Something like it gets real quiet around here when you mentioned homosexual's. LOL

Tap in this post of mine, and notice the date.

I was around when AIDS was first discovered. It was in the 80's ? if I remember right. Prior to that in the 70's men were coming out of the closet so to say, and it was sheek for them to vamp... I want to say on Sunset Blvd...with their convertible tops down in their cars, and and fling their tu's tu's and people walking on the side walks would shriek with delight. It was the "in" thing back in early 1972-1974. I was there and saw this.

Then the mysterious disease struck. If I remember right it was first called Immune deficiency syndrome. They couldn't figure out if it was the junkies who were passing it or the homosexuals. They shut the bath houses down in Los Angeles. That developed into any outcry from the homosexual community. Then the homo's blamed the junkies and the junkies couldn't get it together to defend themselves but they blamed the homo's. It got ugly between the two.

Someone (non user) stepped up to take the junkies side. The fight continued between the junkies and the homo's each blaming each other with the homo's winning. Then they put a stop to the fight and named it AIDS.

I've watched how this disease has blossomed out of control all over. At any rate I've lived and seen the whole thing. The homo's got it together so to say,,,while the junkie's...well I don't have to tell you how that one goes.

I've always been for the needle exchange program...fwiw

I guess some Christians, aren't for this. They would rather see the junkies die...than offer free clean needles. I quit following that topic but when I arrived in Los Angeles back in 2000 it was a hot topic here.

Back in 1974 when I left Calif...Hollywood was still o.k. Now I haven't been back there as I was told it was seedy and well..I'll I spare you the details. (Of what I have been told) Also Hollywood always had a problem with prostitution I would say. People would come out here thinking they were going to strike it big in the movie industry only to find out it wasn't going to happen. They turn to prostitution to support themselves and before long get strung out on drugs. So it goes, and I bet this has been going on since before I was even born. (The prostitution angle) but now...it's young boys pimping themselves off as well.

No I'm not quiet. But what the heck I don't expect much to change....And I sure don't plan on making it my ministry to minister to them. Not my bag.
