What a dream-team duo come true! Cyndi Lauper and Lady Gaga have teamed up with MAC Cosmetics to promote awareness about HIV/AIDS. To quote the young and ferociously talented Lady Gaga: (via www.usatoday.com)
"I have a tremendous relationship with the gay community. When people find out I'm doing this, they say, 'Is it because of your relationship with the gay community, because you want to speak out about AIDS?' And I say no," Gaga explains. "AIDS is not a gay disease. That's part of what I want to accomplish ... really raise awareness of what AIDS is today." (click on the photo to see the full story).
We here at DOFL couldn't agree more with Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper. It's true that the homosexual community was the first that was vastly struck by HIV/AIDS but it is truly a disease that can afflict anyone, no matter orientation, and infection numbers reflect that grim reality. But there are ways to reduce your risk such as practicing safe sex, being educated about how and why this disease spreads, and sharing information with your friends, family and community. There are many ways to raise awareness and support HIV/AIDS research. One of them is our efforts here at DOFL. If you're someone who loves to eat delicious food and help others, DOFL is an easy (and yummy!) way to be supportive and active in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Be sure to check your local DOFL chapter to find out when your city is hosting it's Dining Out For Life night!
Luv ya! Be careful and be happy!
