It’s about the people whosebodies, you know, these drugs could eventually get into. 00:55:45:2500:55:46:03 So the entire spectrum of issues that ACT UP deals with has justmushroomed. 00:55:53:2400:55:54:07 The healthcare system in this country has not worked equally foreveryone, 00:55:57:2500:55:57:28 and that was been illuminated for me personally as a white gay man indramatic ways, because women have always known this. 00:56:09:0400:56:09:14 I think it’s one of the reasons why lesbians in particular but women ingeneral have taken such an active role in this struggle. 00:56:16:1200:56:17:02 Part of the journey being withinACT UP is also understanding that right,but you come from privilege. 00:56:24:2800:56:25:12 These were people who were brought up, myself included, you know,you get sick, 00:56:28:0400:56:28:08 you get taken care of, your life is not written off. 00:56:31:0200:56:31:16 So imagine the shock when you turn around and you discover, what doyou mean me? 00:56:35:1200:56:35:23 There’s this entitlement, sense of entitlement that was actually provedto be very useful for the group because it really sparked. 00:56:43:1400:56:43:20 There’s nothing that gets anybody more angry than discoveringsuddenly that their entitlement is taken away. 00:56:48:1500:56:48:27 What I saw was the opportunity in ACT UP for social change.00:56:52:1300:56:52:15 What I saw was that we might be able to using AIDS as sort of a nexus00:56:57:2100:56:57:25 of all these problems that happen in society, that we could actuallyaddress some of this stuff and work toward changing society that way. 00:57:04:16
