20230102 Newsletter: Update, medical breakthrough on obesity.
Thai Body Painting, Morbid Obesity,
INVOLVED WITH FIGHTING A PROTEST AGAINST A SUNDAY BRUNCH DRAG SHOW.
As I thought would happen, the right wing would use one thing to go after the Gay community in general. We have Protect Texas Kids planning to protest an ordinary drag brunch in which adults can bring their kids along. It is just people being movie stars and signers.
I don’t think people realize that the violence that Gays face in Poland, or Tbilisi, George, South Korea, Serbia and other places could develop here in the United States.
So I have been mobilizing a defense of the Gay community. Expect that the newsletters will be short.
BODY POSITIVITY VERSUS GAY HEALTH
Dead at the age of 37, morbidly obese.
Now before discussing this further, I want to make four things clear.
1. Ridiculing overweight people is simply unacceptable.
2. Overweight individuals are often in many ways helpful and great individuals.
3. The problem of being overweight is not easily solved if you are overweight. I won’t go into the science of it, and the multiple factors that tend to keep overweight people overweight, but it isn’t a simple thing to solve. It involved redesigning your life. I am not going to discuss how here. It would do well that people are not judgmental.
4. Some people are attracted to overweight people and that is okay.
UPDATE: I am going to do a special report and will add that link in this section also.

However, the claims of Fat Liberation and the denial of the health hazards involved with being overweight are nonsense and the attempted browbeating of the Gays who are not attracted to overweight people is unacceptable.
The fat liberation movement results in the deaths and suffering of Gay people when Gays take it seriously.
Being overweight just doesn’t happen. It is due to diet and inactivity. Over time in the United States, it has been increasing steadily. In other nations, obesity has starts to be a problem as American fast food is introduced into their nations.
The health hazards for being overweight involve heart attacks and flat feet and risks of diabetes. Neuropathy is a big problem. All your joints are strained. Further when you are overweight you tend to be a lot less active. You become a prisoner of your weight which tends to cause the problem to get worse.
Gays have always tended to see themselves as objects of desire and choose to get exercise and eat well to keep themselves in shape. The rewards of being in shape are somewhat immediate for Gays and so there is strong reinforcement for a healthy diet and exercise. Since a lot of Gays are seeking to be in shape and eat healthy there is a community support and reinforcement to eat healthy and exercise.
However, there are Gays who grow up as part of a younger generation which has high rates obesity and enter the Gay community and find that upon entering the Gay community that there are hot guys they want, and that they aren’t considered hot.
This could result of course in people taking control of their lives and changing their diet and exercise and being healthier and facing challenges in doing so. However, with the modern culture of not being responsible for yourself and instead seeking to be a victim which relieves you of responsibility, some overweight choose to be victims of oppression and embrace body positivity and Fat Liberation.
There could also be a community effort to provide guidance, but that doesn’t happen since it is seen as negative.
Now, if someone is a person who sees their seriously overweight body as beautiful, that is certainly their choice and what is or is not beautiful has always been subjective. The problem arises is that a person might see themselves as beautiful, but others may not share that perception, especially the someone the overweight person desires.
The overweight guy desires the guy who is in shape, but the guy in shape, desires a guy who is in shape also. The overweight guy could go after the other overweight guys, of whom there is no shortage, but the reality is, despite all the ideology, the overweight guy doesn’t desire another overweight guy and further the other overweight guys don’t want an overweight guy either. There are of course exceptions, but generally this is the case.
So various media and advertisers are condemned because they don’t use overweight models and have overweight centerfold. Sometimes there are token gestures.
The media puts out a line that being seriously overweight is okay and not a problem. Gays are lectured that all bodies are beautiful implying that if you don’t see a body as beautiful there is something wrong with you.
There is the tactic of confusing the issue of rudeness in regards to overweight people with not desiring overweight people.
There are supposed “studies” put out, with questionable methods, and likely involving questionable journals, and Author Publishing Charges (APC, you pay a fee to be published in an online journal.) where Gays are supposedly suffering from problems due to their desire to keep fit.
CRISPR BEING TRIED FOR ERADICATING HIV FROM THE BODY
I have reported on this before, but this is a good article on CRISPR for the public.
It explains how this therapy is to eradicate HIV from the body and cure a person. Even if we get an HIV vaccine, we still have the issue of the already infected which could potentially cause a breakthrough infection with a person who has received an HiV vaccine.

This is the universities press release on being the site for the EBT-101 clinical trial.
https://today.rowan.edu/news/2022/12/cmsru-hiv-crisprstudy.html
More news on this. Temple University is a well-known and prestigious university
Of course, this doesn’t mean a cure for HIV is around the corner, there will have to be trials, and it might be it that EBT-101 works to some extent, but needs further development. If it the first version works, it still will need years of testing. Some side-affect might be found, or it only works with a certain class of individuals, or can’t be taken by a class of individuals.
What the importance of this article is to show how the entirely new biotechnologies of the last 10 to 15 years offer new approaches that were impossible before.
As Gay people we might ask are all the possibilities of the new biomolecular scientific developments being looked at for curing HiV and for the possibilities that are identified, is there enough funding?
REVIEW OF BROS UPDATED WITH THIS PARAGRAPH ADDED
Being a “chocolatier” is actually about selling social status rather than chocolate. Hence the ribbons, and cute boxes, and maybe a bag with a label to let people know they have purchased a high end expensive chocolate. “Chocolatier” instead of chocolate maker is part of selling of class status. Aaron has given up a good productive useful job to pander to those who want to purchase class status.
R/GAYTRANSGUYS
Besides wanting to police someone else's sexuality, this post shows who is actually wanting to date a transman. Tranmen are always aghast to discover yet another straight guy who is claiming to be Bi or Pansexual and really just a straight guy looking for sex from desperate transmen.

Women with breasts expects to get sex from Gay men at saunas or cruising. By the way, dark rooms and dark places are no longer safe spaces. You have been warned.
