Adult Children of Heterosexuals

Adult Children of Heterosexuals: 5 shows of queer, hard-edged cabaret in NYC for the week of Stonewall 25!

This poster advertised  a five night show by the hard-core, punk, gender-bending rock band called Adult Children of Heterosexuals. This band was not only an entertainment piece, but  also a crucial part of the advocacy and queer-celebratory movement in Boston in the early 90's. It does much more than simply advertise the show, as its unique design elements such as deliberate, prideful language and included a photo of the band members, emphasizing the message of the band's advocacy. This band also fell closely in line with Rock Against Sexism band that was widely popular in the 80's. Though a widespread and powerful movement, information regarding the queer and gay community is limited, and difficult to access. The addition to The People's Graphic Design Archive would provide another avenue of access to the hidden histories of not just the queer movement in Boston, but all over the world.  The piece also speaks to the Digital Feminisms groups, not limiting itself to one form of advocacy, but justice and equality for all.
