A coming-of-age memoir of life on the frontlines of the AIDS Crisis with ACT UP New York.
From the moment Ron Goldberg stumbled into his first ACT UP meeting in June 1987, the AIDS activist organization became his life. For the next eight years, he chaired committees, planned protests, led teach-ins, and facilitated their Monday night meetings. He cruised and celebrated at ACT UP parties, attended far too many AIDS memorials, and participated in over a hundred zaps and demonstrations, becoming the group’s unofficial “Chant Queen,” writing and leading chants for many of their major actions. Boy with the Bullhorn is both a memoir and an immersive history of the original New York chapter of ACT UP, the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power, from 1987 to 1995, told with great humor, heart, and insight.
Using the author's own story, "the activist education of a well-intentioned, if somewhat naïve nice gay Jewish theater queen,” Boy with the Bullhorn intertwines Goldberg’s experiences with the larger chronological history of ACT UP, the grassroots AIDS activist organization that confronted politicians, scientists, drug companies, religious leaders, the media, and an often-uncaring public to successfully change the course of the AIDS epidemic.
Diligently sourced and researched, Boy with the Bullhorn provides both an intimate look into how activist strategies are developed and deployed, as well as a snapshot of life in New York City during the darkest days of the AIDS epidemic. On the occasions where Goldberg writes outside his personal experience, he relies on his extensive archive of original ACT UP documents, news articles, and other published material, as well as activist videos and oral histories, to help flesh out actions, events, and the background stories of key activists. Writing with great candor, Goldberg examines the group’s triumphs and failures, as well as the pressures and bad behaviors that eventually tore ACT UP apart.

Bad smell
Item Package Quantity: 1
Smells really weird. Not at all like a normal spf or any cosmetics product normally does.
It’s like a plastic smell.
The glitter is ok but I’m not sure this mist actually blocks any UV/ sun.

Glitter used in formula
Item Package Quantity: 1
Good setting spray, I like the added layer of spf protection over my moisturizer with spf. Only 3 stars because the size of the glitter used is inconsistent with some large pieces which would be for crafting. I always check for them after I sort and remove. Probably a better body spray than face.

Easy to apply for daily sunscreen
Item Package Quantity: 2
Love the spray formula for sun protection. Super easy to apply. I use it everyday now. Makes for a nice glow. I don’t like glitter but otherwise it’s a great and easy way to protect my skin daily. Great price for 2 bottles. Will definitely order again! Recommend 8/10
