  • AIDS - the First 20 Years
    Downloaded from simongarfield.com © Simon Garfield 2005 AIDS - The First 20 Years On 5 June 1981, a medical journal reported a mysterious illness that had killed five young gay men in Los Angeles. A lot has happened since then. The Observer, June 2001 Part one: The Memory 1 Dan versus Danny Soon it will be time for Danny La Rue to sing. At the Pleasance theatre in north London at the beginning of May 2001, the 73-year-old entertainer stands onstage in a blue dress and high white hair and announces that he has been in show business for 51 years. He has some personal observations about Bill Clinton ('He propositioned me in the Oval Office!') and Zsa Zsa Gabor ('She was wearing so many feathers you could have stuck them up her arse and she'd have flown home'), and then he launches into a suggestive song he used to sing on the Good Old Days. As he sings, the occasional glittery bead and sequin drops from his dress. This, bizarrely, is rather good entertainment, and is relished by an enthusiastic audience of sweet-smelling moneyed gay men, tonight being a fundraising night for the Aids charity Crusaid. Tickets cost £30 per head, including a smoked-salmon titbit in the interval and a post-show video-signing session with Danny in the foyer. The night is divided into two parts. In the first, 'Danny La Rue' shimmies around doing his rude- marrow song and Marlene Dietrich routine, and in the second 'Dan' comes out in black shirt and gold medallion and slightly less make-up, and talks about his friendships with Barbara Windsor, Ronnie Corbett and his eventful and unique career as an actor, singer, club owner, window dresser and drag artist.

  • HIV / AIDS Timeline with an Emphasis on Australia &
    HIV/AIDS INFORMATION LINE 150 - 154 Albion Street Surry Hills NSW 2010 Tel: +61 (2) 9332 9700 Freecall: 1800 451 600 A HIV/AIDS TIMELINE Emphasising the Australian / New South Wales Perspective The Origins of HIV/AIDS It is generally agreed that Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) found in African primates became Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) which causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Genotyping research, comparing different types of HIV with different types of SIV, suggests that HIV has been introduced to humans on at least 12 different occasions, once each for the 12 different types of HIV-1 and HIV-2 discovered so far. HIV-1 is divided into 4 types - Groups M (main), O (outlier), N (new or non-M/O) and P. HIV-1 Group M, is by far the most easily transmitted and widespread form of HIV found today, being responsible for more than 99% of all HIV infections worldwide and it is the form of HIV usually intended when this document just refers to HIV. HIV-1 Group M is also further divided into 9 further subtypes or clades and there are also 48 recognised recombinant forms (made up of a mix from the genome of 2 or more of the 9 clades which are most likely the result of superinfection of individuals with multiple subtypes). Countries or risk groups can have different dominant subtypes. HIV-1 Groups O, N and P only occur in small numbers of people and are rare outside of Africa. HIV-2 has 8 subtypes, 2 of the subtypes are common and are called Group A and B.

  • Dentons Celebrates LGBT History Month
    Dentons celebrates LGBT History Month February is LGBT History Month. This is an important time to celebrate the progress that has been made for lesbian, gay, bi and trans equality over the years, to honour the people who have worked for this change and also to reflect on what is still left to do. To mark LGBT History Month, the Dentons LGBT network, GLOW, presents this display highlighting some of the milestones in the long journey towards equality for LGBT people. Henry VIII introduces legislation to make certain sexual activity between males punishable by hanging. During the 18th century, the term “Molly House” is used to describe a meeting point for the underground gay community. One of the most famous was the coffee house run Margaret Clap (better known as “Mother Clap”) in Holborn from 1724. She commonly had "thirty or forty of such kind of chaps every night, but more especially on Sunday nights." The house was raided and shut down in 1726, leading to the hanging of three men. Parliament passes section 11 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885, known as the “Labouchere Amendment”, which extended the list of prohibited homosexual acts and created an offence of gross indecency between males. (The Act made no mention of lesbianism, leading to a story that Queen Victoria refused to believe lesbians existed - "women do not do such things," she is reported to have said. Albeit historians now consider this to be a myth.) At the height of his fame, celebrated writer Oscar Wilde is tried for gross indecency over a relationship with Lord Alfred Douglas and sentenced to two years’ hard labour.
