I was a waitress in Oaklawn, the gay part of Dallas from "78 to '90. ALL of my friends died from that horror. All of them. It's why I left. They were the best friends I ever had and are most fondly missed.
How sad!
Big hugs to you. You sound like you were an amazing friend to them to have cared so much. xxx
That's crazy. I was a DJ in Dallas from 87 to present and I worked at Oak Lawn records from 88-94. It was a scary time. I lost my bf David Hayes in 90. He was a hairdresser at Paul Neinast. Coco, Sweet Savage, Amazing Grace, Tandy Andrews, Whitney Paige, Erica Andrews, Charlie Summers, Racine Scott, Wendy Rochelle, Naomi Sims, Ginger Taylor, Donna Day, Todd Allen just to name off the top of my head...all gone.
I lived in Arlington, TX as a gay man 1983-2000. I was infected with HIV in 1986. I partied in Dallas all the time and it was a terrible era to have to live through. Bless your heart for being there for your friends!
@@rickovery How did you make it out of that? They didn't have the treatments that they have now then.
I lost my brother-in-law and more friends than I can imagine. Now it’s 62. I don’t know how I made it. Now 26 years later, I’m HIV positive but wishing so many others that had the opportunity that I did. I only have one friend left who was diagnosed in 1985 who still today thrives. This was the most horrible time of my life.
I completely understand. I too am a long term survivor. The only one that has helped me has been God.
My brother, Dennis O'Connor, 1964-1993. Loved and missed every day by all lives he touched.
My Cousin Brenda Hopkins and also my uncle Calvin Benwoir.. missed everyday of our lives as well.. Sorry bout your Brother.. May we all meet in paradise one day😇😇😭😭
Kay Foley so sorry for your loss peace and love to you and your loved ones
Lo siento mucho
@@amybugg001 -- Sadly, there are far too many names to whisper. Many of us lost scores of relatives, friends, acquaintances, and co-workers. I will miss my big brother John as long as I live.
May Dennis O'Connor rest in peace.❤️❤️❤️. Sending you my love from 🇬🇧
I'm a 65 year old gay man. This morning I woke up feeling sorry for myself for being alone and what COVID did to my former life. Then I saw this and I remembered way, way back. Thank you for this monumental work. I had forgotten.
I’m 66, I feel ya
I lived through HIV for years, I had to stop going to funeral things and try to have a life…I am going to be old where many beautiful,talented people couldn’t make it…
Im 70 and survived....and feel the same way..
I’m 60 and never forgot it, I always think about the ones we lost too early. I don’t live in the past, but that area was a major impact on my life. Yet when I became paralyzed from the waist down when I was 43, I immediately accepted it and turned it into my Olympics. I will always have nerve damage but I’m walking with crutches after decades of PT, and have ED for life. This was life changing but not life threatening. You learn to put your challenges into perspective!
It's a shame these men died today they would.get more help
My only Brother John A. Blanda Died of AIDS on December 15,1991. It feels like yesterday. My brother graduated from P.S.12 Westchester Square. Johnny served Four years in the Air Force, and was in the National Guard prior to his 4 years in the Air Force. He is interred in the 'old' section of St.Raymonds Cemetery.
God bless you. Chris from London UK.
Thank you. My husband is among those acknowledged. He was a strong and positive presence whose public acknowledgement of his circumstance was offered to help others in the same situation. He remains who he always was: a powerful presence for good.
RIP to those who weren't famous
Amen.💚
Sad RIP,
But non of these people were really famous.. May be well known in Hollywood to the actors..
Most were behind the scenes in Hollywood, only being really known if they had acted on the screen before becoming a writer, director, or producer.
It is sad that is the case...
Because most actors would be nothing without someone else writing their lines and directing them in what to do..
My boyfriend Omar Ulises Álvarez . 1979-2019. R.I.P
I know it would probably take 1,000 years, but watching this makes me want to learn more about each and every one of these people... the lives they lived; the ones they loved and the loves they had lost. 💔
I couldn't agree more.
I feel exactly the same, I want to awaken their lives.
Right I kept up stopping and writing up names I felt like looking up.
So many beautiful, wonderful, talented people, not counting all those who were not famous. My heart breaks.
I am Vietnam vet, and what I witnessed in dealing with the onslaught of AIDS was incomprehensible. Many of these incredibly talented, beautiful, and skilled people had rough, tragic fights for their lives. There was so much false hope and misinformation. People were taken advantage of in inhumane ways.
