Recent MEDIA announcements about AMG members

[DingoBoi]

We have Trish and Zephyr and seemingly a few others recently coming out in the media about their lives...  THIS REALLY IS HUGE.   It's not just a solitary incident..... it's going on among LOTS of our members now!

Please take pictures and post em of the articles.... yeah, it might be copyright infringment, but for them to make a claim against such a small website, with no commericial gain againt gonna happen imho and if they try, they will be crucified.  (the worst they can do is request Aidsmeds remove the posts)

To all the ladies and men, I salute you.... you are braver than I think I could be at times...

For this thread... let's consolidate all the media goings on in ONE thread.   feel free to create your own and please do so for individual discussion, but also post linkies here... I want you all to have your own thread to talk about you, but have a central place to post these articles... if you don't have the means to, I'll post it if you send me a picture... PM me.

Damn, you all impress me so much.

If PBS re-runs the two Nightline programs on the HIV/AIDS epidemic which ran earlier this week, you'll get a chance to catch Peter Staley offering comments several times. Also saw myself with my friend Michael in a big fat closeup on the second evening.

The programs are worth seeing. I could quibble about some points of the coverage but overall it was good to see some serious attention being paid to the subject, including discrediting the denialists and their deadly nonsense.

You might be able to connect to the programs at PBS.org.

Cheers,

I thought that was you!!  Seriously, I was watching the show and they showed this couple, close-up, and I said to myself, "I think that's Andy,".  I knew it was entirely possible having seen Peter interviewed and recognizing many of the people from SF (Volberding, Cleve JOnes, Teamer, Reggie Williams, etc).  There were as many people from NYC as SF so why not?  Well, I'm glad to know there is some gray matter still churing in the old kiboodle.  That's always reassuring.

Hi Dingo!

Thanks, honey, for your support with our efforts!! When you say HUGE, you are so right. I've been away since Thursday night, garnering some personal focus as I anticipate this interview with my area's local newspaper.......there are so many things I wish to talk about, and must be very clear on my delivery.

This is such an important time for all of us, and those of us who have been moved to be VOICES can only say thanks, to all of you, for all the encouragement and 'Whoo-hoo's" (sorry, SAE) about our decisions.

Love to you,

Zephyr

actually, this is now a for-profit site as part of poz.com and the smart and strong network.... it is a business... though, agreed based upon context of the article and the site goals... with credit given... and permission... it's legal.... which means you all should ask for permission to repost your articles here

PS: hope i don't have my facts wrong about smart&strong being a for-profit business... though i think it is (but don't imagine they really make much, if any profit, based upon the nature of this.

Hi Dingo...

I've put that on my list now, to ask the newspaper for their permission to reprint my interview here on AM!

I never would have thought about this, so thanks a bunch, honey!!

P.S. I'm proud of you, too!

Love,

Zephie

i'm all about copyright infringement much like some countries producing generic version of patented drugs 

but if it can be done legally, that is preferred.  Though, truth be told, in context of the site, I doubt any complaints would be made.
