• This Week in Gayness: Matt Drudge Does Not Love Gay Sex With Men

  Tony Blair stood up to the Pope on homosexuality. Too bad no one cares what he thinks anymore. Rick Warren tried to rewrite history on Larry King's show the other night. Apparently, he didn't support Prop8 or say all those hateful things. Isn't it nice to finally have an Administration that allows gay couples with children to join the Easter Egg Hunt? Read More...

• Thirtysomething is the New Stupidsomething

  Give the gift of condoms this holiday season—to your mom. Okay, maybe not to your mom, unless you're a teenager (in which case, turn off your computer and go watch "Saved by the Bell" right now!), but maybe you should give your older, divorced sister some condoms. Because according to a new study out of the UK, people in their 30's and 40's are much less likely than teenagers to use condoms when having sex with someone new. Read More...

• Cure For AIDS Discovered? Or Is It HIV?

  As Scanner Emily reported earlier, hemotologists in Berlin claim that a bone marrow transplant has cured an American patient of theirs of HIV. Or is it the AIDS virus?

• While You Were Sleeping: The Sexy Mrs. Freddy Kreuger

  We can picture it: a Cleopatra movie starring Catherine Zeta-Jones as the title character and Hugh Jackman as Marc Antony. But a musical? And directed by Steven Soderbergh? Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClelan endorsed Obama on D.L. Hughley's new show. John McCain really needs a high profile endorsement soon-- really, he needs just about anything and everything soon to turn this thing around. Some observers think McCain could be down to funds of only one million dollars a day... you don't even want to know how that compares to Obama's staggering total. Although we suspect it to be an exaggeration, this is nonetheless the most shocking HIV scare story we can recall... Read More...

• This Week In Gayness: Gay Leader Assassinated

  Amazingly, Google (as a corporate megapower) is stepping into the debate over gay marriage: they claim they will do everything they possibly can to insure it stays legal in California. Almost ten years to the day of his death, the Matthew Shepard memorial has been publicly unveiled at the murder victim's former university.  A teenage boy upset that his friend was apparently spreading rumors of his gayness has confessed to the murder of said friend.

• Don't Try This at Home: Penis Cream to Prevent the Transmission of HIV

  Because people are always trying to find a way around using condoms (which we understand, but you just have to do it) and in some cultures just won't wear them for whatever reason, researchers in Melbourne have discovered that rubbing oestrogen on the head of a penis could help prevent the transmission of HIV.

• Don't Say Bill Frist Didn't Warn You About AIDS Saliva

  Looks like Dr. Senator Bill Frist wasn't a crazy homophobe after all, but a rational doctor when he bravely refused to rule out the possibility that sweat and tears transmitted HIV. Because, If sweat, tears and saliva couldn't transmit the virus, why would an HIV positive man have been sentenced to 35 years in jail for spitting? Read More...

• Saddam Hussein: Drop the Soap, Just Don't Share It

  What would you rather: have your hanging/beheading captured on camera phone or contract AIDS in prison? Okay, actually, don't answer that, we don't really want to know. But had you asked Saddam Hussein that question he might have gone with thehanging/beheading. (And he kind-of did, though that wasn't exactly his choice.) Hussein was afraid of catching HIV and/or venereal diseases while in a U.S.-controlled prison, but apparently he didn't know too much about how said diseases are transmitted. Read More...
