Walking 5 miles in Florida... because these politicians can kiss my rainbow šŸŒˆ

They tried making us invisible. So I'm doing something about it...

Florida's a weird place for me.

Used to live here. Left in 2009.

Never thought I'd be back...

But life's funny that way.

My 91-year-old mom needed someone to look after her.

So here I am.

And HOLY SHIT has this state gotten wild since I left.

"Don't Say Gay" laws.

Book bans.

Politicians treating our community like we're some kind of threat...

When all we want is to exist. To love. To live our damn lives.

They're trying to make us invisible.

To push us back into closets.

To act like we don't matter.

Well...

This weekend I'm doing something about it.

I'm walking in the Florida AIDS Walk.

5 miles under the hot sun...

To remind these politicians that we're not going anywhere.

That we're part of this community.

That we MATTER.

Because here's the truth:

While they're busy playing culture wars...

Over 115,000 people in Florida are living with HIV.

Real people.

Who need real support.

Not political bullshit.

That's why I'm walking.

And I need your help.

Look...

I know money's tight.

And you probably get hit up for donations all the time.

But this is different.

This is US looking after US.

Because clearly, nobody else will.

And because I love you...

Anyone who donates $50 or more gets a FREE digital copy of my new book when it drops later this month (just send me your donation receipt and Iā€™ll hook you up).

It's called "No Borders. No Closets. The LGBTQ+ Journey to Redefining ā€˜Homeā€™ Around the World".

(Pretty fitting for this moment, right?)

I've never been more proud of anything I've written.

And I want YOU to be part of this journey.

So what do you say?

Ready to help me send a message?

With Pride & Gratitude,

Ken

P.S. If you can't donate, share this email with someone who can. Every act of resistance matters... even the small ones.

P.P.S. Seriously though... these politicians can kiss my šŸŒˆ. Let's show them what community really means: Hereā€™s where you can donate Ā»
