“Since U=U, most of the men that have mattered in my life didn’t care about that part. They cared about me, not these pieces of me.” Here’s a short clip of our interview with Daniel for the new GMSH.CA campaign “If No One Ever Told You, We Will” 🌈 #hivawareness #hivaids #uequalsu

Along with our new website at GMSH.CA, we're going to be rolling out content all summer shot from community interviews asking queer guys from all walks of life about the sex advice, dating tips, coming out, accessing healthcare, building community, and things they wish someone had told them!

Was struggling to decide on my first Bluesky post. Then I saw this. This reminds me of Wordsworth's 'Happy Warrior'. Helpful reminder of how I can show up in these uncertain times. Thanks @clevertrout.bsky.social for inspiring me once again with your art and your heart.
