Perhaps a cup of coffee might help wake you up? If not perhaps a photo of a shirtless, handsome young guy might suffice? Just trying to chase away those Monday blues. Have a good one.
This weekend the largest U.S. gay-rights organization, HRC, endorsed efforts to promote the use of Truvada, a once-a-day pill to prevent HIV infection. They are now calling on insurers to provide more generous coverage of the drug.
Truvada’s preventive use has been endorsed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and many HIV/AIDS advocacy groups, but America’s puritanical tendencies alongside valid concerns that the drug might promote risky sexual behavior that won’t protect against other STDs has led to some doctors being reluctant to prescribe Truvada.
I welcome the HRC’s efforts in this area and hope their new policy paper which strongly supports the preventive use of Truvada and encourages health insurers to provide better insurance coverage will help increase awareness of the drug and make it more accessible to all.

This is exactly how I like to wake up on a Sunday morning ‘cept genetics have played a cruel joke on me so I’m minus the scruff.
Have a great Friday evening and enjoy this week’s bonus fur post.
This year’s Orthodox Calendar is decidedly more provocative. How do I know this? The calendar that features barely clad men with chiseled bodies arrived at my house while I was away on business.
OC maintains that their unconventional and bold images are used to counteract the negative influences of most of the Orthodox Church leadership and challenge notions of sexuality. You can learn more about this group and purchase the 2015 calendar here.
Much thanks for the 2015 O.C. calendar!

It has been awhile since I last posted a photo of my friend Dirk. I think he makes for an ideal bonus fur post – don’t you?
You know when West Virginia says “I do” to same sex marriage that marriage equality will quickly become the law of the land. Hat tip to one of my good friend and bloggah, Dr. J who writes, You Think You Know, for bringing it to my attention in his most recent post.
After W.VA’s Attorney General announced that his office will no longer fight a court challenge on the state’s ban on same-sex marriages, the current governor, Earl Ray, had this to add,
“I do not plan to take any actions that would seek to overturn the courts’ decisions. West Virginia will uphold the law according to these rulings, and I have directed state agencies to take appropriate action to make that possible. Our state is known for its kindness and hospitality to residents and visitors alike. I encourage all West Virginians—regardless of their personal beliefs—to uphold our statewide tradition of treating one another with dignity and respect.”
Earlier this week NYC Drag Queen, Jeza Belle, released her new book The Harlot’s Guide to Classy Cocktails. I figured with the weekend right around the corner this was as good a time as any to give the book a plug. Ms. Belle’s book includes delicious drink recipes as well as true drunken tales from drag queens around the world.
There is more information about Jeza Belle on her Facebook page. To learn more about or to purchase the book, link here: harlotsguide.com.
