GAY CITY NEWS: Advocates brave the rain at 32nd Out of the Darkness vigil on World AIDS Day

Written By Dave Harper

Despite rainy conditions, advocates joined together on Dec. 1 to commemorate World AIDS Day at the New York City AIDS Memorial in the 32nd annual Coming Out of the Darkness event.

The gathering represented just part of a day-long slate of events at the NYC AIDS Memorial on World AIDS Day. Beginning at 10 a.m., Housing Works presented a reading of the names of New Yorkers lost to AIDS, followed by a World AIDS Day queer soup night with chefs LJ Almendras, Chala June, Alex Koones, and Levi Allen.
