As a straight girl all I can do is admire the strength of people from the LGBT+ community and offer my heartfelt support and be part of driving positive change for everyone to live safely and happily. On a side note the band's music has helped me so much with my depression and bpd; so great to see you return. 💙

I bet Petshop Boys are proud of this version of their song, listening to this song now when I can understand the lyrics is even more beautiful, back when I was a kid and didn't understand English their song was amazing but now is even more heart touching, Years and Years have made a beautiful cover out of it.

This show made me feel so much. Utter glee at the joy that these wonderful people had, the strength of their friendships, the way they took their talents and did what made them feel good. But also the pain and suffering that having such deep connections can give you when the world around you isn't the one for you. I can't imagine how conflicting and also isolating it must have felt, even with such friendships, to be who these characters were, and the many other Ritchies and Jills and Roscoes and Collins and Glorias and Ashes. That scene of Ash alone in the corridor of the Pink Palace breaks my heart every time. After watching this series I wish I could find all of my friends and give them the biggest hug, and thank them for accepting me as I am. Stranger, if you are reading this, I hope that you too can feel the love of friendships such as these, but that they are not tainted by the pain that they went through.

I have just watched this show and it brought back so many bitter sweet memories of those days. Heady and care free, so much fun and then AIDS hit like a nuclear bomb. The pain, the abject denials, the persecution, and make no doubt about it it was vicious persecution, by the ignorant and bigoted. The complete and total lack of support, the stigmatisation of having to declare on travel documents etc. that you didn't have HIV. I related to every single second of the performances. The portrayals brought back people I once knew and who are no longer with us, taken so young. I lost many friends to this horrible disease and I still have friends, the lucky ones you may say, who are living with it to this day nearly 30 years later kept alive by medication and about all a compassionate understanding. Watching this it brought tears to my eyes again and again and the pain of loss and memories long embedded in my mind resurfaced.
Unless you lived through this period it is difficult to visualise just how cruel and devastating AIDS was and it lingers on to this day. I will never comprehend why human beings can be so hateful
and downright cruel to each other.

One thing about Olly, the singer, is that you can clearly understand what he's singing, he doesn't chew the words and that's wonderful for a singer
