AND WAS THE SEASON OF PEDRO ZAMORA, THE YOUNG, GAY, HIV-POSIVE MAN, WHOSE LIVG WH THE DISEASE ON MERA, HUMANLY, DAY-TO-DAY WH HOEMAT, HELPED SHAPE A YOUNG GENERATN’S MORE CLIVE VIEW OF HOMOSEXUALY AND LIVG WH HIV AND AIDS. OF ALL THE REAL WORLD SEASONS, THIS REMAS AN ENGRAVED POP-CULTURAL MEMORY—FOR ZAMORA, AND FOR THE NFLICT GENERATED BY MSY, OBJECTNABLE BICYCLE URIER PUCK, WHO THE HOEMAT ULTIMATELY GROUPED TOGETHER TO EVICT.BILL CLTON ONCE SAID THAT ZAMORA, WHO DIED AT AGE 22 A FEW MONTHS AFTER TAPG END, “YOUNG AMERI SAW A PEER LIVG WH HIV.” CLTON SAID ZAMORA JOLTED PEOPLE OUT OF IGNORANCE, AND LIVED A LIFE OF “PASSN AND FEARLSNS.”IN 2014, THIS MIGHT SOUND GRANDILOQUENT AND OVERSTATED, BUT 1994 THERE WERE FEW OPENLY GAY MEN ON TV, AND FEW PEOPLE WH AIDS. ZAMORA WAS HANDSOME, PASSNATE, AND ED HIS TIME ON THE REAL WORLD TO TE AND AGATE. HE WAS AN UNPROMISG POLIL RADIL, HE WAS LOOKG FOR LOVE, AND HE WAS FUNNY. ZAMORA WAS ONE OF MORN TV’S FIRST THREE-DIMENSNAL GAY MEN: ROMANTIC, TOUGH, FUNNY, NONTATNAL, AND NOBODY’S VICTIM. WICK, WHO WAS THE CUTE, STRAIGHT, PREPPY ONE, STILL LIV SAN FRANCIS, AND IS A RTOONIST WHO HAS JT BEEN MISSNED TO WRE A GRAPHIC NOVEL SERI FOR CHILDREN. HE IS MARRIED TO HOEMATE PAM LG, WHO IS A DOCTOR (THEY HAVE TWO CHILDREN, AGED 9 AND 5). THEY FELL LOVE THE HOE, AND BOTH BEME CLOSE IENDS OF ZAMORA’S, WERE WH HIM WHEN HE DIED, AND STILL MISS HIM HUGELY. “WE WERE RECENTLY A FFEE SHOP AND THE BARISTA SAID THEY REGNIZED ,” HE SAYS. “WE ASKED HOW OLD THEY WERE. TWENTY-TWO! SO THEY WERE 2 WHEN WAS ON. THEY HAD STREAMED ONLE. PAM LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME, I’M OLR AND BALR. WE HAVEN’T LET THE KIDS WATCH ‘THE SHOW,’ AS WE LL ,” BUT THEIR 9-YEAR-OLD KNOWS ENOUGH TO SAY, WHEN PEOPLE APPROACH THEM, “DO YOU KNOW THEM OR ARE THEY FANS?” OF ZAMORA, THE CHILDREN HAVE ALWAYS ASKED QUTNS, WHICH WICK AND LG TRY AND ANSWER AS OPENLY AS POSSIBLE.THE IMPACT OF ZAMORA WAS SO PRONOUNCED BEE 20 YEARS AGO, “ WAS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT UNIVERSE” FOR PEOPLE WH HIV AND AIDS, SAYS WICK. “THERE WAS NO BATN DG THERAPY, SOME OF THE MOST IGNORANT BULLSH WAS STILL BEG SAID: THAT YOU ULD GET HIV OM TOUCHG PEOPLE, MOSQUO, AND WATER FOUNTAS. IT WAS THE DARK AG STILL.”WICK SAID HE WAS NERVO GOG TO THE HOE: WHILE WAS “FAIRLY SIGNIFINT” THAT ZAMORA WAS GAY, HIS HIV STAT WAS—BEFORE THE TWO BEME SUCH GOOD IENDS—NCERNG. IN THE FIRST FEW DAYS, ZAMORA LET HIM AND THE HOEMAT KNOW THEY ULDN’T BEE HIV-POSIVE THROUGH TEARS, SP, AND SNEEZG. “HE KNEW WHAT WE WERE THKG,” SAYS WICK. “PEDRO WAS BEG PEDRO, JT NOT FOR , BUT THE LNS WATCHG.”THE FACE OF AIDS, PRR TO ZAMORA, NOT WICK, HAD BEEN RYAN WHE, THE INDIANA TEENAGER WHO BEME FECTED WH HIV AFTER A BLOOD TRANSFN, “AND ON THE NEWS, ALL THOSE MEN WHO WERE SO SKNY THEY LOOKED LIKE THEY’D BEEN AT ACHWZ, VERED KS LNS. PEDRO LOOKED LIKE HE’D STEPPED OUT OF A SOAP OPERA: HE WAS HANDSOME, CHARMG, FUNNY, AND PASSNATE.”ZAMORA HAD HAD A DRAMATIC LIFE UP UNTIL APPEARG THE SHOW. HE HAD LEFT CUBA, WHERE HE WAS