Equal Opportuinty for the Disabled
So ive been in Hobart the last few days. Each day we get a local newspaper delivered to our door so of course ive been reading it to catch up on some local news.
Was an interesting article on the front page of todays paper titled “Sex Trips: Public servants escort disabled to brothels”.
From the article:
“Intellectually disabled men are being taken on organised trips to Hobart brothels by heath workers. Under official guidelines, Department of Health and Human Services workers have official permission to arrange visits to sex workers for their clients”
Not sure how i feel about this issue. Struck me as kinda funny being pasted on the front page of the local Hobart newspaper, but i guess it all comes down to equal opportunity for the disabled. *shrugs*
Through the wonder of the internet, the article is actually online 
So go here and read for yourself, and post your comments below so my blog looks cool with lots of comments

why do they use the term “disabled”? isn’t there some sort of politically correct term?? be nice, be kind… call it DIFFERENTLY ABLED??
I have no problem with this at all. Seems to me to be one of the most humane pieces of legislature. If the goal is for people of disability to be as close to first class citizens as possible then why shouldn’t they be given this opportunity.
As for it being payed for with our tax money, well…. at least its not business oriented.
In short, I am ok with it.
