"The criminalization of HIV is not about prevention, reduction, or 'risk', but is instead about the policing of sex, gender, and sexuality. The state appears to believe that the way to deal with HIV is to criminalize it, further stigmatize it, and perpetuate the conflation of HIV/AIDS and queerness"-- Michelle C. Potts

“Impossibility may very well be our only possibility. What would it mean to embrace, rather than any away from, the impossibility of our ways of living as well as our political visions? What would it mean to desire a future that we can’t even imagine but that we are told couldn’t ever exist?”- Bassichis, Lee & Spade
