Hagerstown Herald-Mail in 2005, claiming that it was time to take the threat of HIV seriously.He suggested that people infected with the virus receive tattoos that would be “in a spot covered by a bathing suit,” in order to warn potential sex partners of the risk they are undertaking when being intimate with an infected person.“An effective way to enforce the consistency of the tattoo would be to provide medicine to the infected individual only after they have received the HIV tattoo,” Parrott wrote, while also arguing that the better solution to combating HIV is to promote abstinence outside of marriage, with abstinence-only education being pushed in schools.Presumably, given Parrott’s vocal opposition to legalizing marriage equality in 2011 and 2012, this would also mean that only heterosexual married people should be encouraged to engage in sex.Trone’s ad capitalizes on that letter to the editor, seeking to portray his Republican opponent as extreme, radical, and out-of-touch.“If Neil Parrott had his way, every HIV-positive American would have to be tattooed, including all 3.7 million infants and children,” a narrator says as pictures of children flash across the screen. “Parrott wrote an op-ed actually proposing to force HIV-positive men, women, and children to be tattooed — or withhold their medication.

 Hideous Bastard (★★★☆☆) features the letters of the album title sticking out of Sim’s grinning face.A devout horror fan who also collaborated on a three-part horror short, Sim leans into his preoccupation with ugliness and monstrosity, and the gruesome image neatly echoes Hideous Bastard‘s deliberate, artful lack of subtlety.From its opening lines, it’s clear Hideous Bastard is a deeply personal work for Sim, which may go some way towards explaining why his foray into solo work has come so long after his xx bandmates Romy Mady Croft and Jamie xx began pursuing their own projects.“Been living with HIV since 17,” he bluntly intones at the end of his album opener and lead single “Hideous,” immediately following the revelation by asking “Am I hideous?” Disclosing his HIV status while also openly reckoning with the attendant shame that has accompanied it throughout his adult life is a devastating one-two punch.While Sim never quite manages to recapture the brilliance and emotional heft of his opener, he remains focused on the intertwined feelings of fear and shame, and the way they weave themselves into our relationships and affect our expectations of the world and ourselves.He comes close to matching the stark, introspective honesty of the title track in his musings on the relationship between shame and queer love on “Fruit,” and in his admission in “Sensitive Child” of the fragility that holds him back from relationships.
