I stand corrected. I just assumed the death was HIV-related since he announced it openly when he was diagnosed with it and he did so without seeing it as any stigma. I'm glad this was not the cause of his demise. I don't think BW needs anyone's empathy. He was at peace with himself in life. May his legacy of good penmanship outlive him.

Dear All,
Binyavanga Wainaina is (was) a He. He was born in January 1971, and he didn't die of HIV infection. He suffered a stroke, his second in four years. People rarely survive two strokes.
I hope this helps? Please show some empathy and thoughtfulness in your comments with regard to the great man.

I liked you but never liked your gay activism, but it was your choice and I respected that.
Peace to your creative soul brother!
CAO.
