I'm not old enough to remember the height of the AIDS epidemic, but I remember Matthew Sheppard. I was the only one in my family who didn't shit on Ellen Degeneres when she came out on national TV. And I'm a bloody history nerd. So what I didn't witness, I took the time to learn about.
So much of our history has been erased, whitewashed, and sanitized.
Including the origin and history of Pride.
So if you don't know the history, pull up a chair. Elder siblings gonna talk abit.
