Their music provided an opportunity for both a celebration of gay culture and a call to arms in the battle against AIDS and homophobia. They were fronted by the gay activist Michael Callen from establishment in 1988 until his death from AIDS-related disease in 1993. The Flirtations performed at a number of prominent national venues, and performed a song in the soundtrack to Philadelphia.[1][2][3][4]
