SEX Universal HPV Vaccination, Please

Posted by Dan Savage on Fri, Oct 28, 2011 at 10:29 AM

This just in:

A vaccine against the sexually transmitted disease HPV, which can cause cervical cancer in women, has also been shown to prevent most anal cancers in gay men, an international study said Wednesday. Men who were vaccinated against human papillomavirus developed 75 percent fewer anal lesions that lead to cancer than their counterparts who were given a placebo, said the study in The New England Journal of Medicine. The findings were released one day after a US advisory panel urged the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to recommend routine vaccinations for boys age 11-12 against HPV.

But Tony Perkins thinks the HPV vaccine sends the wrong message. The right message? Die, buttfuckers.
