Good article, Reed. As an old-timer I needed the fresh outlook. Thank you.

So many revealing observations, so much for us all contemplate. The AIDS Walk feels at times, I admit, a bit forced and tired. Thanks for your personal insight--it brings freshness and new relevance to the iconic event. Oh, and its very well written too!

thanks for this moving and thoughtful piece. you raise some important questions about solidarity, and how it works at individual and social levels, not always in the ways we imagine or expect. very nice work.

I read this article and was very moved about the people involved in this walk. As a gay man who is HIV poz, I have so much empathy for the walkers. I have never been involved with an aids walk. I just live too far away and my ssd check is just not enough to go the whole distance to cover all my expenses. I give these people all kinds of kudos for having the courage to stand up for their rights and for the indiviuals who have had family members, friends and as a memoir to them. May they have the blessings of Mother Earth endowed on them.

Thanks for the great article--very moving, and very important. I'm so glad you have given us all a different way of approaching and thinking about the AIDS walk.

First I walked for my godfather Bernard, who died when I was four, and always tickled me until I cried. Then I walked for your Mom also. I was fortunate to have my school and church participate annually while I was in middle school, so I had a pretty civilized clique. Thank you for sharing your experience.
