Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality, New York University


The Estate Project for Artists with AIDS
Dedicated to documenting and offsetting the immense loss wrought by
AIDS in all artistic disciplines and preserving the cultural legacy of the
AIDS crisis so that future generations can enjoy, study and engage
artworks as aesthetic achievements and historical documents.

Fever Films

Queer films that capture through various methods (and producers)
the erotics of relationships, hardcore sex, and oneiric desire.

Gay Shame San Francisco
A radical alternative to the gay mainstream and the increasingly
complacent left in search of nothing less than a new queer activism
that addresses issues of race, class, gender, and sexuality, to counter
the self-serving “values” of the gay mainstream. We are dedicated to
fighting the rabid assimilationist monster of corporate gay “culture”
with a devastating mobilization of queer brilliance.

Vaginal Davis
ghetto androgenue, writer, performance/conceptual artist and composer
