      We got up, bright and early — my boyfriend and me and many others — to help unfurl the entire Quilt at the time all over the National Mall.

      Once we got down there, though, the simplicity of opening up a quilt was replaced by The Quilt and The Mall.pic.twitter.com/n51oXOQVFU

      Then, at some point, it hit you that this enormity was all loss. That each panel was a person no longer contributing wonder to our world.

      You saw the panel for ROGER HORWITZ. The "❤️ PAUL MONETTE" reminded you of the power of gay love in the AIDS era.pic.twitter.com/i6qB9vWAkG

      As a memorial, it was unforgettable. I learned so much — about specific people, but also about perspective and scope and how much we lost.

          The romantic relationship is long over between us, but our relationship, our friendship, is stronger than ever.

          Jono, an earlier riser than me, was the person who called me to wake me up on Sept. 11, 2001. ... On Sunday, he called me again.

          When I got home from the newspaper I was working at in Ohio on Sept. 12, 2001, I called him and we talked until I could sleep.

          He has known me more than 20 years, we dated, he took me to my first gay club, he has helped me when I lose my path.

          He's probably also the person who taught me that walking around the Dupont Circle fountain with a guy will always be beautiful and precious.

          There's a lot floating around in my head tonight—21 years of living as an out gay man—but support and love and relationships are everything.

          I've gone on too long, but it's probably the week for that. Seriously: Talk to each other; support one another; if you can, love others.
