My name is Sinead. I was 16 years old when I first saw MTV the Real World, I am now 34. My sister was 15. I just want to say how far Pedro's message spread and how much he touched our lives. 18 years later, I never forgot just how brave, fearless, kind warm and selfless he really was. Both me and my sister learned so much from you Pedro not just about AIDS and how a person is living with any illness and not dying. As a result of your education, we both have raised money for AIDS foundations. You were an inspiration to be then and still are to this day. I will never forget you x
Hope you are resting in peace Pedro - you are always here with us. I read an article today about your Puck going to prison - it is funny how life works.
I travel alot up & down the Northern part of Interstate 5. Every single time I pass the tiny little town of Zamora....I think of him and the show. Interesting how things stick with you for so long. <3
I work for Christopher House of Hope (CHOH) in West Palm Beach Florida. I watched the original show on MTV and I remember keeping track of it and it was a very positive attitude being that I was the same age and a gay male. A good friend of mine brought me home a dvd of Pedro and I cant thank you enough. We work with alot of people that are in need but that movie opened up my heart to people that we need to help. We are a non profit organization with a big heart that helps those in need, whether it be homelessness, alcoholism, drug addiction or those needing a "hand up", we are here for them. I am hoping for the future, so I would like to say thank you and I am hoping that with the facility that we have that we can open it up to the Gay and Lesbian community. Sincerely yours, Patrick V. Rush
Thank you for all what you did and your legacy! Hope that the world would united to concentrate in a cure for HIV. God Bless you as I know God has a place for you! CJ
Always a bright star in my life Xoxo
I learned of Pedros story years ago. living his life so freely openly ( to t he end) altered the way individuals view HIV & Aids.. and it aslo spoke MASSES about his courage as a person. I see a beauty in him that has been absent on this planet for quite sometime. His passion for education to teens and adults through his speeches & educating by allowing others to view his life and death is one of the most selfless acts of kidness that claims beauty of another realm. on top of being stunningly handsome, his soul was just as beautiful. I love you Pedro and you will live on in me for an eternity. Rest well beautiful.
After watching the movie and MTV tribute dedicated to Pedro, I was very touched and emotional. I've never heard of Pedro until this moment. When he was alive and doing all those goodness, I was just a wee child. So I'm glad, even after 17yrs, I got the chance to learn about Pedro, his story, his love for people, his ambition, his ability to draw people and make them fall in love with him. I hope that his legacy shall forever rain among us. I hope his courageous acts and his unselfish need to help other will be a source of inspiration for many generations to come. Thank you Pedro, you are indeed a butterfly in a mist x
Remembering Pedro Zamora 17 years later. RIP Pedro.
I've seen "Real World to San Francisco" in 1994 when I was 14 years old. I was so inlove with Pedro, with his joy and his willing to share the life with others. No I'm almost 31, being HIV positive and I hope I'll find the power to do for others what Pedro did so well.
Lots of support and good wishes to you.
Pedro Zamora was a hero. He has saved so many lives and will continue to do so because he fought to educate. Knowledge is power and that's a gift he gave so many. It's unbelievable to think how much he achieved in just 22 years and I'm sure I'm not the first to be inspired by Pedro's story to fight for what I believe in.
im 20 years old and i heard about pedro few days ago as i was watching real world san francisco, im truly inspired by him he was amazing human being!
I cant believe I just heard about Pedro´s story two day ago...we are in 2011. Since I saw his movie I have not been able to take him out of my mind. I researched about him, saw all his videos on you tube, and that even mad it worst, just realizing that he was such a great guy broke my heart into pieces. What a wonderful and brave human being, a real inspiration to all of us and to many generations to come. "Pedrito, descansa en paz, gracias por el tiempo que nos regalaste, nunca te olvidaremos y nos veremos en un futuro Dios primero"
I just watched the real world series and the movie and have been incredibly moved by this great man. It's a true testament to his life that his work still has such power to inspire over 16 years after his passing. May his spirit live on.
I just discovered about Pedro's amazing life and work as AIDS educator. My deepest respect for this wonderful, compassionate young man. Well Done!!!!

Being from the UK, I'd not really heard of Pedro before. I came across the movie of his life as a recommendation by an online DVD rental service just this last week and ordered it. The film was so touching it reduced me to tears. After some googling, I'd read about Pedro's work and then just had to watch all 20 episodes of the original "The Real World" series from 1994, which is still available online (as was the MTV tribute that aired after his death). It was riveting TV, but a little weird to think that this drama played out 16 years ago!! The honesty, integrity and good humour that Pedro showed was just so heartwarming. What a wonderful man he was, and what a privilege for all those who knew him. As a gay doctor working in the field of HIV / AIDS, it stuck me just how successful Pedro was in communicating his message in a way that we the medical profession often fail to do. Although I never met him, I feel an emotional connection with Pedro. Hopefully, through his legacy, others will get to discover the life and work of this lovely human being.
just watched the tribute to dear Pedro again and i still get upset and angry that he died so, so young. my memories of him on the real world are of awe at his spirit and courage, respect for his family and friends and of having a massive crush on the cutest cuban i'd ever seen. They say one person, one idea can change the world, the Zamora family must be so proud that Pedro was one of those persons.
