World AIDS Day

Republic pointed to an earlier episode of Norton's show.

In 2013, the BBC reprimanded Norton and his production company after Norton wore a World AIDS Day ribbon on his show.

At the time, the BBC said its guidelines meant the corporation must remain independent and distanced from government initiatives, campaigners, charities and their agendas, no matter how apparently worthy the cause or how much their message appears to be accepted or uncontroversial.

Republic's chief executive, Graham Smith, said the group would file a formal complaint.

Bring the family and celebrate the season through music, movement, and storytelling.

Now on December 1st, Park Hill United Methodist Church will host a World AIDS Day Observance, a time to remember, reflect, and stand together in support of those affected by HIV and AIDS.

And on Wednesday, December 9th, Minister Darrell L. Walker presents his annual A Heart for the Holy Days.

Of course, there's always more to enjoy from jazz at Dazzle Denver to performances at the Arvada Center.

There's also a photograph included in the piece, but the archival scan is sadly too dark to see clearly.

Although, I did manage to find video footage of the protest in stars where the massive protest placards outside the restaurant read hell's kitchen aids you dine we die show your good taste boycott stars and on some of the other side of the placards the famous pink triangle of act up on a black background with the phrase silence equals death I also discovered an internal ACT UP Golden Gate document relating to the protest outside STARS, which took place at noon on the 15th of December 1993, where they claimed that management at STARS instructed all waiters to wear badges on World AIDS Day, 1st of December 1993, that read, quote, We believe you, Jeremiah, end quote.

Ugh.

If that's true, it is just vomit inducingly, talk hurlingly.

So excited to have him.

He's joining us on World AIDS Day, and he had a partner who died of AIDS during the peak of the AIDS crisis, and I'm so glad we have him.

And then World AIDS Day might actually come back.

Let's not forget the United

States technically stopped celebrating or recognizing World AIDS

So that's niche number three here.

Moving on to niche number four, and it's going to be World AIDS Day, which is December 1st.

So we are one month away from December 1st.

I know it's crazy.

The year absolutely flew by.

World AIDS Day, December 1st.

This is the biggest...

If you go to Google Trends, type in AIDS shirt that you're going to see in a calendar year leading up to December 1st.

What are people going to see on the calendar and where does the Red Ribbon bit fit into it? I mean, we know Red Ribbon is to do with HIV and the like, but how are you intermingling that into the calendar?

so each month is a different guy um i'm mr july um so there's 12 of us in the calendar we are wearing underwear the images are black and white but the ribbon is incorporated in each photo and it's wrapped around us and that is actually red so that's not black and white that's the only color in the photo the red ribbon as tribute for world aids day and to tie in with obviously the great works that the Terence Higgins Trust and the Sussex Bee can do around HIV as well.

And can we just clarify, just in case people are saying, these are work safe, aren't they, these calendars? Absolutely, yeah,

they're very tasteful.

I mean, does the theme change throughout it? Like, for example, is the Christmas one going to be kind of Christmas-themed as well?

No, not this year.

Last year we did... changed the ribbon to like Christmas ribbons and stuff like that but we wanted to just strip it back this year and just focus on the on the ribbon and around World AIDS Day and HIV so there's no props in this calendar it's all just tasteful images of us in our underwear black and white with only the red ribbon being the colour.

cool and um all for a good cause so now age old question then how do i get one if i want one

And I was like, is he in the building on this day and can i ask a favor right so anyway she arranged for boris to do an impromptu visit of this meeting now i wasn't there hilarious but there's a kind of snl type sketch out there that you could imagine yeah two-thirds away in the building boris burst in the door hair ruffled yeah Everyone like stands up and he's like, so I hear we're going to announce that we're letting people in with HIV join the military.

And I want to announce it in three weeks on World AIDS Day.

And they're like, yes, Prime Minister.

And you could tell they were really annoyed.

And it centers around a C-SPAN interview between Dr. Anthony Fauci and Larry Kramer, an AIDS activist.

And it happened kind of in response to World AIDS Day at the time.

There was a lot of discussion about funding for research and things like that with the Clinton administration and how much money they were putting toward AIDS research.

And these two stories are kind of juxtaposed with, you know, the main character, she is a broadcast journalist on C-SPAN giving the results of the 2024 election.
