In 1994, Zamora captured the hearts of millions as the first-ever openly gay, HIV-positive main character on TV -- on MTV's The Real World: San Francisco. Zamora's time in the house on Lombard Street brought a face to the AIDS crisis. President Bill Clinton has long credited Zamora with personalizing and humanizing the epidemic, and he will introduce Pedro when it makes its world television premiere April 1st. |
