Gregory Ramos is one man with many identities.

In the play "Border Stories," he portrays 20 characters, including a priest who ministers to people with AIDS; a transsexual who left home because his parents said, "Not in this house"; an elderly gay man who didn't come out until late in life ("I had lived my life, 50 years, hiding"); and a Mexican-American woman who overcame the condemnation of friends and neighbors to acknowledge that her son had died of AIDS and that she was proud of the way he had lived his life.
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
