ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan health officials are using HIV surveillance technologies to assist in enforcing a "health threat" law that makes it illegal for HIV-positive people to have sex without disclosing their status.

A new University of Michigan study reveals that health officials employ the state's names reporting database, alongside partner services referrals, for law enforcement purposes. However, this is bad social policy for a variety of reasons, said Trevor Hoppe, the study's author and a doctoral candidate in sociology and women's studies.

PARIS — The French government has presented its plan to legalize same-sex marriage and adoption to Parliament for debate.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Gay rights groups and their allies quickly praised President Barack Obama for including LGBT families in his proposal for overhauling the nation’s outdated immigration policy.

In a televised speech on Tuesday, the President declared immigration legislation was one of his Administration’s top domestic priorities and he urged Congress to take action.

“Now is the time,” Obama told an audience at a local high school where most of the students are of Hispanic origin. “Si, se puedo,” some students chanted back, indicating that they believed an overhaul is possible.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — "That's so gay" is a popular expression on campuses nationwide among heterosexual students, especially young men. But why do they say it? A new University of Michigan study sheds light on this question.

"That's so gay," although not necessarily said to harm lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) students, can create a hostile environment, U-M researchers say. Inherent in this saying — frequently used to declare something, some behavior or someone as "stupid" or "uncool" — is the assumption that being gay is inferior and that being heterosexual is desirable.
