MoonyReadsByStarlight | The Mountain Goats Albums as LGBTQ+ Books | Oops, everything's sapphic [CC] @moonyreadsbystarlight | Uploaded August 2020 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
I am Bek (they/them) and in for this video, I have chosen a couple of albums and songs by The Mountain Goats to analyze and find a gay book that fits its vibe. The criterion going in was LGBTQ+ books and somehow they all ended up being sapphic.

![Wrap-up Discussion 01 | HIV/AIDS History Topical TBR | Illness as Metaphor and Moving Politics [CC]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EfUDKQP70Qk/hqdefault.jpg "Wrap-up Discussion 01 | HIV/AIDS History Topical TBR | Illness as Metaphor and Moving Politics [CC]
I am Bek (they/them) and in this video, I discuss Illness as Metaphor and AIDS and Its Metaphors by Susan Sontag, as well as Moving Politics by Deborah Gould. I discuss a lot of the big points that I took from these in order to better understand the AIDS epidemic in the US. This includes discussion of ableism, pandemics, AIDS, history of the LGBT community in the 80s, and ACT UP.