As a volunteer hospice worker I watched in wonder as the first trials of the "cocktail" showed remarkable results. My sick and dying patients transformed into healthy, beautiful men seemingly overnight. Pissed off at loosing everything, and then suddenly regaining their health, they got their strength back and walked out renewed. It was a time of much renewed hope.
God bless you
Have you not seen the recent 'commercials' from lawyers, trying to drum up business??? Claiming that the 'life saving' AIDS drugs had dangerous side effects, compared to the newere ones??
@@AnitaCock They did. But dangerous side effects was better than guaranteed death.
Quacks and charlatans who make a fast buck giving false hope to the dying are in a special class of evil.
So sad.
I am deeply humbled by this Tribute for so many we have lost.
2023 is my 40th year living with HIV.
20 years with natural therapies including acupuncture and Chinese herbs.
Immune system went into wild collapse and I was with a couple of months of death from PML / AIDS in early 2004. Against the medical odds I 90% recovered.
When COVID hit - I joked to my doctor... "I already tried dying. It did not work."
What a gift to survive when two former partners and so many friends did not make it.
I now have an acronym for AIDS...
Assists Individuals Develop Spiritually...
with HIV - Healing Inner Values...
I have come to believe life is gift that challenges each of us and collectively..
to grow as an individual and as a spiritual spark that evolves life at a deeper level...
You have my total respect. God bless you 🙏 ❤️.
I hope in our lifetime they find a cure lost my brotehr in 1992... I still loved him ... and did not care he had AIDS... Love in unconditional.. Lost co workers as well. May all rest after they suffered
To all those Not mentioned Here.We still remember and Love you. We will Not Forget You!!!💋💗💖💞💖💞💖💞💖💞❤💚💜💙💛💓😭👑
Very poignant tribute. I noticed the background music was from an HBO special "And the Band Play On" made me tear up. Great job on bringing them back, even though for a few moments.
Well done..heartbreaking
I can only hope that the wonderful, talented men here are now in peace and bliss.
May I add my very dear friend’s name Thom Geoffrion. I hope we will meet again.
Such talented and accomplished people who made the world brighter for the quick second that they were alive.
So very tragic.
I'm 57 and remember when my uncle told me, in the early 80s, that he was sick. I devoured every bit of information availabe on HIV/AIDS. I remember when many of these talented men died. It was heartbreaking. My uncle died in 2007 of AIDS. He survived longer than most. I will never forget the early days of this horrible disease.
This was so sad I’m heterosexual and some of the people on here brought me joy with the art they created .
Shocked I didn't know. And for everyone a thousand infamous neighbors sons friends and lovers and for every one of those ten thousand friends mothers coworkers left grieving for years They worked so hard to be cut in a moment in time Each one worthy of a movie or documentary of their journey.
I have NEVER heard better music on a video than this! It is SOOO sad, yet so appropriate for the cause. Amazing.......I've watched this over and over and still cry......thank you.!
I think the music is from a movie about the early times aids begun and how the virus was discovered. With Richard Gere and Mathew Modine. " And the band played on " i think it was the title.
Thank You for this memorial in honor of many talented, forgotten souls to a disease that decimated a generation of gay and bisexual men. In a way it’s a distant memory. But for those of us who were in it and still alive, it was and still is a profoundly sad story of our lives that has colored my life since with a sad wistfulness but an easy empathy for others’ suffering.
Can anyone imagine the suffering this men went through the last months of their lives. Specially if their family rejected them and the stigma and ignorance of the people
Paul Prenter's dad said it was horrible and that he wouldn't wish it on his worst enemy.
Mary Madrigal yes , As a former case worker in NYC I would hold my patients hand . We would be there alone , since no family would visit and friends and lovers have already passed away . The most painful memory I have it still make me cry as I write it .
I still get sad when I remember one of my best friend that his mother rejected him. I took him out for dinner before he passed away.He was sad and didn't eat much.RIP my dear friend.
I worked as a 23 year old brand new baby nurse on an AID’s unit. You have no idea.
Especially in the beginning, when the means of spreading of the disease were not known yet. People avoided and judged those who were affected.
It must have been so hard... 😢
The talent that was lost. I suffered a loss of a great friend ...Philip Butler....I miss him everyday. Thanks for posting this. Such a loss...
Thinking about all the culture, art, and beauty that AIDS has stolen from this world.
