SUPER FRIENDS NYC

San Francisco Bay Times: Do you have any plans for the future of the SuperFriends channel that you would like us to know about?

Fernando Camino: For now, I’d like to continue to grow my channel by coming up with a consistent schedule for my live shows and by discovering interesting events that my subscribers would find very entertaining. San Francisco Bay Times: Are there ways that you think SuperFriends can promote understanding, awareness, and appreciation of diversity and expressing kindness toward others?

Fernando Camino: On my show, I welcome diversity! I tend to gravitate toward people who are different from me. I know they have a wonderful story to share. Some have happy stories; others have sad ones to share. Some are more interesting than others but they are all valid stories. By talking to them, I show my subscribers that it’s ok to be different, and in the process, I show them kindness without ever mentioning the word “kindness.” Also, on my show, I talk about the things or people who inspire me or make me happy.

San Francisco Bay Times: How can readers of the San Francisco Bay Times find you? Do you have a website or Facebook page or other platform in addition to the YouTube channel?

Fernando Camino: Readers of the San Francisco Bay Times can check out my Instagram: SuperFriendsNYC. I usually post clips from my live shows on my IG.

San Francisco Bay Times: When do you think you may come to visit us here in San Francisco, and where in our area would you like to do a SuperFriends livecast?

Fernando Camino: I haven’t spoken with my boyfriend/partner about this, but I think I’d like to visit San Francisco next year for Pride. I’d like to do a livecast in the Castro area and other interesting parts of San Francisco like Fisherman’s Wharf, the Bay Bridge, and more.

Thank you so much for your interest in my story! If your readers are interested, they can find my exciting live broadcast every Saturday night in Times Square, people watching, talking to people, laughing, and singing with them or just being in the middle of this world-renowned square absorbing and enjoying the positive vibes. https://tinyurl.com/yckj2cvu

AGUILAS has been invited by the Pride Committee to march in the SF Pride Parade along with the Resistance contingent. This group is the third of many to march in the parade. Being up front this year will provide visibility and convey the importance of AGUILAS, whose HIV/AIDS funding grants from the SF Department of Public Health (SFDPH) and the CA Office of AIDS are scheduled to end on June 30, 2023.

There will be a hearing, allowing for public comments, led by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors at 10 am on Monday, June 26, in City Hall regarding the city’s budget. All are welcome to join and lend support to having continued funding for HIV/ AIDS services provided by AGUILAS. As you may know, AGUILAS is the only agency in San Francisco that offers all its services in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. For over 29 years, AGUILAS has been instrumental in providing HIV/ AIDS services to Latinx LGBTQ+ individuals.

Historically, AGUILAS is the only and oldest independently run Latinx LGBTQ+ organization in all of the Americas! The organization’s
