'''ACT-UP''' was a militant gay organization which was known for its confrontational actions.  The group was founded in 1987 by the [[gay]] writer [[Larry Kramer]] to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic, lobbying for research looking into HIV/AIDS cures or treatments.  In December 1989, the group disrupted [[Mass]] at St.Patrick's Cathedral, [[New York]].  The group was protesting the [[Catholic]] Church's teachings against [[homosexual]] acts and [[abortion]].  Many protesters were arrested and Catholics alleged that protesters had committed [[sacrilege]].  Some people from ACT-UP founded [[Queer Nation]] in 1990.

In 1991, Eric Pollard, cofounder of the Washington D.C. branch of ACT UP, in an interview with ''Washington Blade'', a major homosexual newspaper, admitted that he and other group members learned to apply subversie tactics, drawn largely from the voluminious [[Mein Kampf]], whic some of them studied as a working model. They struck "intently and surgically" into whatever institutions they believed to stand in their way.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Jeffrey Satinover |title=Neither Scientific nor Democractic |journal=The Linacre Quarterly |volume=60 |issue=May 1999 |page=87 |year=1999 |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=ldMJAQAAMAAJ&lpg=RA1-PA87}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |author=Eric Pollard |title=Time to Give Up Fascist Tactics |journal=Washington Blade |chapter=Letters to the Editor |pages=39 |date=31 January 1992}}</ref>