Yes & Yes & Ronald Reagan Did Nothing! Nothing At All! I Lost & Said Good-Bye To 9 Loving Close Friends In The Mid 1970's Through The Mid 1996. AIDS Did Not Appear In The 1980's & Kill Off In The 1990's, It Had Been Causing The Deaths From At Much Speed In The 1970's. It Was So Very Fast In The Mid 1970's, So Fast. :( You Would Be At A Dinner With All Your Circle In The 1970's & Everyone Was Healthy & Great & Days Later One Would Get The Call They Were Feeling So Terrible & Doctor Said They Had Pneumonia & Taking Anti-Biotics & Within A Week They Were Dead. Then You Would Hear of Others & The Same Thing, Pneumonia & Died & Fast. Society As A Rule Thought It Was Terrible Pneumonia Had Killed Someone & To Realize Friends Were Dying Of What Was Later Coined AIDS.All Of Us Were All Talented, Gifted & Professionals In My Circle of Close Friends. I Was Spared & Only Some Years Later To Get Cancer & Had Surgery To Remove The Cancer. In 2019 I Am Alive & Everyone From My Youth & Later Has Died & I Can Not Say Good-Bye Anymore, I Only Want To Say Hello. It Shall Never Be What Could of Been, Could of Been. Today's Generation Thinks Swallow An HIV Pill & It Takes Care of Everything & Still They Get AIDS Because They Are Not Using Protection Every Time. I Hear & Read, They Don't Want To Be Bothered With Condoms & Safe Sex, They Take The HIV Pill So That Takes Care of Everything. Tragic How People Are In Such Denial, Ignorant Or Just Don't Give A Damn. Watching This For The 1st Time I Saw People I Knew Personally From Years Ago & Is A Emotional Roller-Coaster Because I Never Knew They Died of AIDS. The Obits Were Written Up They Died Of Cancer or Lung Disease. How The Media In The Newspapers & TV News Covered Up AIDS 24/7. LOVE TRUMPS HATRED 24/7 Always! Care About Your Fellow Person Always.
I lost all my gay friends in the 1980's. They were all barely 30. Most passed within 3 months of their diagnosis. I miss them all.
I lost a school friend to AIDS:Debby Ballantine RIP.Gone,never forgotten,sorely missed.
That horrible 15 years before when there seemed to be no hope. I would like to add my brother, Kevin Parker, 1961 - 1995, Figure Skater. My heart is still broken for all those lost souls. Be well in Heaven, under God's care.
This was a very moving and artistic tribute to beautiful and creative people the world has sadly lost. Thank you. The music is haunting.
This tribute is just heartbreaking. I am so very sad right now. Thank you for opening my eyes.
So much beauty, talent, pain, happiness, and courage.
My gorgeous nephew died at the age of 37 he was a beautiful person love him dearly we were so close it was 1995.rip Steve.xxxx
Freddie Mercury still adored by millions. This is intensely sad! The world is less beautiful.
I'm sorry you feel that the world is less beautiful,because this person died,but the world is beautiful no matter who dies,life is a gift from God,but we all must die,Jesus Christ set the example.and we must love life and Earth cause it's just for a little bit.but when the resurrection comes we will live for ever.
What I think is that if the private life of people stayed 'private', nothing of this would happen,I mean,long lists of beautiful talented men, who do not deserve to be labeled like a kind of condemmed species. First of all, they were just men! Mercy!!
Love him forever!!
Nina Mule Lyons I love freddie so many people died because of this terrible illness so sad
Amen!!! I still cry over this tragedy on this beautiful talented man and legend.
my head is bowed to all these great men!
I would like to add one more name to this memorial. David Rossiter, director of record label Etcetera and above all my friend
As an activist and a psychotherapist in Boston, Aids epidemic was a shock, as the numbers of men diagnosed and dying within 18 months of diagnosis was impossible to deal with. Most of the men who were clients were young enough to be my sons -- I wept at their passing, I anguished at the loss of such fine men who would cease to be in fact. The words from the play I NEVER SANG FOR MY FATHER helped me heal: Death ends a life but not a relationship. Rest in peace dear brothers. Those of us who lived on thru that devastating era, will never forget. Rest in Peace.
I'd like to add one more name to this amazing memorial. Tom Carabba, singer, and my husband.
RICHMOND94114 I m so sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathy and heartfelt prayers
@Nurhayat Leon Guerrero I believe most of us are drinking water from the same well. I am widowed since 1993 and I will never replace him. I miss him every day but also celebrate his life everyday. Betty White said it so well, "I've had the best, who needs the rest?".
