“Being a spokesperson for a movement is a tricky thing. Being one for a movement that bills itself as leaderless in even trickier. Do it badly, and you'll squander a major opportunity for the movement, and get skewered within the group. Do it well, and you'll be asked to do it again and again, and then resented for it, especially if you enjoy it like I did. And you will deserve the resentment when, like me, you were young and cocky and still lacking the political maturity to share the limelight with less represented members of your AIDS community. 110”
