Team Friendly Atlanta, a group dedicated to reducing HIV stigma, held its launch party and a fundraiser at Jungle on Saturday, March 16. Participants bid to get people "dirty" and then bid to clean them off. And it was a sexy night for many of the guys, and two women, who were willing to auctioned off for charity. Those who were auctioned off included HIV activist and former Mr. Atlanta Eagle Chandler Bearden, Mark Gordon aka DJ Diablo Rojo, porn star Charlie Harding, aerialist Melissa Coffey, SirBen and Joeboy, leatherboy Dana Prosser and Lizzy Fountain, organizer for the "Dirty Boys" calendar.
Pamm Burdett of the Lloyd E. Russell Foundation donated $1,000 to have Bearden glitterbombed — and this Atlanta Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence chipped in $50 each to also have the pleasure of pouring glitter on him. It's probably safe to say he will be picking off glitter for years to come.
Team Friendly t-shirts were on sale and donations of male hygiene products were also being collected to donate to Lost-n-Found Youth, an organization that has served some 150 homeless LGBT youth in metro Atlanta. Eight of those young people have tested positive for HIV, according to Rick Westbrook, founder of Lost-n-Found.

More than 200 people from Georgia and around the world are expected at this year's Atlanta Poly Weekend, slated for March 15-17. Dozens of presenters will hold workshops and seminars to educate and inform those in the polyamorous lifestyle.
"This is our third year and we've been growing steadily," said Billy Holder, program director for the conference to be held at the Holiday Inn Select Atlanta-Perimeter/Dunwoody.
There are about 160 people pre-registered for this year's conference and Holder said he expects close to 250 people to actually attend. This number is about 100 more people than attended last year. This year's charity auction will benefit Lost-n-Found Youth, an organization serving homeless LGBT youth in Atlanta.

This year's HRC Atlanta Dinner will honor the leader of Emory University's Office of LGBT Life and an organization that throws popular parties to fund housing for people with HIV.
The 2013 dinner, which raises funds for the Human Rights Campaign's national work on LGBT rights, is set for May 4 at the Hyatt Regency Downtown Atlanta. Last year's dinner raised $500,000 and drew about 1,000 attendees, according to organizers.
The annual gala always includes the presentation of two local awards, the Dan Bradley Humanitarian Award and the Leon Allen & Winston Johnson Community Service Award.
