"Outlaw Cardinal Law" Protest at the Ordination of Priests, Cathedral of the Holy Cross, Boston
June 16, 1990

ACT UP/Boston, the Reproductive Rights Network, and the Coalition for Lesbian and Gay Civil Rights collaborated to protest Cardinal Bernard Law's interference in public policy on issues of AIDS education, abortion rights, and gay and lesbian civil rights. The intention was not to disrupt the church service but to call attention to these important issues, and to Law's inordinate influence in the public sphere in Massachusetts.
