#UnitedInAnger #NURelSex "AIDS revealed the problems of our society." True with today's pandemic too - times of crisis reveal the ways that society isn't working. We're even discovering some of the same failings, like lack of access to healthcare & ineffective leadership

"nothing gets anybody angrier than discovering suddenly that their entitlement is taken away" shows how tolerance can fail (like Love the Sin explains) bc its conditional - must be quiet & conform, can't speak up about injustice.

ACT UP's advocacy for more diverse clinical trials is still so relevant!! They're still far too white and too male. Shows how important their work was for everyone, not just the LGBT community

@Sasha40655594 #UnitedInAnger #NURelSex Yes!! Protest art is so creative and powerful. Also cool how every movement has its own visual style. Today we've got social media infographics, the 60s had that acid test typography

#NURelSex The intersectionality of #UnitedInAnger movement with women's rights, abortion, healthcare, etc reminds me of the necessity of intersectionality with BLM today: women's rights, environmentalism, education/prison reform, etc

#UnitedInAnger #NURelSex Love the Sin notes the harms of othering but can it be effective when the opposition is truly bad? ACT UP perpetuated us vs them: "we are the ones who are fighting for people's lives & [the church] are murderers." ACAB now also feeds into that division

#UnitedInAnger #NURelSex "This is not about people's rights to practice their religion individually. This is about an institution" - an example of how the guise of religious freedom is used to justify exclusion and the integration of religion in govt

@LissetLazcano I agree that AIDS drugs needed to be approved faster but it's an interesting balance because we've seen the danger with approving drugs too quickly as COVID treatments released without adequate study have proved harmful

[Maya @Maya00152170]

#UnitedInAnger #NURelSex FDA not paying attention to AIDS illustrates Love the Sin's point that religion is an integral part of govt despite theoretical church-state separation. Their failure to acknowledge the gay community comes from religion

@DanielJBachman #UnitedInAnger #NURelSex Humanization is so important! Princess Diana is a good example. Also, how with BLM Black people are fighting to be seen as the full, complex, multifaceted humans they are, rather than just a threat

@Maria67046329 @labbott95 It's definitely very easy to feel hopeless and ineffective, but incremental progress is still progress! Also makes me wonder what other strategies could be more effective in creating more dramatic and longer-lasting change.

the insane price of AZT reminds me of how the cure for hep C, another disease that disproportionately affects already disadvantaged populations, is similarly out of reach
