Gay Men were singing their hearts out during the tumultuous period of 1976-1990, when an assertive gay lib entered pop culture to complement the high camp songs of the times. But the HIV pandemic introduced an urgency to songs demanding health services and social justice. Video clips of eight songs, both widely celebrated still and some now not so well known, are screened in this presentation. Stories of the international, Australian and Northern Territory community politics during that era accompany the songs - bringing together Peter Allen, The Village People, Queen and John Spellman!
