In 1990, a groundbreaking effort by musical artists sought to combat the silence and stigma surrounding the AIDS epidemic. The resulting tribute album to legendary composer Cole Porter was evocatively titled Red Hot + Blue, capturing both the joy and melancholy that accompany love during turbulent times. Blending memoir and cultural history, author John S. Garrison recalls his coming out at the height of the AIDS crisis alongside the music industry's first major response to the epidemic.