BORN, AGED 8 WH HIS PARENTS. THE FAY SETTLED FLORIDA. ZAMORA'S MOTHER DIED WHEN HE WAS 13. HIS FATHER WAS SUPPORTIVE OF HIM WHEN HE ME OUT. AT 17, ZAMORA WAS DIAGNOSED HIV-POSIVE, AND EVEN PRR TO APPEARG ON THE REAL WORLD HAD BEE A WELL-KNOWN AND RPECTED ADVOTE AND MPAIGNER AROUND HIV TN. THE PRODUCERS HAD ASKED THE HOEMAT FIRST HOW THEY FELT ABOUT LIVG WH SOMEBODY WHO WAS HIV-POSIVE, THEN THAT THEY WOULD BE LIVG WH SOMEBODY WHO WAS. WICK ENVISNED “A VIS ON TWO LEGS,” SUCH AS HE HAD SEEN ON THE NEWS, “BUT WE END UP WH PEDRO. IT WAS QUE A TRANSN. WH AN HOUR HE WAS MY ROOMMATE, AND WH A WEEK HE WAS MY IEND. I ULD TAKE THE CRED FOR BEG THE LIBERAL I ALWAYS CLAIMED TO BE, BUT I WAS 24 AND STILL HAD A LOT OF BLANK SPOTS. I WAS IGHTENED BY THE IA OF LIVG WH SOMEONE WH HIV. THEN, QUICKLY, I JT LIKED HIM, AND THEN I WAS WORRIED ABOUT HIS WELFARE, ALTHOUGH HE DIDN’T WANT TO FEEL THAT.”I ASK WICK IF HE FELT THE HOEMAT WERE FAIRLY PORTRAYED. “IT PENDS, SOME PEOPLE GOT A RAW AL, BUT PEDRO WAS PROPERLY PORTRAYED. LISTEN, ’S REALY TV: THEY FILMED 70 TO 90 HOURS OF TV A WEEK, AND BOILED DOWN TO AN EPISO OF 22 MUT AND 32 SENDS. IT WAS HEAVILY EDED FOR DRAMATIC EFFECT AND STORY.” WICK LGHS: ZAMORA WOULD GROW AND SHAVE HIS GOATEE—“HE WAS EVEN AHEAD ON GROWG THAT”—UNPREDICTABLY, G A NTUY NIGHTMARE, AS REACTN SHOTS MIGHT BE FILMED AFTER A PARTICULAR CINT HAD TAKEN PLACE. “FOR THE MOST PART, WHAT YOU SAW IS FAIRLY TE. THE MOR QUIBBL WE HAD ABOUT WHO SAID WHAT WHAT SEQUENCE BEME REALLY FIMAL TO THE WIR EXPERIENCE WE WERE HAVG," WICK SAYS. THE GROUP MOVED OUT OF THE HOE JUNE 1994, ZAMORA WAS HOSPALIZED THAT AUGT AND DIED NOVEMBER, HOURS AFTER THE FAL EPISO OF THE SHOW AIRED. THROUGH FILMG THE SHOW, WICK AND LG BEME AWARE THAT ZAMORA WAS TRYG TO E THE SHOW TO RAISE BIG ISSU, “AND WE ULD HELP HIM BY BEG HIS IEND.” THEY ACPANIED HIM TO TALKS HE GAVE. “THE EXPERIENCE OF FILMG PUTS DOG YEARS ON A RELATNSHIP. I WAS FALLG LOVE WH PAM, PEDRO WAS MY BT IEND. EVERYTHG IS HEIGHTENED, TENSE, YOU’RE EXHSTED. THERE’S SO MUCH ADRENALE. YOU’RE ALWAYS A LTLE ON YOUR GUARD. AND FOR PEDRO THE STAK WERE HIGHER: HE WOULD LET DOWN HIS FAY, GAY PEOPLE, AND PEOPLE WH AIDS.”ON THE FLIPSI, THE HOEMAT HAD FUN. “HE WAS REALLY GEEKY LIKE ME," SAYS WICK. "WE BOTH LOVED STAR TREK A LOT, HE HAD NO TASTE MIC. HE DIDN’T KNOW ELTON JOHN’S ‘ROCKET MAN.’ I SAID TO HIM, ‘PEDRO, YOU’RE GOG TO MEET HIM AT ONE POT. HE HAS TWO SPECTACULAR SONGS, AND THIS IS THREE OF THEM.’ PEDRO ALSO HAD THIS WONRFUL DARK HUMOR. HE PLAED HE WAS GOG TO DIE OF AIDS ALL THE TIME. IF I ASKED HIM TO HOLD SOMETHG, HE’D SAY, ‘I’M STANDG HERE, DYG OF AIDS, AND YOU’RE MAKG ME EXERT MYSELF. THIS IS ALL GOG TO BE ON YOUR SHOULRS.’” WICK LGHS. “THEY NEVER SHOWED THAT ON TV.” I WONR IF WICK GOT H ON BY GUYS, BEE OF HIS LOOKS. “Y, WE’D GO OUT CLUBBG, AND I’D BE VERY POLE ABOUT . PAM AND CORY (MURPHY, ANOTHER HOEMATE) ULD DANCE ON THE DANCE FLOOR, BUT I’D GET H ON EVEN MORE IF I DID THAT. PEDRO ASKED IF I WAS OK GETTG H ON, AND HE’D TELL THE GUYS THAT I WAS WH THEM.” HE LGHS. “I’D