... that LGBTQ synagogues helped shape the American Jewish response to AIDS in the 1980s, even as the disease killed many of their members?

Source: "Queer Healing: AIDS, Gay Synagogues, Lesbian Feminists, and the Origins of the Jewish Healing Movement"^TWL: "In fact, in large part due to the advocacy of gay and lesbian synagogues, the silence about AIDS of national Jewish leaders began to shift in late 1985" (p. 614); "AIDS would eventually claim over eighty of [CSZ's] 201 members" (p. 622). "World’s First LGBTQ Synagogue, Beth Chayim Chadashim, Turns 50": "About 30 [BCC] congregants passed away from AIDS-related causes". "AIDS Was Our Earthquake: American Jewish Responses to the AIDS Crisis, 1985–92"^TWLPQ: "AIDS ultimately took the lives of nearly half of the male members who had been active with CBST in the early 1980s" (p. 133).
