And I can't help but wonder how many of those men we've lost in those 25 years.
25? 1989 - 1991 is 2 years. However, the thread is titled 15 years before Brokeback, so do you mean between 1989 - 2005?
Or maybe I just need to learn to like coffee and drink it in the morning.
On a more serious note, I do agree with you Jeff. Whenever I read or watch something on the past of the gay community, I often wonder what all those lives lost could've accomplished.
