In honor of World AIDS Day today, I encourage you to participate in Link and Think.

The Toronto Aids Memorial
The photographs here cannot express the feeling of walking through this memorial. In the quiet park, names follow, one after the other. Men's names, women's names, childrens' names. They reach out to you, forcing you to acknowledge that a disease does not kill statistics, but people. When you're standing there, you can hear vibrant Church Street, heart of the gay ghetto, with shops and flags and people smiling. The contrast makes the monument all the more moving.
I was so lucky, to come of age just as the awareness of AIDs hit the mainstream in Canada. We were just scared enough to be careful, without suffering the same losses of those older than us. But AIDs isn't the story of the week anymore, and I worry about those coming of age now. I worry about Africa and South Asia, but in those cases I feel so overwhelmed I do not know what to do.
