Melbourne, Australia, 21 September
ACT-UP will "zap" the catholic church in its latest protest action on Sunday
23 September.
"The Roman Catholic Church is doing its very best to see that AIDS spreads
further and faster by telling its followers not to use condoms; by promoting
the ignorance and hatred of gay people; by telling lies about how to be safe
and by keeping youth ignorant of basic sex eduction", the group says.
The action, including street theatre, will move from St Vincents Private
Hospital at 10.30am to St Patrick's Cathedral where ACT-Up will call on the
clergy and congregation at the heart of Catholic Victoria to "Sin Safely,
Repent At Your Leisure".
"This action is a positive expression of anger - we will not be entering the
cathedral, not disrupting the religious servcies," the group said.
