The 1980s and 1990s, the height of the AIDS crisis in the United States, was decades ago now, and many of the stories from this time remain hidden. This is one journalist's - gay and Catholic himself - compelling picture of those quiet heroes who responded to human suffering when so much of society told them to look away.

Beautiful Storytelling
Revisado: 03-10-24
Through rich and beautiful storytelling, this book provides insights into those who were called to live and carry out God’s grace to those most in need – people living with and dying from AIDS. As someone that came out slightly after the height of the AIDS epidemic, I realized how uninformed I was about the role of the Church during this period and the angels that provided ministry to my community. I was lifted to read about their bravery, authenticity, love, care, compassion and how they made choices that were, at times, in conflict with the institution. Well done. I hope there is a follow-up book with more interviews from others. Highly recommend.

The most important issue in a gay man’s life is not “coming out”, but coming to terms with the invalidating past. Despite the progress made in recent years, many gay men still wonder, “Are we better off?” The byproduct of growing up gay in a straight world continues to be the internalization of shame, rejection, and anger - a toxic cocktail that can lead to drug abuse, promiscuity, alcoholism, depression, and suicide.

Solid Read
Revisado: 04-04-22
While I've read and don't disagree with some criticisms of this book, there is definitely solid content in it for many. As I listened, I couldn't help but think of either my own experiences or those in my life. Does it apply to every gay man? Of course not. But I do think it offers some solid observations in why queer men are the way they are + a dose of advice for healthier living and more fulfilling relationships. I reread the ending 2x because of its value and applicability to me.
