Just found out with the @BookishFeminist that the author was a former tenant in the room I live in!!! He lived in this room during the AIDS crisis of the 80's. On perspective, if he could overcome that and come out on the brighter side of life, so can we!!! #lgbt #culture #gayculture #potential #fightthegoodfight
