I was a young buck back in 1994 who lost many friends and lovers to AIDS. Pedro became a hero for me then and he still is today. He’s one of the many talented bright spots we lost before there was a drug cocktail that made a long life possible for HIV positive persons.
This is not short video, but a video that was worth every minute of my time. So much so I’m about to watch it again. I find its message vitally important given today’s political climate. Thus I share it here in hopes that not only will you watch it, but also share it with others too.
Oh, and have a tissue handy as I needed one a couple times while watching.

Fearsome Beard 
I watched that season in college. I was 22. I hadn’t come out yet. It added to my anxiety about my future, but not about being gay. My husband was HIV+ and didn’t know until halfway through our marriage. Long story, but not infidelity. He said he would understand if I wanted a divorce. I said why the hell would I want that. To look back at that feels like The (un)Real World.
Pedro was 22 at that time as well. I’m glad his memory and his work lives on. He really did save lives.
