My theory is that Save a Secret For The Moon by The Magnetic Fields is about being in gay love and not being able to tell anyone, it was written during the era of AIDS activism and the line “I know all the saddest people, most of them are dead now”
I feel that.

Maybe Donald Trump Doesn’t Want His Party to Win the Midterms
If he does, he’s certainly picking a strange way of showing it.

I'm glad the yutes didn't live through any of the AIDS era, including the early years of HAART, but this kind of purity politics was toxic when people started dying for real.

I remember the hippie era aunt of my friend sitting Julie & me down, expressing her sadness that we younger folk would never enjoy the free sexual expression she'd had, bc of AIDS.
This, about 1982, maybe. Julie 14, I 16.
I think about that often. I even remember where we 3 were sitting.

Torn up enough that I have a couple typos in the alt text, but whatever.
I will always hold this movie close in my heart, because it helped me to get through the anxiety of the AIDS era.

Sem contar a posição social da parada, o canal falava muito abertamente sobre AIDS e tal.

The Quilter, the Elder, the Survivor: Harvey Fierstein After Broadway’s Applause
Harvey Fierstein’s story does not end with Broadway applause. In this final post of the series, I look at the quilter, elder, survivor, and artist who kept creating after addiction, suicidality, AIDS-era grief, and decades in the spotlight. His later life shows that aging is not an epilogue, and survival can still produce new work, new forms, and new reasons to remain visible.

Both films came out during the Satanic Panic era. Where a lot of people were being persecuted for being 'unchristian' music, books, d&d all faced heavy bans and criticism. Queer people especially faced hardship as the aids epidemic was beginning to ramp up as well. And Regan.

RENT、調べるに私がかつてNYで見たのはリバイバルプロダクションだったようで、2026日本版でも「そうそう！こんなだった！」と思い出しながら見てた。

Memory not documentation - Reagan era was AIDS focused so most of what was discussed was through that lens. Ryan White's death moved it from "gay plague" to disease that affected everyone. I'd say it wasn't until 1990s elected D's in general were ok with gay people (at least lip service).
