RIP – DENNIS deLEON

EXPIRED: 12/14/09 – Dennis deLeon, 61, fought for people with HIV-AIDS who couldn’t fight for themselves. He put up a grand fight.

He’d seen HIV-positive friends, neighbors and co-workers relegated to crap jobs at work, passed over for promotions or out-and-out fired. He recognized this as discrimination and he wasn’t going to stand for it. Why would he? He himself was HIV positive since 1986.
