I aint gay but I think what you guys do every day is amazing. so honest,so brave , so warm with each other, so human really. Us straights can and do learn a lot from you. Peace from Bensonhurst.
I'm a volunteer in an organization which aim to prevent more spreads of HIV/AIDS and educate people about the dangers of HIV/AIDS. I've also been a freelance speaker for 6 years while doing a charity work for HIV/AIDS patients. So if anyone who would like to ask some question about HIV/AIDS. I'll be gladly to help. Support the fight against AIDS.
i cannot belive people did not change their behaviour look at as now they dont care and now thanks to the cocktail people going to party and spreading hiv again its horrible.
@gibletlover the reason why people are not caring about HIV anymore is because of (the cocktail) they don't see it as a death sentence like back in the 1980s... and the way science is going at the moment in terms of discoveries about the virus!!! HIV WILL BE CURED SOON then everyone will be fucking like strawberries & icecream you just wait and see the world is gonna become a massive fuck-fest...
@felinefury3000 I don't think there will ever be a cure, it's like cancer...the money is in the medicine, not the cure. Regretfully, I think it's here to stay.
Oh,& I didn't mean to imply in my last comment that we really 'blamed' American gay men for any of this.It was a throw-away comment from some old queen who happened to have had a 'penchant' for American men! And the British press were scaremongering with their reports of American gay men 'dropping like flies'.Like many gay men I spent a lot of time attending funerals in the 80s/early '90s & I count myself lucky to be still just hiv+.R.I.P. TO ALL THOSE WHO'VE GONE!
I recall way back in '83 standing with my friends in a gay pub in England reading the sunday newspapers which were awash with reports of the 'gay plague' & a friend shaking his head & sighing."Ah well,that's the last time I have sex with an American" Oh how we laughed at that! He was dead 1 year later! None of us really changed our sexual behaviour though.I've been hiv since '92 & was thankful for this film as it gave the truth about hiv/aids,more than the newspapers ever did!
To this day we are still afraid to talk about HIV/AIDS. If you guys are interested a movie called Life, Above all is base on HIV/AIDS, the book is call Chanda's Secrets by Allan Stratton. Check them out.
Thank you for uploading this; it brings back a lot of memories from that time. I was 18 and I, clearly, survived but my Christmas card list was a fucking mess around 1981-84. The thing this film realises, with humour in many places, is just how stoic we all were.
As a gay movie, despite its sadness, it was progress beyond the open self-loathing in "Boys In The Band," and bended-knee beseeching of acceptance found in "Making Love." The impression was strong here, had these guys not been felled by fatal illness, they lived productive, happy lives that would have stayed that way. It sorely hurt when Davison's magnificent performance lost the Oscar to Joe Pesci. A great movie, then and now.