BE MORE FLATTERED IF HAPPENED NOW RATHER THAN THEN. I WAS YOUNGER AND PRETTIER—OF URSE I GOT H ON.” AS FOR THE NOTOR PUCK (REAL NAME: DAVID RAEY), ZAMORA CLASHED WH HIM OVER RAEY STICKG HIS FGERS A JAR OF PEANUT BUTTER AFTER PICKG HIS NOSE; RAEY’S OBNOXNS AND HOMOPHOBIA WERE ALSO HIGHLIGHTED. “HE WAS DISGTG,” SAYS WICK. “DIDN’T WASH. PUCK DIDN’T ENJOY HAVG THE FOC TAKEN AWAY OM HIM. HE WAS LOUR, MORE VIC THAN ANY OF ULD TAKE. PEDRO HAD HAD WH PUCK’S HOMOPHOBIC BEHAVR. IT BORRED ON THE PHYSIL,” ALTHOUGH, WICK SAYS, “PEDRO DIDN’T NEED PROTECTN OM ANYBODY. IF ANYONE TOOK PUCK’S SH THE LEAST, WAS PEDRO.” THE HOEMAT ASKED RAEY TO LEAVE. “AT THE TIME WAS LIKE A MEGA-WAR HAD OCCURRED.”WATCHG ZAMORA FALL LOVE WH HIS THEN-PARTNER SEAN SASSER WAS SIGNIFINT. “PEDRO TOLD ME AS HIS FIRST ADULT RELATNSHIP,” SAYS WICK. “SEAN WAS HIS TELLECTUAL EQUAL. THEY WERE AS HAPPY AS HELL TOGETHER. WHEN THEY CID TO HAVE A MMENT CEREMONY, THIS WAS LONG BEFORE GAY MARRIAGE, SO WAS A PRETTY BIG AL. THE CREW [WHO WERE CLOSE TO THE HOEMAT AS THEY LIVED WH THEM] WERE STCTED NOT TO CRY. ON MELROSE PLACE THERE’D JT BEEN A SCENE WHERE THE GAY CHARACTER MATT WAS GOG TO KISS ANOTHER MAN, BUT THE MERA CUT AWAY AT THE LAST MOMENT. ON OUR SHOW PEDRO KISSED ALL THE TIME.” KNOWG ZAMORA HELPED WICK BEE “THE MORE OPEN-MD PERSON I WANTED TO BE, JT AS THE LNS WATCHG PEDRO AS A GAY PERSON, LIVG WH AIDS, CHANGED MDS. WE GOT ONE OLD LETTER OM AN OLD NSERVATIVE SAYG THEY ULDN’T IMAGE PEDRO GOG TO HELL FOR WHO HE WAS.”ZAMORA ENURAGED WICK TO TAKE ON PUBLIC SPEAKG ON HIV AND AIDS. “I’M A VERY FORTABLE STRAIGHT GUY. I ALWAYS KNEW WHO I WAS. IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO PEDRO THAT I DID THIS. HE TOLD ME NOT TO JOKE ABOUT BEG BISEXUAL IF ANYONE ASKED ABOUT MY SEXUAL ORIENTATN. HE TOLD ME TO TELL THEM THE TTH—THAT I WAS STRAIGHT, AND THIS WAS PROOF THAT STRAIGHT AND GAY MEN ULD GET ON TOGETHER. ‘YOU’RE MY FIRST STRAIGHT IEND,’ PEDRO TOLD ME.” ZAMORA THOUGHT DIENC WOULD LISTEN TO WICK MORE PRECISELY BEE HE WAS A “WHE, STRAIGHT, LLEGE BOY.”THE PHRASE WHICH ALWAYS BOTHERED WICK WAS THAT HE AND THE OTHER HOEMAT HAD “ACCEPTED” ZAMORA, “WHEN HE WAS JT OUR IEND, AND ’S A DISSERVICE TO WHO HE WAS.”SASSER, WHO WENT ON TO BEE A PASTRY CHEF, WHILE ALSO WORKG FOR YOUTH AND MENTORG ANIZATNS, DIED LAST AUGT, SUDNLY, AGED 44. WICK SAYS THE E WAS NOT HIV-RELATED, BUT A PARTICULAR KD OF NCER ED BY ASBTOS. HE HAD BEEN A SEVEN-YEAR RELATNSHIP, WH HIS HBAND MICHAEL KAPLAN. THEY WERE FOSTER PARENTS TO A 4-YEAR-OLD GIRL. “SEAN’S ATH WAS HORRIBLE. WE’RE NOT OVER ,” SAYS WICK. “PEOPLE’S REACTN IS, ‘PEDRO AND SEAN WILL BE HEAVEN.’ AND WE’RE LIKE, ‘YEAH, HE HAD A HBAND AND HIS LIFE HAD MOVED ON.’” SASSER HIMSELF HAD SAID THAT HE KNEW HIS OBUARY WOULD BE: “SEAN SASSER, PARTNER OF PEDRO ZAMORA OF THE REAL WORLD.”WICK AND LG STILL MISS ZAMORA WH A “SHARP PANG OF GRIEF.” HIS ABSENCE HAS BEEN MOST OBV AT HIS AND LG’S WEDDG, AND WHEN THEY HAD CHILDREN. “I’D LOVE HIM TO MEET THEM, AND I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE MET HIS CHILDREN. I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE BEEN AT CY HALL WHEN OUR MAYOR, GAV NEWSOM, WENT LIGHTFULLY CRAZY [ 2004] AND STARTED MARRYG GAY AND LBIAN UPL. IT’S BEG MORE OBV: WE’RE BEG OLR. I’M 20 YEARS OLR THAN WHEN I KNEW HIM, YET HE’S STUCK THIS AMBER. I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO KNOW THE MEN HE BEME AND THE OLD MAN HE BEME.”WICK MTED THEIR IENDSHIP TO A IC BOOK 2001, PEDRO & ME: FRIENDSHIP, LOSS, AND WHAT I LEARNED. HE’S NSISTENTLY SURPRISED BY YOUNG PEOPLE TODAY FDG AND BEG MOVED BY ZAMORA’S STORY.PEOPLE HAVE THOUGHT ZAMORA WAS LCULATG HIS CSADG ON TV, SAYS WICK, “BUT HE WAS STILL THIS 22-YEAR-OLD KID OM MIAMI. HE REALLY DIDN’T KNOW HE WAS GOG TO DIE.” ZAMORA’S CLE WAS BTAL: HE SUFFERED OM PROGRSIVE MULTIFOL LKOENCEPHALOPATHY (PML), WHICH ATTACKED THE ONTAL LOBE OF HIS BRA, AND HE LOST HIS ABILY TO SPEAK, AND THEN BEME PROGRSIVELY MORE NFED. HE WAS TAKEN CRILLY ILL ILL ON A TRIP TO NEW YORK, WAS HOSPALIZED AT ST VCENT'S, BEFORE BEG FLOWN HOME TO MIAMI. “HE SUFFERED BADLY, WAS AWFUL,” SAYS WICK. “HE WHERED AWAY AND DIED.”ZAMORA NEVER KNEW THE EFFECT HE HAD HAD, SAYS WICK, ALTHOUGH BEFORE HE DIED HE WAS PRELIMARY DISCSNS WH MTV ABOUT HOSTG HIS OWN TALK SHOW, WH ZAMORA KEEN NOT TO BE BOXED TO DISCSG HIV AND AIDS EVERY WEEK, BUT YOUTH AND HEALTH MORE WILY. AFTER ZAMORA’S ATH, WICK SPENT A YEAR AND A HALF TALKG TO AND LECTURG HALLS-FULL OF PEOPLE. “I WASN’T AN AIDS ADVOTE, THERE WAS A HUGE LEVEL OF HYPOCRISY. I WASN’T POSIVE, I WASN’T A GAY MAN. I TRIED TO BE AS HONT AS POSSIBLE.” HE LGHS. “PEDRO SAID, ‘THEY’LL E AND LISTEN TO YOU ‘S YOU’RE ON THAT DAMN SHOW. THEY’LL ASK YOU STUPID QUTNS ABOUT PUCK, SO LET’S DO THIS.’” BUT WICK FOUND DIDN’T GET EASIER THE MORE HE SPOKE ABOUT ZAMORA—HE JT KEPT RELIVG THE PA OF THE EXPERIENCE OF LOSG HIM, SO HE STOPPED.HE DON’T WATCH THE REAL WORLD NOW: “I’M A 44-YEAR-OLD DU. IT WOULD BE A KD OF CREEPY SCENAR.” BUT HE AND LG DO ENJOY TOP CHEF AND PROJECT RUNWAY, NOTG HE AND LG ARE “AN EXPERTS THE FIELD” OF REALY TV’S MANIPULATNS.WHEN HIS REAL WORLD WAS SHOWN 1994, PEOPLE YELLED AT HIM ON THE STREET, BEE THE FLEDGLG REALY-TV GENRE WAS VIEWED WH SUCH DISTASTE. NOW, WHEN HE IS REGNIZED, IS VARIABLY WH AFFECTN AND NOSTALGIA. THE HONTY, AS REPRENTED BY ZAMORA THAT EARLY SEASON, HAS NEVER HAPPENED AGA ON A REALY SHOW, HE THKS. “SOMETHG AMAZG AND ENLIGHTENG AND TERRIBLE AND HNTG HAPPENED 1994, AND THAT IS WHY HAS STOOD THE TT OF TIME. I DON’T THK OF PEDRO AS A HERO, OR AIDS ACTIVIST, OR AS A ‘FACE’ OF AIDS. HE WAS OUR IEND.”I ASK IF WICK HAS A FAVORE MEMORY OF TIME SPENT WH ZAMORA. THERE ARE TOO MANY, WICK SAYS, ALTHOUGH HE EVENTUALLY SGL OUT “THIS PERFECT DAY WHEN PAM, CORY, PEDRO, AND I WENT TO SSALO.” THE GROUP WAS WH A DIRECTOR WH A BASIC MERA. “IT FELT LIKE A REAL DAY. WE BOUGHT NDY NECKLAC, WENT TO THE AQUARIUM, RO TANM BIK, AND I WAS VERY NSC OF, ‘WE’RE ALL IENDS HERE. THIS IS GREAT. I WILL KNOW THE PEOPLE FOR THE RT OF MY LIFE.’” WICK PS. “AND I WAS RIGHT ABOUT MOST OF THAT.” TIM TEEMAN

