So you're sitting on the Christopher Street pier, surrounded by shirtless men and reading the Jackie Curtis biography, Superstar in a Housedress. As you're reading of the groundbreaking drag genius you look up and towering above you are two drag superstars in matching outfits. They reach down to you and hand you a little packet, say "Be safe, handsome," and walk along to the next guy. You've been done by a DIVA.
The Drag Initiative to Vanquish AIDS (DIVAs) works pride events, individual bar and club nights, and numerous other venues on both coasts handing out free condoms and providing information to any and all takers.
With AIDSWalk coming this weekend, this is a just a reminder to support these initiatives. Until there is a cure there is only knowledge.
