My friends and I attended a local production of Godspell, and after the show, the theater company held a small auction to raise funds. One item up for bid was a (cheap) bottle of vino that had been relabeled “Water Into Wine,” and my group got the bright idea to pool our funds to bid $100 on it. The company overlooked our youthful faces to award us our prize — and since we looked helplessly at the cork, Judas himself even opened it for us. We each poured some into a paper cup and raised what would be our first toast to one another. It tasted terrible, but that feeling of buzzed camaraderie was deliciously joyous. ]]> Tue, 25 Aug 2026 11:00:02 EDT Daniel Reynolds https://www.hivplusmag.com/fundraiser/gay-wine-weekend-15th-anniversary https://www.hivplusmag.com/politics/shevrin-jones-homophobic-text-attack-2677707725 This story originally appeared on Them.]]> Fri, 14 Aug 2026 11:35:00 EDT Mathew Rodriguez https://www.hivplusmag.com/politics/shevrin-jones-homophobic-text-attack-2677707725 https://www.hivplusmag.com/prep/michelle-visage-prep-ad One Million Moms is coming for a true TV mother. ]]> Wed, 05 Aug 2026 16:18:07 EDT Mathew Rodriguez https://www.hivplusmag.com/prep/michelle-visage-prep-ad https://www.hivplusmag.com/thetalk/the-talk-new-hiv-diagnosis Receiving a new HIV diagnosis can be a life-altering and nerve-wracking experience, so it’s important to give yourself time and space to process the information.
