Mary Fisher Part 1 "A Whisper of AIDS"

[brilobabe1]

touching indeed

[ToxicW0lf]

Bitch soulda bought a condom

[AngieBethAllen]

@ToxicW0lf she got it from her dirt bad husband

[BLACKIESBOY]

It's weird the Wikipedia page about the 1992 Republican Convention this took place at never mentions Mary Fisher being there...

A big contrast to the other speakers. Pat Buchanan comes to mind, what with the "cultural conflict" stuff and whatnot.

[cre8Athief]

Sleep with the angels? Sounds dirty to me :p

[AMpufnstuf]

Sleep with the angels; tacky as fuck

[Katiesmartgirl56]

as good as a speech i think this is, i am SO sick of seeing it as an oratorical interpertation for speech team. 

[Mobee211]

I have my public speaking students analyze this speech every year. It never fails to bring us to tears.

[sanjeev810851]

its just a amazing that being a female she gave a speech on a thing what we hesitate of

[AKAjocey]

This speech is really "deep"

[wobbygongman]

Good speech!

[BriCareful]

this is my oritorical interp

[AngelQueen55]

you know what seriously how can you call someone you dont even understand a 'fag' its not right you think you understand someone but you don't know this woman, she is truly inspirational because her message still stands strong today... Think about it it could be you who are next infected and not because your gay but because you weren't careful.

Don't judge somone because of what they stand for. Care about who may be the next to suffer because it could be you

[tallderektoronto]

Amen

[5468024]

I was just with her on Capitol Hill advocating for access to quality HIV care for the needs of HIV patients to be considered in health care reform. She is doing well, and is still a wonderful and tireless advocate. I'm proud to know her :-)

[Latrueboricua007]

can anyone give me her other really famous speech which is called "Deeper Grief"?

[pennysky23]

We have killed each other with our ignorance, our prejudice, and our silence.

[Moshid88]

WOW that was Powerful, POWERFUL< AMAZing... she is so true.

[juciyfruit101]

my friend is saying this speech in and oritorical contest we all have to choose a speech

[thedecider1984]

how did she get it

[samkisam]

from her husband

[derekk07]

That speech was amazing, one of the all time best I think. Even today people are still amazingly ignorant about HIV/AIDS.

[hownos]

is she dead ????

[chavez78]

No, she's still living. You might Google someone before you just ask "is she dead?" though. That sounds a little cold.

[melijaje06]

No, it is not. This is from 1992 (16 years ago) Its a perfectly legit question for someone with HIV.

[sparcusmarcu]

It's an honest question.

[jensennn93]

I didn't know shw was still alive. Oops, I would've known

[dozmaster]

"adolencenst dont give each other cancer or heart dieasese because they believe they are in love, but hiv is different: and we have helped it along: we have killed each other with our ignorance, our prejudice, and our silence."

i swear to god she's a virgin.

[gothhgiirl]

She got it from her husband.

Try saying what you said to someone with AIDS.

[mileysocool]

OMG my aunt suzie lives with Mary Fisher. She is awesome. I ♥ her. ROCK ON!!

[clepatra1973]

you people may laugh, but aids wasn't spoken about in the 90's! If people found out I had aids They shunned and looked down upon me. I am very thankful for mary for being such a bold woman and bringing the topic into play. I wish i could thank her personally!

[chibichibininjachibi]

I'd tap that, you know if she didn't have AIDS.

[malcolmchun]

mary fisher is beautiful.

[redvigilante]

I'm sure she will never see that, but it is a great speech. One of the best I have ever heard, very emotional.

[lulalalulalalu]

u are beautiful
