I’ve watched ‘It’s a Sin’ twice now. I don’t even have the words. I’ve never written a review for any film or tv series before; but that is how much this show moved me. I laughed, cried and at times felt genuinely like my heart was going to explode. It makes me so angry that growing up in the 90s/00s, we didn’t learn anything about this. We didn’t learn anything about queer people, we didn’t learn about stonewall, we didn’t learn about how AIDS impacted this community in the 80s and early 90s. And that makes me so angry! Everyone should know this story, as well as how poorly these poor boys/men and others at this time were treated. To be honest there’s still not enough education around HIV/AIDS, but we have moved forward positively in many ways. I can’t even imagine having lived through this, and to those who survived, but lost friends: we ❤️ you. I hope you see how far we have come (thanks to you and your bravery), and that you know how thankful we all are (although I wish you hadn’t had to experience this - no one should have had to experience this). If you can: watch this show. It’s joyfully heartbreaking in all the ways it should/needs to be 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️
