The gay community takes a turn for the better

In other cities, such as New York and San Francisco, people in gay communities argued over the best ways to protect themselves from AIDS without limiting some newly earned gay rights to be more open and sexual freedoms such as participating in bathhouse culture. The Northwest AIDS Foundation’s approach celebrated a successful response to living with/preventing the spread of AIDS from a unified community that included open discussions of sexual practices and how to best engage safely and responsibly.
