Another alleged misuse of federal funding in the fight to stop AIDS occurred in Tampa Bay, Fla., where the non-profit Tampa Hillsborough Action Plan (THAP) "rang up nearly $1,000 in meal charges in a three-week period and were also afforded the use of sport utility vehicles," the CAGW said.

This is an example of abuse and rightly condemned and ought to be officially investigated.

However, the first two allegations may or may not be 'abuse' as they are simply suggestions of scandal wherein the "conservative" audience will not ask for specific evidence, only recoil at gross suggestions. Is there any evidence a dime of taxpayer funds went to teach workshops on having anal sex while suffering diarrhea? And, frankly, with regards to the other "Positive Choice" allegation, many homosexuals could use *more* flirting (more old time heterosexual courting rituals) and less anonymous sex to prevent HIV transmission.

Again, I demand to know the specifics and where the money is going. We're being asked to assume taxpayers are paying for "Blow by Blow" seminars when the article does not establish whether these organizations have or use other monies to fund these programs.

Excluding the ending and Tampa Bay specifics, this is really just another divisive "conservative" anti-homosexual hit piece--a political trap--heavy on innuendo and light on facts.

Conservatives need to work harder to not bite at what, for some of them, are "hot-buttons" but which lack substance. They need to devote energy where the facts are shown. This sort of "reporting" is pathetic, even for choir-feeding propoganda.

I'm pretty sure Washington did their own study on this, and said the classes were selling pornography. and endorsing sexual behavior rather than teaching prevention.
I believe they cut off their funding until they go back to AIDs prevention.That's what the money was SUPPOSE to be used for.

They(the queers) said they needed the porn and sex classes to draw the other queers to classes, otherwise no one came.
Maybe there's a thread on it. I probably read the article here.

#5 post:"is there any evidence a dime of taxpayer funds went to teach workshops on having anal sex while suffering diarrhea?" If it didn't come from taxpayer funds, state specifically where it did come from.
