Noteworthy The TAG condom on Jesse Helms House 1991 - On this date a group of AIDS activists called "TREATMENT ACTIVIST GUERRILLAS" (TAG) accomplished one of the funniest and most outrageous bits of public activism when they literally put an enormous condom over the home of rabid homophobe and AIDS death accomplice Senator Jesse Helms in Arlington, Virginia.  The activists knew they only had seven minutes before the police showed up.  You can see the action in the 2012 documentary How To Survive and Plague.

White Crane is one of the last brave standouts in this bland new world... a triumph over the looming mediocrity of the mainstream Gay world." - Mark Thompson Exploring Gay Wisdom & Culture since 1989! www.whitecraneinstitute.org |8|O|8|O|8|O|8|O|8|O|8|O|8|O|8|

The Interconnected Universe

Just as we can’t fully blame others, or even ourselves, we also can’t take full credit for our achievements. If we look deeply, we’ll see that they, too, are the result of the entire interconnected universe.
