Darren Chiacchia, openly gay, who, in 2004, helped the United States equestrian team earn an Olympic bronze medal in the eventing competition in Athens, Greece, was thrown from a horse in 2008, and while being treated after suffering several injuries, including a severe brain injury that has caused memory loss, he tested HIV positive. In January, he was arrested after a former partner accused him of exposing him to the HIV virus and in February, the 45 year old Chiacchia pled not guilty. A trail is scheduled to start in June, and if convicted, he will face up to thirty years in prison, Florida one of thirty-states that have a law which makes it a felony for individuals infected with HIV to have sexual intercourse without informing their partners of their status.
Adam Berski, 30 years old, is a former police officer for the Huntington Beach, California Police Department, who, in 2008, settled a discrimination lawsuit against the Department, the city settling for an estimated $2.15 million. Berski, who now lives in Costa Mesa, has written a book – Friendly Fire – that details the discrimination he endured during the years from 2006 to 2007 from fellow police officers. Huntington Beach Police Chief Ken Small, who was the chief when Berski was on the force, dismisses the book, saying that “based on the excerpts people have shown me ...this book definitely belongs in the fiction section.” Berski, however, says the book is factual, except for the names he changed for legal reason, saying “though California is viewed by much of the country as one of the more gay-friendly states in the union, the Huntington Beach Police Department seemingly occupies an island of its own, pinned in a period of time that runs prior to enlightenment,” writes Berksi, “the organization is well stocked with a wealth of good ol’ boys who may as well have a sign hanging from the door of their clubhouse reading, ‘No fags allowed.’”
