Rewatching this series reinforced my feeling that the characters, especially Hawk and Marcus, are victims of their times and circumstances. Judging them and their actions using contemporary standards misses the point. The finale drives that home. I’m a 1962 baby so am too young for firsthand experience with McCarthyism, the Lavender Scare, Vietnam protests, or extreme gay hedonism of the 70s. However I was just taking baby steps out of the closet when AIDS was recognized. Will never forget the cold terror I felt reading about what was termed contagious cancer among gay men (the AIDS term and identification of HIV would come later) mere days after my first full-on sex with my first boyfriend. Can definitely relate to Marcus’s been to too many funerals line. Can’t watch the end scenes at the Quilt without bawling because I was there many times. Turning a corner and coming upon a panel for family/friend/colleague/acquaintance is devastating. Still have difficulty understanding how both my husband and I remained negative. Three suggestions for essential gay heritage viewing if you haven’t seen them. It’s A Sin on HBO Max. The Netflix documentary El Dorado, Everything The Nazis Hate. And the classic The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert for disco-loving Bradley, particularly since a sequel is supposedly in the works.

Sobbed. But it’s over. Thank you for sharing your reactions to this show with us. It really is such an important part of history and it’s beautifully told by Matt and Jonathan ❤️

I was a nurse during AIDS crisis. I was only nurse who would care for guys. Others were afraid to do it. I just couldn’t let them die alone. How I didn’t get it I just don’t know. Fire Island was my hangout. Anyhow you should react to The Normal Heart on HBO. It is a beautiful film about the epidemic and gay rights. Stars Matt Bomer, Mark Ruffalo and Julia Roberts

I was bawling!! What a beautiful show. I can only image what it was like to actually live through that and they depicted the times so well. You both held yourselves together well in the finale - I was a mess!
