A man recalls the LGBTQ community’s HIV epidemic in the 80s

This Pride, we are remembering a community’s struggle with a different epidemic decades ago. Raised by gay parents, a man recalls how HIV AIDS was impacting people around him and how a group of men called his “aunties” helped him pull through. This animated short is part of the new StoryCorps season “Father Figures.”
