I wonder when did Weinstein change his mind when it comes to porn and condoms. And why did he decide that spending millions on lawyers, lobbyists, TV ads, pollsters, ballot signers was better than treating a few more people infected with HIV. That is exactly what AHF does...
12 years ago he was perfectly fine with not getting involved in the issue... He actually deferred to Mitchell and AIM to handle the issue. See below.
He's now spent tens of millions of dollars trying to impose condoms into porn... two California legislative bills (defeated), a LA County Ballot Measure (approved but dead), a CalOSHA regulation to amend 5193 to include porn (defeated) and now Prop 60...
12 years ago Michael Weinstein could careless about the HIV and porn or condoms for that matter. He attended a California Assembly Subcommittee meeting titled “Worker Health and Safety in the Adult Film Industry.” This is the actual summary of his testimony from the meeting;
“Mr. Weinstein made the point that there are thousands of HIV infections occurring all over the country and the world and yet the media and Legislature are now focused on the handful of infections that have recently occurred in the porn industry. He also stated that AIM may be best suited to deliver HIV testing and prevention services to the porn community rather than other HIV related organizations like AIDS Healthcare Foundation.”

Could it be because he saw how much the media would focus on AHF and HIV if they themselves made "condoms in porn" their issue ?
