Had I known about it I would have been there to remember those we’ve lost. It’s not so great to read the event was used as a political platform instead of a time of remembrance and reflection.

There are other organisations in the State doing HIV/AIDS work and QuAC need to face the fact that they’re not going to get their funding back from this government. They should just concentrate on their strengths instead of pointing the finger at others doing good work and trying to diminish their efforts and ostracize themselves. It’s time to move on.

I am not a young gay guy living in inner-city Brisbane and I don’t pick up all the gay papers all the time to read about all of the wonderful health campaigns that QuAC is (or was) conducting. I do have to say that it was good to see the World AIDS Day ads on the backs of buses the last couple of years though. And I think ads on TV communicate to a lot more people than ads in a gay rag.
