“People don’t want to talk about AIDS. People don’t want to acknowledge that that was a thing. Sometimes they don’t even know that that was a thing, which is terrifying, because it was only… what, 20, 30 years ago? It has entirely changed our political climate, and it’s literally changed the direction of queer rights, and some people have no idea. People say, ‘You don’t see any old gay men because they’re too scared to come out’ – no, it’s because they’re dead.
“That’s the kind of stuff that I’m passionate about. but until you watch something like that and realise that it’s important, it’s hard to entice people in to that kind of learning. And it’s the same with trans history – a lot of people, unless they already have that passion there, [think] it’s not interesting. People will look at a thumbnail and think, ‘Nah, boring’. But once you watch something like that, and once you realise how important it is, you get so hungry for it.”
