AIDS, THE LOST VOICES
Scottish artist Edward Cairns, 34, who was also a gay man was found dead at his London home in October 1984.

“I Want to Break Free”!
Will finds himself trotting around the house in 7-inch heels and a mini skirt trying to emulate the late singer Freddie Mercury.

PARLIAMENT PETITION