I am so sorry for your loss!!! I so feel for you! I lost my husband last August. It was a very sudden heart attack, he died in my arms and I still don´t understand that he´s gone forever. We were together for 25 years. I still pray that he´d come back to me but he will not, never! I hope you can cope with your loss somehow. I´m still struggling. I hope you have friends around you to give you some comfort and that they are there for you. Now I feel like crying. I pray for your Tom as I pray for my Matti!! Yours Pekka from Finland
I am so sorry for your loss.
My thoughts are with you i know how much you must miss him
This was so incredibly moving and sad!
Extremely powerful yet this only scratches the surface in terms of the gay men that were taken.
Oh, the beauty, the takent , the suffering. Thank you for this video.
This is so beautiful and so so sad. I’m 58, so it hits me very hard. 💫💖💫
These boys were young. My heart breaks.
Impressive list. Some additions, all friends:
Rob Eichberg ~ Psychologist/Activist/Writer 1947-1995
Ray Underwood ~ Actor/Poet 1954 - 1991
Robert Perrault ~ Actor 1953 - 1992
Tom Bezzi ~ Writer 1951 - 1995
And for all the names that aren’t mentioned: you were extremely valuable! extremely talented! and extremely missed! even though it’s 35 years ago that my friends and me had on average 5 funerals/cremations every week to laid lovers, friends and members of our own community to rest, the missing will NEVER go away, we might have found ways to continue our lives but the loss of these highly skilled, creative and awesome men is something we have to carry with us on our lives journey and make sure we cherish their memories because it’s the least they deserve
Such tragic years. So many beautiful and talented friends we lost. Let’s never forget. Thank you.
For as long as these men are remembered for their contributions to life, beauty, art, and culture and for the joy they brought to a lot of people, their passing will not be in vain. While their passing is truly sad, I personally prefer to celebrate their life. This is how we should remember them all. I salute you all and I thank you all. The world owes you a great debt of gratitude.
So very tragic. Beautiful memorial. Thank you for honoring them.
So many lives. So much talent. R.I.P. Thanks to all of them for their art to us.
Yes this is so so sad! I lost a very good friend and roommate. He had a purple round mark on his lower arm. Then working at a hospital. A nurse who attempted a workshop, yes learning about what could trigger HIV. Approached him saying you should have this looked at....yes it was car-posy sacarcoma after all the tests. This was 1884 Larry died in January of 1986. I could not believe this was happening to such a vibrant person. He will always be with me🌈🌈🌺💞
All this talent. All this beauty...like flowers in the fall wind. I pray for each of these men.
So very hard to watch my generation pass by, but I felt compelled to honor them all and watch to the end. Yes, amazing talent lost. Imagine all the works the world never got to see.
Getting through this was tough. We’ve lost so much art so much music, so many beautiful words that will never be spoken.
Fred you're still a legend
Thank you for honouring them. Deep down inside, we are all the same; human being.
May I add the following names: Melvin Earl Brown, Counter-Tenor; John Young, Concert Pianist; John Stenson, Concert Pianist
Rodney Morgan Brown ..And Greg Emery...MD and member of the SF Symphony Chorus
Louis Potgeiter Dschingis Khan
Freddie Mercury.
@@sgsmozart Also some of the cast of the Finochios in San Francisco and performers in other clubs .
Freddie Mercury and Liberace.
too painful to watch...I lost friends I miss to this day...good people who only wanted to live and breathe..heart-breaking...
I can't seem to get through watching this. It just brings up so much sadness in me and also so much guilt for being a LTS - 30 years of seeing the grief and devastation of this horrible disease. Always questioning why I get to still be here. And we shall never forget - they will forever and always be in our hearts and minds. Beautiful souls - rest in eternal peace.
I feel you. I got through ten minutes of it and had to stop.Such a huge loss. So many good people lost to a horrible disease.
Your comment captures my own sentiments perfectly.
Bruce Bosch I don’t know you, but I want you to know you are not alone. I have lived with many of the same feelings you describe. So many friends and family that I miss every day, even now.
LTS = Long Term Survivor ( I had to google it)
Bruce, I was just mentioning above, the trend now is to believe we have complete control over our bodies, health. Just silly to me. Control is just an illusion. Glad ur here, that's for sure.
Absolutely tragic. So much talent and good people. May They All Rest in Eternal Peace ✌🏾
This is really well-made. I'm sharing it publicly today, World AIDS day. I appreciate the number of people, you really made a determined and time-consuming effort to collect.
