A propos de cet article

Audio cassette with around 30 minutes of playing time. Cassette is very good with light dust soiling, tape plays clearly. This is a promotional for GLAAD narrated by Harvey Fierstein and filled with recordings from radio and television that are exceedingly awful. At the start of the tape, Fierstein explained, "many of these statements may offend and disturb you but it's important that we listen to them together, just as it's important that we do something about them." He also said that "no minority is subjected to media sanctioned defamation than gay men and lesbians," and that the tape's purpose was to learn why "this hateful talk is so dangerous and learn what it is you can do about it." That's followed by short segments from unidentified voices played over foreboding background music and saying such things as "[homosexuality is the] worst possible sin or socially disruptive act that a person can commit." A radio call in host, in describing the gay community, said, "we call them 'SADS', which means 'sexual AIDS distributors.'" Another "expert" stated that "all over the United States, homosexual males" were torturing small animals by defanging and declawing them for sex acts. Interspersed is Fierstein's angry narration where he regularly called the speakers "bigots." He also decried the use of "experts" and shock jocks while directly referencing ABC talk radio, Howard Stern and several others. The tape ends with Fierstein's appeal for action and/or funds, followed by another revolting talk segment. OCLC locates copies at five institutions and reveals the tape was issued with an insert which is not included here.…

Description de la boutique

You may notice that despite the name of our business, you won't find a lot of books here. While we do sell some printed matter, we specialize in selling original source materials that tell compelling American stories. Our principal abandoned a reasonably successful law career to do this full time because life is too short not jump out of bed excited to start a work day. Our slogan, “The Extraordinary History of the Every Day”, matches our approach to the trade: we seek to preserve the exceptional stories of everyday people. Most of these folks probably had no idea that their actions were anything other than ordinary. As you look through our website and catalogs you'll find a wealth of compelling narratives. Also note that we don't limit ourselves to those lost to history as our work has enhanced many a wiki page. Considering our present inventory, you might also think we only buy and sell material related to underrepresented social groups and social movements. That's because of the response we receive from customers for this type of material and we would do nearly anything to avoid practicing law again. Truth be told, we get excited about preserving all sorts of interesting stories so the more you would educate us about your collecting interests, wants and what gets you excited, the more likely we'd recognize this material as something we should bring to market. So please feel free to reach out and tell us what you collect. Also, if you have items that you think may be of interest to us, please do not hesitate to write or call.…
