Uh huh, "revisionist history." Yeah, things were massively different in '98 and when I "joined" the gay community in CA in 2000, when I started college in Santa Cruz. Those two years were the exact time the HIV crisis abated (it still hasn't) and the "Queer Movement" (which had been going strong since the '92 election at a minimum) got traction.Originally Posted by GGT
The Queer Movement didn't get political traction until the HIV crisis/hysteria abated. I'm surprised that you make light of homophobic remarks, without considering the context of the times. The only reason you can joke about it now....is thanks to those who came before you. Don't be so glib about what's considered "humor" these days -- it can sound like revisionist history.
