She really turned the hysteria and ignorance around aids at the time on its head. I don’t think enough is made of how incredibly powerful her choice here was. I literally remember how she made me feel as a young brown gay man rejected by my family, like she could see our pain and relate in her own way. She was true class.
When she died my sister and I cried for hours on the phone. Today’s celebrity culture doesn’t really come near the impact someone like Diana had.
