PrEP and Truvada – #JustTheTips
R.J. Aguiar brings back “Just The Tips” and discusses PrEP with one of his friends from the L.A. LGBT Center. In this episode they answer questions that I know many people have asked: How does PrEP work? What does it cost? How do you get it? — all that stuff. HIV is no joke, and even though it’s no longer a death sentence, it’s still a serious problem. PrEP it is not a cure all for HIV/AIDS, but it is another way to help protect yourself from infection. This is great to watch if you have questions about PrEP/Truvada. I love what RJ says: “PrEP yourself before you wreck yourself!”

Elle Bradford asks, “IS MY BOYFRIEND GAY BECAUSE I AM TRANSGENDER?!”
In this episode Elle Bradford and her boyfriend Jeremy discuss a topic that many “haters/trolls” do not seem to understand when it comes to transgender individuals and relationships. This is an amazing story of a couple breaking through gender norms and really opening the eyes of people who don’t understand that Jeremy is still straight even though Elle is a transgender woman. As Jeremy puts it, Elle is not “a boy with tits,” but is a woman he is attracted to because of who she is.
I love to watch this because it shows a side of our LGBT community that very few try to understand or learn more about. They have such a beautiful and genuine relationship, and sarcastic as I usually am, this time I want to just admire these two and their beautiful relationship. Watch
“How To Spot Fake News” with R.J. Aguiar
It is really refreshing to see someone speak and think intelligently for once in our community. Too many times I see stuff about people flying off the handle and spitting out things they hear on the radio, tv or just read online, and it’s typically just BS! It’s important we all know how to spot fake news. Why? Because it’s everywhere, and it’s not justthe #alternativefacts or #fakenews that you have seen recently in the media. I’m talking about fictional news stories that you see all over social media and online news sources. In reality “fake news” has always been around, and it can be very easy to spot if you know what to look for. That’s why I appreciate this video so much because it encourages each of us to really stop, think and do a little research before we just start sharing some rhetoric that could ultimately be a load of crap.

Superfruit is such a great channel with Scott and Mitch from Pentatonix, which if you don’t know who they are #DeadToMe! This episode they partner with beauty stylist Manny Mua who what every glam boy wants to be. The challenge is for Scott and Manny to do one side of Mitch’s face and beat it to filth. It is a shorter episode than most of their other ones but still super entertaining. If you are the few that haven’t checked out this channel before it’s a great combinations of following Scott and Mitch around as they tour with Pentatonix, do great song mashups and have so really unique guest appearances. Also all the crazy and hilarious stuff they do in between is why I love this channel so much. Watch