One of the saddest days of my life was driving my friend Connell to look at caskets...for himself. He wanted a nice one, in case his parents who'd disowned him should happen to attend his funeral. They didn't. Rest in peace, friend...the world is a far less interesting place without you.
Wow! I lasted until 4:20 (out of 46:30). I will have to watch this in segments. These beautiful souls deserve to be seen and not forgotten. They brought so much talent and beauty to the world...Somber and touching. Know that you are loved, and Rest In Peace.
I still remember when I first heard that Tony Hamilton had passed away...I was devastated and deeply sad...I loved him from TV shows like "Cover Up" and "Mission: Impossible"...even from that terrible film called "Nocturna"...and I still use to dream of him frequently...
Tony and I loved in the same apartment building in West Hollywood. He was a very nice, handsome and talented man. Such a shame that he is gone. I still remember him seeing me in the hallway always greeting me with a huge smile. We lost so many wonderful people to this horrible, horrible disease.
I can't believe I'm writing this.
I didn't even know he died until I saw his face as the Cover photo for this video.
He was a very handsome man. But he did not have any snobbiness to him.
I'm a minority, not normally considered beautiful, and mostly ignored by many gay men. But he was kind to me. Lots of people do not know what a nice guy he was...
This is so sad I was lucky I got HIV in 1999 nearly passed with phenomena but the advance in druggs saved me just as well because a few years later my wife died of breast cancer and I was able to bring up my 3 young children who are now grown up . But I often think if HIV had of got me my kids later down the line would have been ophans omg but I lived got well and nursed my wife through her 4 year battle with cancer and yes I call myself one of the lucky ones I'm 60 now IV still got a life these poor guys were so young RIP XXXx
Same here
Aww God bless you. I'm glad you and your wife are well
Bless your heart.
Bless to never have had not luck to happen upon it. Wish you peace love and soul.
I am so sorry for what you went through. Also, your wife is still helping you in many ways with your children. Your so very lucky to have family who are there for you like you were for your wife. Sending prayers.
I truly appreciate the effort and the sentiment - I lived through it all - but the starbursts before each name make this IMPOSSIBLE , even physically painful, to watch.
My condolences to you and your family. We all will one day leave this earth sooner or later.
As Gen Z and a gay guy, I’ve heard about the aids epidemic but had no idea it was this bad. So many young souls left the earth too soon and no wonder countless more lost unknowingly of HIV curse. It was like a choice of living a happy gay life and face painful death or live a long miserable closeted life.
Seeing all these pictures; make me think about them as if every picture holds a story about their life journey, struggles with their sexuality and life.
My former brief love, and long term friend Avrom Schey.
This was an awesome tribute. RWG beautiful/talented men.
I love me some Rudolf N. I think he the most beautiful Dancer ever.
Heartbreaking. Not only to their family and friends but to humanity in general. Such a sad loss of talent and intellect. We lost so much that enrich everyone's lives. The loss is immeasurable.
Wow I sat through all of it to see all the actors and people that I was familiar with. You did a wonderful job with this and I know this takes a lot of time and work for I have done similar. It was nice to see several soap opera actors here as well. The only one missing is Terry Lester (1950-2003) who was Jack Abbott on Young & The Restless and also had a cameo in Airport 1970 as well as a show called Ark II. I saw you had included Dennis Parker on the porn star one but wish you had included him on this as well for I knew him more from his role on The Edge of Night working alongside with Joel Crothers who is shown here. Dennis also recorded a disco song in the 70s. All these people are truly missed and died way too young.
R.I.P. GOD bless all of them
There are also women who died of Aids. Amanda Blake from Gunsmoke.
Elizabeth Meyer Glaser, the beautiful wife of actor Paul Michael Glaser and mother of Jake.
Yes Amanda Blake died of AIDS. However, the title of the video included the words "Gay (or Bi or Closed) Men". That's why the following weren't included: Tennis Legend Arthur Ashe, Ryan White, ABC News Anchor Max Robinson, & Mrs. Glaser (wife of a "Starsky & Hutch" co-star), and others.
Jenny Gump too.
And so is her husband tony Richardson who gave it to her
As a home health aide in those days, with the virus, I tended over 70 people who soon died of AIDS. Each a sacrifice for everyone else. The suffering and loss still haunts me. It is a cruel injustice that we won't be remembered for what we really were.
Who are we to say who to love or how to live This discrimination will never go away People just hide it better So if anyone is treated badly for their choses my heart goes out to you RIP Brave souls I believe in you ❤
thanks you for making this beautiful shining light tribute video . and guys... thanks for living out loud your truth and shine super stars we still need your light . much love to you !!
