• AIDS ignorance confounds us, because AIDS has officially been ravaging the globe for over 25-years. People should know it exists. And, more importantly, they should know how to prevent it. The staggering dearth of readily available, government-provided information, of course, leads to bizarre cultural coping, as in Papua New Guinea:
Some people with HIV/Aids in Papua New Guinea are being buried alive by their relatives, a health worker says.Margaret Marabe said families were taking the extreme action because they could no longer look after sufferers or feared catching the disease themselves.
Ms Marabe said she saw the "live burials" with her own eyes during a five-month trip to PNG's remote Southern Highlands.
We know it can be hard getting out to the rural areas, but the government may want to invest in a helicopter or something. Or, rather, they should have already done that. They known about the worrisome HIV rate for quite a while.
• Box cars may be cheaper than queer consumer outreach, but they certainly weren't as marketable.
• Should neo-nazis be banned from YouTube. Some say, "Hell yes, motherfucker!"
• Post suicide attempt, Owen Wilson finds time, energy, publicist to ask you to respect his privacy.
• University of Vermont gets gender neutral toilets. Jim Naugle sharpens pitchfork.
• Jose Alberto Felix better have a good lawyer. The 30-year gay Texan former teacher just started his murder trial for the 2005 kidnapping and murder of Oscar Sanchez.
• Should gays boycott Barneys because the anti-gay Dubai government owns it?

Gay, straight, bi, et al. should boycott Barney's. UAE forces "hormone treatment" for those convicted of being gay.
Sick and inhumane.
Sell off the stock, and watch the retailer crumble without our support!
Re. the Gawker gay holocaust joke: I don't care whether a gay blogger wrote it. It's unacceptable to make fun of the killing of tens of thousands of people like us whose only crime was to be living in the wrong place at the wrong time. These were people like us who were rounded up, shipped to concentration camps where they were abused and tortured, and, in most cases, murdered. Just because one can, one shouldn't. What's next? Make jokes about the beheaded gays in Iran last year? Make merry of the Papuan AIDS sufferers who, as you reported, are buried alive? Laugh at our friends who died of AIDS in the 1980s while the rest of the country turned a blind eye? Whether Sicha is or isn't gay is not the issue. It's the callousness of the comment, the use use of gays as fodder for cheap opportunistic humor. This message should not be tolerated, no matter who the messenger is.
i can't stand the UAE, i don't like them… they scare the shit out of me… i don't want to go to Dubi, i don't want to party hard while women still have to cover up.
that may all be for nothing, but they are a society that condemns homosexuality… so… i agree, boycott Barney's.
Also, wasn't there suppose to be an "a-list outing" today? whatever happened with that?
I solemnly swear not to shop at Barney's. Gee that was easy… since I can't afford to shop there anyway!
Well, if the rich white Chelsea boys boycott Barneys NY, sales will drop by about 60%.
Trouble is, how to get enough of them to, like, care?
