People deservedly criticized Hillary Clinton for her false
historical statement about Reagan and HIV/AIDS.
That referred to HIV issues of the 80s.
Below are some very quick topics I came up with about what current HIV
and LGBT issues would be. Any other
suggestions?
The topics are listed in no particular order.
What would a 2016 HIV agenda look like
HIV Criminalization
Intersectionality, high rates of
infection of African American gay, bi, and other men who have sex with men
PrEP
Extortionist prices for pharmaceuticals
(and the reliance of the LGBT press on pharmaceutical
ads)
Culture (gay by men, same gender
loving, two spirit, transgender women ) vs just-the-facts Behavior (men who
have sex with men)
(there must be an issue related to bio-women,
but I can’t think of it, my blind spot)
Decriminalizing sex work
Harm reduction/decriminalization
drug policy
Other ideas?
What would a 2016 lgbt agenda look like?
(all the HIV issues)
The invisibility of the non-coupled
and how that related to poverty A
correction to the mono- and romanticist focus on same marriage of the last
decade (As it costs more to live alone, poverty levels could be higher among
the non-coupled)
Limitations of ENDA (exemptions for
religious reasons, lack of protection against “gate-keeper” discrimination, its
focus on individual actions)
Standardizing collection of Sexual
Orientation/Gender Identity data including on the US census (this would allow
comparisons of a company’s employees with census figures to show patterns of anti-LGBT
discrimination)
Barring employers, landlords from
using Facebook, internet searches in
hiring or renting decisions (this includes defending sexting )
Barring employers, landlords from
considering tattoos and other body modification in hiring /renting decisions
Other ideas?
