“I wondered whether Falwell was right.”
“AIDS Brough out my own homophobia. It made me question my sexuality, question whether gay sex was bad, whether being gay was wrong.
Shanti has allowed me an intimacy and closeness with others that I never dreamed I was capable of. Being a volunteer made me realize the wonderful kinds of people we are-both straight and gay. How much love, kindness and support there is in our community.
I’m proud of our community and I’m proud to be gay.”
-George Simmons
