4. Keenan wants to date Pray Tell, HIV positive and all. 

 

During the first wave of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, many people were passing away left and right, especially queer folks.

This didn’t matter to Pray Tell’s new love interest Keenan, however. When the two went on their first date after Pray Tell lost his first lover Costas, Pray Tell revealed his HIV positive status and Keenan responded with “what can I do to help?”  He then explained that they would be safe if their relationship turned sexual and he sealed the deal with a kiss. In one swoop, a complicated life was made a little smother with the potential of love.
