Why I'm Happy Living with AIDS

If I weren't living with AIDS, I wouldn't be alive to witness the first black president in action, or write the Obama Files.

If I weren't living with AIDS, I wouldn't be the proud papa of Boomer, who has taught me When in Doubt, Pet the Dog.

If I weren't living with AIDS, I wouldn't the author of four novels which have been nominated for a total of five Lambda Literary Awards, and tell the stories of HIV-positive men who dare to dream.

If I weren't living with AIDS, I wouldn't be alive to say, Dear Magic Johnson, Thanks for Saving My Life.
