Getting AIDS Back into the Conversation
I've never been much for gay pride month - for my part, I like guys during all the months - but June also happens to be the month when, 27 years ago, scientists published the first account of the disease that came to be known as AIDS. From the early '80s until 1995, when AIDS deaths in the U.S. crested, the plague arrested and then completely subsumed gay culture. In his new book Chronicle of a Plague, Revisited, Andrew Holleran writes that living in gay New York in the '80s "felt like attending a dinner party at which some of the guests were being taken outside and shot, while the rest of us were expected to continue eating and making small talk."
