DR. AC: SYPHILIS RATES INCREASE IN GAY MEN
Gay men make up 65% of those diagnosed with syphilis. If left untreated, this STD will progress through four stages which can eventually lead to blindness, brain damage and even death. Many people don’t even know they have it.
“The behaviors people usually engage in, in order to get syphilis are the same activities people practice in order to get HIV.” - Dr. AC

NO MORE MR. NICE GAY - NYC RALLY
Saturday 11/15, thousands of us joined together to fight for equal rights. I was just one of the many people filling up lower Manhattan screaming out “We want equal rights.” I saw so many loving and supportive people, both gay and straight. I saw so many signs… my favorite “No More Mr. Nice Gay.”
“I just want the same rights every heterosexual has in this country.” - Charles
DR. AC: ANAL CANCER ON THE RISE IN GAY MEN
Anal cancer is on the rise in gay men. A leading cause of the disease is the human papillomavirus (HPV). It’s estimated that there are more than 3,000 anal cancer cases associated with this wart virus.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE BARACK OBAMA?
Barack Obama’s Presidential Campaign began 21 months ago in the depths of winter, and ended last night in Chicago, Illinois. He was elected the 44th President of the United States of America.
“Right now we’re looking for a leader… that is what Barack can bring to the White House.” - Ryan
BEST REALITY TV SHOW EVER?
I was the king of reality television. I thought I may have been bitten by the political bug due to this year’s election, but now I wonder… was the 2008 Presidential Election the best reality TV series ever?!?

[...] I’ve heard handfuls of people say they are so happy this election is almost over. They say they’re tired of all the back-and-forth between Senators Barack Obama and John McCain. I do understand their position, but I disagree. To be honest, I’ve enjoyed every second of it. About three years ago, a fr … Source: BEST REALITY TV SHOW EVER? VOTE!!! [...]

THE POKE
Being gay at a Catholic college isn’t easy. Imagine trying to find a date among a batch of those guys… College Junior, Jake, says it comes down to a “poke.”
“I poked him. That’s right, I went there. I went to the ultimate level of Internet flirtation.” - Jake
WRITE TO MARRY DAY
“When little boys and girls grow up, before being gay becomes a part of their lives, they talk about ‘one day when I’m married.’ Why is it when the word gay enters the equation, the word “marriage” is subtracted from that same equation?” - BO

I sincerely hope PROP 8 fails miserably.
BUT - if it DOES passes, is everyone prepared to spend another ba-zillion dollars on PR and possibly wait 20-30 years to “win” equality in the US? And will we want to travel cross-country when our civil rights will change like the weather over each state line?
AND - if it does NOT pass, which state will we focus on next so we can spend another ba-zillion dollars to purchase civil rights?
I know I am virtually alone here (except for Charles Merrill and his partner), but I think all of you are insane. Truly crazy….one step
away from writing-on-the-wall-with-your-feces crazy.Because if ALL of us truly believed we WERE equal, we would not be so patient as tax-payers and U.S. citizens. We’d simply KNOW we ARE equal, and refuse to pay into a system that not only denies our familes civil marriage but doesn’t even acknowledge our existence (wait for the 2010 census).
I’m 43, and I will NOT wait until I’m 73 for fair and equal treatment. It’s OK for the country at large to be ignorant, bigoted, mid-guided, and mid-informed. But that’s not my fault. So until people GROW UP and show my family the same “civil” respect heterosexually-identified families are given, I owe this country and the IRS nothing.
How many times do I need to say this?

CAN YOU TELL WHO’S GAY BY A VOICE?
According to controversial research, it seems gay men and women do fit the stereotype of sounding more like the opposite sex of the heterosexual community.

I’M COMING OUT! - BO’s STORY
Coming out of the closet and saying you’re gay isn’t easy for anyone. But, it’s something all of us are going to have to do, or else it will eat us alive. Truly that’s what it felt like for me.
“I was standing for the first time in my life. If you’re thinking about coming out, I’ll be here standing tall and waiting for you to join!” - BO

BO - I’m so happy you came to know yourself and became comfortable expressing who you are. I feel enriched for knowing you. And, thanks for this site too. I think it’s a great place to hear other stories, experiences and opinions!
