...quilt was displayed again this year in Washington, to considerable crowds. Organizers announced that this might be the last time a space could be found large enough to contain the majority of the panels. I didn't go, out of laziness and some vile sense of been-there-seen-that. I can't imagine a world without AIDS. Gay people have been marked, although I disagree with neo-con gay activists who claim that AIDS has taught gay people responsibility, as if, prior to the plague, homos were all shiftless and madcap.
