A 26-year-old gay youth activist who worked with HIV/AIDS charities in New York and graduated from the Harvey Milk High School committed suicide over the weekend. Rod 2.0 spoke with friends and colleagues of gay youth activist and HIV peer educator Joseph Jefferson. “Joseph was truly a sweetheart,” a friend who asked to remain nameless said. “Extremely bright and impassioned about social justice causes… It’s such a loss.” On Saturday, Jefferson posted on his Facebook page: “I could not bear the burden of living as a gay man of color in a world grown cold and hateful towards those of us who live and love differently than the so-called ’social mainstream.’”
