Men Like You

AIDS once threatened the community, culture, and survival of gay men.But what if the story were reversed? Would we learn from the past, or make new mistakes?Men Like You reimagines how society responds to a pandemic when only straight men are the ones getting sick.Told through eighteen lightly interwoven perspectives, this book traces how individuals and communities bend beneath the weight of crisis.Each voice reveals a different face of fear, denial, and resilience. Each story exposes how narratives are written for us and who they leave behind. Together, they show how humanity fractures under pressure and how silence becomes its own contagion.What emerges is not a single story, but a chorus.When the villain is not human, who do we blame, and what does it take to survive?