NOT EVEN A STEADY RA KEPT THE CROWDS AWAY—SPE HAVG TO WA LE, GETTG DRENCHED, FOR CLOSE TO AN HOUR. WHEN ALMODóVAR TOOK THE STAGE TO TRODUCE THE FILM—ONE OF HIS FEW FORAYS TO ENGLISH-LANGUAGE CEMA—HE WAS JOED BY HAWKE AND A QUARTET OF HUNKY ACTORS (AMONG THEM MANU RS, OM THE H SPANISH TEEN SOAP ELE). IT ALL SEEMED TO SET THE STAGE FOR SOMETHG VIVID AND SENSUAL THE STYLE OF SO MANY OTHER ALMODóVAR FILMS. AND WAS BORNE OUT, ALBE LIMED WAYS, THE ACTUAL FILM. HAWKE PLAYS A SMALL-TOWN SHERIFF, JAKE, WHO IS VTIGATG THE MURR OF HIS SISTER--LAW AT THE HANDS OF HER LOVER. PASL IS SILVA, AN OLD IEND OF JAKE’S WHO RIS TO TOWN FOR SHADOWY PURPOS. AT LEAST PART OF HIS TENTN IS ROMANTIC: JAKE AND SILVA HAD A TWO-MONTH FLG MEXI SOME 25 YEARS PREV, A BRIEF AND WONRFUL GIVG- TO FORBIDN SIRE THAT SEEMS TO HAVE HNTED THE TWO MEN EVER SCE. SILVAN WANTS TO PICK UP WHERE THEY LEFT OFF, WHILE JAKE HALFHEARTEDLY RISTS. IN THAT SENSE, STRANGE WAY OF LIFE IS A MELODRAMA, WH LOTS OF HEAVY TALK ABOUT THE SWEET, EROTIC GLEAM OF THE PAST AND ALL THE BTER PROMIS OF THE PRENT. HAWKE AND PASL FD THE RIGHT TONE TO HANDLE ALL THIS FLORID EMOTG, WH ALMODóVAR MOSTLY GETTG OUT THEIR WAY.

