Be my ep 11-converted

It doesn’t matter how many times I watch this! I always wanna see it one more time! I have been a part of the 🏳️‍🌈 community long enough to live through watching friends die of AIDS in the 80s. 

That scene in the hospital where no information could be given to a non-relative, just punched me in the gut. 

I saw partners thrown out of the hospital by homophobic family members and given no rights to even sit with the patient. In some cases, there was no family member and yet the medical staff would not give our patient information or allowed to make medical decisions. 

 One friend, a group of us helped stage a distraction, so that my friend could see his partner and be with him. 

Those was no protection and no rights given. It was a very dark time in our history. We lost a whole generation! I can still see the faces of those friends we lost, and the health problems that many are still living with today. It still hurts!

 To all those we have lost…. I wish you had lived long enough to see how far we have come and how we who survived, owe it to the community to continue the fight! This is real life! 

 🟰 Equality for ALL!
