Marker Killjoy: 本期节目探讨了20世纪80年代女同性恋在艾滋病危机中提供的互助和团结。我采访了Andrew Ti,我们一起回顾了这段历史,重点关注了个人故事和集体行动。许多女同性恋者冒着生命危险,为艾滋病患者提供护理、药物和支持。她们的行动超越了正式的医疗体系和政府机构,展现了非凡的勇气和奉献精神。她们的努力不仅帮助了艾滋病患者,也挑战了社会对艾滋病和LGBTQ+群体的歧视和偏见。 我们还讨论了在艾滋病危机期间,正式和非正式的救灾之间的关系。非正式的互助网络在应对危机方面发挥了关键作用,弥补了正式救灾体系的不足。 此外,我们还探讨了天主教教会在艾滋病危机中的复杂角色。一方面,教会的一些成员为艾滋病患者提供了宝贵的支持和护理;另一方面,教会的官方立场和教义却加剧了对艾滋病患者的歧视和偏见。 最后,我们也谈到了艾滋病对女性的影响,以及如何纠正对女性在艾滋病危机中作用的忽视。 Andrew Ti: 我同意Marker Killjoy的观点,这段历史中女同性恋的互助和团结行动至关重要。她们的贡献常常被忽视,但她们的行动在帮助艾滋病患者、挑战社会偏见和推动社会变革方面发挥了关键作用。 在艾滋病危机期间,许多女同性恋者自发组织起来,为艾滋病患者提供护理、支持和资源。她们的行动往往是非正式的,但其影响却非常深远。 此外,我还想强调的是,在艾滋病危机中,正式的医疗体系和政府机构的反应迟缓和不力,这使得非正式的互助网络变得更加重要。 最后,我们也应该记住,艾滋病危机不仅仅影响了男同性恋群体,也影响了女性和其他群体。我们需要更加全面地了解这段历史,并向那些为抗击艾滋病做出贡献的人们致敬。
