When I introduce someone as a local activist I immediately cringe because the word local implies that their impact is on a smaller stage than, say a world-renowned activist. Adrian Shanker’s tireless activism has largely been east of Harrisburg, concentrated in the Lehigh Valley, but the ripples will be felt for generations. With Bodies and Barriers: Queer Activists on Health, Adrian starts a new (ahem) chapter in his life and career. Recently he took a break to answer these questions about the health of the LGBTQ Community. Please turn your head to the left and cough.
