I am not sure if anyone but me watches this show on HBO but if you can watch the last episode (the March 3rd one). Part of the segment regards a Puerto Rican immigrant in NYC (this is where the show takes place) that gets a job holding a traffic sign on a work crew that tells drivers whether to stop or slow on a particular street. He speaks very little English. At any rate on certain days he runs across the street to a bodega in order to buy coffee. During the show he begins to flirt (and be flirted with) with the guy who sells the coffee. It continues from there. It is really cute.

It is an extremely sad and powerful documentary. I thought that the maker of the documentary handled the subject and was able to interview the two boys (now men) in a very tactful way. Both the documentary and the Oprah program that followed were extremely informative about Jackson's method of seduction of both the boys and their parents/families. It made me much more understanding about how a victim gets sucked into offering himself little by little to the pedophile and also why the victim fails for so long to reveal what is or has gone on. I found it very sickening and (I hate to say this) fascinating. I also found the difference in the reactions of the mothers when they do find out what was done to their children to be interesting. I found that one was extremely remorseful that she disregarded the obvious signs that her child was being abused and understood that her son's life was ruined because of her (willful?) disregard. On the other hand the second mother seemed not to be able to even get to a place where she could fathom that she had a very real part in the traumatization of her son. Watch it if you get a chance and watch the Oprah piece that follows.

I don't know if Oliver put this in this section also but here it is now:

Looks great. Thanks.

He is welcome to it.

I will take Casey Gavin without a doubt. I mean he's nearly naked anyway.

I'd give two applause if I could.

The passing on of HIV is a crime in only some states and the same is true regarding STD situations. Here are very useful charts that delineate which states have criminalized what. It has been updated to 2018 and was compiled by the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention. https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/policies/law/states/exposure.html

Well, Blue and White and Hot . . .

That bottom really knows what he's doing.

Tristan Paris, yummm!
