Every gay person should see the documentary "How to Survive a Plague": it artfully tells how ACT-UP confronted homophobia and changed America. Remarkable story

This and Searching for Sugar Man are my favorite documentaries of the year.  I was so moved in watching historic video footage of ACT UP meetings and watching its leaders angrily advocate for research and money to help HIV+ individuals live. At times, it was relive their suffering and struggles. But they changed America and attitudes toward gay people forever.

I am proud to be part of this long line of LGBT activists in our movement for love and equality.
