His Instagram account may suggest otherwise, but Kyle Krieger doesn’t love having his picture taken. The celebrity hairstylist and budding amateur photographer prefers life on the other side of the camera. So one would think it’d take plenty of begging and convincing to get him to pose for and open up to a national magazine. But fortunately for us all, this is one...
I have wanted to do this ride for a number of years but had a daughter at home and the timing never quite worked. This year my daughter went off to college and I realized the timing could work given my empty nest.

I moved to New York City to work in the Broadway theatre scene in the early ’80s in the middle of the AIDS crisis. Within a matter of a few years, in my mid 20's, I started to deal with the horrific sickness and death of friends and colleagues, many of whom were my age. Young, gay men like myself were dropping as if...
When I began my recovery from meth addiction three years ago and entered 12-step programs, I was faced with a reality I had been ignoring for years: HIV is still an epidemic in my community. When I was using, no one talked about the risks of HIV and no one ever disclosed their status, despite the multitude of partners and the rare use of condoms....
