Today's The Day

To call in gay. The NYT takes a look at Stonewall 2.0, and strikes this awkward note:
The sudden burst of energy has drawn some comparisons to
demonstrations during the early days of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s.
But Larry Kramer, the playwright and founder of ACT UP, which used confrontational
tactics to fight for money for AIDS treatment and research, said
advances in treating the disease had, somewhat incongruously, robbed the gay rights movement of broader political momentum.
“For
activism to work, you have to be scared and you have to be angry,” Mr.
Kramer said. “Nobody’s frightened anymore. The drugs have taken care of
that.”
