"It's a Sin", a very good-looking British drama, with top-level acting, soundtrack, and plot.
The theme of this play is the story of the AIDS-infected gay community in London in the 1980s. I saw a lot of barrages and comments saying "clean yourselves", ah, sorry, I went astray.
In the West, the prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases (STI/STD) and AIDS (HIV/AIDS) has moved from "cleaning oneself" to "decriminalization/decriminalization". What is "decriminalization/decriminalization"? That is to say, the spread of the virus is only the spread of the virus, and it has nothing to do with the behavior of people themselves.
To give a simple example, Colin is used in the film to prove this: he is not a "sexual promiscuous person" and "cleans himself", but he was infected with a virus, and he ended up with the most tragic brain infection. way gone. This tells us: Anyone can be infected with HIV, regardless of their own behavior.
Now internationally recognized prevention and publicity measures are: 1, regular monitoring; 2, safe sex. There is no "self-cleaning".
Here to say more, HIV/AIDS is a kind of STI/STD. In addition to HIV/AIDS, other STI/STD can be cured. The reason why regular monitoring is advocated is because after monitoring, timely treatment can be achieved; and HIV/AIDS has also become a chronic disease, which can be controlled after regular treatment.
Let's talk about the issue of "sexual disorder".
What we want to get rid of is the notion that it is immoral to have sex with many people.
I wrote an article about the Chengdu MC Bathhouse before, and it was picked up on the Internet to attract a scolding. In fact, my understanding is that regardless of legal factors, how many people to have sex with and how many bathrooms to go to are all a matter of choice.
Just like in the play, the beautiful Richie is merciful and squirting everywhere, there is no problem; similarly, the dull Colin only likes one person in his life, there is no problem.
It's just a different way of life.
Just like some people like to eat salty and some like to eat light.
However, people who like to eat salty are prone to high blood pressure. Well, if you have high blood pressure, you can control it. High blood pressure itself also has genetic factors, and you can't use the shame of "who told you to eat salty food, look, you should have high blood pressure" on others.
Speaking of this drama, the title of the drama "It's a Sin" actually means this, using irony to tell the audience that it's not a sin.
"It's a sin" is also a song by the popular Pet Shop Boys in the gay community. The lyrics are written like this:
When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
This condemns the huge social prejudice against LGBT people/people living with HIV, causing a lot of people to feel like "I'm gay, this makes me feel guilty for whatever I do" "It's my sin to have the virus."
At the end of the film, the little angel Jill had a conversation with his mother after the death of the protagonist Ritchie:
This part is very touching, I like Jill so much.
So, when we say "be clean," we actually mean:
Many people will also think, "I don't have sex anyway, I think this is a sin!" In fact, it is not desirable. This passage from Jill and Ritchie's mother is to tell us: This sense of shame you give other people will damage the whole society, and in the end, it will eat back at yourself and the people you love.
Finally, I wish everyone can find their own way of life, not be ashamed of anyone or anything, and live a free life.
