Wednesday 29th of November
In 2 days time will be 1st of December WORLD AIDS DAY. Traditionally its the day that organisations, charities and people in the Media do something FOR Hiv and Aids, unfortunately i do not know any organisation,charity or people in the Media who use this date to do something WITH people lliving with HIV,AIDS.
Over 16 years ago i attended the 1990 AGM for the Lighthouse in the McEllan Hall in which i had the unpleasant of reading and then hearing that for every £(money) given to the Lighthouse 8p were for directly looking after people with HIV and AIDS.So the trend of doing things FOR people with HIV/AIDS rather then WITH that people is been going for a long time.Luckly the Lighthouse does not exist anymore as an independent charity, now is been rescue(i preffer to call it eaten)by the "Green Monster" that THT has become.
So when we hear that GAYDAR RADIO is celebrating(hello!) World AIDS Day by broadcasting the breakfast show from Balance Restaurant in SOHO and then they will do all the events in Compton's Street like having "elevencies" in Comptons Pub i wonder that whether they do it in this places cos of people living with HIV/AIDS or cos this places have pay them "good" money to appear to the general public that they are doing something for this cause.
Sorry i am just a highly xcinical bustard who critisis everything and everyone.
