So what happened with gay men and meth? A couple of years ago everyone was in a panic. Eighth Avenue was crowded with bus stop posters decrying the scourge that was crystal methamphetamine, it seemed like everyone knew someone who had just lost their job or soul to Tina, brunch pals were dropping like flies. Health officials and community activists made the direst possible predictions about the perfect storm of meth and HIV, not to mention flesh-eating, drug-resistant bacterial infections. Yikes!

Well, the truth is that meth, like crack cocaine, is still around and still wreaking havoc in the lives of gay men and others; it’s just gone underground. The public panic has waned, as it always does – a point this newspaper’s Duncan Osborne has taken pains to point out – and all the hoopla has subsided into the daily grind of users using and former users struggling to stay clean.

Some people are just more outdoorsy. Nothing like sex in a tree. In NYC before Gulianni, there were a lot of opportunities to be had along the River etc. Going to a club is more of a commitment than some people want to make on a regular basis. I think they have pretty much zoned many fun spots out.

It's not necessarily true that if he's hyper, he's always on meth. That's a hard drug to be using all the time and have a responsible job. Meth is really hard for sexual gay men to give up The hard part is that it is an amazing sex drug in terms of engendering tirelessness and restraining of the orgasmic response; It also leaves people obsessive. Esp. good looking guys can go from one person to the next with ease. The biggest danger is HIV, since people get careless. What are the search laws in NYC? That part seems odd. What if it's an illegal search? I hope that this won’t fuck up his career, which would be sad.

When will gay guys just go back to coke? Atleast with coke you can feasibly go to bed in a few hours.

Although, I cannot say I am entirely suprised about the meth. His last report (that I saw) on CNN, and from what I hear...all of his reports, make him out to be really bouncy and hyper and like he's on something. He didn't even hit my gaydar, though. That part is suprising. All in all, he was a cool dude and it would be a mistake for CNN to fire him and not support him through this difficult situation. This is very sad.

Despite The Ramble's reputation as a gay crusing/sex in the bushes site, Button testified he was "just jogging." Not certain what "fumbled debate" you're talking about but I heard about one in which the moderators finally decided to not go down on Obama for two hours which has a lot of the Obamabots in a tizzy—but, of course, they only are really concerned about its lack of substance.
