Rewriting my post I was being way too polite: fuck off to this fascism, fuck this bigotry, fuck this ignorance and hatred. I stand with Love, I stand with freedom, I stand with choice and autonomy and human rights, I stand in solidarity with all of my trans friends and family 🏳️⚧️

(a) Organizations and Conferences
(1) Insist on doing everything though "channels." Never permit shortcuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.
(2) Make "speeches." Talk as frequently as possible and at great length.. Illustrate your. "points" by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences. Never hesitate to make a few appropriate "patriotic" comments.
(3) When possible, refer all matters to committees, for "further study and consideratlon." Attempt to make the committees as large
as possible — never less than five.

His last piece of art, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.
