"A Kiss Doesn't Kill"
- Artist/Author/Producer: Gran Fury w/ Art Against AIDS: on the road
- Confronting Bodies: Chicago Transit Authority
- Dates of action: Winter 1990-91
- Location: Chicago, Illinois
- Description of the Art Work
- A poster meant for display on buses and other transportation with text
reading "Kissing Doesn't Kill: Greed and Indifference Do" and an image
with same sex couples kissing.
- Description of incident
- The Art Against AIDS signs have ridden elsewhere in the country along
with being placed in prominent window displays, but the CTA first delayed
running the ad until city officials and state officials could create
ordinances that would ban "same sex affection" in CTA advertisements.
- Results of incident
- The CTA did not allow "A Kiss Doesn't Kill" to run, and the fight
continues for protection of gay and lesbian rights in Chicago and
elsewhere.