Very difficult to watch for me. Several friends of mine are on this list - Paul Monette, Timothy Patrick Murphy (sweet Timmy!), Anthony (Tony) Hamilton ... scads of others. The loss is shocking, on so many levels.
I'm reading a book by Paul Monette right now. He was such a good writer.
Hey, Steve, didn't Paul Monette used to write movie novelizations? I think I have several of them from back in the day...
I wish I could have met Timothy Patrick Murphy. I appreciated his talent
I'm 66 and yes I was fortunate enough to live past it. I lost so many friends in San Diego and Laguna Beach in the early years. This video is a sad reminder of those lives that left us. So full of life and laughter. Thanks for sharing and that particular haunting music really gets to me. In Memory of Brad Gray, Richard Burn, Matt Davis, Keith Thompson and so many more of my friends.
I have never met a person that had full blown aids. I am so sorry for all your lost loved ones. Sorry for your pain in losing them.
I remember my wife, a nurse fighting aids, said that we are going to loose a whole generation of the most creative people on planet. I’ve watched 1/10 of this and I’m already saying how right she was.
Is there a Memorial like this one that includes men and women?
For those who haven't seen the movie 'and the band played on' or read the book I highly suggest you do. The song by Elton John at the end of the movie which is shown as a montage of those lost will have you in tears. Let us always remind the communities around the World that this fight is far from over and stop their interest from vanishing. Always keep talking about it!
What a labour of Love. Thank you
Why does this hurt me so much and make my heart sad.
Most of them did not go beyond 45
a nice heartbreaking tear-jerking stroll down memory lane. Thanks!
Despite the year born of each person portrayed in this lovely memoriam, the year they departed speaks volumes of what each went through! And we went through it with them, lest they be alone. (Thankfully).
I kept repeating to myself, "what a waste". These talented men could have brought so much to the world. 😢
Seu trabalho é precioso. Perdemos tantas pessoas que amamos e todas inesquecíveis. Jorge Rotta, penso sempre em você meu querido amigo.
I was a Critical Care R.N. at St. Vincent's hospital in Greenwich village., NYC in 70, i80,90 with highest male gay population in U.S. still now. Took care of hundreds of AIDS Pts during the worst of the crisis - we (doctors now) had no idea what it was as there was no name no diagnosis. They were dying within days of hospitalization, horrible, all young men. I will never forget many as I held their hands - some families disowned so they were alone.. My best friend has AIDS but with new immunosuppressants he is good so far. I
I have tears now as I recall many. R.I.P.
Thank you so much for this moving and powerful tribute. It personalizes the losses with faces attached to the names as well as the contributions they have made to the world. You have given their memories "life". We can never forget them.
Why did I cry through this entire video? So many talented people gone.
Wonderful tribute to so many lost over these years.
This tribute was divestIng to watch but thank you for honoring these incredible men and their contributions.
My brother Juan Carlos Rodríguez: 1982- 2019. His life has been ending since the beginning of 2019 and the last week of his life was the wost. Rest in peace. I miss him every day.😔😔
And Gia Carangi, the first Top Model
Awwwww. Freddie Mercury. I so wish I could resurrect you. 💘💘💘💔
Sandra Dalton me too
Me too makes me cry
There are no words to describe how much they are missed. Nyc streets are filled to capacity with people that have a fraction of the genius talent beauty or geniality that they came loaded with.
Absolutely
I remember in the late 80s, you rarely saw guys over 40 out and about, because they were gone. Even in a big city, it was difficult to get a doctor or dentist. Today, when I see an older couple out having dinner or holding hands, it is touching because there was a time when you never saw that. Rip friends. Xo
I'm 57 years old...and in the 80's and 90's I buried so many people I knew who died of HIV.
I am very glad that this illness did not affect me.
It was very difficult back then to make sure you didn't get infected. The people in the scene were dying like flies :-( Very bad memory!
I lost a very special friend from my old neighborhood. Rest in Peace Curtis Brown. Gone too soon
I hope this thoughtful memorial last many decades in the future so that those people in that time will know what a great human price was paid in this era.
To beautiful, To talented, To much talent missing to soon. You are all greatly missed. Thank you for all the sacrifices you made to make our life better and safer. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I love you all 🌈🌈🌈I'm crying right here, so painful those braves ones , may their souls rest in perfect peace.
Fleeting and rare special gifts of humanity. The world was a better place because of them.
So sad, so sad. Thank you, we must never forget.
