This article, originally published in the wonderful gay men's journal White Crane, is by one of the chief leaders of the gay men's health movement Eric Rofes (who sadly, and suddenly passed away last June), it's fantastic and a MUST READ for any and all who care one iota about gay men's health. It really lays out the asset-focused history and tenets of the gay men's health movement. offering both a road map and directions. When so much of what we tell ourselves, and what we hear from outside our communities, is that we - gay men - are sick and pathological, this offers something very different, truly visionary. I hope you will take a few moments to read this...
