World AIDS Day
Yesterday was World AIDS Day. Even being a gay man, I can't say I've ever known someone that died from AIDS related causes. However it is ever present in the community. And being the age I am, I grew up with the onset and spread of this plague. I knew it in its early days when it was ravaging communities and cities and people were terrified and AIDS was a sure death sentence.
Today, it is manageable. Not pretty by any means, but manageable to a point, but with vicious side effects.
In other parts of the world AIDS ravages entire populations almost unchecked. Two million died in Africa this past year alone as a result of AIDS.
So we give pause today to remember. Here is a video about the AIDS quilt, remembering some of the victims of AIDS in this country.
God be with us.
