tracy

We have a problem in Canada.  Funding cuts to important health services and healthcare organizations are being threatened in Toronto and occurring nation wide.  HIV criminalization is increasing stigma, and stigma kills.  There won’t be a solution until people acknowledge the seriousness of the situation, which is how Lisa and I found ourselves at a No Pants No Problem dance party a couple of weekends ago.

Created by Toronto activist and feminist hero, Jessica Whitbread, No Pants No Problem is the ultimate safe space:  A sex-positive, anti-stigma, pantless dance party where people are encouraged to explore their sexuality while thinking about safe sex and gender norms.  Proceeds from the September 10th party were donated the AIDS Committee of Toronto (via the AIDS Walk for Life) and the International Community of Women Living with HIV.
