Gay-Party-Guide on Tour!

A gel that was praised by the science community in its ability to reduce the rate of HIV transmission through sexual contact can also prevent the transmission of herpes, according to a study.

Tenofovir does not offer complete protection against sexually transmitted infections, but the gel showed a 39% reduction against HIV. It was later discovered that the gel disrupts and enzyme that allows for herpes replication. The pill form of Tenofovir still does not have an effect on herpes.

A 2010 study in South Africa shows that Tenofovir cut the rate of herpes infection by 51%. Among women who used the gel consistently, there was a 54% protection rate against HIV, and a 64% protection rate against herpes, according to Jezebel. A followup study showed that in controlled laboratory cultures, Tenofovir can reduce herpes viral levels by 99%.

My Latin professor told me that the only thing he has against homosexuality is that you’re mixing a Greek prefix with a Latin root.

So I wore my gay pride shirt to school today.

And in chemistry class I was talking to my friend, Jack, about a gay pride festival I went to. My teacher, stupid nosy bitch, decides she wants to join in on the conversation. She asks me what I’m talking about so I turned around and her reaction was to make a noise of utter disgust. She asked me to go to the main office and get a different shirt. But being the rebel that I am, I told her very politely “no, if you don’t like it you don’t have to look at it. It’s my shirt, not yours, and there’s nothing wrong with it.” She told me again that I needed to change my shirt. I said again that I wasn’t and she told me she would have to send me to my administrator for direct disrespect. So I put on a big smile and packed my stuff up while she wrote the discipline report up.

But the thing that made me so happy that I didn’t give in and change was that as I was walking out the door a girl in my class stood up and started to walk with me. My teacher was kinda pissed and told her that she would get a write up if she didn’t sit down. And this girl, she is my fucking hero. She says: “Write me up then. It’s one more story that I can go home and tell my mothers. And I’m sure my girlfriend would love to hear it, too.” Then she smiled and walked out. I just felt the need to share what happened today with my lovely followers.
