The Ring-A-Ding: AIDS May Not Be The End, NY Straights Must Have Gay Friends, Stop Homophobia SaysThe UN

operatorLA can see it happening, HIV is becoming and will become a more controllable virus. With the advent of antiretroviral drugs, AIDS is actually killing less people who have the HIV virus. A new study of people with HIV/AIDS who have died has found that in a growing number cases it was not the illness that led to their deaths. However, drugs used to stave off the onset of AIDS have their own health issues and patients can often become immune to their effect.

A survey by the New York City Health Department has found that nearly 10 percent of male participants who identified themselves as " straight" reported having sex with at least one man during the previous year. It just goes to show you that a label is just a label. Hopefully as our country becomes more open-minded such sexual identity monikers will not be necessary. You will be defined by who and what you find attractive and not by a rigid socio-sexual role. Not for anything, operatorLA has slept with a number of "straight" men and he doubts that those men told their girlfriends or wives. Except for when the girlfriends or wives were present. He is pretty sure they knew then.

Gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell has called on the United Nations (UN) to initiate a global campaign to end the criminalisation of same sex relationships. That is all that needs to be said, sometimes a good idea doesn't need to be explained. Atleast not to us.
