Synopsis
Louise Hay established the Hayride in the early 1980s as a healing space during the AIDS epidemic. The gathering attracted hundreds of gay men facing a stigmatized disease. Hay promoted the idea that self-love could help them overcome AIDS. Critics labeled her new age wellness approach as unscientific and potentially harmful. Yet, many participants reported personal healing. Amid government neglect and a deadly pandemic, the Hayride became a site for intimate reckoning and support.
