So moving to read these reflections from Friday's 'ACT UP at 40' calendar launch @bgsqd @lgbtcenternyc . Huge love to all @actupny involved! Join @ryanfostercasey and @ericsawyernyc next on 15.11.26 "I talked about how for my generation AIDS was our Vietnam, our existential crisis, much the way the climate is for young people now. The other three speakers told their stories – Fernando found out about ACT UP from a client while working as a spanish speaking social worker; @danettelebron had come from Puerto Rico and was hanging around at the Center, her only connection to queer life, when she heard about it, and Alfredo had just arrived from Argentina. Ben joined us and talked about doing social work in San Francisco with people dying all the time. We then went on to talk about various actions – the Latino Caucus people talked about protesting inside the Somos gala and organizing a community march in Puerto Rico, as well as translating ACT UP materials and carrying donated HIV meds to other countries when they travelled. We could have told stories all night, but we had to make way for the next panel. Charlie talked about ACT UP Nation, the effort to coordinate various chapters and individual activists. The next person talked about being an observer and a “memory worker,” a term that was new to me. After that came a trans woman talking about the coalition work ACT UP is doing with trans groups. At some point one of them mentioned the old ACT UP and Ben nudged me and said “We’re the old ones now.” It’s a weird feeling." @katebarnhart1975 , Founding Director @new_alternatives_nyc "I found myself on stage. "Situation normal, completely fucked up," said David Feinberg in Fear and Loathing, Rants of a Raging AIDS Queen, published after he died himself. "Who do you have to blow to get arrested around here" he lamented. Oh David, gone too soon. A place we could go, to have a laugh, an outlet for an otherwise horrendous situation, to fight, to find direction, to find meaning as César Carrasco noted in his act up oral history, for meaning making with HIV and trauma, Act up as emotional catharsis." @benjaminshepard / Pic credits @actupny 10 Nov 2026

Who is the “real” Kylie Minogue? Find out this Tuesday at BGSQF! 🎤 🌟 Tuesday November 10 7pm Michael Cragg speaking & signing Can’t Get You Out of My Head: In Search of Kylie. FREE to attend. A book signing will follow the discussion. Books will be available to purchase at the Bureau. Please RSVP via www.bgsqd.com/events 🎤 🌟 She has sold over eighty-million records internationally, is the best-selling Australian pop star of all time and has collaborated with some of the biggest names in music, fashion and photography across her various shape-shifting eras. She is, undoubtedly, a modern-day icon. But who is the ‘real’ Kylie? And how has she remained a mystery while also navigating a forty-year career in the fickle world of pop? Award-winning writer and music critic for The Guardian Michael Cragg takes us on a journey into the psyche of one of the world’s most enigmatic pop stars. Via a mix of brand new interviews, a dash of oral history and some playful music writing, Can’t Get You Out of My Head: In Search of Kylie Minogue puts the pop puzzle pieces together. 🎤 🌟 The Bureau Manhattan’s Queer Bookstore 208 W 13th St NYC Room 210 (inside the NYC LGBT Center) Subway: F 1 2 3 L (14th St & 6th Ave) 09 Nov 2026

Two clips featuring members of ACT UP’s Latino Caucus from yesterday’s 40th Anniversary calendar launch at @bgsqd Fernando Mariscal makes a statement about the particular risks and vulnerabilities that immigrants face in taking part in certain actions, a timely message for today. Danette Lebron explains how the issue of access to medical care for Puerto Ricans brought her to the Latino Caucus. Huge thanks to @danglassmincer and @actup_london for assembling the calendar and coordinating these launch events.# Get your 2027 calendar while supplies last! They make excellent gifts. 07 Nov 2026

Access to healthcare resources, nonviolent civil disobedience, coalition building, gathering to do memory work, what is direct action— were a few topics discussed at the ACT UP AT 40 - 2027 Calendar Launch. @bgsqd at the @lgbtcenternyc host a gathering and discussion for community members to begin celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power. Panelists from ACT UP 101 and the next generation spoke of honoring ACT UP’s legacy in fighting back to end the AIDS crisis and to demand healthcare for all. Members of the ACT UP’s Latino Caucus spoke of the necessity and urgency in recognizing Latino communities over the last 40 years and understanding the complexities and the beauty in coalition building. Current ACT UP members spoke of how ending the AIDS crisis is deeply intertwined with gender affirming healthcare, liberation for Palestine, and abolishing ICE. Many thanks to our speakers— Kate Barnhart Mattie Beaton Julián de Mayo Charlie Dibe Juliano Falcão Alfredo Gonzalez Danette Lebrón Fernando Mariscal Benjamin Shepard And many thanks to @danglassmincer and our @actup_london comrades who created a detailed and thorough work, the ACT UP AT 40 - 2027 Calendar, beautifully recognizing the legacy we stand in. Available on Etsy and now at BGSQD. ACT UP will continue celebrating the 40th Anniversary throughout the upcoming year. Get involved in the fight! ACT UP! FIGHT BACK! FIGHT AIDS! 07 Nov 2026

This one’s really special for us. 40 years ago and one floor above our bookstore, Larry Kramer shouted “Plague! We are in the middle of a fucking plague … what are we gonna do about it?” Hundreds gathered that day inside the NYC LGBT Center and established ACT UP: the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power: united in anger and committed to non-violent direct action to end the AIDS crisis. To celebrate four decades of radical HIV/AIDS activism, we are hosting the ACT UP at 40: Celebrating Resistance and Demanding Healthcare for All — Calendar 2027 launch event tomorrow at The Bureau with two panels of activists: the first looking back at the history of ACT UP—from mass die-ins in Trafalgar square and pharmaceutical occupations to political funerals—the second looking at the road ahead—as cuts to HIV and AIDS funding put millions of lives at risk, the answer remains the same: ACT UP until there is healthcare for all. Let’s get activated. Swipe through for an introduction to our two sets of panelists. RSVP to this event at bgsqd.com/events and pre-order your calendar while you’re at it—featuring previously unseen photographs and footage from ACT UP chapters around the world alongside daily reminders of protest. We hope to see you where it all started. Inside of the @lgbtcenternyc Center: 208 W 13th St. The Bureau — Room 210 Special thank you to @actupny and @visual_aids 05 Nov 2026

All are welcome even if you don’t finish the book! ⚡️ December 8 — 7PM We’re discussing A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers @ the Bureau Manhattan’s Queer Bookstore 208 W 13th St NYC Room 210 (inside the LGBT Center) ⚡️ “It’s been centuries since the robots of Panga gained self-awareness and laid down their tools; centuries since they wandered, en masse, into the wilderness, never to be seen again; centuries since they faded into myth and urban legend. One day, the life of a tea monk is upended by the arrival of a robot, there to honor the old promise of checking in. The robot cannot go back until the question of “what do people need?” is answered. But the answer to that question depends on who you ask, and how. They’re going to need to ask it a lot. Becky Chambers’s new series asks: in a world where people have what they want, does having more matter?” 04 Nov 2026
