My cousin to whom I adored and miss so much, died from Aids but in her eulogy was reported that she died from pneumonia. She was not gay, she was newly married to an ex IV drug user turned counselor. Which is how they met, because you see my cousin had her doctorate in psychology at the treatment facility from where they both worked, but at that time in the early 90's no one with Aids was associated with straight people. Aids was still considered the gay disease and because of that the family made the decision to state pneumonia and not Aids, my aunt (her mother)said Rhonda had done so much wonderful and great things in her young life that she did not want her to to be remembered in negative light. Seems like a lifetime ago, miss you Cuz, you are still my favorite person.

I had reservations watching this but I ended up binging the entire series. It was like watching my twenties all over again. It was a good night of refection for me. Even though I didn't have a lot of people close to me who fell victim to HIV/AIDS my boyfriend at the time found out he was HIV+ a couple years into our relationship. His brother died of AIDS during the early years leading my boyfriend to more drinking and drugging. It was a miracle he survived the hardest years until about a year ago. We're better as people to a degree but the hate back then is no different from what we're seeing today. It's all taught from home. We all need to remember the dark times in history to go forward.

Very turbulent and sad time. One day a friend at the gym was healthy and then dying a month later. Called "a sin" it started in Africa as I recalled when the virus jump from apes...So remember my LA MD and friend Dr Pearl F McBroom inviting me to have lunch in '82 at a Marina del Rey Restaurant to discuss HIV/AIDS.
There were men on the streets hollering and crying, "I have aids." No one knew what to do.. One of my clients was ill, not getting better and Pearl saw him immediately then educated me.

I was a closeted gay Mormon boy at BYU in Utah in 1981. In 1982 I went home to San Francisco California, and came out of the closet. By 1983, I was convinced I would be dead soon. I knew dozens and dozens of young men die in the 1980s in the SF CA Bay Area. But itās 2021, I am still here. How and why I survived, I do not know. So looking forward to this mini series.

I cannot recommend 'It's A Sin' enough. What an emotional roller-coaster ride! So far, the best thing I've watched this year. LA!!!
