Remembering

On the fifth anniversary of 9/11, some looks back—and forward:

“What We Must Remember”—Lambda Legal’s Kevin Cathcart emphasizes the struggle of gay survivors who lost a partner five years ago.

Arianna Huffington remembers how we all bonded and strove to move progressively forward right after 9/11. And how that’s changed.

In NYC, you can get an artful rendering of how things used to look. It’s kind of nice.

The folks at MTV offer up an editorial on "5 Things We’ve Learned Since 9/11."

The NY Times reviews the plans for the buildings to finally be erected at Ground Zero.

AfterElton is featuring a review of Saint of 9/11, the documentary about openly gay NY Fire Department chaplain Father Mychael Judge who died five years ago today. He was an AIDS activist, a homeless advocate and a friend to all.

And the Village Voice provides an audio special while you’re looking back at 9/11. Queer musician and Voice Columnist LD Beghtol even serves up a playlist for of “comfort music” (of sorts) to listen to while you remember.
