You can prevent all this so why don't you?

The fact is, hepatitis is a very big deal. And men who have sex with men are at greater risk for hepatitis A and B. That's why the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association (GLMA), as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), recommends you get vaccinated to prevent these 2 serious diseases.

PROTECT YOURSELF! See your doctor about vaccination today. For referral to a gay-friendly physician near you, call GLMA at 1-877-LGBTDOC or visit our Web site at www.glma.org/hepatitis This program is supported by a grant from SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals.

"Stonewall really started as a bar brawl that got out of hand, and many participants were drunk or drugged out," Jean Paul said. He believed the Mafia-run bar had shorted the police of protection money, leading to the crackdown. It was the fifth gay club to be busted in as many weeks, so the patrons were ready to fight back. As police arrested the more flamboyant drag queens, those who had been told to leave formed an angry mob outside, taunt- ing police and throwing coins and bottles. Windows were smashed, and at one point the cops found themselves under siege inside the bar. Reinforcements arrived and cleared the streets that night but the vio- lence resumed the next day. Jean Paul said that as word spread that the "faggots" had stood up to the cops, there was a spontaneous outpouring of people into Christopher Street and Sheridan Square, across from the Stonewall Inn. Gays were joined by butch dykes, hippies, leftist radicals, even some Black Panthers. By nightfall, almost 1,000 people had gathered and soon the police arrived in full riot gear.
