Veterans of the Culture Wars

A    L    O    H    A  !
" But 
there’s nothing wrong 
with old age 
that a curious mind, 
an 
active life and 
a glass of wine 
with a friend 
cannot cure. "

These people suffered
 for being different 
in a way that people today 
cannot comprehend.

The culture they grew up in
called them sick, evil,
& worse. 

Most were 
estranged from
(or unknown to)
 their families.

They showed 
real courage
standing up 
for each other. 

They changed the way 
the world
looks at Diversity
and Human Rights. 
THIS generation
that we are talking about.

We all live the freedom 
that they won. 

They paid enormous
economic,
emotional,
& legal costs.

They nursed their
 closest friends
who died horribly
in the first nightmare years
of the AIDS Epidemic.

They wear no medals.
They draw no pensions.

But can't we see
that at least
they live with 
D I G N I T Y
that they have
 certainly earned
for others - 
for us?
