Love, Stigma, and the Law with Robert Suttle: On HIV Criminalization and Life After Injustice


Listen Later

What happens when outdated laws and stigma collide with your most personal truths? In this powerful episode, activist Robert Suttle shares his story of being prosecuted under Louisiana’s HIV criminalization laws—and how that conviction shaped his experience of dating, intimacy, and identity as a gay Black man in the South. We talk about what it means to build a full life after incarceration, how HIV laws perpetuate injustice, and why living single can be a radical act of freedom.
Follow Robert on Instagram at @suttlevision and learn more about the fight to end HIV criminalization.
