HIV
MORNING MAIL: Wentworth Miller, Girl Scouts, Maggie Gyllenhaal, McCain, and more...
*
Poor, poor Maggie Gyllenhaal! Promoting her upcoming film, The Dark Knight, she graces the cover of Tatler but something terribly wrong happened in the dressing room. Fug that!
* The Los Angeles Times focuses on the LA Gay & Lesbian Center's - along with the West Hollywood Health department - HIV prevention online soap targeting young gay and bisexual men.
* Pretty boy Wentworth Miller joy riding on hydrogen.
* Sarah Silverman is no longer f*cking Jimmy Kimmel. It's over.
* Sen. John McCain says he doesn't support gay adoption. "I think that we’ve proven that both parents are important in the success of a family so, no I don’t believe in gay adoption."
* The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts has created an HIV prevention toolkit that aims to educate young women worldwide about the disease. At their international launch in Boksburg, South Africa CEO Mary McPhail stated, "We wanted to develop teaching methods which would get the message to young women that they are at risk. We wanted to get across that they can also be responsible for empowering their own lives and making their own decisions."
Now, if only the Boy Scouts could get over their gay bashing to do something as equally impressive. Rock on Girl Scouts! Rock on...
* The Gay Pimp - Jonny McGovern - has a new hit out. This time however he's dedicating the song to the ladies. Check out his new single, Don't Fall In Love With A Homo.
LA Gay & Lesbian Center's HIV Prevention Soaps
The Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center has launched a new webisode of their online soap opera - In The Moment - which hopes to bring attention to the HIV epidemic and its ravishing affects on gay and bisexual men.
Take a look at their first video below.
“We’re grateful the City of West Hollywood has funded this initiative, through our WeHoLife.org program, to promote healthy living among those who live, work and visit West Hollywood,” said Susan Cohen, director of the Center’s Health Education and Prevention Department. “Of course, we know it also has the potential to stimulate safer sex discussions among anyone with a computer and we will be monitoring web traffic, with the hope that we can secure funding for the remaining 11 webisodes.”
You can go to the WeHo Life site for more information and to participate in the interactive discussions.
The first episode was engaging and I am hopeful that this new initiative will spark a new movement to become vocal and active in the fight against AIDS. If you haven't been following the news young gay and bisexual men - particularly those men of color - are seeing a dramatic increase in HIV infections.
NEWS: Cruising,"Gay" Republican Scandals, Surge in HIV cases, & Anti-Gay AE Ads?
CRUISING CODE: Is he tapping his foot because he's anxious or is my stall neighbor looking for a quickie? It's tough to read between the lines nowadays. Our friends over at Gawker have given us a little help. Now you can cruise guys without all that messing confusion.....
TOM FORD'S "VAGINAL" COLOGNE?: Tom Ford has a new cologne on the market with a troubling ad campaign. The ads show the cologne precisely placed in front of a sweaty model's hairless vagina. What exactly does this cologne smell like? Sweaty supermodel vagina? Yum.
GAY REPUBLICAN SCANDALS: It sure has been a tough year for self loathing closet case Republicans. How many Republican politicians can you fit in the closet? ALL OF THEM! Ted Haggard, Mark Foley amongst others are featured in the Top 5 Republican Gay Sex Scandals (in the past 12 months!).
MARC JACOBS' BOYTOY ROCKS DEAD MOUSE BROOCH: Jason Preston - who is Marc' new on-again, off-again boy toy - took to the streets of NYC wearing a hideous dead mouse brooch. Apparently it was a gift from Courtney Love. Nuf said....
HIV RATES ON THE RISE FOR GAY NYC MEN: A recent study has shown an very alarming trend in HIV rates for young gay and bisexual men in NYC. The reports shows that "over the past six years, the total number of new HIV diagnoses among gay men under 30 has risen 33%." The report shows that gay/bisexual men over 30 showed a decrease in HIV rates by 22.2%. The greatest burden continues to be on young Black and Hispanic men who continue to test at higher rates for HIV.
AMERICAN EAGLE SUPPORTING HOMOPHOBIC ADS?: A new ad campaign by American Eagle, It's a Mall World, has caught the ire of many LGBT activists. The ads - which can be seen on the AE website and shown during MTV's The Real World: Sydney - feature a "stereotypical gay man" in a recent episode. Check out the video and decide for yourself. Some say it's shameful and others say it is no different than Perez Hilton or William Sledd (who both got shows for their apparent gay personalities).
Are you the next Mr. Sex?
The Test Positive Aware Network (TPAN) - based out of Chicago - is in need of a few good men to fill the position of Mr. Sex. I'm not sure how much they are willing to pay Mr. Sex but they only need his services part-time. Sorry to those interested men looking for full-time gigs.
Mr. Sex is needed to work bathhouse outreach and they put it in a job description - and that is truly the position title. (Seriously, I can't make this stuff up!)
Check out the job description to find out more.
What would be the best way to list Mr. Sex experience on a resume?? Suggestions can be sent to me here.
