Joining Hearts weekend is finally here, and we couldn't be more excited! Check out all the events and parties that this magnificent weekend has to offer, and we hope to see you at one of them – especially the main event at the Piedmont Park pool! We also have an exclusive interview with the founders of Kink Down South, David and Urban, who we caught mid-preparation for their upcoming KDS Weekend on August 1-3. This year, the event is not only at a larger venue, but the parties, classes, socials, and market vendors have grown with it! In this edition of the Body Manual, Dr. Zachary LaVigne discusses the legacy of queer healing and the lessons from the HIV/AIDS crisis that remain relevant today. That and so much more in this issue of David.
