World AIDS Day, Equalize
2022-12-01
I was looking at Blueboy magazine, November ’81, a bingo prize, and came across two articles, KAPOSIS’S SARCOMMA and GAY PNEUMONIA. The articles were about the AIDS epidemic that just began surfacing in July of that year. Oh, how I remember when we were so young, so good looking, so innocent, and so susceptible! It’s hard to imagine that was forty one years ago! Look how far we have come, and look at how many we have lost. Never Again!!! Get tested, stay safe.
