    I cried so much during this video. Watching him sit there overwhelmed and to weak to move. His spirit wanting to jump and rejoice but the body is not able. Heartbreaking.

    I'm a two-spirited guy from Canada. Having a powerful feminine spirit in a man's body is a gift from the Creator. I was and always will be a huge fan of Willi Ninja. Ever since I first saw "Paris is Burning" I knew we were in the presence of genius. Miigwech/Thank you for the joy you brought to my life. Miging! All My Relations!

    I’ll never stop missing this beautiful person and soul. We developed a special friendship, and I had the privilege of staying with him and his mother, Ms. Esther, at their home in Flushing for a few days. What not many many know, is that aside from being a brilliant talent, artist, inventor, and creator, Willie was one of the most loving and nurturing people, especially when it came to his mom. Any time he would go out of town, he would always ensure that he chose a dear friend or family member that he trusted to take care of her. In our last conversation on the phone, I didn’t grasp the severity of the situation, and I told him “please don’t give up,” and he replied “you know I’m not going anywhere…I won’t leave my mom.” He passed away a few days later. I cherish the memories.

      I wonder if he ever found out how he got infected (sex, who?, blood transfusion). Ignorant to believe every HIV infection is through sexual intercourse. But as you mention, people still fucked without condoms in the 90's and there was a price to pay for many. All great parties come to an end and sometimes, a vey sad one!!!

    @Funkycraze 15 лет назад +2

    Harsh is how ppl go about infecting others with hiv. harsh is how many ppl think being handsome and desirable give u a right to live the fast life. Harsh is how a man so much adored 4 his looks and popular 4 his dance moves had basically very few friends by his death bed. bcause once the show is over, so r the crazed friends and fans. when r ppl going to learn that HIV still kills. That lifestyle will kill you an horrible death, sometimes alone having to wonder how to pay ur hospital bills.

  • @Funkycraze
    @Funkycraze 15 лет назад +3

    I admire his moves just as much as U do, I saw that live in a straight club in the late 80s and thought that kind of dance was weird but yet fascinating the reason I researched it, He made it classy in a way and more of an art, but this said so many of these legends all die from AIDS, like plague and U instead of making it known so that the young generation in the lifestyle won't end up the same, u joke about it and call it legend, is death fun to U? where does recklessness ends 4 U? GROW UP

    Listen you queens who wish you were willie ninja. Yes he was talented, handsome and bla, bla, bla, but where is he now?? gone, Learn to love yourself and stop trusting ppl with your lives. Don't let your looks get to your head, that what killed Willy, he was sexy, talented and all the cute boys deserted him, to end up alone with no one to cheer for his dance moves, alone, so alone someone by pity had to throw a party to collect money for him, that is not glamourous, that is a sad ending.

  • @Funkycraze
    @Funkycraze 15 лет назад

    I remember seeing him in a video in 1990. I guess this was a way to raise money for him as he was dying from HIV. What a waste, if only he had not lived that gay lifestyle he would still be alive. I am sure all the party ppl he knew did not show up at the hospital once he did not look much like his old pretty self. Look at him what has he gain from the show, nothing a lonely end, no children, I mean bioligical. Glamour, fun and sex..with no one who truly cares once u got HIV!!
