GAY SAN FRANCISCO POLITICIAN WANTS TO BE A COMMUNITY SEX SYMBOL

September 19, 2014 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

San Francisco, California (The Adobo Chronicles)- An openly-gay San Francisco politician has gone public about being sexually active and wants to be a community sex symbol while serving as a role model for the prevention of HIV/AIDS.

Supervisor Scott Wiener who represents the predominantly gay Castro district has announced that he has been taking the one-pill-a-day pre-exposure prophylaxis believed to prevent HIV infection. It is known as PrEP (brand name Truvada).

Wiener, who said he was HIV negative, said that abstinence from sex is still the best way to prevent infection. “Since I don’t want to abstain from sex, I have to find a way to keep my HIV-negative status. Condoms are not 100% effective,” he added.

Other community activists criticized Wiener’s decision to come out about PrEP, pointing out that Truvada — unlike condoms –does not protect people from sexually-transmitted diseases other than HIV. They said that PrEP may lead people to throw out condoms altogether and to totally abandon safer sex practices.

Wiener refused to reveal how many times per week he engages in sex, or how many multiple partners he has had — anonymous or not. He would ‘t say either whether or not he’s been having unprotected sex. “Those are very personal information ” he said.

We assume that revealing one’s prophylaxis regimen – like Wiener did – is not.

Atlanta, Georgia (The Adobo Chronicles) – CNN is now reporting that the late Joan Rivers’ doctor is suffering from Selfitis, a condition just recently classified by the American Psychiatric Association as a mental disorder.

On August 28, Rivers went into the Yorkville Endoscopy Clinic for an outpatient procedure on her vocal chords performed by Dr. Lawrence Cohen. Then, another doctor, identified by sources as Joan’s “personal ear-nose-throat physician” did a biopsy of her vocal cords. It was during the biopsy that Rivers went into cardiac arrest. She later died on September 4.

The CNN investigative report quotes an eyewitness who said that Joan’s personal doctor took a selfie photo inside the procedure room just before she stopped breathing. The photo was taken while Rivers was under anesthesia, according to the eyewitness, a “staff member” at Yorkville Endoscopy clinic.

Santiago, Philippines' Iron Lady — Santiago, Philippines’ Iron Lady

Manila, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Philippine Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago is often referred to as the ‘Iron Lady of the Philippines.’ She is not one to hold back on criticizing or condemning politicians who are corrupt or who use their elective positions to enrich themselves or propagate their political careers or dynasty. She is often mentioned as a viable candidate for president in the 2016 elections.

Unfortunately, she was recently diagnosed with lung cancer, forcing her to take a leave of absence from her Senate duties. In the last couple of weeks, she had announced that 80% of her cancer is gone and that she is seriously considering a run for president in 2016.

For the first time since her cancer diagnosis, Santiago returned to the Senate and announced that she was filing a new bill that would legalize the use of the middle finger against corrupt politicians. “As for the jerks in government, they are the reason God created the middle finger,” she said as she introduced her new bill.

“If my bill will pass, I will use my middle finger unsparingly to expose anomalies , corruption and stupidity that are so rampant and pervasive in our government ” she declared.

Will she become the new Margaret Thatcher?
