L.A. gays prefer crystal

Crystal methamphetamine, that is.

The LOS ANGELES TIMES reports ...

"Nearly one in three gay and bisexual men who tested positive for HIV at a major Los Angeles clinic last year acknowledged using crystal methamphetamine, an illegal drug that increases sexual risk taking, according to a new study."

"Meth increases arousal and reduces inhibitions, often prompting users to seek sex with multiple partners, heightening the risk of contracting HIV, experts said."

L.A. Catholics may want to skip the so-called "wine line" the next time they go to Mass. Who knows what else they will receive when they take a sip of the Precious Blood from the ubiquitous "crystal" goblet?
