AIDS 2009 - Deadly & Silent, by Topher the Medicub
Thursday, 06 August 2009 22:17
hivworldIt's weird. When the AIDS pandemic arose in the eighties, ALL attention was focused on the tragic impact on the community and many powerful stories of humanity. We watched our family and friends die. Gay celebrities came out and told their stories. And countless charities sprung up out of the need to strike back at this disease. These days AIDS is becoming less a political issue than the many other hot-button causes that impact our community, such as California's Prop8 and gay marriage. I want to refocus some attention back toward this disease that continues to eat away at the foundations of the Bear Community and the Gay community as a whole. I have lost many friends and bear mentors from complications related to AIDS. Whether from barebacking with someone they didn't know, sharing needles during their down and out periods with drugs, or just from an accident in the medical field.

No Need to Change, John Maxwell

apa_homoIn case you didn't already know, it is now ok to be gay. Therapists and psychologists in America have finally determined, after years of research, that homosexuality is not, in fact, a disease or malfunction of the mind. Years of data collected now show that homosexuality does not need to be changed. Instead, they recommend that the people who have conflicts between their sexuality and their faith should look at changing their faith, church, or just taking a breather from doing things they feel is objectionable. No more should we be ashamed of ourselves (hah!) and instead, maybe the problem isn't ours. Go figure!