ONE HOP THAT THIS MIGHT BE A MERE MO REEL FOR A FULL FEATURE FILM; ALMODóVAR HAS SAID HE IS GAG NFINCE DIRECTG ENGLISH, SO PERHAPS HE MIGHT FEEL READY TO PURSUE A MORE SUBSTANTIAL STORY WH PASL AND HAWK.

THEY WERE AS HAPPY AS HELL TOGETHER. WHEN THEY CID TO HAVE A MMENT CEREMONY, THIS WAS LONG BEFORE GAY MARRIAGE, SO WAS A PRETTY BIG AL. THE CREW [WHO WERE CLOSE TO THE HOEMAT AS THEY LIVED WH THEM] WERE STCTED NOT TO CRY. ON MELROSE PLACE THERE’D JT BEEN A SCENE WHERE THE GAY CHARACTER MATT WAS GOG TO KISS ANOTHER MAN, BUT THE MERA CUT AWAY AT THE LAST MOMENT.

I ALWAYS KNEW WHO I WAS. IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO PEDRO THAT I DID THIS. HE TOLD ME NOT TO JOKE ABOUT BEG BISEXUAL IF ANYONE ASKED ABOUT MY SEXUAL ORIENTATN. HE TOLD ME TO TELL THEM THE TTH—THAT I WAS STRAIGHT, AND THIS WAS PROOF THAT STRAIGHT AND GAY MEN ULD GET ON TOGETHER. ‘YOU’RE MY FIRST STRAIGHT IEND,’ PEDRO TOLD ME.” ZAMORA THOUGHT DIENC WOULD LISTEN TO WICK MORE PRECISELY BEE HE WAS A “WHE, STRAIGHT, LLEGE BOY.”THE PHRASE WHICH ALWAYS BOTHERED WICK WAS THAT HE AND THE OTHER HOEMAT HAD “ACCEPTED” ZAMORA, “WHEN HE WAS JT OUR IEND, AND ’S A DISSERVICE TO WHO HE WAS.”SASSER, WHO WENT ON TO BEE A PASTRY CHEF, WHILE ALSO WORKG FOR YOUTH AND MENTORG ANIZATNS, DIED LAST AUGT, SUDNLY, AGED 44.

