  Eric was part of a small group of people who were discovering the lost history of gay people. Later, their efforts would lead to the creation of history projects, museums, and libraries. Between his historians and my activists, there was always someone camped out on the living room floor, or sharing Eric's bed or mine.
  Every morning, I'd walk the two blocks down Castro Street to Market to catch the M-Ocean View streetcar out to SF State. It took less than a half hour, but the west side of town always felt like a different city. It still does.
  On Muni's M cars, and the K line to City College, hundreds of young gay men and lesbians met each other every day on their way to study film, theater, anthropology, sociology, psychology, dance, political science, creative writing, music, and fine arts. I don't think there was a single business or economics major among us.

conversations.value: And now our numbers have been diminished and many here among us tonight are already condemned to an early and painful death. But we are pledged—to the memory of those who have fallen and those who will follow—to see this struggle through to the end.
  And if the day should come when only one of us here tonight still stands—one person with a voice, a heart, and two strong arms—then even on that sad day our fight will continue.
  We are the lesbians and gay men of San Francisco. For two decades we have been on the forefront of an international struggle to liberate homosexual people from intolerable persecution, part of a movement that has profoundly transformed the lives of millions of gay men and lesbian women throughout the world.
  Tonight we renew our pledge to Harvey's dream: a dream of a time and a place where lesbians and gay men of every age, race, and background would stand together, taking our rightful place among the ranks of decent people everywhere who seek a world of peace and justice and freedom.

conversations.value: The movement gave me hope and it is that hope which sustains me now—hope that we might yet save our planet and learn to share it in peace; hope for justice and equality; hope for the children that will follow us; hope that someday soon, we may rise.
  My new friends Adam Odsess-Rubin and Brenden Chadwick helped me proofread the manuscript. I've benefitted from the love and support of Nick Cucinella since we first met almost twenty years ago. I can't imagine a better friend.
  For over a decade I have worked for UNITE HERE International Union, the hospitality workers' union. Our members fight hard for justice every day. My supervisor at the union, David Glaser, has become a trusted friend who is always there to listen, to challenge, make me laugh, and provide wise counsel. I am deeply indebted to him. D. Taylor, John Wilhelms's successor as UNITE HERE International President, has continued and strengthened our union's commitment to LGBT equality, winning contracts that protect workers from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity even in states with no legal protections for LGBT individuals.
  Very few of my old friends survived the HIV pandemic. One who did is Gilbert Baker, creator of the rainbow flag. He is still sewing flags and banners and is as outrageous, smart, and funny as ever and I am grateful that our friendship has lasted for over four decades.
  Some twenty years ago I met a young man named David Smith. We traveled together, had many adventures, and have a relationship that has survived many twists and turns. He teaches high school in San Francisco, we talk almost every day, and I think he knows how much I love him.
