@anarchedonia I came out 6 months before AIDS hit big in 1983. All the gay elders, who were supposed to teach me and watch over me, were suddenly dead. They were erased. I was abandoned. I promised myself I would be an available elder if I lived that long. (I thought it would go differently)
Positively shaking (and just about not crying) after being given a Gale of Waterdeep Cameo for christmas but I suppose I owe @TimDownie1 a powerpoint lecture now?
