Reminder: "Play Fair! The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Make Sex ... @ Fri Sep 28 7pm - 9pm (Queer Things)

"Play Fair! The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Make Sex Safer" exhibit opens at GLBT History Museum

"Play Fair! The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Make Sex Safer" sheds light on a modest brochure that broke new ground by launching the gay community's sex-positive response to the AIDS crisis. Since 1979, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence have transformed GLBT politics, activism and volunteerism. One major contribution is the long-running Play Fair campaign, one of the first gay safe-sex initiatives.

In 1982, six sisters produced the initial Play Fair brochure, designed to get the gay community talking about prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted infections in a language free of judgment and guilt. The first edition came out just as GLBT people began to grapple with what would become the AIDS epidemic. In the 30 years since, the brochure has been updated twice while retaining all its original potency, humor and vitality.

Produced in partnership with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Inc., the "Play Fair!" exhibit will open with a public reception on Friday, September 28, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.

GLBT History Museum, 4127 18th St. near Castro, San Francisco, CA
