Gay Flirting Classes: Your AIDS-Prevention Dollars at Work

As AIDS activists converge on Washington to demand increases to the $13 billion per year the federal government spends on AIDS prevention (this total doesn't include the money spent on AIDS research and treatment), Citizens Against Government Waste has the audacity to suggest that some of the money could be better spent. They note, for example, that the Centers for Disease Control gives $1 million per year to a (where else?) San Francisco group that offers flirting classes, and workshops to teach gay men how to overcome the obstacle to anal sex posed by diarrhea.

Yep, that's what the Founding Fathers smacked down the British for, so that you could be forced by your government to coach people too randy to wait for the Immodium A-D to kick in.
