Alex Habib, a retired flight attendant and labor-union representative, speaks about moving to New York City from a conservative Christian college in the midwest in a time when he was figuring out his sexuality. Speaking on the fear many felt during the AIDS epidemic, he draws on parallels to the modern COVID-19 pandemic.
