And "banning" performers that do cross-over is discriminatory. I bet you some lawyer would have a field day if a performer was told "you can't work with us because you have gay sex".

I know it's not easy, doing the right thing never is.
There will always be a risk, but why up the risks dramatically by allowing IV drug users and cross over performers into the talent pool?
Who cares if it's discriminatory? Just don't hire them. If you know they are risk, why even consider them for the job?
You guys are honestly just begging for it. What the industry is basically saying is...
- We don't want to take any personal responsibility for our actions
- We can't discriminate against cross over performers
- We don't want condoms
- IV drug users are ok
- Buuuuuuuuut, we don't want the government to interfere with our business
As I said before, kudos to Dan for doing what he is doing. And kudos to those who actually take personal responsibility for what they are doing, like Robbie. Anyone else who is waiting for others to fix the problem, is part of the problem. Each and every person in the business can start right now by refusing to hire or work with those from higher risk groups. That would be a great place to start.
