(TIME-WARP) The Castro vs. AIDS: The '80s in Pictures!
San Francisco's gay-centric Castro was equal amounts thrilling and
frightening in the 1980s. While the neighborhood attracted LGBT people
from around the world, AIDS was decimating the population. Even as the
residents fought back, protesting for research and education, life went
on, and the Castro's 24-hour party never abated. In the following
pictures by Thomas Alleman, part of the "Dancing in the Dragon's Jaws: Gay San Francisco, 1985-1988" exhibit
at the San Francisco Public Library that opens on World AIDS Day, you
can see the men and women who lived, loved, and fought for their lives
during that heady time.
