Drug treatments increase risky sex, says study
For the first time in Canada, a study of gay and bisexual men has drawn a link between beliefs about HIV/AIDS medication and risky sexual activity.
Among the findings, the study says HIV-positive men who believe drug treatments make it more difficult to transmit the virus were six times more likely to engage in unprotected anal sex with a casual partner. .
Who is the victim in a gay marriage?
My daughter, in a wheelchair, and I went to the Gay Pride Fair in downtown Hayward, where she was completely accepted. I saw something very disturbing, though: a young couple, their marriage license on the T-shirt one of them wore, with "VOID" stamped across it. Both were male. They had been in the group that had experienced one heady moment of hope and fulfillment only to have it dashed by those seeking to "protect" what? The Sanctity of Marriage? Tell that to Laci Peterson's parents, or the battered wives in the women's shelters! Sanctity is conferred upon marriage by the love and commitment of the partners, not by whether the partners are the right sex or race. What is being affirmed now is the right of one group to dictate to others what they can or can't do. Laws make sense when there is a victim.
