World AIDS Day, December 1st

LipstickLola · 11-27-2010, 08:43 PM

My cousin, that I spoke of in another thread, died from AIDS in the 80's.
He was a professionally trained musician. His voice was nothing short of magnificent. I'd give my right arm to hear him again......

In memory of my cousin PH.
With love always, until we meet again. ox

The largest traveling section of the AIDS Memorial Quilt is on display on the grounds of the Clinton Library. At midnight tonight, local people began reading names of people who have died from AIDS. The reading will continue throughout the night (in below freezing temps) and end at midnight tomorrow night.

An ecumenical service at St. Mark's Lutheran Church, S.F. A service of remembrance and hope. I will be one of the storytellers, after spending nearly 20 of first years of this epidemic as a healthcare provider.

It is extremely important for religious entities to be involved in a non-judgmental, welcoming, and affirming, especially in light of HIV. Especially, in my experience, so many POC with HIV either remain church connected to, or conflicted by some denominations stand on homosexuality. Contrary to the uninformed beliefs of many, not all Christian denominations condemn homosexuality. Like the democrats, I fear that we, progressive Christians, don't make as much noise!

In Oakland, CA, the HIV prevelance continues among African Americans and with new cases, women. The straight to gay ratio is nearly parallel. As in southern hemisphere countries, HIV is not just a disease of homosexuality. Ok. I'm done

Just a topic near and dear. I lost my brother and favorite nephew to AIDS.

While persuing my degree in Human Services, back in the late 90's, early 00's, I was lucky enough to do one of my practicums at the Interior AIDS Association in Fairbanks, Alaska. I will never forget the brave people I met there that shared their stories with me, and how really isolated we were as an organization due to our location and resources. Looking at their website now, I am glad to see that is changing.
