Sex Now Survey 2008
Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 10/15/2008 - 3:03pm.It's that time of year again - Sex Now 2008! As you may know Sex Now has been surveying gay and bi guys all over BC for quite a few years now and it's with your help that we've been able to make better programming and services for guys who are into guys all over the province.
The Sex Now Survey is a TOTALLY anonymous survey for gay and bi guys conducted by the Community Based Research Centre (CBRC) - a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health of gay and bi guys in BC's communities. This year we're asking about sexual styles, porn and the Internet.
We'd love it if you could take a second to complete the 2008 survey at www.sexnowsurvey.com. Your input gives us the information we need to make our communities more responsive to the lives of all gay and bi guys.

Queer Harm Reduction
Submitted by captain snowdon on Wed, 08/22/2007 - 12:39pm.Embracing harm reduction could revitalize queer politics
ACTIVISM / Pipe dreams & real lives
Shawn Syms / Capital Xtra / Thursday, August 16, 2007
We all take drugs. And all drugs pose risks: from medications prescribed by your doctor to that Smirnoff Ice at last call. But if you ask most people to describe the stereotypical drug user, it's rare for anyone to hold up a mirror.
A middle-aged gay man who snorts the occasional line of coke at a party may think he has little in common with a homeless woman turning tricks and smoking crack in an alley just a block away.
Still, in the face of a conservative social and political tide, more people are realizing that when it comes to drug use and sex work, we need to reduce the harms associated with these activities instead of trying to curtail them.
Whether it's the ongoing fight in Ottawa to maintain a crack-pipe distribution program, or the constitutional challenge intended to decriminalize the sex trade, a harm-reduction approach rejects the idea that prohibition is a useful way to approach sexuality or drug use. And at a time when queer politics don't have a clear rallying point — but rather a scatter of issues both local and national vying for our attention — we have much to learn from the lessons of harm reduction.
