The AIDS Epidemic’s First Visible Decade
The AIDS epidemic has perhaps had a larger impact on queer life than any other single event or phenomenon in the last quarter-century. Though a politicized issue for gay and bisexual men moreso than lesbians and trans people, those very men have often acted as the face of queer activism; for this reason, much of the coverage of queer-centric activism of the eighties and early nineties (though not the activism itself; the invisibility of lesbian and trans activism is a major point of contention for many historians) centered the AIDS crisis.
