It's mostly men of color who have sex with men who come under this level of scrutiny and societal control when it comes to non-disclosure prosecutions. This doesn't help that at all.
The response afforded Danny Pintauro was proof this ain't no parlor game. It was appalling, even on "The View," with the supposedly trailblazing Raven (she keeps winning LGBTQ awards, mysteriously) asking the dumbest questions on the panel.
"I'm a comedian, but in my spare time, things bother me." Garry Shandling
Yes! Exactly. Of course, a straight man will be treated differently, but god help him if there's a whiff of fruitiness about him. And, best wishes to him if he is just unlucky enough not to be Caucasian.
I'm not a fan of criminalizing sex between consenting adults, notwithstanding status. And I really take issue with the term "womanizing". Sex-shaming is never appropriate irrespective of the adult individual, pairing or grouping involved.
Sex shaming is terrible, but Namo's right. It's what we do. Just last week at a sex party in Silverlake, I told a new friend that that his shoes really clashed with his jockstrap. Shoulda just bit my tongue.
I'm trying to be a manizer at the leather bar I once made a thread about but can't find. I can't believe I haven't got any action yet with these sluts.
Just so we are clear.... If this A-lister knew he was HIV positive and engaged in unprotected sex with someone else, which seems to be the case, it's a felony punishable by up to eight years in jail. While you may not agree, this is California's law and must be recognized. We are talking about a potential felon here.
Damn, life hit Charlie Sheen hard in the face! He's only 50 and looks 60!
If in fact he is the actor in question and he knew of his status and still went out and had unprotected sex, then he most definitely should be taken into custody and criminal charges brought against him.
Still uneasy about criminalizing sex. This is a delicate topic which I'll treat accordingly. Forgive me for pointing out the obvious but there are couples in which both are aware that at least one is sero-positive. Some of those couples opt to have children. Outside that, there is always the possibility that there could be an unplanned pregnancy. In the event of a mother-to-child transmission, however unlikely today, should child services race in and take the child away from the parents, declare the child a ward of the state, and sue the parents on the child's behalf, or worse engage with the jurisdiction's attorney to bring about criminal charges?
The Daily Mail is saying Brooke Mueller was one of the women exposed, when they were already married, and that she fell back to drugs as a result. What's that about it taking two to tango and the women also bearing responsibility?
He's got a stack of film & TV acting credits to his name and is part of Hollywood royalty. Until fairly recently, he could demand a princely sum for lending his name & time to a project. If he could have stayed clean & sober, he'd arguably be as well received as George Clooney these days. His demons got the better of him and he's become toxic to others around him. I hope he gets help as well as those whose lives he's turned upside down.
