I’m going to try really hard not to make this personal, but it’s hard. It’s vow I’ve tried to maintain for sometime now. Sometimes successfully, sometimes not.
Having participated in the at times controversial (depending on who you are) HIV stigma campaign, I’ve learned to hear different views. And I got to hear a lot of them. Everything from the campaign is great, contributing to stigma itself, to stigma only exists in one’s head.
Admittedly it was a hard campaign to be on as the theme is such a highly individual experience seen through so many personalized filters that you can rarely say to someone they way y...

I’m in Winnipeg. The battle of the Snuggie is over, I am remain triomphant.
Actually, it was never a battle in my mind. I was though in my aunts. Trust The Snuggie to bring out such a low lever of dysfunctionality within at least one member of the family.
I left a message on her facebook page just to tease her play with her if she was going to be a cow about it all, with no intention of giving the damn thing to my grandmother. The way I see it, the more the merrier for Victoria to have a photo taken at high tea at The Empress Hotel.

I voted for Barak Obama, although to me none of the available list of candidates seemed very appealing.

My how time flies whether you're having a good time or not, 28 years!I'm still amazed and totally dumbfounded at how many times Bush and his cronies got a "get out of jail free card" and got to pass go and collect 2 billion dollars time and time again, considering the high crimes they committed....and barely a whimper fro...

For those who care about the cause of HIV/AIDS, it’s vexing that an issue of such importance, gravity and urgency rarely seems to earn headlines, let alone placement on the front pages of national newspapers. That’s why many of us were surprised to see that HIV/AIDS had finally made it to the front pages of the New York Times website, for well over a week running now. Has there been a revolutionary medical or policy advance? Not exactly. It turns out that all it would have taken to get HIV/AIDS onto these front pages was money. And a blind eye.

Yesterday, I posted on Twitter a link to my Positively HIV-larious which makes reference to my favourite pioneers in gallows humour, the authors of “Diseased Pariah News, or DPN.”
In the article I make reference to , their recipe segment “Get Fat Don’t Die” was a classic. And who could forget the outrageous AIDS Barbie, with designer bed pans and gurney. Then several issues they came out with the Malibu Home Hospice accompanied by the tag line “Don’t let your AIDS Barbie wither away in a shoebox.”
The authors of this zine were all in advanced stages of AIDS in the 1980s when there was no hope, and no treatm...

You’ve heard that old canard. “The dictionary defines marriage as…” Well guess what? What’s good for the goose is now good for the gays. The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, that descriptive dictionary born with the american revolution, defines marriage this way:
Main Entry: mar•riage
Pronunciation: \ˈmer-ij, ˈma-rij\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English mariage, from Anglo-French, from marier to marry
Date: 14th century

good morning president garcetti,
distinguished council members. richard
kearns, poet activist. i have given the clerk a
copy of my prepared remarks.
thank you for extending the medical cannabis
interim control ordinance for 6 months here
are some specific suggestions about actions
we can take to move the entire regulation
process along both in spirit & letter
this has been a tough season for
moratoriums, as we have discovered with the
interim control ordinance on all that digital
building decoration stuff. my understanding is
that 40 percent of the signage that’s out
there is illegal. sounds kind of...

Edition #364, January 21 -February 4, 2009
Once upon a time I adopted a mutt, Spencer, from the Humane Society. For some bonding time, I brought him to the Toronto PWA Foundation, where I worked. Someone petted Spencer and asked how old he was. Upon being informed that Spencer was 10 I was sarcastically asked, “Why’d you get a dog so old?”
I quickly retorted, “Because I wanted a pet I’d outlive.” And then I laughed.
The topic was never raised again.
Over two decades ago, when I received a positive HIV test result, I felt suspended in a void between laughing and ...

I love this photo.
Ok, if there is one thing I have learned, is to give it away all in the first shot. That’s why I charged.
But I digress.
What I’m actually trying to say is that I’m not going to show you my entire evening with Richard Ryder right away. This also will help hid the fact that I haven’t downloaded the video, let alone edit something up. I will say that it was a fabulous night, lots of fun and you should really go see his show.
However, I thought I would do a review of my experience of being deflowered in my first-time ever wearing of a Snuggie, and recorded for posterity. It’s n...

The Peace Prayer of St. Francis
by an anonymous Norman c. 1915 A.D. Peace Prayer
Lord make me an instrument of your peace
Where there is hatred,
Let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is error, truth;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, Joy.

Yes I know, back lighting is not great, but it help hid my tired hideous bags under my eyes!
I asked for Snuggie Love to posts ago, and I got lots of it. So much so I may have to check myself out at Hasslefree. But I don’t think you can get anything from fleece that softly caresses my……ah I’ll stop there.
Many a time in my life I have asked for things, and never my requests have ever come to fruition. Now that it has, I never thought it would have ever been a Snuggie.
Maybe I’ve underestimated this new-found subculture of the Snuggie world. Trust me though I have big plans for these Snuggies. There going to go on...

I dedicate this video for the Popes irresponsible statements in Africa against condom use for HIV prevention, thus reinforcing an already negative male attitude against them. Well hey the pope says so. That’s right truck drivers who are having lots of sex on the road, no condoms are needed, and in particular for your wife.
But hey, if she became positive you’d just blame her, disown her, and the kick her out without a single penny.
This Popes true colours are showing. Keep them poor, uneducated, sick, and most of all, procreating.
I don’t do rants often on here, but that was so out of touch with reality i...
