Conflating Silence=Death poster with work of Gran Fury

[edit]

The main image used in the Gran Fury wiki entry makes the claim that Silence=Death poster is the work of Gran Fury. - This is incorrect. Silence=Death poster was created in 1986 by Silence=Death Project, one year before ACT UP and 2 years Gran Fury exsisted. I believe the image should be amended to display work by Gran Fury.

Kissing Doesn't Kill

[edit]

I've added a section on the Kissing Doesn't Kill piece by Gran Fury, as it was an early campaign of theirs that spread to multiple cities and even saw support from City governments. It was a piece of subtle subversion, equating bigotry of race with homophobia/HIV hysteria, and it was pivotal to the group as it's launch preceded their decision to become a closed membership, in opposition to ACT UP's general philosophy at the time.
