Note that the protestors have attacked the Family Resource Council offices. There's not much coverage at Google News, yet.

Here's the FRC Press Release.

Funny that one answer for "ending AIDS" is to stop "ending" in the first place....

There's not much coverage at Google News
I'm stunned!...(/sarcasm)
Remember WE are the hate filled ones....

[Semper Paratus]

I'm thinking of all the other diseases starved of research money thanks to the anal sex lobby.

[Mikey_1962]

More money spent on this 100% preventable disease than any other disease. UGGGGHHHHH!!!

[FourtySeven]

I can remember when AIDS was first discovered, that the ONLY advice that could be given at the time to avoid it, 100%, WAS abstinence. (which is still true today) It's amazing how far our country has come that even in the "movement" itself, talk of abstinence is now akin to gay bashing.

[sgtbono2002]

The campaign to stop AIDS doesnt want to discuss abstinence, the only bulletproof way to stop it.

Let me tell you a secret fruits, There is no magic way for Aids to go away. When you poke your friend who has it chances are you will get it too. Now I can repeat that again if you like but all the sex education in the world isnt going to change the facts. Oh they can tell you to use rubbers and wash after sex , they might even suggest you soak your whang in bleach, but abstinence works .

30-150 protestors....

[L98Fiero]

"30-150 protestors...."

That quite an easily identifiable gap. 30-150?

[hocndoc]

I'm not sure how many chained themselves to the FRC building.

Campaign to End AIDS

Since the only way to end AIDS is to end 'gay' behavior wouldn't this group qualify as a hate organization?

[hocndoc]

It took medicine a while to figure out the course of the disease. Then, the gay community reacted as though it was discrimination to state the obvious.

The problem was the refusal to shut down the bath houses and to educate the people most at risk -- obstruction by the very people who should have been the advocates.

For years, HIV/AIDs was treated as a political attack instead of a disease. We now have Tuberculosis that is resistant to 6 or more antibiotics because of those politics.

A disease is a disease is a disease.

Somehow, it's obscene to smoke, but condoms make sex acceptable?

[FourtySeven]

We now have Tuberculosis that is resistant to 6 or more antibiotics because of those politics.

That's a good point. I keep forgetting that, and I'm in the biological field!

ping a ling...

[Mulch]

yep. Young children with cancer (no fault of their own) suffer because the perverts divert all the money away from cancer research.

"one answer for "ending AIDS" is to stop "ending" in the first place..."


Guns don't kill people, 'tsilgate parties' kill people...

[Txsleuth]

The world has really gone to hell when people are chaining themselves in protest over "abstinence teaching"...

Good gosh...where oh where has my country gone??? The one that was all into "wait until marriage" and "sex is for grown-ups", and "good girls don't do that"...

It worked for me....

A woman I went to school with was infected with HIV through a blood transfusion back in the early 80s. She had a rare blood disorder which had necessitated the transfusion.

What appalls me is that the very fact that the blood was tainted was caused by behaviors that these people don't think they should have to give up. It was only after she was diagnosed with HIV that studies began in earnest and massive efforts began to clean up the blood supply.

She was more gracious than I am. She spent the rest of her life trying to educate others about HIV/Aids. Someone's sexual behavior is what caused her eventual death.
