Unprotected "Research"

An Australian politician admitted to visiting a gay sex club in Melbourne for "research" purposes, garnering the praise of senior provincial legislators.

Bruce Atkinson (pictured), an MP from the Liberal party, said he went to the club because he was concerned about the spread of HIV.

Said Atkinson, "You have 30 or 40 men who were engaged in all sorts of sexual acts and it was dark and they couldn't possibly tell who they were involved with."

Even so, I doubt Atkinson would have gotten much action (supposing - as we do - that he were so inclined).

If only Ted Haggard had thought of this angle. Instead of being ousted from his pulpit for sodomy and drug use, he might have been hailed for his "outreach" efforts...
