The protesters expressed their concern that the archival exhibit entombed the HIV/AIDS (Human Immunodeficiency Virus/ Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) crisis in the historic past, a serious concern for those still engaged in battling a virus with no known cure and decreasing public awareness. Once queers embrace their role outside of the realm of political possibility, they become the threatening representation of the death drive, associated with indulgent jouissance and exposing the all-encompassing ideology of futurity as mere fantasy.\n It uses melancholia to resist limiting narratives of race, sexuality, and even temporality, embracing desire to move beyond solidified and limiting no- tions of the human as merely an assimilated consumer, a pawn in neoliberal ideology.
