From upcoming Episode 4 of HBO’s LOOKING – Watching the Folsom Street Fair from a distance, Patrick (Jonathan Groff) and Kevin (Russell Tovey) discuss the fine details of the famous San Francisco street fair.

I think this is an important perspective to keep in terms of the AIDS epidemic. Sometimes gets lost in the day to day.
From Jonathan Groff:
“There’s a lot of gay men from my generation that only know of AIDS as a thing of the distant past. I was born in 1985 in the thick of it, but didn’t live through it.
“We did a scene last week on the beach on Fire Island where we’re at a party, and lots of actors my age are thinking how surreal it is. If we had been there 25 years ago, most of us would be dead…
“(Author) Larry Kramer actually got emotional and left because he was so moved by all the young people celebrating.”

A bit of Saturday silly fun from hunky Jeremy Jordan (SMASH) and Jonathan Groff (GLEE). I’ve liked the song “Let Me Be Your Star” since I first heard it in the pilot of SMASH.
