Abstract

To be honest with you, if I thought about AIDS, it was like for five minutes. I went to all the fund-raisers—the dance-athons, the walk-athons—because it was fun to go with your friends and have a good time. We knew it was for AIDS, but we never thought about that. In the club scene in L.A., we’d go to a club on a certain night and AIDS Project Los Angeles would be passing out buttons, safe sex stuff, and condoms. We’d take them, but never really thought about it.
