If we had a sexual life in the late 70's/80's/early 90's we'd probably be dead infected by AIDS, i feel devastated to know how many gay men died in that period, it was much people and it couldve been us, but you were born after that the whole epidemic, even if we get hiv today we can live like anyone, which still, is not ideal - protect yourself hennies -, think about back in those days, it was trully a horror in the gay community
My middle name, John, was after my gay uncle who died of AIDS six months before my birth. I've always thought that maybe I was reincarnated to live for him, sorta like Gaga feels about Joanne.
