Pedro Zamora
“The Real World: San Francisco”
Mature beyond his 22 years, Pedro Zamora entered The Real World house to make a difference—he was living with AIDS, and made it his mission to educate his housemates—and America—about the disease. We saw Pedro struggle with health issues and AIDS-phobia, and still find time for a loving relationship with his partner, Sean.
Pedro died November 11, 1994-the day the season finale aired.
His life was dramatized in the film Pedro, written by future Oscar winner Dustin Lance Black. This brave activist’s legacy lives on through the Pedro Zamora Public Policy Fellowship and the Pedro Zamora Young Leaders Scholarship.
