Sad to hear of the suicide of McFarlane, one of the founders of the Gay Men’s Health Crisis, an executive director of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and more recently, of the Gill Foundation, an advocacy organization for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender civil rights.
I keep reading articles bemoaning the lack of gay heroes; McFarlane was one, a selfless, tireless soldier who put himself on the front lines time and again. A giant man with a giant heart: RIP, and thanks.
