Stigma & Prejudice...

Occasionally, I read articles telling me the HIV stigma is over.  That's BS & everyone know's it.   It doesn't matter how much info is out there, some people just get off on being jerks & fear-mongers.  

This article details the events of a recently diagnosed, + man being forced out of a city league sports team.  Read the article, it's pretty direct.  A city rep asked the man's HIV status & when it was clear the man was +, the city representative removed him from the team.

So much ADA protection.  So much for HIV scare being over.  So much for the open signs of discrimination against + people going away.

Apparently the city has made "corrections" & the man can be back on the team next year.  Too bad he was on a team that was going to playoffs & they booted him right before.   The person(s) responsible for booting this player should be fired immediately.  

Cya...
