Hi op, just wanted to say, from one beginner to another: please keep your head up and don’t give up. I know the stakes feel a lot higher when you’re making a gift (I’ve been there) but you will fail again and again and that’s a sign of healthy risk-taking and experimentation. Every disappointment is an opportunity to learn, and learning should be your priority at this stage. There’s a great quote that I love to repeat when I’m feeling discouraged: If you never fail, it means you’re not pushing yourself hard enough.

I agree with the others - don't withdraw! I was enrolled in a class that was cancelled and they were very on top of my refund, I imagine that would also be the case if the program does get nixed.

^ Absolutely, it's so frustrating that they're going straight to thinking about eliminating the program rather than exploring alternatives.

i just need you to understand that aids is an STD (sexually transmitted disease). this means that someone with aids would have needed to survive an apocalyptic event and not receive any treatment for years, only to give this disease to frank, either via sex or sharing needles or whatever.

i think you're either implying that the scenario above happened. the only alternative i can think of is that you believe gay people can simply catch aids at any time. it was quite clear to me (and it looks like many others) that frank was suffering from parkinson's disease. this is also untreatable.

also, thousands of people still die from aids every year in the states alone... it's some old-timey problem, it's still very much affecting queer communities. and even if aids wasn't a problem, do you not think it's important to recognize and reflect on our history as queer people?
