if you’re gay, any familiarity whatsoever with community issues and cultural history leads to an investment in the wellbeing of people with HIV & AIDS. so allyship with the chronically ill ought to be a given, yet ableism is still rampant in these spaces

it’s a good essay! it references a lot of foundational queer texts which i thought made it easier to understand his concept of compulsory able-bodiedness. it isn’t terribly long either, which i appreciate
