On December 2, what looked like 100 people marched from the Transformer gallery on P srt to the National Portrait gallery protesting the removal from the gallery of a video by David Wojnarowicz that offended the Catholic League and Republican members of Congress.

This smacks of a repeat of the infamous Robert Mappkethorpe/NEA censorship incident, again involving controversies of religion vs the Gay community. the video clip that was censored this time around concerns one person's battle with AIDS durting the 1980's, yet the inclusion of the crucifix/ants clip has seems to have awakened the ghost of former GOP Senater Jesse Helms.
