    How heartbreaking :icon_sad:

    It reminds of me of how when Matthew Shepard died it brought a little more awareness to homophobia. People just really need to see uncensored things like that in order for them to get up and realize it's a problem.

    I didn't feel anything when I looked at that photo.

    I've known countless people die from AIDS, seen them waste away, untreated with AIDS and TB.

    Sometimes I go to the public clinic, there, it is bad. Lines of pregnant teens, at least 25% of them with AIDS - statistically speaking.

    I'm completely de-sensitized to the whole issue. I'll protect myself though.

    South Africa - Land of the living dead.

    That is really sad :/

    There's something to be said for the unconditional love of family though. That's what I see in the photo.
