"Homophobia is the product of colonialism"
@Aspield on the advocacy efforts that led to the repeal of a punitive law against the LGBTQ+ community in #Mauritius.
From the global village workshops to the conference sessions, it was wonderful to capture moments with amazing leaders and friends: Paul from Sweden, @aditi_campaigns from the UK, @MalecheAllan , Executive Director of KELIN from Kenya, @Aspield, Executive Director of Mpact, and so many others. #humanrights #HIVIsNotACrime #aids2024 #putpeoplefirst #communitiesareexperts
How do we keep each other grounded and sane. We practice simple acts of kindness - gift a person their love language - mine handwritten notes/postcards. These acts kick up those endorphins and those cortisol levels come down. 💥Thanks friend @Aspield 🙏🏾
"The only way to #endAIDS is by ensuring that everyone has the right to health and life."
Hear @Aspield, @mpactglobal Executive Director, message on why protecting human rights matters 👇
Congratulations to Mexico🇲🇽on the decision to ban the practice of so-called "conversion therapy". This crucial action will protect human rights and improve public health. @UNAIDS experience has shown that stigma and shame drive people away from essential health services and support systems, including HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and care. Protecting the human rights of every #person is essential for protecting public health because it enables inclusive and equitable access to health services without discrimination.

#LinkedInSeries: "Anti-LGBTQ+ laws feeds hatred towards us that can result in discrimination and even violence. We need allies and resources to combat these dangers."

This is the hardest thing I've written in years, and maybe ever.
I'm getting older, and, as I do, my body is getting changing and getting bigger.
OF COURSE IT IS. But this has a particular meaning in youth- and body-obsessed gay culture.
