Aids Walk May 16, 2010

On May 16, 2010 God willing the entire Daniels Family will be walking the Aids Walk together in NYC. We have set a goal of raising $1,000 at least by the time we walk this fundraiser. This will be done as a family who is compiled by Nashalee, Foxxie-Jane, Jaylin, Nickii, Jasmine, Danity, Yoly & Barnie Daniels. The week before on May 9th we are also having a Family night at Escuelita Night Club NYC. Which will just showcase our talent and also hard work we put into raising the money for the Aids Walk. I came up with a system, that I hope, should push the younger ones to raise more money. For the Daniels night it wont be like the new trend [ A Benefit Show ]. Who ever raises $100 or more for the Aids Walk, they will be able to keep their tips for the night. Those who do not raise enough money will use their tips to buy a bunch of M.A.C. Viva Glam Lipsticks, which all proceeds are donated to the M.A.C. Aids fund.

I came up with this idea out of no where I feel like us as young gay Americas we should be doing more for our community. We actually have the freedom and accessibility to help those who are in need and come from almost a similar lifestyle like us. When you look around the world you see such ignorance and rage when it comes towards the LGBT community and us as Americans take it for granted. I think especially New Yorkers because even in our own country discrimination is still going on against us.

Which is pretty stupid I know maybe sometimes us “gays” may act out immaturely or just plain crazy. But people are just judging us on something we do like 3 hours at most out of the day. Our main difference from the rest of the “normal” world is we have sex or sexual arousal from the same sex. Other then that our worlds aren’t that different. Well maybe the drag queen and transsexual thing but hey let a bitch rock. Can people really feel the need to put us down and hurt us for an action that we don’t do on a daily basis?!

I feel as that if the gay community was more accepted from when we are young and we are allowed to let explore our own sexuality STD’s wouldn’t be as high. We are suppressed for so many years that once we get the chance to let loose we go crazy. Its like putting a dog in a cage most of its life ones you let it out to play in that big backyard he runs out mad and tries to enjoy all that he has been waiting to enjoy.

Well with all that said please any contribution will help, check out my page to make a donation it is going to a great cause. If you are not able to do so through the website please contact me directly at bamboo.texture@gmail.com with the subject title AIDS WALK.
