This is very interesting. Nowadays if you are HIV positive and have unprotected sex with someone, and they get infected, you can be charged with manslaughter.

when i was 37, I decided to try gay anal sex and the guy was very sadistic before and performing on me. I met him a couple more times and it was pretty brutal. Then I went back to females for good. what a terrible experience.

@2: Seriously? WTF are you talking about? You allowed yourself to be butt brutalized by a sadist multiple times and that taught you you're better off having sex with just women? How about not having brutal butt sex with sadists?

On another note, on a whim, at 37 yesterday I decided to try switching to Pinot Noir. I got the bottle lodged by my spleen and had to have abdominal surgery, so now I'm only going to drink Chardonnay, because, well, you know.

What I want to know is why this kid thinks that he has to have sex? Why does it not cross his mind to just say no to unprotected sex? Sounds like BKBC he has boundary issues that need dealing with. I am with @4 and dumbfounded that people like Watkins actually allow themselves to continue their destructive behavior. Do these folks not have a conscience?

#1, I did not know that so I googled and indeed someone was charged after a couple of people died who were infected by him. Still, seems hard to prove.
I once had a student who had unprotected sex knowing they were HIV positive and it was really hard for me get over being so pissed and disgusted and be the teacher. That said, I have no problem despising Watkins and think he should change his ways yesterday!

How was Brandon Teena a "gay victim of hate crime"?

@7, are you serious? Brandon Teena was a trans-man who was raped and murdered in Nebraska. The movie Boys Don't Cry is based on his life....

#8: myq was dangling bait, and you went for it. If not for the two-year gap, you would now be getting harangued about Teena "really" being a man, and thus not gay.

@789: Nobody said that Brandon Teena was gay. He was a straight trans guy. The thing is: Homophobia and transphobia are often related.
