I recently came across an insta post about how women stepped up to take care of dying gay men during height of AIDS crisis. I would love to read more about this. The book can be non fiction, well researched fiction, semi/full autobiography. I am also open to tv show or movies. Set in any country.
I have ‘And the Band Played On’ on my TBR but I think that is more around government and medical community response than about community coming together to help.
Thanks in advance.

All The Young Men by Ruth Coker Burks
“All the Young Men” by Ruth Coker Burks has been on my TBR for a while. It’s a memoir of a woman who finds herself compelled to care for young men dying of AIDS in Arkansas.
I made a post about this a couple months ago, lots of suggestions:
