Pose captures true AIDS history. For those of us who rely on media to see what life was like in places hard hit by AIDS, this show accurately depictS life in those days 
 
Each episode begins with the infamous provenance “the category is”. Following these words, the lights hone in on the current ballroom act, who’s always strutting in glorious attire. It’s upbeat at first, but surviving the AIDS epidemic remains present in the backdrop of the protagonist’s lives. So, it’s the through line of honest and authentic stories rooted in history that truly takes the centre stage 
 
Pose not only tells queer history during an incredibly challenging period in modern times, but it tells queer history from a Black and Brown perspective. In other media, much of queer history, if taught at all, is often sanitised and whitewashed. But these stories are essential to grasping modern LGBTQ movements and where we’ve come to today 
 
I was only a young teenager in the early 80's, I remember the chilling and deadly government television ads, the posters on bill boards and full cover pages in the newspapers. My sheltered life in Pembrokeshire protected me from eye witnessing the true horror of the AIDS epidemic. We may never fully understand the struggles of our ancestors. Many of us rely on media to get a glimpse of what life was like in places hit hard by HIV and AIDS, like New York City. This makes media like Pose, accurate in their depictions of life during the epidemic, all the more compelling and meaningful
