Sir Elton John and David Furnish: "Say It Loud, I'm Gay And I'm Proud!

The inspirational duo Sir Elton John and David Furnish accept the Swinton Group Global Impact award on behalf of the Elton John Aids Foundation presented by Ian Donaldson from Swinton Group at the 6th annual British LGBT Awards.


After losing friends and peers to AIDS-related illnesses, the iconic musician was inspired to set up the Elton John AIDS Foundation in 1992. The Foundation is committed to an AIDS free future and believes in no more discrimination, no more HIV infections, no more AIDS deaths, no matter who or where you are. They fund projects for the prevention, treatment and education of HIV/AIDS and prioritise the most marginalised groups: gay men, adolescents, people who inject drugs, sex workers and transgender women.
The Foundation also battles the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS; as Elton John himself said, “The AIDS disease is caused by a virus, but the AIDS epidemic is not. The AIDS epidemic is fuelled by stigma, by hate, by misinformation.”
