In a quiet move, Bush has shown how far his head is up his ass. As we all know, the christian right believes that the only people that should have sex are hetero-, married couples (and of course, only for procreation.)
Further attempting to create a fundamentalist, facist nation, BushCo has swung the big stick of funding and revised CDC policy which specifies that:
These new regs require the censoring of any "content" -- including "pamphlets, brochures, fliers, curricula," "audiovisual materials" and "pictorials (for example, posters and similar educational materials using photographs, slides, drawings or paintings)," as well as "advertising" and Web-based info. They require all such "content" to eliminate anything even vaguely "sexually suggestive" or "obscene" -- like teaching how to use a condom correctly by putting it on a dildo, or even a cucumber. And they demand that all such materials include information on the "lack of effectiveness of condom use" in preventing the spread of HIV and other STDs -- in other words, the Bush administration wants AIDS fighters to tell people: Condoms don't work. This demented exigency flies in the face of every competent medical body's judgment that, in the absence of an HIV-preventing vaccine, the condom is the single most effective tool available to protect
This is yet ANOTHER reason among the vast many that Bush and the fundamentalist neo-cons are the most dangerous group of men to ever hijack this country. The damage they are doing is far reaching - much beyond the international and environmental damage they so witlessly sell is not enough; they need to extract a human toll on those they consider immoral.
Last I checked, only God (whichever you chose to pay homage to) is supposed to pass final judgement. Here on Earth, we are suppose to accept and forgive.
