"The school formal is meant to be a formal dance between a young man and a young woman, not a young man and a young man,"  

"We love all our [gay] students as we do all people in our churches but their lifestyle is not encouraged, particularly if it was a promiscuous lifestyle. We are dealing with young people here.

- Dr Laurie Scandrett, Chief Exeuctive of the Sydney Anglican School Corporation says no to marriage and to dancing for same sex couples

Today is World AIDS Day

As part of World AIDS day there are a number of events happening around NSW. Check out the ACON site for all the details.

This afternoon I will be launching a new sexual health resource for youth workers. developed by the Youth Accommodation Association, this kit assists youth workers to begin dialogue with young people (in particular those who are homeless) about sexual health.

Julia Gillard had a piece in the Daily Telegraph today outlining the problems with prevention fatigue.

ACON has the best definition of what World AIDS Day is about:

This day is a chance for people the world over to:

  • Remember the friends, family and partners we have lost;
  • Remember those who are living with HIV
  • Remember to look after each other by knowing your HIV
  • status

  • Remember that using condoms prevents HIV transmission and
  • Remember to buy a Red Ribbon to continue to provide prevention programs and services to people with HIV.
