HIV Vax Now.
This is the single biggest problem we face now. It is something that the LGBTQXYZ+ isn’t pushing, and we have as of Sunday afternoon 13 signatures total. Now there is a real possibility of having an HIV vaccine, and if we push, we can have one. I am not relying only on a petition. I will be writing letters. and having letters posted for readers to copy and send on their own.

A satirical article about how Trans ideology sees homosexuality as homophobic.
The Critic, April 11, 2025, “Homosexuality is transphobic: The woke case against same-sex attraction.”
… The concepts of “same-sex attraction” and “opposite-sex attraction” are inherently transphobic. They are based on the offensive premise that there are only two sexes, when of course there are literally millions. For instance, out of the twelve members of my fortnightly tantric ecofeminist drum circle, over forty different sexes are represented.
Let’s not forget the wisdom of Nancy Kelley, the former CEO of Stonewall, who said that women who excluded people with penises from their dating pool were “sexual racists”. Some of the bravest lesbians I know are extremely well hung. In fact, it would be more enlightened to think of penises as upgraded vaginas.

Letter to the Advocate asking for retraction and apology, and petition started asking them to do so.
Next step will be to contact all the Gay camps that are being targeted.
34 Gay camp grounds targeted to force them to accept transmen. Grizzly Pines was just the first step in the plan.
Next step will be to contact all the Gay camps that are being targeted.
Wrote a letter to the CEO of Jisc about being banned and sent copies to the entire executive team. Updated this post.
Also, send copies of the letter and the first page of the post about being banned o Unheard, Spiked, The Telegraph, The Scotsman, and The Sun. Did mail copies to others since they don’t have addresses to which you can mail. They do have something online to drop tips, but I think that is primarily to not get physical mail and still have people feel they can submit something.
I know the political leanings of some of these publications, but at this point, I need to do what is necessary for the defense of the Gay community and not worry about ideological issues.

A new avenue to combat aging.
This area of research is just developing. There are a lot of things in human biology that haven’t been explored because there weren’t the tools to investigate them before. Also, now with the new tools there are so many things to explore, it is going to take time to do the exploration.
I have said that aging is just a technical problem. There is nothing mystical about it.
Science, April 17, 2025, “Risky Moves: Can blocking “jumping genes” treat diseases and aging?”
These vagrant sequences, some of which are relics of viruses that invaded cells long ago or may even be derived from symbiotic bacteria, make up more than 40% of the human genome but were once seen as largely harmless. However, a variety of evidence from human cell lines, lab animals, and epidemiological studies has implicated their antics in illnesses such as lupus, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson’s disease, and cancer, as well as in aging. [Boldface added.
It turns out that they can go rogue and move around an interrupt or mutate or cause troubles with our genetics and cause many problems.

Oral weight loss pill that works.
This newsletter has pointed out that there are going to be next generation weight loss drugs and that pharmaceutical corporation will be working on an oral form. It seems the first oral drug has arrived.
Before discussing this latest drug, which will be good, but it isn’t going to transform you, I want to emphasize you still need to stop eating trash food and get some exercise.
Of course with an oral form, there will be people who will now start taking GLP-1 drug that wouldn’t sign up for an injectable form. Also, an oral pill, might be a stepping stone for people then moving on to having an injectable drug.
So expect the number of people getting GLP-1 medicine to go up.
The Body Positivity movement which has said that obesity is harmless, despite the obvious ill effects of obesity is going to start facing its demise. A lot of people who bought into the Body Positivity’s ideology about obesity will start taking some form of GLP-1.
It turns out that Pfizer’s oral drug development effort has stopped since they had problems with their pill, but I expect that pharmaceutical firms will still continue to try to develop an oral pill to get part of the market, including Pfizer.
It remains to see what the price of Lilly’s pill will be, but as competitors develop their own pills, prices will likely drop.
One barrier remains, is that this drug is developed for blood sugar issues, and isn’t sold as a weight loss drug. Chances are if you are overweight and older you have high blood sugar, but you might not and if you are younger, I don’t know if you will a blood sugar level to justify getting it.

Moral scolds who are against just taking the Ozempic for weight loss.
This is their reason.
Although some people may benefit from taking Ozempic for weight loss if they have a comorbid medical issue, using this prescription medication for the sole purpose of losing weight medicalizes fatness and fails to address the real issue: weight stigma. The so-called “obesity epidemic” harms people living in larger bodies, contributes to anti-fatness and body weight bias, and can lead to mental health problems and eating disorders, such as binge eating disorder, anorexia nervosa, or bulimia nervosa.
This article makes the assertion that if some people lose weight by taking Ozempic, others will develop eating disorders, and then it goes on to descript eating disorders.
So the idea is that you need to remain obese because someone else might develop an eating disorder.
What also needs to be considered is that people who don’t want to be obese, can take a pill instead of developing an eating disorder. A weight loss drug might be the means of preventing eating disorders.
There are those who need obesity to continue to keep their jobs and cash flow.
The whole body positivity movement and fat liberation movement will be out of a job.
Also, the whole business of selling therapy for eating disorders will see the end of their cash flow.
There is an obesity epidemic and until now not much done about it.

Effort to end criminal penalties for homosexual conduct in Texas.
Many states, mostly where Evangelicals have political influence, have anti-homosexual sex laws. There hasn’t been a concentrated focus on changing the law. The Dallas Gay Liberation newsletter intends to concentrate on this issue.
This needs to be a serious focus, time stretches on and on, and Supreme Court decisions do get reversed. Also it is again an issue where the LGBTQXYZ+ has forgotten basic Gay issues.
If the Supreme Court decision is reversed, it won’t be like it was before, the Texas Attorney General will undertake measures to shut down bars, bathhouses, and other institutions as placed aiding and abetting violations of the law.
A Texas with a new program of suppressing Gays could be a prototype on how to repress Gays everywhere in the United States.
Gender ideology implodes in the UK
The American LGBTQXYZ+ is very upset. The Democrats are surely paying attention. However, there are new covert efforts to undermine the UK Supreme Court decision. The battle was won, but not the war.
