It always amazes me how dedicated people some are to telling others what they can and can’t do with their lives.They’re so afraid to confront their own failings that they project hatred onto those around them - frequently, but not limited to, oppressed minorities and other vunerable groups.
Aren’t they such a great couple?
That’s all for today’s news & commentary. See you tomorrow.

Russia’s second largest city just passed an outrageous law to make it ILLEGAL to… read, write or say “gay.”
“Lawmakers in Russia just passed a draconian censorship law that would impose stiff fines for anything construed as “the promotion of homosexuality” in Saint Petersburg, Russia’s second largest city. Reading, writing, speaking or reporting on anything related to gay, lesbian bi or trans (LGBT) people would become a criminal act. This ban on “promotion” would also target Pride parades, literature, theater, or NGOs that openly serve LGBT people.”
Please watch this video and sign the petition in Support of Russia.

LGBTQ* KNOW Your Status
Gay, Bisexual, and Other
Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM):
By risk group, gay, bisexual, and other MSM of all races remain the population most severely affected by HIV.
- MSM account for more than half (53%) of all new HIV infections in the U.S. each year, as well as nearly half (48%) of people living with HIV.
- While CDC estimates that MSM account for just 4% of the U.S. male population aged 13 and older, the rate of new HIV diagnoses among MSM in the U.S. is more than 44 times that of other men and more than 40 times that of women.
- White MSM account for the largest number of annual new HIV infections of any group in the U.S., followed closely by black MSM.
- MSM is the only risk group in the U.S. in which new HIV infections have been increasing since the early 1990s.
Note: You sexual education is often left to your own research. Many schools do not provide strong Sexual Education classes. More schools do not offer any safe sex information for the LGBTQ* community.
Educate Yourself.
Be an example. Be a better person. Be Safe!