I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE BEEN AT CY HALL WHEN OUR MAYOR, GAV NEWSOM, WENT LIGHTFULLY CRAZY [ 2004] AND STARTED MARRYG GAY AND LBIAN UPL. IT’S BEG MORE OBV: WE’RE BEG OLR.

HE REALLY DIDN’T KNOW HE WAS GOG TO DIE.” ZAMORA’S CLE WAS BTAL: HE SUFFERED OM PROGRSIVE MULTIFOL LKOENCEPHALOPATHY (PML), WHICH ATTACKED THE ONTAL LOBE OF HIS BRA, AND HE LOST HIS ABILY TO SPEAK, AND THEN BEME PROGRSIVELY MORE NFED. HE WAS TAKEN CRILLY ILL ILL ON A TRIP TO NEW YORK, WAS HOSPALIZED AT ST VCENT'S, BEFORE BEG FLOWN HOME TO MIAMI. “HE SUFFERED BADLY, WAS AWFUL,” SAYS WICK. “HE WHERED AWAY AND DIED.”ZAMORA NEVER KNEW THE EFFECT HE HAD HAD, SAYS WICK, ALTHOUGH BEFORE HE DIED HE WAS PRELIMARY DISCSNS WH MTV ABOUT HOSTG HIS OWN TALK SHOW, WH ZAMORA KEEN NOT TO BE BOXED TO DISCSG HIV AND AIDS EVERY WEEK, BUT YOUTH AND HEALTH MORE WILY. AFTER ZAMORA’S ATH, WICK SPENT A YEAR AND A HALF TALKG TO AND LECTURG HALLS-FULL OF PEOPLE. “I WASN’T AN AIDS ADVOTE, THERE WAS A HUGE LEVEL OF HYPOCRISY. I WASN’T POSIVE, I WASN’T A GAY MAN. I TRIED TO BE AS HONT AS POSSIBLE.” HE LGHS. “PEDRO SAID, ‘THEY’LL E AND LISTEN TO YOU ‘S YOU’RE ON THAT DAMN SHOW. THEY’LL ASK YOU STUPID QUTNS ABOUT PUCK, SO LET’S DO THIS.’” BUT WICK FOUND DIDN’T GET EASIER THE MORE HE SPOKE ABOUT ZAMORA—HE JT KEPT RELIVG THE PA OF THE EXPERIENCE OF LOSG HIM, SO HE STOPPED.HE DON’T WATCH THE REAL WORLD NOW: “I’M A 44-YEAR-OLD DU. IT WOULD BE A KD OF CREEPY SCENAR.” BUT HE AND LG DO ENJOY TOP CHEF AND PROJECT RUNWAY, NOTG HE AND LG ARE “AN EXPERTS THE FIELD” OF REALY TV’S MANIPULATNS.WHEN HIS REAL WORLD WAS SHOWN 1994, PEOPLE YELLED AT HIM ON THE STREET, BEE THE FLEDGLG REALY-TV GENRE WAS VIEWED WH SUCH DISTASTE. NOW, WHEN HE IS REGNIZED, IS VARIABLY WH AFFECTN AND NOSTALGIA. THE HONTY, AS REPRENTED BY ZAMORA THAT EARLY SEASON, HAS NEVER HAPPENED AGA ON A REALY SHOW, HE THKS. “SOMETHG AMAZG AND ENLIGHTENG AND TERRIBLE AND HNTG HAPPENED 1994, AND THAT IS WHY HAS STOOD THE TT OF TIME. I DON’T THK OF PEDRO AS A HERO, OR AIDS ACTIVIST, OR AS A ‘FACE’ OF AIDS. HE WAS OUR IEND.”I ASK IF WICK HAS A FAVORE MEMORY OF TIME SPENT WH ZAMORA. THERE ARE TOO MANY, WICK SAYS, ALTHOUGH HE EVENTUALLY SGL OUT “THIS PERFECT DAY WHEN PAM, CORY, PEDRO, AND I WENT TO SSALO.” THE GROUP WAS WH A DIRECTOR WH A BASIC MERA. “IT FELT LIKE A REAL DAY. WE BOUGHT NDY NECKLAC, WENT TO THE AQUARIUM, RO TANM BIK, AND I WAS VERY NSC OF, ‘WE’RE ALL IENDS HERE. THIS IS GREAT. I WILL KNOW THE PEOPLE FOR THE RT OF MY LIFE.’” WICK PS. “AND I WAS RIGHT ABOUT MOST OF THAT.” TIM TEEMAN

