Sometimes we forget....though I still morn heavily for all the ground
lost upon the emergence of HIV/AIDS (and, just recently especially,
too for the lost generation - for whom I feel we survive as
witness.), which also then diverted us so at such a critical juncture
Maybe that is why that song and what Patti did with it still has such
power/is so affecting.
btw, this morning a 15 yo heterosexual male from Vancouver WA made me
bawl finally when he called into NWCN[ews]. His statements help make
it _not_ hurt so much. (I've a feeling they'll pick-it up for later
coverage and perhaps put it on their web-site; it even took the anchor
back left her speechless for a beat, then asked "how old are you
again?")
So, I have to cherish that it is better, will be for this guy's
generation, and as the people who said they would continue "the work"
said, will be for those following us.

Especially ironic too as "they" tout monogamy to curb the spread of HIV.
