This is a powerful commemorating and affirming picture book about how HIV changed everything about gay men's lives. Just as it infected far too many of our bodies, HIV permanently altered how we live, how we love, how we have sex, how we see ourselves and others, and how others see us. Yet out of this horrible plague arose images capable not only of provoking heartbreak, but of inspiring righteous rage, awakening us to the beauty of gay life, and giving us the power to change the world for the better. Positive Pictures collects a breathtaking array of photographs chronicling the HIV/AIDS epidemic and its aftermath. Editors Paul Schulz and Christian Lütjens draw from three decades of images to paint a portrait of a community: a world of sex, art, tragedy, anger, protest, breakthroughs, and triumph. This deeply moving combination of pictures and words is heartbreaking, moving and inspiring, and should be required reading for all gay men!
