Your recent column about gay “bug chasers” was booooring. No one cares if gay guys want to infect themselves with AIDS! While you may be gay, most of your readers are not. Write about straight problems! Don’t spend so much time writing about booooring gay shit! –Ta Ha & Straight Edge Boy

But before we get to the gay shit, I need to get this out of the way. Dear Katie, the pettiest Kate in Christendom: I promised to reveal the decision of the Supreme Court of Sex-Toy Retailers in the high-profile case of You v. Me in this week’s column. The court has handed down its ruling, I’ve read it, and it’s fair enough. But you’ll just have to wait another week to find out if you’re getting that Magic Wand you clearly need so desperately.
But take comfort, Eric. Your preferred method of dealing with these dumb assholes–“Let’s talk about your issues, you poor baby!”–is the approach taken by AIDS educators everywhere. “No judgment” has been their article of faith for more than ten years now, and we’ve got nothing but rising HIV infection rates to show for it.
So, hey, while gay men are busily–and rightly–protesting Rolling Stone’s irresponsible story, howzabout we also take a little time to protest the irresponsible actions of some gay men? I’d personally like to see an HRC press release calling bullshit on gay men who “knowingly risked the health of their sex partners.”
