This part of my response to an article about the fight for ending HIV in the South has discrimination of race, poverty, and sexuality in the way. This problem reminds me of Eva Hayward’s Don’t Exist, and how the lives of black queer people in the South have been looked over for years. The black queer people that are affected by HIV are continuously living outside of humanism.

Policing Black Bodies. Did they ban Anne White in 1985 for wearing a white suit?———-On Aug. 24, Bernard Giudicelli, the head of the French Tennis Federation, said the French Open was going to introduce a dress code because “sometimes we’ve gone to far.” The “we” he was talking about was Williams, whose catsuit outfit, he said, “will no longer be accepted.” “One must respect the game and the place,” Giudicelli said, suggesting that Williams does neither—a white, male tennis bureaucrat trying to police the greatest active tennis player’s body, ridiculous in his attempt at imposing an old institution’s power dynamics over the woman who has defeated everyone in her path.
