way he went and um. natural. mercury. homophobia. gay kristailnacht. rent. tested for aids. in 2017. got it.

right so like i said. my mom’s cousin isn’t w/ us anymore.
the way he went was natural in that. he went from........yes........HIV. oh............ which apparently is a sad. illness? condition? disease? sorry i don’t know the correct term.
he was gay. i knew that i’ve known that for a long time. and of course that didn’t matter to me. like ok. that’s cool. at family functions he never brought anyone.

just like freddie mercury. well ok. not ‘just’ like him. 1. mercury was bi and 2. he died from AIDS. which actually. i was reading up on it and HIV can turn into AIDS.

he was born in um. ‘53. and evidently. his being gay mattered to his father my........um great uncle. i won’t detail cause well it’s that terrible. but yeah um...........his father was homophobic.
he was out to. everyone it seems like. and others. well they once broke into his house..........that’s all i remember from the article. and all i want to. just bc of that bc he was gay. this i think happened in ‘93. and he got hate mail............again. won’t detail.

it’s kindof like the gay kristalnacht in a way. but not exactly. [night of breaking glass november 1938. berlin.]. [btw. the war started in 1939 in berlin. and i only know that cause of cabaret.].

his being gay didn’t matter to my mom. he was her fave cousin..........um. wow.

it’s like RENT. in that. at least one of the characters in it had AIDS.

oh right. about 4 or 2........or 3 yrs. ago i was tested for AIDS and i don’t have it. Megan [she’s my dr.] got to talking about STIs and rape..........and.........sex. and so i got tested for it. yeah so be careful everyone.
