A gigantic pink condom adorns an obelisk in Sydney next week for gay and lesbian parades. The pink fabric condom is 18 meters long and has been covered by the Hyde Park Obelisk, as reported by Australian broadcaster ABC. It is intended to remind revelers to practice safe sex to protect themselves from sexually transmitted diseases. According to the information provided, the organization ACON, (AIDS http://www.acon.org.au/), which inter alia advocates for AIDS prevention, has erected the 22 meter high sandstone monument on the Friday evening with the giant condom veiled.

Gay and lesbian parade in Sydney
The action in Sydney is said to be the first time around World AIDS Day 2014. Next Sunday, March 5, lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgender people will be present at the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade Pulling Intersexuals (LGBTI) through the Australian metropolis. At the same time, many events will take place at a festival. For the first time, the parade took place in 1978, at a time when homosexual acts were still punishable there.

Protection against sexually transmitted diseases
The importance of protection against sexually transmitted diseases becomes clear when you realize that several of them are not curable and can be fatal. In Germany, health experts warned in the past months of a disease that was almost forgotten: According to this, syphilis is spreading rapidly in Germany. Dangerous here is also that the infectious disease usually causes no complaints at the beginning and therefore often diagnosed very late. In addition, there are again more HIV infections through reckless sex, as health experts warned. Gigantic pink condoms or other conspicuous statements that encourage better protection can not be enough. (Ad)
