#ItsASin sounds awesome but let’s be honest, there are gay men who are thankfully still alive from that era, you just ignore them in bars and if you see them in a club you shade them.
That older generation are still amongst us but you ignore them because youth is currency
....and the way y’all are romanticising this present day “community” as if pre lockdown we weren’t discussing the rampant femme phobia, racism and transphobia within it, like ok
....and the Grindr screenshots show how y’all treat gay men living with HIV.
We should 100% pay respect to those lives lost while remaining honest that unfortunately the stigma is still here. Who has access to healthcare, who is most vulnerable in our communities, how does race/class/economic status impact this globally?
