In this issue of THE FIGHT
Brenden Shucart writes about AIDS
Healthcare Foundation’s Anti-PrEP
crusade (“Look Back In Shame,”
page 24).
“This month the AHF is rolling
out a new ad campaign entitled
‘PrEP: The Revolution That Didn’t
Happen,’” reveals Shucart.
“Scheduled to appear in a number
of publications that cater to the
LGBTQ communities—including the
Florida Agenda, Washington DC’s
Metro Weekly and Washington
Blade the South Florida Gay News,
Gay City News in New York City,
Dallas Voice, Georgia Voice, as
well as Frontiers and the Bay Area
Reporter here in California—the
purpose of this paid advertisement
is to discredit PrEP and stigmatize
those who would adopt it—despite
the fact that PrEP is almost 100%
effective at preventing the spread of
HIV,” explains Shucart.
“In fact,” states Shucart, ‘this
‘editorial advertisement’ (marketingspeak
for paid ads designed to
blend innocuously into the surrounding
magazine) is only the most

THEROSTOWREPORT
Whither the
Gay Agenda?
Happy New Year, my dear
readers of THE FIGHT. Are you
quite ready for another actionpacked,
suspenseful, festive
and riotous twelve months of
LGBT civil rights excitement?
Then let’s get started, brothers
and sisters in struggle!
Actually, it feels as if some
of our comrades in arms are
claiming victory and calling
it a day after our success in
the fight for marriage. Evan
Wolfson has closed the doors
on Freedom To Marry, the
New York-based national campaign
he founded in 2003 with
one goal in mind.
That decision, of course,
makes perfect sense. But it
surprised a number of observers
when the Empire State
Pride Agenda, New York’s
number one GLBT organization,
declared “mission
accomplished” and announced
plans to disband. Empire State
Pride Agenda will maintain a
political action committee, but
will close its policy arm and its
non-profit foundation. I guess
we can strike New York off the
list of U.S. states that continue
to put up with antigay and trans
discrimination. Who knew?
Meanwhile, I hear that
fundraising is down across the
board for community action
groups who can no longer play
the marriage card in their search
for operating cash. The term “I
hear” is an expression used in
journalism meaning: “I read this
somewhere a few weeks ago
and can’t remember where.”
Well, it doesn’t take an actual
news source to figure out for
ourselves that life will be different
for LGBT activists in the
wake of the High Court’s marriage
ruling. For all the talk of
backlash— and there is some
backlash to be sure— most
of the country has basically
moved on. Indeed, it’s not the
backlash that I worry about as
much as the indifference to our
unfinished business both from
our allies and ourselves. It’s a
lot more fun to rally around an
issue like marriage, simultaneously
profound and simple to
grasp, than it is to generate
support for anti-discrimination
legislation. Yet that’s our next
battleground.
Show Them
The Money!
Woah! A dark cloud swept
across our sunny disposition
for a minute there! Let’s get
back to our holiday spirits,
shall we? (Cue: sound of cork
popping, fizz.)
Do you remember Melissa

THEBODY
THE VAMPIRE
FACELIFT
Restores shape, improves
tone and texture, rejuvenates
new and younger tissue.
Recently seen on an episode of “Kim and Kourtney Take
Miami,” “The Vampire FaceLift” has been gaining traction as a
highly effective cosmetic procedure.
Developed by Dr. Charles Runels, The Vampire Facelift Procedure
uses your own blood to prepare highly concentrated platelets and
tissue building elements (Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP).
During the Vampire Facial, PRP is injected under the eyes,
forehead, and smile lines as well as into deep wrinkles to stimulate
collagen regrowth - allowing the area to tighten and regain the
youthful glow you once had.
Skin rejuvenation with PRP can also be done on the neck,
Décolleté, and back of hands as well. PRP can also be applied
topically and penetrated deep into the skin with the use of the
MicroNeedle Pen.
“Where going green is the trend in preserving health, the human
blood has become the key in sustaining youth,” states Aaron
Sinai of Cosmetic Laser Medspa.
