Seriously though, a sad but very true story.

H is a gay friend of mine, a wonderful person. He is funny as fuck, a bottom whore, and when he gets drunk abrasive.

One night while wandering home from a gay bar, he got jumped by 6 other gays who raped him, and gave him AIDS. He went to the police, and sadly, they did nothing.

Out of curiosity- how long ago?

The injustices of the past have improved through awareness… if I was to guess, I’d say around the mid 80s to early 90s (?). I hope this is a historic story and not a modern day

One segment that has been brutalized (due to its illegal status) are prostitutes. They can be robbed, beaten, raped and killed … rarely do police involve themselves on their behalf.

I do want to protect H. I was about 20+ years ago.

It is very real, he is a close friend and his story is tragic.

I must assume that the cops could not grasp gay-on-gay gang rape. They just dismissed it.

Sickening. Absolutely a sickening non-response and callous disregard for another human being.

I hope this person has healed (obviously with a scar - speaking metaphorically) and has been on meds for HIV.

It’s been illegal for quite some time in Canada to have a sexual interaction (let alone the crime of rape) and not inform the partner of HIV status.

In 1998 the Supreme Court of Canada made a legal ruling that people must disclose their HIV status before having sex. This applied to sex that posed a “significant risk of serious bodily harm”

Women are just as capable of being “evil” (without empathy; abusive to another) as men. Men have been coming out of the closet regarding sexual abuse (from both men and women) for decades now. The responses some people give to excuse male rape victims is no different then the excuses some people gave/give to female rape victims (she was dressed provocatively; drunk; should have “known” better; alone, etc).

The fact that men are sharing their stories should create more support systems, awareness and empathy.

Yup, true.

@Whitefire13

But again, “fighting for a right” is different than bringing certain male issues to light and helping create emotional/mental support, and healing systems.

The name is generally mainly just to encompass the whole thing, but isn’t it a right for male issues to be talked about and acknowledged without being brought down or downplayed? Isn’t it a human right to have support systems?

@Whitefire13

HOWEVER given that you are a pregnant 18 year old that will (in less than a year) be focused on childcare and financial support (work) and household management (cleaning, cooking, laundry, bills) - I doubt you will ever be in a position to effect real change in a specific area of need.

You don’t think I can do 2 things at a time? Well, not at the same exact time, considering that your brain can actually only focus on one thing at a time, but you get my point. I’ve met both female and male (and nonbinary ones, too) MRAs or pro-MRAs who are juggling being a parent, having a job, and being an MRA or pro-MRA all at the same time. It’s not impossible.

That’s horrible.
