seeing this image on facebook.

the woman on the bottom? (in the award-winning photograph?) her name is maria. she's from the ukraine, which has the highest rates of hiv/aids in europe. she is a sex worker and intravenous drug user. when the photo was taken she was believed to be hiv- but i think since she has found out she is hiv+ (from what little i've read - not 100% sure). most people with aids in the ukraine die while waiting for access to treatment, and people there face much more stigma than even people in the us and canada.

if she lived in canada, she would be no more able to donate blood than the (presumably) monogamous, white, middle/upper class gay couple on the top. in canada and the u.s., if you have ever had sex for money, you cannot donate blood. she also has much less access to jobs, health care, money, and resources, and she faces at least as much if not more discrimination in her day to day life.

much of the comment thread on this ad talked about how disgusting maria is.

poor sex workers from eastern european countries are not props to be used in hateful ads for middle/upper class monogamous gay folks' campaigns for "equality." period. end of fucking story.

on top of that, the implied erasure of poor queer sex workers, who are sometimes intravenous drug users, who sometimes are also hiv+ (some of whom are my dear friends) pisses me the fuck off. at the very least this ad creates a "good/bad" dichotomy that further marginalizes sex workers, drug users, and people living with hiv, queer or not.

and on top of that, the entire premise is a lie.

Admiration for your post Aishah...are you a lawyer? Be a damn good one.
Yeah, you pick on one type of people...may as well be pickin on all of em.
So sad. So fallible human beings. So easy to judge. Walk a mile in their shoes first and see how it feels. I consider myself lucky. I am not afflicted with any of those problems in your post. But, God help those who are.
Thank you for you post

That is one of my pet peeves. I find it so rude and disrespectful. I hate it when people do that.

Sinks FULL of dirty dishes and the dishwasher was completely empty. Really folks, I can't wait for my new place to be done and I can move in.

I don't like destructive behaviors or red flags or physical and mental abuse...

I also don't like getting piss-poor edits from an anal think-she-knows-it-all coworker that completely messes up the formatting to a very difficult project that took COUNTLESS hours to create. I'd love to say back to her about her track changes "It AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN"... I'm the Policy Expert and Consultant... your requested, insisted upon edits obviously show your lack of knowledge...I don't give a rat's azz if your mother did beat you up over your grammatical use and punctuations... this is NOT a document that needs to be grammatically correct, it uses Acronyms for a reason...it's a "snap shot" billing matrix with billing codes... not a dang 200 page legal brief document.
