stef -> Author Patrick Califia Suffers Heart Attack (4/18/2006 8:34:21 AM)

Sex educator, author and activist Patrick Califia suffered a heart attack last Tuesday. Like an embarassingly large number of people in this country, he has no health insurance and is unable to pay for any follow-up care.
Author and activist T. Thorn Coyle is urging those with the means to help Califia out fiscally in this time of need.
"I just received the news that Patrick Califia has had a heart attack. Like many people I know (including myself until very recently, when I decided I could afford to shell out for it every month) Patrick lives without health insurance. If you are a writer, a queer, a tranny in any form, a proponant of free speech and hot sex, or all of the above - or if you know someone who fits into any of these categories - and have a few extra dollars floating around, please consider making a donation. You may also wish to go to your local independent bookseller and order some of his books. Patrick's given us roses, let's give him some bread."
Here is his contact information:
