Perhaps one of RM Vaughan’s most memorable pieces was this powerful essay on coming-of-age and coming out at the height of the AIDS crisis. “I was afraid of sex and afraid of being gay well into my 20s,” he wrote. “Shame is a strange virus too.” (5/5) https://t.co/7U8BAzN83C

I’m devastated by the news of RM Vaughan, who I co-facilitated a workshop with @gardinermuseum‘s Ai Weiwei exhibit in 2019. He was so smart and spirited, and I learned so much from him. Of course, I loved reading his words in @XtraMagazine and beyond. We’ll miss him dearly. https://t.co/pv56h4tEBP
