The Normal Heart, set during the early years of the AIDS epidemic, is the impassioned indictment of a society that allowed the plague to happen, a moving denunciation of the ignorance and fear that helped kill an entire generation. It has been produced and taught all over the world. Its companion play, The Destiny of Me, is the stirring story of an AIDS activist forced to put his life in the hands of the very doctor he has been denouncing.
This taught me something important about AIDS:the only way it ceases to be a news story is this-you, or someone you care for, gets it.
Try to imagine if you can, the individual horror.The hospital. The blood.The feeling that this was life's final prize for having been homosexual. (查看原文)

太多泪流满面的段落。这不只是一种疾病，更是整个社会对同性恋建立在冷漠基础上的霸凌。 我想我能理解为什么Larry Kramer变得那么周身利刺，炮轰所有盟友：Cause we're not doing enough! We're not angry!
