Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

–Robert Frost

A friend posted a Facebook update recently about the death of a homeless man in his neighborhood who succumbed to AIDS. Meanwhile, over at The New Gay, columnist Jeremy Gloff writes that the boy he loved is homeless in San Francisco and HIV positive:

This week I was emailed again by one of his old friends and informed that he has AIDS and is still homeless. I am sitting in a silent, air conditioned, comfortable apartment as I write this. I want to break windows and scream and get in my car and drive 3,000 miles just to find him and put my arms around him. I wonder if he knows how much he was loved? How much he still is loved? Fuck. [Story]

We’ll never know how those men found themselves on their particular paths. Maybe it was fate, circumstance, or a series of choices.

Nobody knows where they might end up.

The folks at WeHoLife.org have launched a new HIV prevention and education campaign in the form of an online Web series. Think Melrose Place meets Queer As Folk. According to In the Moment:

IN THE MOMENT is an online web series that follows the lives of a group of gay guys living in the same apartment complex in West Hollywood, California. Like most of us, they’re faced with a huge range of decisions about sex, and the decisions they make impact their lives and the lives of people around them. IN THE MOMENT is also about starting an open, honest conversation among gay guys in the Los Angeles area about these types of decisions.

The series is mildly entertaining and the eye candy is plentiful. Here is Episode 1:
