It's June. Most of the men I came up with are gone, taken by AIDS while a government that wouldn't say the word looked the other way.

They started this fight at Stonewall, in drag. Now the same machine is coming for trans kids and drag queens with "protect the children" stamped on the side.

So I wrote down their names, and what I owe them, and what I'm not going to watch happen again.
