History of Feminism

The first time I ever put a needle in my arm I got a lecture you wouldn't believe. They guided me away from the worst aspects of the street, I remember a young Gay couple using a knife defending me from a couple a pimps, who thought I was free game because I wasn't 'working'
The stories, the family rejection, the rapes and abuse at home, the things that drove them to the street are horrific. They had no were else to go. The lucky ones would find a decent minded sugerdaddy who would care for them a while.

In those days, as I said it was right before HIV, actually it was among us, but we didn't know-- we were so ignorant, we knew nothing. There is a gay poster here who is often very angry-- I want to ask him if he survived that time, because the loss was staggering, and I've I had lost nearly everyone I loved or knew I'd be pissed too. That it continues to happen makes me sick.
