The conversation touches on homophobia, the AIDS stigma, racism in healthcare and musing about a future Governor Stacey Abrams.

“We’re definitely going to have a black woman governor in the next two years – Stacey Abrams. We already have a Black vice president. So we’re we’re moving that way. They are afraid [of us] and there will be some people out there trying to stop us, but we’re headed in [the right] direction.”