I became inspired after done some research about Pedro, he left behind an amazing legacy for many of us to learn.He was a very brave man, and although I feel is sad that he isn't around us anymore, I know he is resting in a beautiful place. R.I.P Pedro =)
Even now I look at his photos and think God he was an inspiration!
I was so very young when the Real World aired with Pedro. I later saw an episode that was in tribute to him and decided to do research on him. I came to find that there was a movie made about his life and watched it. I have to say that it was the most inspirational thing I have ever seen in my life and one of the most touching stories. I cried so much during that movie because I understand the pain that his family went through but I could never imagine the pain that he felt. I share my love with all of his family and hope that they still know that all of these years later that he is still in everyones hearts and minds and still inspires many. Even though he is no longer here with us on earth he and his works will always live on with us.
I really enjoyed watching The Real World back in 1995. Pedro was a very brave amazing young man!! Pedro woked very hard teaching young people about safer sex and using condoms!! Like Emma I have decided to do some voluntary work in sexual health! We will continue with your amazing work Pedro. Rest well x
I watched the real world - San Fransisco when I was just 15. I have never forgotten Pedro and the work that he did to help educate our youth. I am now dedicated to the cause and do voluntary work for Terrance Higgins Trust. Pedro this is for you! Always in my heart, a beautiful angel in heaven. xxx
I never knew Pedro personally, but I know his struggle. Because I , too have the dieasese. My only regret in life is that I could not have met him. It really sucks, knowing that you will die an early death. On top of it all, I believe that we share the same mental illness, too. The world is a much colder place without you here.
I can not believe Pedro left this earth over 15 years ago. I recently watched the DVD of the movie Pedro and it brought back tons of memories of the early days of the AIDS crisis and memories of loving Pedro from afar for being a truly wonderful human being. I can't sleep now that the film has hit me emotionally in the stomach.
I did not know Pedro, I really wish I had. When I saw The Real World tribute to Pedro, I cried like crazy at the end. A great, sweet, gentle man like him, did not deserve to die that young. I wrote some poems for him, just as if he was there to hear them. He has made the world more tolerant, and has tought a lot us us not to be afraid of people with HIV/AIDS, but to help get the word out. We have to win this fight for Pedro, because he trusted us to find a cure.
Pedro Zamora was a great friend of mine. May his sole rest in peace. I will always love him. His spirit lives on. Thank you for being so brave.
Before Pedro died from Aids, he taught the rest of us how to live.
I still cry each time I see clips of Pedro. How could such a wonderful, beautiful, tireless advocate have died? Pedro lives in the hearts of those who will always remember his courage, determination, charisma and true beauty. If only he could have lived to benefit from the treatments available today. We love you Pedro!!!!
I'm agree with you, I wish Pedro would have lived longer and benefit from medications that are available nowadays
It's been 15 years since your passing. Your message of tolerance and your fight against ignorance transcends the scourge of any disease. RIP my friend.
Its been 15 years ago today when he passed away. Although there is still no known cure for AIDS we have come a long way. Be safe and be responsible.
Pedro, you were truly a brilliant reflection of God's light here on earth. You've touched me in a way few people do. I am so grateful that God graced us with one of his angels for 22 years. Your wonderful spirit lives on in my heart.
Pedro, you were an angel here on earth. You came on a mission--with a message from God. When your mission had been completed and the message delivered, you did not tarry. While we all wish you could have been here much longer because you had so much yet to give, God had other plans for you. May God bless you and keep you forever. You will never be forgotten.
I also watched the movies and i was touched I cried. THe movie showed friendship, love, and commitment. I loved it, im sad to see him go however im sure he is in everybodies heart. One peice of pedro in everyone. I was only in the 4th grade when the real worl SF aired......lol needless to say i watched all the episodes over. My uncle has aids he had it for over 10 years now and im just glad hes here to see is grand children. Ive also watched him loose every friend and companion in his life. It really sucks it does. I will never understand being a gay man but i do understand loosing a loved one, and for that i pray for my uncle.
I was so moved by Pedro because I had just recently been diagnosed myself. And then Real World 3 came on and there was Pedro. I immediately felt a connection (strange I know with it being edited and on TV) but my heart felt his spirit. And when they showed him and Sean Sasser together it gave me hope that I too could someday find love even with this disease. I am still looking for that love but Pedro has always remained in my mind. I feel as if he is a guardian angel for a whole lot of us. My life was never the same after seeing him on TV.
