We Were Here - and some of us still are

There is a new documentary out titled "We Were Here." It is about the AIDS epidemic in San Francisco in the 1980s. A local movie critic wrote about the few surviving gay men and what they saw and went through. Here is a link to that review, and my response.

There are other survivors from those days living among us - sisters, mothers, brothers, fathers, friends, and the lesbian community in SF. We all endured inestimable pain and grief, and did what we could for our loved ones, and for strangers. If anyone who is taking part in risky sexual practices (including the notorious tent at Burning Man) wants to know the truth, I'm here to tell. Sadly, youth can = denial, and denial can = death. It was only yesterday. You just have no idea.

In loving memory of all,
