movies. In fact, the night we met him at the Carnegie Hall Cinema, he had already sat through one screening of that movie -- in those days, you could stay all day in the theater (and some did). José would often sit through a movie twice -- once to take in the "aura" (he said he could smell Elizabeth Taylor's perfume in A Place in the Sun), and a second time to closely follow the script. Afterwards, we would walk to the Bagel Nosh on 72nd Street to discuss the movie. There, we usually sat for hours under a sign that said "Please move on… Space is limited." This time, it took longer to get there, as José made pit stops along the way.
When José Garcia died soon after that, we didn't know enough about the illness to be able to save him. But that was not the case for my cousins and my godfather, who died years later. If our government had been as proactive as Elizabeth Taylor, I am convinced that these people, who were essential to my life, would still be here today.
People who didn't live through that time don't understand what it was like. At first, there was confusion. We had no idea what was happening to us, just that people were dying. Then, there was silence. Even after the name "AIDS" had been given to the disease, it was still taboo to talk about it. In order to have prevention education, it was necessary to break that silence. Elizabeth Taylor was one of those who shattered it.
In 1956, Montgomery Clift smashed his face in a car accident as he left Elizabeth Taylor's home. She saved his life by keeping him from choking on his own teeth. It was the first of thousands of lives she would save in her lifetime. Her goal, she said recently, was the "eradication of the AIDS epidemic."
- Boycott advertisers of Glenn Beck - Fox News. Glenn Beck is anti-gay rights.
- Update: DADT has been repealed. President Obama has kept his promise!
- Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida!
- Boycott Arizona the home of "hater" - U.S. Senator John McCain. Arizona's Hateful anti-Immigration Law - encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform (The Dream Act). Further, Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and Blocked Immigration reform!
- Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
- Pass ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
- Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
- BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating to anti-gay marriage groups.
- BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
- Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
- Remember David Kato, Gay activist - Uganda, who was slain because he is gay!
- NEW: Boycott Donald Trump, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? Boycott NBC! Boycott advertisers of The Apprentice and his other business's. Don't shop at any bulklding with Donald Trump's name! The Donald has expressed extreme Hatred. Remember how poorly he treated Rosie O'Donnel? Now we know why he did that! It was hate against a lesbian as we now know he is hater. Unforgiveable! Ready to dump NBC because they air Donald Trump's "The Apprentice"? Start Watching CBS Evening News with Katie Couric.
- NEW: Boycott "APPLE." For the current owners and the aspiring owners of the I-phone, Apple allows an application, "The Gay App", which is supposed to help gay individuals turn straight. This is a step in the wrong direction.
Apple needs to know that the decision to allow this App on their products is a fallacious idea! Update: March 23, 2011: Apple removed this app from USA stores; but, rumored to have them remain in some foreign stores. This is offensive not just towards the LGBT community in the USA; but, offensive to the entire LGBT community around the world. How does anyone approve such a hateful, despicable app towards the LGBT community? Especially when Gay Teens are killing themselves after being harrassed by their church, parents, as well as by bully's and teachers at school. The idea that this app was used, solicited is disgusting.And Now, Our War of the Fittest!
This group is called "Peckers Pics." The English - slang definition of "pecker" is to pluck at the truth. Therefore, we peck at items such as Gay Men's Health, Male Fitness, Gay (LGBT) Politics & Issues. In this section you may peck at each photo in order to decide the winner of the "war of the fittest!" Whereas, you should select the guy that may inspire you to exercise and "get fit!" Warning: This may stoke you!Your participation in discussion of health / news articles - appearing in this message is greatly appreciated.
"Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."....JakeImportant Notice: Our ObamaBiden2008 Group works hand - in - hand with Peckers PICS (Both groups were co-created to work with each-other). To prevent duplication of articles and questions, all members of this group are expected to join ObamaBiden2008. It is unfair for members that belong to both groups to hear members of just Peckers PICS (only) to make statements when the ObamaBiden2008 has covered such topics in detail. Therefore, members need to join ObamaBiden2008 immediately. This shall clear up communications and confusion. The LGBT cause is too important and beyond 1 person's need to just look at pictures. Therefore, please join ObamaBiden2008 now. No you don't have to read every article! But, it covers the LGBT community and includes updates on Health insurance; LGBT boycott list; Westboro Church; and the end of DADT, etc...Also, updates with the multi - state gov't's war against unions and people with disabilities. The group is created for you! There are gay teen suicides going on. There are Hate crimes against gay people. There are gays who are fired over their sexual identity. There are gay people who died for our cause! You always reserve the right to remove yourself from all my groups if you do not appreciate this request. I have done everything I can and now it is time for you to step up! My Groups are for Yahoo members who sincerely care about LGBT rights and Gay Mens Health! Please Join Now!
