I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN YOU PETER HUJAR or your PICTURES

Many years ago Peter Hujar was my lover ... he is just now coming into public honor with a traveling MAJOR MUSEUM show organized by the Morgan Museum more than twenty years after his death from AIDS I remember asking him in the earliest days of after the STONEWALL REBELLION .if he would take a photo for a campaign the COME OUT cell of Gay Liberation Front . The COME OUT cell wanted to do a recruitment poster in a day when all most all lesbian and gay men were closeted and hidden in bars and secret cruising areas across the world. He agreed, For or a month we announced at the GLF weekly general meeting that anyone who wanted to be in this photo to come to a street in what is now known as SOHO. (sad that one person in the photo who disappeared for almost 20 years emerged and because of his lifestyle at the time could not remember where it took place published a confabulation and personal fantasy of where it took place. He was wrong,. As the person who organized the shoot with Peter, you would have thought he would have asked ... he did not!) Now that that has been said >|: NOTE why is it all white people despite the four people of color who showed up and at the last moment were afraid of going public about being gay and lesbian (The James Baldwin dual oppression dilemma). History must be told truthfully and not as a fantasy to be politically correct.
Peter died of AIDs in 1989
