I am actually very disgusted with the gay scene at the moment, out of the 1400 friends i have only 10% changed their profile picture, I was out in town yesterday and in the evening and hardly noticed a red ribbon anywhere. A 19 year old man asked me what the red ribbon was for, (I did however point him in the right direction) well if our kids don't know then are you surprised that cases of HIV & AIDS are on the increase in this country.
HIV & Aids is not just a gay issue but as a community I would have thought we could be educating our kids especially on a day like WAD a little bit more than we do........
There hasn't been a national campaign on TV or any other media for the last 23 years and even the last one by the government scared the shit out of everyone because it wasn't truly accurate.
I would have even thought that a topic like this on a public forum board would have provoked more than 3 comments.....
Sorry guys but I have seen too many of my friends loose their lives to this terrible illness.
