They Deserve It
As a heterosexual man who once engaged in homosexual behavior for 11 years, I’ve lost numerous dear friends to AIDS. While recent news in the search for a cure for AIDS is promising, I believe this possible HIV prevention pill is only going to push a culture down an already dangerous and risky path. This pill is the equivalent to a drug rehab assisting heroine addicts in their addiction by giving them needles. What is wrong with this picture? Why can’t these intelligent scientists and doctors understand we need to educate people on abandoning their risky, unsafe sexual practices and behavior–not give them a pill to enable and encourage them?- Stephen Bennett, "ex"-gay
...for the love of God, I was joking when I said that anti-sex conservatives blocking an AIDS vaccine would be the next step after blocking a cervical cancer vaccine. But it's true. Here we have a pill that could possibly stop the worst virus the world has ever known. Here we have a pill that could not only protect gay men, but straight men, straight women, gay women, white people, black people, and, oh yeah, the entire fucking population of sub-Saharan Africa. Here we have a pill that would mean that people wouldn't catch a virus that would force them to pay out the ass for an extensive and taxing regimen of drugs that will only stave off the inevitable.
And there are people saying that this isn't a good idea. Why? Because it leads to that dirty, dirty sex.
The megalomania and downright sociopathy of some conservatives still fucking amazes me.

I don't know who you are. I've never met you.
But a couple of days ago, while searching for "gay" and "City of Heroes" together, I stumbled upon your blog.
And I love you.
Reading your entries is both humorous and thought provoking. It's nice to see a socio-political blogger out there isn't beating off their ego all over the internet by trying to come off as smarter than anyone else who doesn't "get it".
You've definately become daily reading material for me. Each time I look thru your entries, I laugh a little and don't feel as scared about this country going to pot because there are smart people like you out there willing to stand up and flip the bird to the fatcats that deserve it REGARDLESS of their party categorization.
Thank you.
