The headline alone makes me cringe, and then I read on and discover it isn't warranted. First read the article:

I do understand the need to vaccinate those who might be exposed to the HPV virus, but it seems likely that is everyone. Any oral sex or unprotected sex is a good way to spread this around. But think of the stigma if it becomes known a boy has the innoculation.

In these days of bullying and parental abuse of gay chldren I can't imagine this will make anything better. I would vote to have all children given the vaccine if it is that critical. But to blast such a headline is pure crap. Just think back to the days when HIV was the gay disease, that is far from the case by now.
