Got excited for a minute when I found my old copy of In the Absence of Angels, but that scene isn't in there.
I randomly found it!!!Going through lists for AIDS/HIV books, I came across Go Toward the Light. Didn't recognize the cover at all, but the summary sounded kinda familiar, so I searched the text and found the restaurant scene.
Awesome, so happy you found it after all this time. Going to check it out myself now.
Thanks, Aymee. Hope you like it. It's a sad book, but definitely worth reading. I also found out it was made into a movie as well.
I can handle a sad book, but thank you for letting me know in advance. :) Oh really? I'm going to have to find that after I read it.

I have a memory of a scene in a book, probably from the '80s or '90s, about a woman who goes out for a romantic dinner with her husband and is upset by a gay male couple who are sitting at the table next to them. I think the men start showing affection, and she feels the need to leave the restaurant because of it.
I don't believe it was purely for homophobic reasons, but because the woman's son or brother had AIDS, and she was reminded of it by those men. She even says to herself, "it's not their fault," before leaving the restaurant. Could be fiction or non-fiction, but I would have read it sometime prior to 2001.
Thanks mucho for any help!
