The News Journal Recognizes World AIDS Day
News Journal Recognizes World AIDS Day
People may think of AIDS as a disease that strikes only certain groups -- men who have sex with men or people who use intravenous drugs -- but 24 percent of Delawareans living with HIV/AIDS were exposed through heterosexual contact, according to state statistics.
While the largest number of HIV/AIDS cases continue to be diagnosed among African-American men, women are getting infected at increasing rates. In 1990, 24 percent of newly diagnosed AIDS cases were female; in 2008, women accounted for 34 percent of new cases, according to a comprehensive HIV prevention plan developed last year by the Delaware Division of Public Health and the Delaware HIV Consortium.

Sarah Palin and the Word "Faggot"
Mostly missed, in an hour-long interview with Sean Hannity that produced buzz worthy soundbites about Katie Couric and Dancing with the Stars, was former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s unprompted response to the uproar surrounding daughter Willow’s recent Facebook misadventure.

The Kids Are All Right
Just watched this movie tonight: The Kids are Alright. Fantastic! If you want to see hardcore girl-on-girl action, look somewhere else. But if you want to see a beautiful family live, eat, make mistakes and love... this movie is for you.

A Quote for the day:
With Thanksgiving approaching, consider this:
Thankfulness is a sincere appreciation of something that's so profound it becomes humbling. Think about what affects you to that extent and if nothing drives you, maybe you need to reassess your motives.

Haven's Trans Awareness Discussion
Wednesday,
November 17 @ 7:00 pm
Memorial Hall, Room 123
Newark, DE
Haven's Trans Awareness Event
Haven is bringing Donna Rose, a lovely, post-op transsexual woman to talk about transgender issues and her personal experiences in her transformation from masculine man to feminine woman. She has had an incredible journey, and wants to share her experiences and discoveries with the world.
It is difficult for people to understand just how profoundly gender affects our culture until you hear from someone who has not only tried to cross the gender divide, but has done so successfully.
We hope to see you there!

A Lesson from Nature
Many believe that a strong exterior reflects a strong interior, but in fact it is quite the opposite: a hardened exterior conceals a softer interior. Consider the design of oysters, their shell is developed for protection. We will emotionally develop similar a shell purely for protection. Conversely, the softest exterior reflects a stronger interior. Consider the design of a peach fruit. It has a solid pit and its fleshy surroundings, but the peach utilizes that design as nourishment for the growth of the seed. Try to see beyond the allegorical descriptions, for there are genuine analogies that can be made.
This lifestyle is like that of a pine tree. Under the heaviest amounts of snow, the pine tree's branches will never submit. However under the same circumstances, any other tree's branches might all be broken. One could find irony in that the pine tree yields the softest woods of the trees yet remains standing in spite of its incredible duress.
The greatest paradox about the self is that vulnerability is the ultimate strength.
Consider how this analogy can be compared to the process of Coming Out.
