I am not wrong about my lived experiences and about the enormous success of Act Up in revolutionizing medical care and ending the automatic death sentence for HIV.
What we did out in the streets expressing our anger and our emotion was absolutely and critically necessary to the stunning success we achieved.
You don't like emotion? Then you don't like being human.
I'm going to continue living my life honoring emotion and knowing that my offense is not something I choose when people persecute me for being a member of minority.
I will live my life knowing that you and Eleanor Roosevelt are both wrong.
I have no idea what your bridge metaphor meant, but you are still wrong.
