In recognition of World AIDS Day, below is an article from the Bay Area Reporter about the new anthology “Children of Lazarus: The Forgotten Generation of Long-Term AIDS Survivors.” The book’s editor, Les K. Wright, and one of its contributors, Hank Trout, have written for The G&LR, and we've included links to pieces reflecting on gay life before AIDS.

There are moments when history tilts, not gradually but all at once, and the change is so abrupt, so without precedent, that those who survive it spend the rest of their lives trying to explain what it felt like – how the air itself seemed altered, how the light went out of familiar rooms.

This week marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Mattachine Society by seven men who gathered in the Los Angeles home of legendary gay rights activist Harry Hay. The occasion gives us all a good time to reflect on what the LGBTQ+ community has accomplished over the last three quarters of a century, and an even better time to pay tribute to those pioneering activists. Learn more about the Mattachine in an article for the LA Progressive written by past G&LR contributor Don Kilhefner, and in an article by Will Roscoe that was published in The G&LR’s “Origins” issue earlier this year.
