I used to believe:
white was better than black, straight was better than gay, negative was
better than positive, and everybody else in the world was better than
me because I was a black gay man living with HIV/AIDS.
Then,
a funny thing happened on the way to my sad, lonely, worth-less life. I
woke up from a very bad dream, a dream that said I had to accept anyone
else's point of view about black gay men living with HIV/AIDS.
I
begat a new dream, a dream where I learned to love myself for all that I
am, for where I've been, what I've overcome, what I've made of myself
and my life.
In this new dream, I fell in love. With
myself. That's right, I fell in love with a funky, black, poz jock. I
also realized: if it happened to me, if could happen to the man of my
dreams, too. After all, anything is possible.
Anyone in this world can fall in love with a funky, black, poz jock.
