- Description
- 1 videocassette (24 min.) : sd., col.; 1/2 in.
- Summary
- This tape documents the efforts of Act-Up and other gay groups in New York City to combat the Catholic Church's homophobic policies and to challenge the political agenda of John Cardinal O'Connor, head of the Archdiocese of New York. "Stop the church" was adopted as the radical rallying cry to halt the erosion of the separation between church and state, to eradicate gay bashing and preserve abortion rights. To directly confront the church's inimical stand towards homosexuals and persons with AIDS, protestors disrupted a mass by staging a "die-in" at St. Patrick's Cathedral. Cameras record the sit-down protest, the reading of manifestoes, and subsequent arrests as well as the reactions of Cardinal O'Connor and parishioners.