It isn't absolutely nfirmatn that Pedro is gay, of urse. Given Sandberg and Saan's ments, however, we're almost certa the le is meant to imply Pedro is gay. We wouldn't classify one le that uld be terpreted a number of ways as full-on gay reprentatn.

And was the season of Pedro Zamora, the young, gay, HIV-posive man, whose livg wh the disease on mera, humanly, day-to-day wh hoemat, helped shape a young generatn’s more clive view of homosexualy and livg wh HIV and AIDS. ”In 2014, this might sound grandiloquent and overstated, but 1994 there were few openly gay men on TV, and few people wh AIDS.

Zamora was one of morn TV’s first three-dimensnal gay men: romantic, tough, funny, nontatnal, and nobody’s, who was the cute, straight, preppy one, still liv San Francis, and is a rtoonist who has jt been missned to wre a graphic novel seri for children. ”Wick said he was nervo gog to the hoe: While was “fairly signifint” that Zamora was gay, his HIV stat was—before the two beme such good iends—ncerng. And for Pedro the stak were higher: He would let down his fay, gay people, and people wh AIDS.

IS PEDRO PASL GAY?

” As for the notor Puck (real name: David Raey), Zamora clashed wh him over Raey stickg his fgers a jar of peanut butter after pickg his nose; Raey’s obnoxns and homophobia were also highlighted. Pedro had had wh Puck’s homophobic behavr. When they cid to have a mment ceremony, this was long before gay marriage, so was a pretty big al.

GAY

On Melrose Place there’d jt been a scene where the gay character Matt was gog to kiss another man, but the mera cut away at the last moment.

” Knowg Zamora helped Wick bee “the more open-md person I wanted to be, jt as the lns watchg Pedro as a gay person, livg wh AIDS, changed mds. He told me to tell them the tth—that I was straight, and this was proof that straight and gay men uld get on together.

I would have loved to have been at Cy Hall when our mayor, Gav Newsom, went lightfully crazy [ 2004] and started marryg gay and lbian upl.

SILVAN WANTS TO PICK UP WHERE THEY LEFT OFF, WHILE JAKE HALFHEARTEDLY RISTS. IN THAT SENSE, STRANGE WAY OF LIFE IS A MELODRAMA, WH LOTS OF HEAVY TALK ABOUT THE SWEET, EROTIC GLEAM OF THE PAST AND ALL THE BTER PROMIS OF THE PRENT.
