you are a gay male prostitute! 
alright, they are not going to make babies, so it's not for contraception.
and anything to stop the spread of disease is good.
but i find it supreme irony that guys who wear dresses and bugger altar boys will OK condom use.
i suppose when the church recognizes gay hookers it's a start to recognizing the REAL world outside the Vatican. but what about female hookers? they spread disease too.
Boston Herald:
Pope Benedict XVI’s bombshell declaration condoning condoms for gay prostitutes to prevent HIV sparked a fierce debate yesterday among Catholics and worries that the pontiff put the church on a slippery slope.
“The pope has suddenly created an exception,’’ said Peter Borre, 72, a Boston Catholic activist. “So the question is going to come up: What about an exception for abortion, an exception on homosexuality?’’
Benedict, in comments published in a book by a German journalist due out Tuesday, said that for male prostitutes — for whom contraception isn’t the central issue — condoms are not a moral solution. But he said they could be justified to reduce the risk of infection.
“There may be a basis in the case of some individuals, as perhaps when a male prostitute uses a condom, where this can be a first step in the direction of a moralization, a first assumption of responsibility,” Benedict said.
He called it “a first step in a movement toward a different way, a more human way of living sexuality.”
Church teaching opposes artificial contraception, although there is no policy on condoms and HIV.
C.J. Doyle, executive director of the conservative Catholic Action League, was in shock over Benedict’s reported statements and said he’ll seek a clarification.
“The Catholic Church has always and everywhere opposed every form of contraception and continues to do so and there is no evidence that has changed,” Doyle said. “It’s not a change in Church doctrine.”
