"The National Institutes of Health is spending over $1.1 million creating a mobile app to connect transwomen and a "sex-positive" app that creates "hooking up simulations" for black gay teenagers."
The sex-positive movement is a social movement that promotes and embraces sexuality and sexual expression, with an emphasis on safe and consensual sex.
Nothing wrong with that, but the legal age of consent in the United States varies between the ages of 16-18, and this app is targeting black men ages 14 to 17 who have sex with men.
Is my interpretation correct?
(YBMSM) stands for young black men who have sex with men. They’re saying that (YBMSM) in the United States are being disproportionately affected by HIV and AIDS because they typically have their first sexual encounter at the early ages (13-14), and often rely on older partners, the Internet, and porn for education.
Are we funding a program that's promoting sex with minors or am I reading this wrong?
