Totally agree. I found this viewpoint terrible. And shameful. And about the teacher's inability to connect, to accept. I really resonate with your thought about the confusion of queerness.
This stanza just reveals so much of the narrator and not in a good way -
Each darkening bruise precise as a writer’s word, Saying, at last, who you were– exactly And to anyone who would listen.
Why on EARTH would dying of AIDS tell anyone exactly who someone is?????????????????????? I find that sentiment to be....so wrong that it hurts me to read it.
Perhaps my own dead friends are making me read this incorrectly?
