As gay young people, we are marginalized. As young people who are HIV-positive and have AIDS, we are totally written off.
Interpretation
The quote highlights the marginalization faced by young LGBTQ+ individuals, particularly those living with HIV/AIDS.
Pedro Zamora's quote speaks to the struggle of being both young and part of a marginalized community, emphasizing how youth combined with a stigma related to HIV/AIDS can lead to feelings of being completely disregarded by society. It underscores the urgent need for recognition and support for these individuals, challenging societal norms and prejudices that often leave them voiceless and invisible.
In practice
In a speech advocating for LGBTQ+ rights at a youth conference.
I don't think you can have an authentic connection when one person is diagnosing the other.
No one person can fulfill all your needs. But the community can truly hold you. The community can let you experience the fact that, beyond your anguish, there are human hands that hold you and show you God's faithful love.
What makes something better is connection.
