I'm back in LA

but I still have plenty of posting to do...

BUT FIRST!

This is awesome: "Asia-Pacific youth seek say in HIV policies"

"Ago Moccoro, 18, from Philippines, said the Universal Declaration of Human Rights stated that all people had a fundamental right to life, health, livelihood and dignity. These rights needed to be respected, protected and fulfilled for all young people, including but not limited to street children, young people who injected drugs, lesbian and transgender young people and young people living or born with HIV."

::grateful exhale::

Oh, a post-filled day

An uplifting read: "Pinoy missionary preaches condom use in Cambodia"

"'Personally for me it is not a betrayal of my religion. People are dying so how do you protect them? Of course we teach them to abstain or be faithful but if you have a husband who is already infected and the wife is not infected, how can they have sex if they don't have protection? You cannot risk infecting your spouse with HIV just because the Church doesn't allow condoms.'"

Now that's an amen and a half. :D
