Wow, what to say here, it gave me like two and a half minutes, and there's years of things to say.

In the aftermath of the Stonewall uprising and before the desperate fight against AIDS,

there's an all too often overlooked decade of our movement.

But that decade, the 1970s, is an essential piece of the puzzle

if we're going to understand how we got from Stonewall to a full scale

all hands-on deck, national battle to confront the AIDS crisis, and how we got to where we are today.

The 1970s was a transformative decade.

It was also a decade that began with a promise of liberation.

And ended with so much work left to do.

Suppose your child came to you when he said,

Mother, Dad, I am homosexual.

I'm no need a way really, thank you, we couldn't have done it without you.

I close to you, that as Terry, he was to save the fight alongside you,

gain liberation, so come closer and close, alright?

It was the decade I came of age.

Fell in love for the first time, found myself, lost myself,

and ultimately began to get my bearings as a gay man in a Stonewall world.

So like, please, if you don't want to remember something or dive into something,

obviously Eric, I hope you would know that you can say,

I don't want to talk about that or redirect it in a way that you feel comfortable.

There is nothing that I would agree with.

In this season of Making Gay History, I'll share some of the moments
