More Bang For Your Buck

September 25th, 2005

leather pride flagToday, at the Folsom Street Fair, I got handed a postcard advertising “Bang 4 the Buck,” a fundraiser coming up in November, and being hosted by Midori. “Bang” is raising money for the AIDS Lifecycle 2006, a very worthy recipient. The delightful thing about this fundraiser is that it’s a sex party for women. So, basically, women pay to attend the party, have sex with each other while they’re there, and know that the money raised goes to the cause.

Sounds good to me. The party is being held on Nov 18th in San Francisco, and in February in Seattle. What, no East Coast location? Don’t women in New York, for example, want to have sex for a good cause? Talk to me, readers.

What other things were happening at Folsom? Well, the Exiles, a local organization founded to teach women and transfolks about bdsm, hosted a party to raise money to fight breast cancer. And the San Francisco Department of Public Health had a station at the Fair, where they gave people free STI testing — and free large bottles of lubricant to those who got tested. A win-win situation, for all involved.
