I am a gay white male with HIV, an ex-Mormon in Salt Lake City. I understand "Angels in America" and believe it deserves all the acclaim it has and will still receive. It was important when it was written and is just as important and applicable now. I have seen both shows on stage and on HBO. I actually liked the film better because it portrayed the "fantasia" aspect the playwright included in his complete title. Yes, there are those who did not care for it for one reason or another (or many). To those who did not like it or understand the message: you probably never will... There are those who see and appreciate it as a work of art and I am glad I had the opportunity to experience it.
