On average, men in the United States live sicker and shorter lives than their female counter parts. They face significantly higher rates of heart disease, cancer, suicide and especially HIV and AIDS. Despite making up less than half of the overall population, men account for three out of every four people living with HIV in the U.S. This is driven mostly by the impact that HIV continues to have on gay and bisexual men, especially young gay men of color. In 2010, gay and bisexual men accounted for 63% of estimated new HIV infections in the U.S. and 78% among all men generally. From 2008 to 2010, new HIV infections increased 22% among young gay men and 12% among gay men overall. During the month of November, guys across the country are putting down their razors and growing out their facial hair to increase awareness about serious health issues facing men, from prostate and testicular cancer to mental health and depression. This month, NMAC and AID Upstate are asking you to do the same, and help us spark a larger conversation about the need for men to take control of their overall sexual health!

39 Signs You’re A Twink Alex Hughes | October 28, 2012 - 3:55 pm What’s the true definition of a twink you may ask? Besides being the homosexual male’s youngest and most hairless sub-species, twinks have a couple of other traits and here’s a quick guide to determine if you can wear the twink badge of (dis) honor. You may be a twink if: • You’ve seen every cycle of America’s Next Top Model at least three times. • You worship Honey Boo Boo and mourn the loss of gay icon Glitzy the Pig. • A typical lunch is a can of Red Bull. • You wear Lady Gaga’s perfume “Fame.” • You can do makeup better than any star of Teen

Mom. You own a jockstrap but you don’t play sports. You have a One Direction poster. You respond to all of your tweets with a gif from RealityTVGifs. You only talk to people who have iPhones.

• You’ve had sushi at least once this week. • You want to go to a taping of Anderson Cooper’s talk show. • It’s never too early to start drinking. • Your vocabulary mostly consists of ratchet, slay, stan, twerk, HBIC, flaw-free, and kiki (a few of which should be banned). • You wish you were on RuPaul’s Drag Race. • You know what TOWIE stands for. • You’ve ordered a salad at McDonald’s. • You refuse to wear underwear that cost less than $20. • You’re a Very Important Beauty Insider at Sephora. • You miss The Hills on a daily basis. • Your go-to drink is vodka. • Taylor Swift’s music makes you feel emotional. • The last book you read was Kris Jenner’s • memoir. • You don’t have time for basic bitches. • You watch The X-Factor just for Britney Spears. • You wear sunglasses indoors. • You’d never be caught dead in a Sears except to buy something from the Kardashian Kollection. • Your blood type is Starbucks low-fat iced coffee. • You have at least one Hannah Montana song on your iPod. • You wax your ass. • You have an opinion on Skinnygirl. • You can name at least one of the Cocky Boys. • You wish you were Lindsay Lohan’s BFF. • You had lip-syncing contests with yourself. • You bleach your asshole. • TMZ is your Bible. • Tiffany Pollard (New York) is your alter-ego. • You have a star tattoo. • You know every single line of Mean Girls

There will be a reception followed by a program. In the struggle for justice, equal access and fair treatment there have always been those who despite working tirelessly for the ‘Cause” were still considered outsiders. Bayard Rustin was one such man. He was a black man, openly gay, a Quaker, and a pacifist who was imprisoned as a conscientious objector. Bayard was a brilliant organizer and strategist. Despite the fact that he was one of the critical linchpins of the Civil Rights Movement, rarely do we hear of his many contributions. This can be attributed primarily to the fact that he was an openly gay man. Bayard was silenced, threatened, fired, beaten and arrested but never deterred from the works for justice. Regardless of his many valuable contributions Bayard Rustin would be almost completely erased from our nation’s history by the ill winds of homophobia. Bayard Rustin was instrumental in desegregating the armed forces; he introduced the principles of non-violence to Dr. King, and contributed to the Montgomery Bus Boycott. He helped design and participated on the Freedom Bus Rides and he was the primary architect of the 1963 March on Washington. Bayard Rustin, a man who exemplified the connections of human beings and our need for jusce that transcends identity politics.
Mr. Anthony Magee will provide vocal talents as a part of the evening’s program.
