Rainbow Men is our social and support group for gay and bisexual men living with HIV, including men who have sex with men but don’t identify as gay or bisexual. This group is for you if you are HIV positive and either live in East London or get your HIV care in an East London clinic. It usually meets on the 3rd Wednesday evening of each month, but this day and time may vary especially for visits out, so its best to check these listing regularly. There’ll be food served around 6.15, with the film starting around 6.45
This month we’re excited to welcome Bren Gosling for a showing of the film of his play Moment of Grace, a play about London’s first AIDS clinic and its famous opening by Princess Diana in 1987.
Moment of Grace follows three (fictional) characters as they prepare for the Princess’s landmark visit and the impact that the day variously has on them: patient Andrew; Jude, a nurse on the ward; and Essex fireman Donnie. Some of the stories created for the text were drawn from Gosling’s research of the National HIV Story Trust archive.
There’ll be opportunities for a Q & A after the film, so we anticipate the evening lasting later than its usual 8pm finish.
If travel or care costs are a barrier to taking part, please let us know in advance.
