The fabulous @FrankieJGrande first visited the Cen

The fabulous @FrankieJGrande first visited the Center three years ago and, since then, his support for us has been incredible. Not only has he ridden 545 miles two years in a row (and counting!) in support of @aidslifecycle, but he is also the mastermind behind our first-ever virtual 'Rainbowthon' fundraiser benefiting our vital services during the #COVID19 pandemic. He helped to raise nearly $60K in less than three hours! Below is an excerpt of his personal essay expressing 'Why I Give.' To read it in its entirely, visit https://lgbtnewsnow.org/frankie. 😍 🌈 💋
----------------------------------
"My journey with the Los Angeles LGBT Center began as most journeys do—at a drag show hosted by AIDS/LifeCycle. My current Cycle Rep Erik Zamora, whom I became friends with through a mutual friend, invited me to the event at Micky’s in West Hollywood and, honestly, I felt bad saying no so I decided to actually go—alone!— which, if you know me, is very, very rare for me to do. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but I tell you that night changed my life. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence performed the most moving number I have ever seen as a tribute to the cyclists and volunteer roadies who we have lost to AIDS over the years. I began to weep…aggressively. One of the Sisters walked over to me and put their hand on my shoulder to comfort me. In that moment, I knew I was in. And not just like one toe in, but completely into the deep end of the pool."