As An Ordained Minister My Blessings Go To Pedro and His Family.. May The Good Lord Keep Him In His Loving And Caring Arms.Amen Rev. Raymond Wyngaard of Wisconsin
I never had a chance to meet Pedro. After all when he was on TV i was very young. I just watched the Pedro movie on MTV today and i was so very touched. I balled my eye's out for his bravery. I think through Pedro's message he can teach everyone that life is short and you have to be thankful for what you have in your life. Regardless if you have Aid, HIV, Cancer etc. Life is purposeful, and it is so very important to find your purpose and live it out. May pedro rest in peace and may the world finally hear his message!
I did not know Pedro personally but was captivated by his beauty and intelligence the moment I was introduced to him on "Real World". He left an indelible impression on my heart and soul. I was so happy for him and Sean. (Sorta sad to hear that it was difficult for the Zamora family to accept Sean). There has been no one quite like Pedro. A Brave, brilliant, kind and handsome Guardian Angel that had a mission......however, brief his stay was here on earth. Seeing the surprisingly well done tele-pic on him recently, "Pedro", I found yet a new level of strength to face the trials and tribulations that life can bestow on us. Though I didn't know him....I miss him greatly. I am sure the universe has him gently cradled in joy ( and maybe a chance to be with his beloved Mother in spirit). A memory of him will always live in so many of us. Thank you Pedro for all that you gave to the world in your short but important stay.
i knew who pedro was but i never knew him...when i saw the movie i was happy because he did everything by himself...to me pedro was not just somebody living with AIDS but a hero...pedro was hero to all people i wish he was still alive so i would have the chance to tell him thank you for all your work and dedication. pedro will forever be missed and forever loved...he was a friend to those who knew him and a hero to those who loved him. pedro we love and we miss you forever homie and we will see you again
When the Real World: San Francisco aired I was too young to even understand what Gay or HIV even meant. But, recently I have learned so much more about the gay community being a gay man myself. From what I have learned about Pedro and his courageous efforts to inform young people on the issue of HIV/AIDs and protection, I know that he was an amazing person and will live on in the hearts of the people that knew him and those that share in his message. I recently saw the Pedro movie on MTV and just from watching this fact-based film I have become so much more comfortable with myself: I am a gay man. I thank him so much, and I pray for all that knew and lost him, and that one day I am able to accomplish as much as he did in his shortly lived life. I love you Pedro, and I thank you so much for all that you have left on this earth.
i just watched pedro the movie and it left me sad and inspired at the same time.i wanted to learn more about the real pedro zamora so i went on youtube and watched his tribuite in 6 parts and left me with tears but also with hope that there are other people like him.i am i am about to turn 22 this month and i am so glad i learned about pedro and his story a story to tell other about seeking help and comfort.....i wish he had the chance to see that his impact on people is still alive to today... and will be for years to come :) pedro is truly an angel
i think pedro is a star amongst the clouds,and he is an inspiration to all.especialy us gay men.pedro will always be remembered.my thaughts and prayers go out to his hausband and family
He was a true hero !! - Education and standing tall in his struggle, will always be remebered. I can only wish to be half the man that he was.... You impacted my life and so many others......THANK YOU
I remember when the Real World S.F. first aired. I had missed the majority of the program, however, I did catch a brief glimpse of the merger. Until this very day I had not forgotten it. I wished so hard that I could have seen that season. Then out of the blue, I see the movie "Pedro" being broadcast on MTV. I vowed that I would see it. That day that it was to air I happened to view MTV online and there was the link for viewing The Real World S.F. I watched nearly the whole season before the movie aired on tv. I like Brandy, cried like I had always known Pedro. It is such a loss to the world that someone so special left us. My prayers are with Pedro's family and to Sean.
When I was 11 years old I sat on my bed and cried my eyes out when I heard about Pedro's death. I was in shock. I recorded his tribute and to this day I have it on my vhs tape. My Mom would tell me to calm down or to relax cuz I cried as if I had known him my whole life. Pedro Zamora is an awesome, kind hearted person and he will never be forgotten. God Bless his family as well as his mother for blessing us with such a wondeful person. Your at peace Pedro but your soul lives on.....
I would have to say that Pedro was true hero , in confronting all the negatives aspects of life in the early 90's.I saw the movie of Pedro On MTV today April 2, 2009 and it move me, of how a strong man he was.Pedro was just not a leader in the gay community but also a friend to many he touch on tv and seminars.You will always be a be remember, May God Love You and have you in his Heart.To his sister you are a Angel to, such a great job you did in taking care of him to the last.
