Boston: the Athens of America. The possibilities for low "culture" are endless. We recently picked up a copy of Improper Bostonian, a weekly entertainment magazine. There's a sizable "Gay & Lesbian" section in the listings pages. This is what "diversity" has opened the door to. Cringe at any of these, and you're labelled "homophobe".
The sad note in this list is sounded near the end, where after all the FUN FUN FUN, you come to the "POZ" (HIV positive) listings: support groups for "newly diagnosed" (HIV positive), and various other groupings of POZ males.
Here are just a few of the groups:
BAGLY: Boston Alliance of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Youth. [MassResistance has written before about this sick venue. Headed by a male-to-female transsexual, and endorsed by the Governor's Commission on Gay & Lesbian Youth.]
Bi Rap: Discussion group open to all bisexual, bi-friendly and questioning women.
Boston GLASS Community Center: "Provides social activities for questioning young people ages 13-25."
[Note from MassResistance: It's places like this where our young teen males encounter older HIV-positive males, so that by the time they're in their mid-20s, they will be ready for the POZ 20's group, below.]
Boston Lesbian Avengers: "Bi- and transsexual-friendly, direct-action political group focuesses on issues affecting lesbians."
Bisexual Resource Center: Coming out as a bisexual.
Compass: "For people assigned female at birth who feel that it is not an accurate or complete description of their gender. Part of the Female-to-Male Center."
Gender Crash: "Intersection of Boston's Queer, Transgender, and Gender Queer Communities"
Newly Diagnosed Group: "Supports gay and bisexual men who have been diagnosed with HIV during the last two years."
POZ Social. Raffles, food, and drinks for people affected by HIV/AIDS.
POZ 20s. For HIV-positive gay and bisexual men in their 20s.
POZ 30s Plus.
Tiffany Club of New England: Transgendered community.
