we're wrapping up our discussion on issues facing lgbt communities across the bay area.nd, reggie, i want to start with you because you recently did a story about a pill, a drug that can help prevent people from getting h.i.v. >> yeah, i'm not sure that a lot of people outside of the lgbt community knows about prep. and prep is really important. it's been a game changer in the gay community. and it's pre-exposure prophylaxis. so, this is the first time that someone can take a pill every day, and it's designed to prevent h.i.v. it's been shown to be very reliable. there are ranges of percentages, but it's at least 90% effective in preventing h.i.v. some studies have shown that it's actually closer to 99%. >> that's fantastic. >> but in any case, we don't have a cure, but it's the closest we have ever been to effectively prevent h.i.v. the message has been condoms for a lot of years. condoms have not been an effective way to prevent h.i.v. generally. >> now, there is a downside, though, because if you're not using any kind of protection, there's a rise in another problem.

and it's quite an extraordinary line up of films dealing with the lgbt experience. we have 147 films this year. it runs in san francisco, in berkley, in oakland spanning, you know, 11 days between june 15 and june 25 this year. and you know, it's become truly an international festival. i think we have 19 countries represented this year. filmmakers, and distributors, and film presenters from all over the world come to the festival because we present what we think of as the cutting edge lineup of films that explore now the growing diversity of the lgbt experience. robert: i think a lot of times when you see successful film festivals too, the early years, they are relatively unknown because the target audience is sort the community itself. when it starts to get successful, when it starts to become more aware, people become more aware of it is because it starts reaching out and hitting communities outside that core audience that it started with, huh? and that's what's happening now. peter: for sure. i mean, we welcome something like 65,000 attendees every year and acros

we know they are a party which opposes birdie—mac and that we know they are a party which opposes lgbtge influence over government. people watching will wonder why brexit is such an important issue in the coming months that sinn fein has done so well in elections that it is happy to sit in the northern ireland power—sharing agreement, why its mps will not take their seats, even in this election were actually they could have quite a lot of influence at westminster at a time when that could affect things. it is simply because sinn fein as a republican party have a long—standing abstention is policy. it is not something i understand or necessarily agree with. gerry adams was asked several times in the last couple of days, now you have increased your representation, why, and he has ruled it out. 0n sinn fein, i think one thing is significant. there is no power—sharing executive and there has not been for some time in northern ireland. it broke down for reasons we do not need to go into right now. the british government in whatever talk school in whatever talks go on now after the election.
