The thing is, AIDS was an absolute scourge to the gay community of the 70’s and 80’s. Out of all the chorus boys in Mel Brooks, Al Fosse works, etc. all are gone except maybe 2 people.
The East Village in NYC was wiped out. Gone. Awful

What a time that was. Seriously. The theater and fashion community lost so many, and it’s been over 20 years, so the memory has faded. I remember being so afraid…
