Mary and George, Young Royals season 3, Taylor Swift Eras Tour, or Hamilton Sing A Long. I want a Benji and Rizzo musical edition 🤩.

Fun fact: The AIDS quilt squares were real squares from the original quilt (including Roy Cohn's). Fellow Travelers was lent them for the finale. Studies show that if the government had taken HIV seriously from the beginning, hundreds of millions of lives globally would have been saved. Screw the homophobic politicians (my hatred for Ronald Reagan knows no bounds) who did nothing/actively harmed HIV/AIDS research, because the people who were primarily affected by HIV/AIDS were gay men. Hawk saying what he does at the gala is more significant than people think. He knows it'll start rumors at the very least. Especially once Lucy files for divorce. He's already decided he's going to stay with Tim when he says it. Not to mention, Hawk will suddenly seem to be living, or at least spending all his time in the gay district of San Francisco instead of going to Milan. That's after openly attending a benefit with an HIV positive man. People will jump to conclusions quickly. I think the moment Lucy realized hers and Hawk's marriage was beyond saving was when she saw that Hawk had been sleeping on a cot at Tim's hospital bedside. I'm sure it made her recognize that Hawk had undoubtedly never shown her that kind of devotion in 30 years. She deserved someone who loved her the way she could now tell that Hawk loved Tim. I sobbed sooooo hard during the "I'm innocent" scene. As someone who has trauma from growing up in a fundamentalist religion, the, "I spent most of my life waiting for god to love me," line was moving in the book, but it hit so much harder in the show. Cishetnormative society ruined so many lives. The series is much better than the novel, imo (though I still recommend the book). The show was incredibly personal to me. I spent much of my teen years in the hospital with my friends and acquaintances with HIV/AIDS, and have experienced many of those moments with positive people firsthand. Almost all of my grandparents worked in the federal government during the McCarthy era too. A couple of them were good people and allies, but unfortunately the most prominent members of my family (and my family is still pretty prominent in certain areas) were ardent McCarthy supporters, and are still widely known as bastions of right-wing politics. {I know this comment was TLDR. Sorry.}

Thank you so much for commenting! I did take the time to read that and love seeing where your heart was when watching this series. That's so cool about the quilt and yeah, F Homophobes! Hawk was an interesting hero/anti-hero for this series and I'm glad we got to experience his journey
