Continuing with its two month long HIV/AIDS awareness campaign, Gaylaxy now announces a blogging contest. Titled ‘A POSITIVE EFFECT’, you need to write your post beginning with the line “Radha/Aakash was taking off the red ribbon from her/his saree/shirt when she/he looked into the mirror to travel back in time….”
The story could be a work of fiction, or a personal narrative. You could share your experience of working with HIV positive people, or, if you are a HIV positive person, your own experience of fighting the virus. You could also write about your views on the issue, about stigma or discrimination in the society you live in, stories of extra-ordinary courage; all beginning with the line “Radha/Aakash was taking off the red ribbon from her/his saree/shirt when she/he looked into the mirror to travel back in time….”
If writing is your forte, don’t miss this chance to have your voice heard and convey an important message.
All entries should be mailed toeditor@gaylaxymag.com by 30th Nov. The best 3 entries will be published in the Nov-Dec issue of Gaylaxy.
