I always tell them, watch "And The Band Played On," and see how the AIDS epidemic was handled by Reagan.

I was a kid when Reagan was president - I was aware of the AIDS epidemic, but growing up super rural, I knew nothing about the LGBTQ community. I think I was 12 when I saw that movie, and it blew my mind. My first book report was on Ryan White, and the failure of his administration.

I remember when a burglar in my city came across 2 women asleep in the same bed and killed them. We have come a loving way.

Reading “And the Band Played On” changed my entire political perspective when I was a young adult. I should watch the movie.

That movie has stuck with me since I saw it as a kid, and is an absolute core memory. If you don't have HBO, it's on YouTube.
