I was twelve years old when Bronski Beat’s ‘Smalltown Boy‘ came out in 1984. Having just realised I am gay myself, this was probably one of the most important songs of my life.
A felt puppet of a very young, red-haired man stands on a photorealistic-looking grey and rainy rural British railway station, with a small black suitcase next to him. He stares into nothingness. The station sign reads Ashfield. Super-imposed is a text: “You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case …”

Harvey Milk, San Francisco Gay Freedom Parade, 24 June 1978 [AI]
An AI_generated image of US politician Harvey Milk as a felt puppet, speaking at a rally in front of City Hall San Francisco, wearing a colourful floral lei around his neck, raising his fist, speaking into microphones placed in front of him. Next to his open mouth the super-imposed words: "You've got to give them hope!" At the bottom of the image a watermark reading "AI'ed by NICHOLAS FEUSTEL"

Today is Coming Out Day! :-)
An AI-generated image shows a family of felt puppets in an early 19080s living room: A teenage boy stands between his parents who are sitting on chairs. From their faces you can tell the boy has just told them something important. The boy looks worried, the father looks surprised, the mother looks not so surprised. In the top right corner of the image we can see the word “hen …”. At the bottom of the image we can read: “AI’ed by Nicholas Feustel" The same felt puppet family, but a few years later, at a Gay Pride parade. The boy has become a grown-up man with a full, ginger beard. He stands between his parents who also look older. The both hug him, and all of them are smiling and happy. At the top right corner of the image we can see the word”… now!” At the bottom of the image we can read “AI’ed by Nicholas Feustel”
