width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Until the late 1980s and early 1990s, most major daily newspapers refused to print obituaries that listed AIDS as a cause of death. Many doctors were reluctant to discuss details with the press. Even when obituary policies changed, many young men's deaths were attributed to "a long illness", cancer or pneumonia. In her "Dear Abby" column, Abigail Van Buren surmised, "If the family of the deceased chooses to omit (or disguise) the cause of death, the family will have the last word. Literally."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Phrases like "died at home," paired with a suggestion for a donation to a hospice, in a thirtysomething-year-old's obituary provided strong clues as to what they had gone through. "AIDS, although more widely discussed and recognized," noted journalist Leah Rosenzweig, "was still very much viewed as an implacable and stigmatizing death sentence, something to hide from one's mother, something to erase from one's legacy." Partners of those who died were often referred to as "good friends" or expunged from obituaries altogether. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Privacy concerns, religious beliefs, family estrangements, and fear of harassment by homophobes all played a role in the decisions of survivors as to whether or not to publicize HIV/AIDS as their loved one's cause of death. Even today, some individuals continue to make efforts to whitewash the diagnosis of one prominent skater included in this project, many years after his death. It's all extremely sad.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For this reason, the sources for this list are unconventional, and unconventional is okay when you're sharing the stories of people who couldn't share their own because it was a different time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>SOURCES:</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>"And The Band Played On: Politics, People and the AIDS Epidemic", Randy Shilts, 1987</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>"Dear Abby", Abigail Van Buren, Deseret News, April 3, 1991</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>"Cause of Death: Uncovering the hidden history of AIDS on the New York Times obituary page", Leah Rosenzweig, Slate, November 30, 2018</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuY_PzacJ6U_z6c7RUO2WqUQz2KqW3Fr5lGVJSapFDoRja4eJA7c1sOBNb__GJHflEIJs25uidDJYhfGDSvARSTlUSZkk4IK61Oe6f2KUkB2FVJNZNaq3LHdB3A8Vi6vK2POldoBpFCtTM0A_Ikl54jIUr44LHiy4beb-PuOUWDXNlzI-YF6jXgJ3Sv9s/s1500/Black%20and%20White%20Minimalist%20Business%20Real%20Estate%20Twitter%20Header.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="1500" height="107" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuY_PzacJ6U_z6c7RUO2WqUQz2KqW3Fr5lGVJSapFDoRja4eJA7c1sOBNb__GJHflEIJs25uidDJYhfGDSvARSTlUSZkk4IK61Oe6f2KUkB2FVJNZNaq3LHdB3A8Vi6vK2POldoBpFCtTM0A_Ikl54jIUr44LHiy4beb-PuOUWDXNlzI-YF6jXgJ3Sv9s/s320/Black%20and%20White%20Minimalist%20Business%20Real%20Estate%20Twitter%20Header.png" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;">1983 - Phil Romayne passes away.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">1984 - Douglas Norwick passes away.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">1985 - Alastair Munro passes away.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">1986 - Guy Nick, Brian Grant and Tom Steinruck pass away.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">1987 - Dennis Coi, Greg Welch and Ian Knight pass away.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">1988 - Gene Gant and Larry Rost pass away.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">1988 - Calgary sportswriter Christie Blatchford is the first mainstream reporter to write about AIDS in the figure skating world.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">1989 - Ondrej Nepela, Andr茅 Denis, Tim Brown, Bobby Black, Jim Hulick, Ron Alexander, Ren茅 Vancampen, Donald Bonacci, Tom Easton and Tony Panko pass away.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">1989 - Skating For Life, the first AIDS benefit ice show, is held in New York City.
