Excellent- More about Forget Burial: HIV Kinship, Disability, and Queer/Trans Narratives of Care
In the 1980s and early '90s, when AIDS was killing LGBTQ people, lovers, strangers, artists, and community activists came together to take care of each other in the face of state violence. This book explores how early HIV care-giving narratives shape how we understand our genders and disabilities today, and how these kinships continue to inspire how we have sex and build chosen families. It unearths HIV community newsletters, media, zines, porn, literature, and even vampires, bringing together early HIV care-giving activisms with contemporary disability movements.

In the 1980s and early 1990s, a tragic period marked by the devastating impact of AIDS, queer and trans individuals faced a profound lack of government care and support. The devastating toll of the disease led to a collective response from lovers, strangers, artists, and community activists who came together to provide care and support to one another in the face of state violence and indifference. This book, in exploring the histories of these care-giving kinships alongside ongoing queer and trans movements, reveals the profound ways in which early HIV care-giving narratives continue to shape our understanding of gender and disability. The queer and trans care-giving relationships that emerged in response to the HIV pandemic continue to inspire and shape our contemporary approaches to sex, family formation, and self-determination. By unearthing a wealth of materials such as HIV community newsletters, media, zines, porn, literature, and even vampires, Forget Burial weaves together the legacies of long-term survivors and those we have lost with ongoing movements for queer and trans body self-determination. In doing so, it challenges the notion of burying these important histories and highlights the ongoing relevance and significance of these kinships in shaping our collective future.
