\u201cThinking of my partner Carlos , who passed on this day in 1994 a month after his 31st birthday. Watching #ItsASin was difficult but I\u2019m glad I did . A fictional story that told the truth of what really happened. A true story.\nCarlos Henrique Martins\n19/01/63 , 21/02/94 \u2764\ufe0f\u201d

\u201cThat sense of shame afflicts lots of gay/bi people to varying degrees, and fuels higher levels of mental distress and, as a consequence, significantly higher risk of abusive relationships with drugs and alcohol.\u201d

\u201cIt\u2019s A Sin is stunning but how is there still so little queer TV that one man is essentially the only reason there\u2019s been any major queer dramas in the past 20 years.\u201d

\u201cafter watching it's a sin i am so much more shocked at the current state of queer sex education. our community went through fear, tragedy, and loss, and 40 years on sex education in schools still so often doesn't represent us - and demonizes those with STDs\u201d

\u201cRitchie and Ash lying in a hospital bed together is a beautiful moment of love.\n\nIt\u2019s reminiscent of Gideon Mendel\u2019s photo series where he visited an AIDS ward to show the loving relationships between the men who were dying and their partners.\n\nTo humanise HIV.\n\n#ItsASin\u201d

\u201cThe final hour of #ItsASin is sensational, heartbreaking television. Those long scenes featuring Keeley Hawes. I barely breathed.\u201d

\u201cIt\u2019s A Sin isn\u2019t a drama about AIDS, it\u2019s about homophobia.\nIt illustrates how fear, hatred and intolerance of homosexuality combined with a virus to kill people like me and people like my friends.\nMy piece for Huff Post on the memories #ItsASin triggered.\nhttps://t.co/6ajI82y3W4\u201d

\u201cTonight It\u2019s A Sin on @Channel4 The best five hours of television I\u2019ve seen in years. Your heart will be broken, warmed and lifted. Cast amazing. Soundtrack epic but most of all it\u2019s about the genius and compassion of @russelldavies63\u201d

\u201cIt's A Sin is one of the best things I\u2019ve seen on television \u2013 ever! So it was great to have @alexander_olly as my co-host for this week\u2019s #RocketHour. Tune in to @applemusic on Saturday to hear the show and in the meantime, make sure you watch #ItsASin on @hbomax & @Channel4 \ud83d\ude80\u201d
