World AIDS Day 2009
Dec. 1st, 2009 09:15 amToday is World AIDS Day.
Light a candle, and for fuck's sake, (don't listen to the pope) have safe sex.
I wish we would take time to reflect today on the way groups (especially gay men and sex workers) have been stigmatized as "high-risk" in a way that achieves nothing and further marginalizes them.
I wish we wouldn't stigmatize people who do live with HIV/AIDS today.
I wish people who are against condoms would realize they're idiots and that "morals" regarding sexual behavior are not worth the destruction of human lives.
