My Take
Pedro Zamora is the kind of figure I think about often, a young man who turned his own mortality into a public education. By living openly with HIV on national television in the early nineties, he did something braver than most celebrities ever attempt; he let strangers watch him be human, vulnerable, and dignified all at once. He died at twenty-two, which still feels like a theft. But the GLAAD award and, more importantly, the countless minds he changed remind me that influence isn't measured in years. He spent his short life dismantling fear, and that work outlived him entirely.
