Living in Key West there are constant reminders that AIDS is still taking lives – there are fundraisers all the time. In other parts of the country, especially those parts with a smaller gay population, fundraisers and awareness are not so prevalent.
Each year for the past six years, hundreds of people have joined together to ride . . . → Read More: Smarty Pants
