I remember being invited to attend the second of the first four national conferences on AIDS in the United States when Longtime companion came out; a time when I saw the suffering of some very dear friends and the reality of losing them. I was dealing with bring free and alone and out when Making Love came out. I spent 17 years with a man who could have been a twin emotionally and in some respects, physically, to Ennis in Brokeback Mountain. It's been three years now since he committed suicide rather than deal with being positive. I wonder how the movies will reflect what is going on in my life next. The film clip really made me think.
