A story of two coalitions – ACT UP and TAG (Treatment Action Group) – whose activism and innovation turned AIDS from a death sentence into a manageable condition. Despite having no scientific training, these self-made activists infiltrated the pharmaceutical industry and helped identify promising new drugs, moving them from experimental trials to patients in record time.

I was just a kid when this was all going on but I thank my older gay and lesbian brothers and sisters for paving the way!

Thank you to all those who stood up to power. I cannot imagine what this world would be like had you not. And a special hug to all those who lost a loved one due to society's condemnation and inaction.

Peter Staley deserves the Congressional Medal of Honor. He was the the flint that lit the fire. So many of us wouldn't be here today if not for what he began.
