Still they don't want Condoms in Prison!!!!

Face it, men in prison will be having sex with other men, Condoms need to be handed out. these damn faith based groups need to keep their fucking mouths shut and stay the hell out. we all know this abstinence shit does work. having sex is just like breathing and eating. We don't need to be taught how to do it.

OMWGH.......

The debate is controversial for a few reasons. Most apparent are the reasons that faith based groups have, which is their on message mantra that first ascribes to abstinence only. Handing out condoms, they believe, would also encourage homosexuality. This is to be expected, as this debate has been going on for years. The second issue is that of sexually activity in prisons. Sexual contact is prohibited inside prison walls and legislators along with some at the prison facilities believe handing out condoms would encourage sexual contact.

Sexual activity is going to occur regardless of whether or not it is prohibited, 1 percent of inmates are raped and while a perpetrator may not use a condom it is pretty irresponsible to restrict access to condoms. Rev. Doris Green, director of community affairs for the AIDS Foundation of Chicago is pushing hard for the bill. She explains to the Trib that she is concerned for the African American community, which accounts for half of the nationwide case of HIV/AIDS. As she explains, "It's about more than just the prisoners." As the men are released they may pass along the infection to family or someone else.

More Hate in the Name of the Bible

Demonstrators Seek to Convert Homosexuals

Raul Cabral, News Editor

Demonstrators from the anti-gay group Repent America showed up at PCC on Wednesday to "spread the word of God," but they encountered stiff resistance from a number of students, many of whom belonged to the Rainbow Student Alliance.

"This is an outright attack," said student Mitch Zeider. "These people are not spreading love, they are spreading hatred."

Repent America member Jim Deferio, however, thought otherwise. "People that argue against what we have to preach are usually just trying to get something off their chest," he said. "We're here to spread the word of our lord and savior Jesus Christ, but these people seem more interested in attacking us. We don't use the language they use, and, when they hit us, we don't hit them back."

Student Bee Lupia, who was one of the more vocal protesters, seemed pleased that the group was on campus. "These guys are doing nothing more than harrassing students," she said. "I'm happy that they're out here, though, because many gays are extremely offended and they are letting these people know exactly how they feel."

According to Deferio, PCC was not singled out. "We go on college campuses all around the southland and try to make these people understand what it is we're trying to preach."

In addition to alienating homosexuals, the group also spoke out against murderers/babykillers, moneygrubbers, and "mouthy women."

"I feel that these people are condemning everyone," said Annie Bohnstedt. "It seems that Everyone is on their list."

"This is the typical response we get wherever we go," said Repent America member Paul Johnson.

"I'm sad that we're acting this way, because it's all out of defense," said Zeider. "We don't deserve to be treated like this."
