Today is a day to mourn the losses we have faced as a community and a day to celebrate the gains we have made. Close to 30 years ago, AIDS was killing us. Admitting you were ill meant censure, job loss, and isolation. There are still challenges to this disease. There is still social stigma. But there is also federal funding, despite the last few years of abstinence only blockades, there is more hope than there was. In some ways our hope has been a stumbling block. The new generation doesn't respect the depth of consequences that AIDS can have for them because they haven't watched their friends dying.
Join Boulder County AIDS Project tonight for their World AIDS Day Concert, Boulder Dinner Theatre. Contact Kate Hibberd for details kate@bcap.org.
