Who's To Say What Would Have Happened

I Think There's A Tremendous Sense Of Complacency In The Lgbt Community. Aids Has Lost The Edge Of Horror It Possessed When It Swept Through The World In The '80s.

It Made Me Realize The Life Of It, The Discipline Of It, And The Joy Of That Discipline, Where It Was All We Did.
