PRIOR: We have reached a verdict, your honor. This man's heart is deficient. He loves, but his love is worth nothing.

watching angels in America and I know Louis’s reactions to what is going on with prior are comprehensible to a certain degree and he feels soooo guilty about running away etc etc but this man is a COWARD from the very first beginning. the situation isn’t about him but he’s so whiny all the time ??? prior is the person affected by the illness, not him. sure, Louis is suffering. his boyfriend’s dying. this hits him emotionally, it’s scary and sad.
but it would cost him so much to hang in there a little for the man he claimed to love so much???? fuck off then…

He closes his eyes and turns his cheek into the cup of Louis’s palm. “Fine. Sleep over tonight. Kiss me. Make me breakfast in bed. Spend time with me. But we’re not together. Don’t forget that.”
Louis rubs his thumb over Prior’s cheekbone. “Alright. I’ll take it. Anything you want to give me, I’ll take.”
Prior/Louis, 2037 words, rated E

Character(s): The cast of Angels in America (Belize, Louis Ironson, Hannah Pitt, Harper Pitt, Joe Pitt, and Prior Walter)
From: Angels in America
Representation: Belize (Black, Gay), Louis (Jewish, Gay), Hannah (Religion: Mormon), Harper (Religion: Mormon, Disorder: Agoraphobia, Addiction: Pills), Joe (Religion: Mormon, Gay), Prior (Gay, HIV+/AIDS)
Their Importance: One of the first major dramatic works to address the ongoing AIDS crisis, the play was notable for it's sympathetic portrayal of gay men and people living with AIDS at a time when legal discrimination against both groups was actively harming people and halting progress on dealing with the AIDS epidemic.
The cast of characters are all well-developed to ensure that they are not defined solely by their representation. Everyone is shown to be realistically flawed which also helps to keep the story grounded when more fantastical elements enter the picture.
The play goes to great lengths to show the diversity of gay men's lived experiences and how complex factors such as race and religion intersect with those experiences. For instance, Prior and Belize are openly gay, Louis is openly gay except to his Jewish family, and Joe comes out as gay over the course of the play while constantly struggling to reconcile his homosexuality with his Mormon religion. Every way of living is shown to have it's own set of hardships and the play never states what is the right path, only that it's important to do what's best for each individual.
Issues: The play does include racial slurs said by bigoted characters directed at Black and Jewish people in addition to depictions and discussions of homophobia.
There is also a fairly important lead character, Roy Cohn, who is a Jewish man who has sex with other men (he specifically rejects the label "gay") and is living with AIDS. I did not include him in the representation as a) the vast majority of the bigoted remarks come from him and b) he is based on a real life person of the same name who held similar opinions. The play does not endorse his actions and he is ultimately the closest person to an actual villain in the story.
Thanks to @silver-stargazing for the write-up!

HARPER: I want your credit card.
That's all. You can keep track of me from where the charges come from. If you want to keep track. I don't care.
JOE: I have some things to tell you.
HARPER: Oh we shouldn't talk. I don't want to do that anymore.
Credit card.
JOE: I don't know what will happen to me without you. Only you. Only you love me. Out of everyone in the world. I have done things, I'm ashamed. But I have changed. I
don't know how yet, but __ Please, please, don't leave me now. Harper. You're my good heart.
(She looks at him, she walks up to him and slaps him, hard.)
HARPER (Quietly): Did that hurt?
(Joe nods "yes.")
HARPER: Yes. Remember that. Please. If I can get a job, or something, I'll cut the card to pieces. And there won't be charges anymore. Credit card.
(Joe takes out his wallet, gives her his card.)
JOE (Small voice, not looking at her): Call or.... Call. You have to.
HARPER: NO. Probably never again. That's how bad. Sometimes, maybe lost is best. Get lost. Joe. Go exploring.
(Harper digs in the sofa. She removes her Valium stash. She shakes out two pills, goes to Joe, takes his hand and puts the Valium in his open palm.)
HARPER: With a big glass of water. (She leaves)
[...]
LOUIS: I want to come back to you. You could... respond, you could say something, throw me out or say it's fine, or it's not fine but sure what the hell or... I really failed you. But... this is hard. Failing in love isn't the same as not loving. It doesn't let you off the hook, it doesn't mean... you're free to not love.
PRIOR: I love you Louis.
LOUIS: Good. I love you.
PRIOR: I really do. But you can't come back. Not ever. I'm sorry. But you can't.
Angels in America, Tony Kusher.
