Here we go again
Toronto City Councilor Rob Ford is objecting to funding for AIDS groups, leading to this quote:
"If you're not doing needles and you're not gay, you won't get AIDS, probably. That's the bottom line -- and that's preventable."
Being gay is preventable? Is that also why he objected last year to the city giving funds to the LGBT Youthline (all $3000 out of whatever large amount Toronto's budget is).
Not to mention the obvious points that AIDS is not just a gay or drug user disease, of course this is also the councilor who said that spending money on anti-racism and youth initiatives was wasteful.
(All of the funding did pass without his vote anyway)
