Preaching to the Perverted always gets a repost. I'm always slightly amazed that anyone else remembers this film.
For some reason I have twice been reminded over the past week of the classic 90s artefact of UK cinema 'Preaching To The Perverted', which features a moral panic about fetishistic practice, LOTS of scenes shot in Torture Garden and this superb techno OST

Dunno if it's just me but something feels kinda off with legally requiring a marginalised group of people carry + present ID papers on a daily basis...

So glad to have made time to head to the Tate Modern and see the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt. Beautiful moving work, incredible collective experience. Something I loved about seeing a huge handmade craft piece, made by non-artists, taking up so much space.
