gay men with HIV/AIDS

Instead of giving tribute to groups like the Twinks, Muscle Marys, gay jocks, Gay white male and lipstick Lesbians who for the most part are already on the top food chain of the community, I decided to give tribute to the less fortunate members of the GLBT community.
For the last of my gay pride series, I give tribute to gay men with HIV/AIDS. Although more and more gay men are educated about HIV and more and more gay men know somebody who is infected, still a lot of us have a negative image of people who are positive. Being HIV positive is still a stigma in the community. Some became positive because of reckless behavior and drug use. Some are being careful for the most part but are unlucky and still get it. The bottom line, it is not good to be gay and positive. It is like being discriminated twice. For this blog, I am specially thinking of my good friend who is HIV positive.
I wish science will have a cure soon for this dreaded disease which does not discriminate at all. For those gay haters who still thinks AIDS is God's punishment to the gay people, they are in for a rude awakening. More and more hetero women are catching the disease that their unfateful husbands and partners get unknowingly.
