Reggie Bullock of the Detroit Pistons was the first active player to ride on the NBA Pride’s float. He rode on the float to honor the life of his sister Mia, a trans woman who was murdered in Baltimore at the age of 26. In the fourth episode of #KikisWithLouie, Reggie sits down to talk family, loss, and his journey to becoming an LGBTQ ally. All athletes should have the same access to the sport they love.

“Kissing Doesn’t Kill“ (Black and white postcard) from 1980’s ACT UP campaign for HIV/AIDS awareness.
This is the banner that was put up on buses to create awareness! a lot of companies cropped out the bottom so I thought it would be cool to share the full version
On the 30th Anniversary of World AIDS Day we amplified the voices of young people living with HIV. Activist Marnina Miller discussed her experiences as a Black woman committed to ending HIV stigma and discrimination in her community.
as we close out #AIDSAwareness week and on this 30th annual observance of world aids day, we are reminded of the powerful and visionary words of queer & aids activist, val russo:
“Someday, the AIDS crisis will be over. Remember that. And when that day comes - when that day has come and gone, there’ll be people alive on this earth - gay people and straight people, men and women, black and white, who will hear the story that once there was a terrible disease in this country and all over the world, and that a brave group of people stood up and fought and, in some cases, gave their lives, so that other people might live and be free.”
My Story Out Loud is a digital storytelling project dedicated to uplifting the narratives of LGBTQ+ youth of color and young people living with HIV across the nation by capturing our stories and experiences.
