Gay Partisan twitter community
I created a Twitter community. Gay Partisan.

Twitter has a lot less censorship than Facebook and I strongly recommend it to artists to display their work.
Very encouraging results of Phase I mRNA HIV vaccine test
The first phase, Phase 1 testing is to see if the vaccine is safe. Before they go and inject a lot of people with the vaccine, they need to makes sure it is safe.
The other that they look at is whether the vaccine has indications it is doing what it is expected to do. It doesn’t mean it works. If you administered a vaccine and in blood tests you didn’t see it doing what it was supposed to be doing, there would be no point in giving it to hundreds of people.
They have measures of the antibodies a vaccine produces, cellular immune responses, and other things.
The result of the Phase I Moderna mRNA HIV vaccine was that there were no harmful effects. There was good development of cellular immunity and the right types of B-cells and T-cells.
This is just a first step in a series of steps to come up with a vaccine. However, part of this Phase I test, was to generally test out the feasibility of mRNA technology for a vaccine program and it passed with flying colors. It shows that the next steps are very likely to be successful.
This is a good report for the general public.

These are still somewhat readable by the public, perhaps with some knowledge of science.

What do we need to do?
1. Be in opposition to anti-mRNA vaccine opposition.
2. Remember anti-vaxxers in the future are likely to be a special risk of HIV.
3. If you are eligible to volunteer to get the vaccine, it would be good if you did. I am not sure if there is a demand for volunteers at this time, but if there is, support the effort.
The homophobic Christians have been using HIV as a club to hit Gays for quite some time. As soon as this HIV vaccine becomes available people need to sign up for it and get it as soon as possible. There shouldn’t be an issue of vaccines waiting for Gays to show up to get it, it should be Gays waiting for more vaccines to be available.
The initial campaign of vaccination should be only held up by the rate of production of the vaccine.
We also need to apply social pressure on those who are lagging in getting the vaccine and anti-vaxxers who refuse an HIV vaccine need to be pariahs.
The Gay community’s strategic position versus homophobic Christians would be greatly improved with the decline of HIV and having an immunized community.
There might be strategies to really drive the decline. Even if vaccinated, it might be good to take Prep, to make sure there is no breakthrough infection until the rate of new HIV cases is driven to a minimum level. I am just speculating here, but we need to be all in to drive HIV down when the vaccine comes out.
Really interesting artist.

An interesting photographer.
I am not sure I understand it, but it is something different.
Showcased artists this last week.
I think I picted the wrong image for this artist. My post didn’t get much engagement. He is really interesting, check him out. I have artists lined up for this coming week, but the week afterwards is open.

Dishonest Reporting
This was a headline on LGBTQNATION
Sounds like a terrible Nazi Gay person doesn’t it?
Until you get further in the article and you see this.
You see it is a symbol representing the repressive and anti-free speech tactics of the gender theorists and queer theorist and the LGBTQXYZ establishment.
The LGBTQXYZ establishment will do anything and everything to suppress dissent and this misrepresentation is an example.
Do I like this symbol? No. I generally don’t like how fascist is casually thrown out by the left, and I think this is a little overly dramatic, but I really don’t like the repressive tactics. I notice other LGBTQXYZ media don’t like it.
They were fishing for a reason to retract it because it undermined their ideology.
A paper which contradicted trans extremist ideology was retracted on a technicality.

Weight Loss
If you like being heavy that is fine also. This is for those who want to lose weight. I know a lot of older Gays having health problems due to their weight.
To go boxes at restaurants
I am at a new restaurant and they have so many good entrées to choose from and I order several. Or their entrées are generous in their portions. Ask for the to go box. For me restaurant food is almost always better than my cooking and now I have a delicious meal or something delicious to go with my next meal.
I tend to order more than I need to eat, but with to go boxes I am not trying to eat all of it. More importantly I am not trying to avoid needing to go boxes by finishing everything.
Your weight jumped up, don’t worry.
Almost inevitably, when you weight drops a lot unexpectedly in your morning weighing, the next day it will jump up. I call it water weight. The thing is that you weight on a day-to-day basis is going up and down with various cycles and things going on with your body. Whatever gave you the really low weight reading yesterday isn’t there the next day.
If you worry about it, you might give up on your diet. Don’t give up, just remember this happens. That is why if you plot your weight, you will see that over time you are on track and losing weight. On the other hand, if you thought the really low weight was a justification for a piece of cake, your weight will go up a lot.
Watchout for calories you are sneaking into your food.
The salad you prepared looks tasty and healthy, but after the amount of salad dressing and the amounts of chucks of fried chicken and the number of croutons, maybe it isn’t so low calorie. You need to be careful in terms of what you add and the quantity of what you add to even healthy foods.
Sometimes we inadvertently add more calories than we realize.
A rebuttal to those homophobic Christians with their Pridemonth spelling “Demon” nonsense.
A lot of anti-Gay Christians are sharing a graphic of PRIDEMONTH with the “demon” emphasized.
I have been replying with this video and referring them to the section at 2min. 5sec. in where Diane Keaton starts talking about God spelled backwards is Dog and she finds that meaningful.
The consequences of “Kid friendly” wasn’t well thought out.
In Dallas, Texas, my local community is getting a lot of protests. They used the issue of “kid friendly” to get started, but they have moved on to going after anything LGBT. I decided to redo the post and share it in this newsletter.
It had occurred to me that this “kid friendly” concept developed by the social worker type Gays had consequences they didn’t think of. I occasion have thought on topics and write up an essay on them. One of my objectives is to develop my thoughts.
