    Please Re-define the word Queer, and don't include these people. They will make you all look bad. Please exclude anything MAP or NABLA adjacent from the word Queer. Please take away anything that would be deemed gross, inappropriate and Pornographic away from this Term. Re-define it, or be honest about it's negative History starting with the 1 William S. Burroughs. Sorry, not sorry. Can we move Forward please? Queer Eye or Queer as Folk, but this type of Queer is higly Negative. Can we separate the 2? Is this how you want to define yourself? 🤔 ruclips.net/video/hd_aAtpZH2k/видео.htmlsi=bClAPwNAN5Om4rK4

    NEW FBI, MPA, PMRC and FCC Guidelines: It's really about Linguistics; let's Redefine the Q, as Questioning, so this never happens again. Use Queer Sparingly and use Examples that are Reasonable that don't make you look Bad and most of this applies to Cis, White Gay Men, the Queer, Pansexual and Polyamorous Movement who have really taken us back to the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's, Please Stop! Condom use and STD Check Ups should be Required. Stop making Gay, Bisexual, Lesbian, Intersex, Trans, Non-Binary and Gender Fluid people look Bad, by attaching your Fetishes to Our/Their Movement. Stop making Sex Workers look Bad, by attaching your Straight, White Cis Fetishes to Them and Their Culture and Identity. This is how we Fix things for what is and isn't Acceptable with/within/for LGBT+IA and Q Culture and/or Identity. He/Him, She/Her, They/Them and Ze, Zim and Zer are Good and Acceptable uses of Pro-Nouns, because they are Actual Pro-Nouns, but beyond that, Please Stop making up things that either don't Exist and are there to make us all look like Fools. Not sure about the term Dyke? That is beyond my Jurisdiction and Women that define themselves as Queer are never Inappropriate like the Men that do, so it is a Gay, White, Cis Male trait in order for Them to use Linguistics and Legal Theory and Queer Theory to get away with Inappropriate Behavior and Escape any Prosecution from the Law for Sex Crimes and Wrong Doing. Gender Theory is not Queer Theory, nor Intersectionality, so let's not Conflate the 2 or 3. Also, let's Never Attach the Pornography Industry to our Movement and make it completely Separate and never Associate with MAP or MAP Adjacent Groups. Kink, BDSM and Furry Culture are also Completely Separate, so let's not attach that to our Movement, still not to Condemn, Judge nor Condone, view from a Neutral Perspective. Leather and Mr. Leather type Uniforms are okay if Age Appropriate. What goes on behind Closed Doors or Private Property or between Consenting Adults 18+ is none of my Business. Nude Beaches on Private Property, away from a Population for 18+ is Acceptable. Please wear Condoms and get Checked for STI/STD's that is all we ask. So, hope these Guidelines put everything into Perspective, so we never let this happen again. Consent, Consent Consent! That will be the word of the day and will now be taught in Academia. What you do in Public, in front of Unconsenting Bystanders really says much about your Character or Lack there Of. The Dore Alley and Folsom Street Fair is a bad look. This is PR and Image and Cultural Management to not make yourselves look like Fools. Drag Queens are no Different than Clowns or Shakespearean Muses, so if it's Non-Sexual, PG Rated and Age Appropriate like 1990's RuPaul, Mrs. Doubtfire, Lady MAGA, the Country Music Awards and the Fully Clothed Disney Princesses in Drag, that's Fine. No Sexualized Dancing or Inappropriate Behavior in front of Children, that is All. Non-Sexual Nudity is okay for Protests, Men must wear something to cover their Genitals at all Time. Dancing in your Underwear Boxer and Boxer Briefs, Bikini and/or Swimsuits on a Float is okay, but not in a Sexual Manner. Please be Reasonable, especially when a Pride Parade is a Community Event and Family and Churches are involved. Save the rest for a Designated 18+ Area, Convention Center, Club or for After Parties. 21+ for the Hard Liquor, and please could the Older Generations set a better Example for the Younger Generations? 🤔

    This really takes us, the LGBT+ backwards and makes everyone lose respect for us. Maybe this was wonderful in the 1970's, but feels dated, hedonistic and excessive now. And you wonder why Gen Z gets irritated by the Boomer Generation. We brought back everything from the late 60's and 1970's that failed the first time around and decided to try it again from 2010 to now and look where we're at. Can we have a middle ground between Puritanical Pear Clutching or Excess, Hedonistic Perversion? RuPaul, Ellen, To Wong Foo, Hedwig, Will and Grace, Elton John and Queer Eye had everything figured out in the 1990's and 2000's and everyone loved us and this just takes us back. Forcing your Culture on everyone that they never consented to, is not a way to make friends and allies. Yes, there's a line between Art and Subversion and what's Art and just Pornography and Hedonistic Excess.

    Just finished watching this film tonight and was overwhelmed by the subject matter. Devastated and uplifted at the same time. It brought back so many memories and feelings from that truly unbelievable time in our history. I had a premonition that somewhere in the film I would see an old boyfriend from Denver from the early 80's who had moved to and then died in San Francisco. And there in one of the montages of obituaries was Daniel Sterling Weaver. Oh, what a beautiful boy he was. Oh, how he loved SF. Belated congratulations to David Weissman and Bill Weber, and all involved for a truly stunning documentary. Bravo.

    I watched this last night and I can't properly articulate the impact it had on me. I grew up in Philly and in the early 80's as a little girl I knew about AIDS- I thought (the benefits, the red ribbons, amfar, the vigils, the images from the news of what seemed like living ghosts that were covered in lesions and how they reminded me of holocaust images, everything that I think a lot of us only knew etc, etc) but, I didn't know THIS- the stories and faces and fear and community .. I felt like by watching this, I was learning about AIDS for the very first time. Seeing those obituaries. Hearing people say that all of their friends weren't alive anymore and how fast in the beginning it just swept through. I can't imagine what that would be like and yet it was happening just 3,000 miles away from me. These stories.. I just can't stop thinking about them. I wish everyone would watch this. It's a time in history that I did not know and I will be forever changed by it. I am so sorry if this is a terrible ramble, as I said in the beginning I truly can't articulate how much this film meant to me. Thank you.

      +bipolar bee Interesting. Lived in Philly all my life - As a 32 year old in 1982 (The Big Boom Year) - can say that - from my experience - for about 2 years just about everyone I knew lived in denial. For that brief period - most Philly natives told themselves "this is just happening in NYC or SF" or "avoid the promiscuous or men from those cities and you will be fine." Then, like a nightmare, the denial was pushed aside. My guy and I saw that everyone around us were dying or ill. Hard film to watch - but so important.

There were parts that brought me to tears, so many deaths of people in the prime of their lives. The government should have moved faster, both with money and drug treatments and trials. The people interviewed are amazing, and each ones gives their own extremely unique and personal perspectives. The way the community came together should be an example to our society today.
