Gay Birmingham Remembered

Slap Police

1996

Hilli was part of the charity Slap FM which was scene-led HIV/AIDS prevention. “We dressed as policemen and went on the scene, we were the ‘Slap Police’. We had a pink riding crop with a slap hand on the end and arrested people, booked them and asked them safer sex questions. We had fun and engaged with people and at the same time distributed condoms and reinforced safer sex messages.”
