Stewart (A0.1087954). “Do Not Turn Away†by songwriter John Bucchino is a song born of the AIDS era, inspired by the story of ‘a young boy, who was HIV positive, who had come out to his parents’ and ‘they kicked him out of the house’. This situation of being ‘disowned’ by one’s family prevails throughout the LGBTQ community today.
