Update on Kevin Aviance

Drag performer Kevin Aviance was beaten in gay bashing a couple weeks ago, as I noted in here. A large rally and march protesting the increasing violence against LGBT people was held Saturday.

Kevin was well enough to appear at that, but it's going to be a while before he can perform again. (I've seen various reports of the extent of his injuries, but even the least of them include a broken jaw and knee--which will certainly put a singer-dancer out of action.) He has no insurance for the medical bills.

They've gotten his personal website up again, and you can make a donation via PayPal through that (you don't need a PayPal account, just a credit card). Or you can mail a check to the address at the bottom of his page.

Also Crossdressers International is making its summer barbecue into a fundraiser for Kevin. We'll have excellent food, courtesy of professional chef Michael. Wednesday, July 19. The theme is South Pacific, so get out those grass skirts and coconut shell bras!
