WILL YOU HAVE "April Love; For the Earth & Each Other"!?
"from S Brian Equality Brian: Anyone can have a voice; get involved and make your voice heard. There has to be structure or else nothing would get decided on or resolved. This event has been promoted on all LGBT activists groups for months now; asking for help and joining in the planning and people have just ignored the requests, so there has to be a time when you go with who has voiced an interest to participate in the planning and that is exactly what the committee did with this. No one was left out, invites were sent out months ago to all organizations and it is the age old problem again that is always present and that is "EGO'S"; if it wasn't their or someone they know's idea, then they ignore the repeated pleas to get involved. Then once they see the event is really taking off with numerous media announcements and coverage then everyone wants to get involved and complain because they didn't have a say in how the event is being structured.
THERE IS STILL TIME TO GET INVOLVED AND MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD AS IT IS STILL 3 MONTHS OUT AND YOUR PARTICIPATION IS STILL WANTED AND DESIRED AND YOU CAN BRING WHATEVER ISSUES INTO YOUR LOCATION'S MARCH AS LONG AS THEY RELATE TO ADVANCING EQUAL HUMAN & CIVIL RIGHTS AND GETTING OUT THE VOTE IN NOVEMBER. LET US HEAR FROM YOU AND SHOW EVERYONE THAT WE CAN JOIN IN UNITY TO ADVANCE THE RIGHTS TO LIFE, LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS WORLDWIDE."
A moving and powerful announcement from WA Governor Gregoire.
Somedays, Life in The HIVe's a Bitch!!!
I'm doing the best I can, but it's not easy. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I recently sent a note to Oprah suggesting that she do a story on: "Life, and Living, with HIV/AIDS in America" as a result of this article. As a witness from the beginning and a survivor for the last eleven years now 19 20, I expressed my deep concern that the current medical advancements and increased longevity had only served to sugar-coat the reality doing a disservice to the public and actually impeding prevention efforts. This was brought home to me in the headlines, stories and events that are part of my experience.
I am very well aware that mine is a rather dark story that people do not want to hear, but I tell it to counter the sugar coating for the sake of prevention. I'm hoping that a heaping dose of my honest reality about "Life, and Living, with HIV/AIDS in America" - "that most of the time, it sucks... Big Time!" might succeed where the other side of the story hasn't.
Thanks for allowing me to share my Journey with y'all.
Best Regards, @SoBankQueenBee
