It's A Sin
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times....to be gay.
WOW! I love the Pet Shop Boys.
No spoilers here, but just to be clear this show is not for the feint of heart.
I watched 'It's A Sin' with my best friend. We both came of age during the AIDS crisis. We shared memories and stories about friends and acquaintances. Some of them are still here with us. Some of them we have lost.
I grew up on the other side of the pond from where this story was told. I went to college at Cornell in 1981. I moved to Los Angeles briefly in 1985. Then I lived in Washington DC from 1986 until 1991. At some point in my life I ran into, lived with or had sex with all of the characters portrayed here. Somehow, I managed to survive.
It's A Sin is an evocative, thoughtful and timely reminder of what people went through then, and are going through now.
