Pertinent...

I've blogged about this before, but here we are again.  Sometimes it gets difficult to find publications pertinent to this blog.  This was never easy.  I wanted to post about being a HIV+ Gay man living in rural Oklahoma.  Now, it's also about someone 50+.  

Now, unless it's about an ethnic/racial group, writing about Gay men is a non-starter.  Writing about anyone not appearing ethnic isn't high on the list either.  There's the occasional piece on aging with HIV, but that's usually to discuss comorbidities.  All the articles on HIV in the rural U.S. written in the last decade probably wouldn't fill a midweek newspaper, sales advert. 

I know, I'm ranting a little.  But with all this talk of inclusion in representation, they left something out.  For all this alleged contemporary inclusion, there's a lot of exclusion.  It seems I'm in all those things on the out list again.  Maybe people like Larry Kramer should've just stayed quiet & let this thing run it's course.
