Free LGBTQ+ Film Series at St Bart’s is Back!

Many of you have been asking about this, and I’m pleased to announce that once again, Anthony Perrotto will host a free gay film series sponsored by the LGBTQ+ Community at St. Bart’s, featuring films with gay themes.

Please join us on Friday, November 21st at 6 PM for the first film of the season — the Emmy Award–winning The Normal Heart, starring Mark Ruffalo, Matt Bomer, and Julia Roberts.

Please enter through St. Bart’s Rectory Door, 109 E 50th Street (between Lexington and Park Avenues).

Following the film, we’ll have dinner at a moderately priced nearby restaurant.

Attendees are asked to bring cash to pay for dinner, as some restaurants do not provide individual checks for large groups. When that happens, it can be extremely difficult to settle the bill if some people are paying by card while others use cash. Depending upon what you order, I would estimate bringing $35-$60 in cash for your meal.

The Normal Heart remains one of the most searing and essential portrayals of the early HIV/AIDS crisis in New York City. Larry Kramer’s autobiographical play captures both the fury and the heartbreak of a community fighting for its life while its members were dying. The story confronts the political silence and tragic inaction of Mayor Ed Koch, whose closeted existence contributed to his paralysis as the epidemic exploded. Decades later, The Normal Heart still demands accountability, compassion, and remembrance.
