AIDS WALK Tampa Bay
This Saturday is the 10th Annual AIDS WALK Tampa Bay in St. Petersburg to help finance ASAP’s mission. The AIDS epidemic isn’t over yet and a unified stand to conquering the HIV and AIDS travesties that are still happening today. The money received goes directly to our community for help to HIV/AIDS individuals and families. Help support by a variety of ways. By being a walker, support a walker or volunteer your time to make this the biggest successful AIDS Walk in Tampa Bay. Over 150 volunteers are needed to succeed in keeping the walkers safe, hydrated and informed.
We congratulate Jay Aller, ASAP Development Manager for putting together another community awareness event.
The 10th Annual AIDS Walk Tampa Bay will be held at Vinoy Park in Downtown St. Petersburg on Saturday, September 7th. Registration starts at 8am, the Walk starts at 10am  www.aidswalktampabay.org
 
Today’s Gay History Lesson.
 In Shakespearean time, women were not allowed to perform on stage. The women parts were performed by male actors. This was called D.R.A.G – Doing Role As Girl  others also said it was Dressed Resembling A Girl.
 
HRC: Russia Has a Very Scary Anti-GLBT Message

–  Human Rights Campaign Alert
The Winter Olympics are inching closer every day and the human rights crisis in Russia is only getting worse. The country’s anti-GLBT “propaganda” law that outlaws any show of support for the equality and basic dignity of GLBT people has put millions at risk, including straight allies.
International Olympic Committee authorities are still sending mixed signals about the safety of GLBT visitors to Russia – athletes, spectators, and sponsors alike, to say nothing of the GLBT Russians at risk every single day.
Last month, we asked HRC members and supporters like you to call on the IOC to condemn the repressive law and get a guarantee of safety for Olympic participants and spectators. And since then, nearly 120,000 people have spoken out against this heinous law.

Out & About Tampa Bay
    The Country Pumpkin Cafe is located at 2620 E. Hillsborough Ave right next door to one of our favorites and famous Tampa Chinese restaurants, Yummy House. The two restaurants are separately owned.The Country Pumpkin serves Breakfast (all day) and lunch at very reasonable prices.
All the menu items are handmade except for the biscuits server/mgr, MB (Mary Beth) told me.
“We just don’t have enough room to make them.” she said. “The pancakes (4 varieties) and waffles are the best!!!”
I love breakfast. I tried the recommended homemade Corned Beef Hash with eggs. It was very good made with red & green peppers, onions, hash brown potatoes and corned beef chunks.
They are famous for their hamburgers on TravelAdvisor and everything else is just as good. A new fall menu is set to be in place this month!
Right across from Sanwa Farmers Market. A great place to have breakfast1
