Comments on: Nathaniel Hall caught HIV aged 16 ‘First Time’ tells his story https://quayslife.com/people/nathaniel-hall-first-time-hiv/ Loving life in Salford Quays Wed, 24 Jul 2019 22:19:42 +0000 hourly 1 By: Mrs Taylor https://quayslife.com/people/nathaniel-hall-first-time-hiv/#comment-209 Sat, 24 Nov 2018 11:54:03 +0000 https://quayslife.com/?p=2219#comment-209 I just read your News Article. It amazed me how you could only identify being gay at 12 – 14 years young with the onset of puberty. I find that really confirms my hypothesis/ theory.. Which is a “Hormonal induced change at Birth/ Puberty may be affecting gender preferences”.

Maybe there are other keys.. Nature/Nurture.

I wonder if there was any occasion where you had to personally choose “Refuse/ Accept”?

I only wish for any young person’s going through this ‘grey area’ – to Stop and talk to a ‘Neutral’ Counselor’s- before dating or entering into a sexual relationship: Taking the time to process life.. Rather than just being led by life. (That’s the difference between Humans & Animals.)

Life is not without boundaries!
Life is not without challenges!
But every Life needs balance.

(Grey area’s: Life is seen as Black or White.. But I strongly believe this ‘Same sex Love” is a Search for ‘Something’, as reflected in the complexity or reconstruction of LGBT or LGBTQIA.. “Binary”..

While you are celebrating AIDS/HIV Awareness, here’s a situation that is too much of a good thing, literally. Look up Calif. State Law SB-239. It basically decriminalizes any person who knowingly has AIDS and intentionally passes the virus on to infect an innocent but willing participant from a felony to now basically a misdemeanor similar to a moving violation. Why? The hyper-liberal Assembly and governor did not want to send an offensive message to gay folk in the state making it worse for the fact that they already have to live with HIV. AIDS is still a death sentence in more parts of the world than not. Even here, what about intentionally infecting a migrant who is already paranoid about making his/her presence known much less seeking medical help? This “playwright” is yet another privileged person who DECIDED to dabble in an alternative LIFESTYLE and got bitten. Injuries and death from car accidents and fires happen all the time. Yet this person made DECISIONS on his own and got caught. To quote the second half of an old gay slogan, “…get used to it!” Me saying this? Sh_t no! I’ve been backed by the state of California. Just because you think you are a member of some exclusive group does not exonerate you from making bad choices in the first place. The key word here is CHOICE.
