It is near time that HIV+ heterosexuals are recognized as a minority, not in general society terms, but any local HIV group is 95-100% gay populated. I appreciate the gay activist movements in the 80s to make treatments better and less toxic, the gay community paved the way for heteros, transsexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, etc. However, I have been refused events ad help due to my sexual preference, not sure why these organizations even need to know my prefs, but usually part of the top 5 questions asked. I have even pretended to be gay to get the help I needed in the past which I could not when I said I was straight. Even ASOs (AIDS service orgs) that said they accept everyone, I was asked not to attend groups sessions as I would feel uncomfortable or may not be accepted as heterosexual males are often bashers and drunks/druggies.
