- Don''t you religious zealots know the actual reason that HIV spreads faster in the gay community? It has nothing to do with being unholy or abominable. It''s not because they''re doing "weird" and unimaginable things behind closed doors. (Ok, some people might be doing unimaginable things behind closed doors but the same applies for some heterosexual couples too.) It''s a simple biological fact. The skin around the "back end" is much more delicate and prone to minute "tears" than around the vaginal area. This leaves more opportunity for virus transmission...end of story. No holy punishments, no wrath of god, nothing of that sort. Stop thumping your bibles so hard and read a science book or two.

- That would work great if we didn''''t allow people in or out of the country like Cuba. If you read up on the beginning of the AIDs epidemic, where it mainly started in San Fran, there was one guy in the late 70s who was infected and went to New York to party. ONE guy spread AIDs from West to East coast. Crazy.

60 Minutes also did a show on this G`ay airline pilot who infected over 130 people and still refused to have protected s`ex after the show aired, claimed he would not change his life style! Being an airline pilot allowed him to infect people all over! I don`t know what happened to the guy but someone like that should have been locked up in prison and the key should have been thrown away! This was a while ago, I`m sure nothing like that would be tolerated now, I think he was Canadian. It`s been reported that many people with HIV/AIDS are so angry that they have it, they intentionally have unprotected s`ex with the sole purpose on infecting as many others as they can, there are a lot of sick puppies out there! - Reply to this comment
- As Julia Sugarbaker said on Designing Women.....get real .."if God were handing down sexually transmitted diseases as punishment for sin, You''d be at the free clinic all the time. We all would." Only the self rightous, IGNORANT folks in the world still actually believe gay folks are the root cause (and continued cause) of hiv/aids....and sadly, as is evidenced by many previous posts here, there are plenty of IGNORANT folks still spewing hate, wrapping it up in The bible tells me so.....The bible, for all you ignorant folks, also says....hate the sin, not the sinner as well as do not judge, lest you yourself be judged. If you are going to use the bible as a defense for your hatred, don''t be so stupid to think you can simply edit out the parts you choose to for your own biased hateful opinions.

- Our left winged parties here in ''Australia advertise in homosexual magazines that they will help their cause when they get into power, and many in the left winged parties including left wing politicians are homosexuals.
I wish that I had kept this magazine but it was so disgusting and horrific that I threw it out. It made me depressed for a long time. They said that they intended to get more of their kind in high places, in the police, politic''s, judges etc...especially judges, they were going to get into ministers of religion and the people as much as they could..
Homosexuality is NOT excepted in all the religions in the world, including the bible, perhaps disease is one of the reasons. Our laws have come about through centures of experience and logic. So dont blame churches, they have been forced to not discriminate and are sued if they do.. we are now reaping the consequences, and because of this many more millions will die. - Reply to this comment
- andrew_693 about 30 years ago I was sent an article on what homosexuals intended to do and how they were going to spread their filth.
I think it was from a gay convention that they had at the time. They said that they were going to get into churches, boys brigades/clubs, schools, or anywhere that they could get at children, and do their thing.. Plus they said that they would get into TV shows saying that it was discrimination if we didnt give them parts, and insist on having top parts where they would be displayed as lovely, kind, loving people. They said that they were going to make the hetrosexuals the odd ones out... - Reply to this comment
- Perhaps your neighbors are living a lifestyle they really can''''''''t afford. If some had chosen homes that cost less, perhaps they could have set aside money for emergencies and things such as a loss of a job. Doctor visits cost money and responsible people set aside money for medical needs. People must become more self-sufficient and gain the skills that employers need.

And if they run out of money before finding another job, what''''s the excuse? Didn''''t do "enough"?
Ever hear the phrase "Sometimes you can do everything right, and still end up wrong"? It happens.
Never mind ''''setting money aside for medical visits''''. Look at the basic cost of living and what''''s left TO save combined with an outpatient visit to the ER.
Are you a comedian? For some reason, I cannot stop laughing. Not laughing in a good way, which only goes to show you''''re not a very good comedian...

- "I have read that homosexuality is addictive" Posted by Gaye5

I suppose it is possible that homosexuality is addictive; however, heterosexuals can also be s*e*x addicts. I don''t believe anyone chooses to become homosexual. I do believe homosexual might very well be genetic. I don''t believe anyone becomes "cured" and gives up the lifestyle. - Reply to this comment
- "I wonder why after these horrible facts homosexuality is still allowed?"
In stead there should be a law prohibiting the incredibly dimwitted from passing on their genes......though this would likewise be impossible to enforce. - Reply to this comment
- barbaraf4, I have read that homosexuality is addictive and I think that if people knew what homosexuals do, many people would be so horrified that they would not go into it in the first place. But once they are told that they are quite normal, and that they can''t help it, that they were born like that, they go with it.
People need to wise up to the horrific, sick things that homosexuals do to each other instead of sticking the heads in the sand thinking that it doesnt effect them.
People say that whatever they do behind closed doors is their business, but if someone shoots someone behind closed doors isnt it everyones business, well these guys are shooting people with HIV and diseases behind closed doors or in their orgies.. and then the bisexuals are passing these many diseases and the new emerging diseases onto us.. yep it is all behind closed doors.. and we dont see until it is to late..
Many homosexuals are coming out of homosexuality and leading normal lives.. a few struggle with it but most are just happy to be normal... - Reply to this comment

It already is. Where do you think they get all those statistics? Everytime you have routine (or not so routine) blood test performed, your blood is tested for AIDS/HIV and results sent off to whatever government agency is keeping those statistics. - Reply to this comment
- hypnotoad72, you said....But with today''''s acceptance of 55 hour marriages, children born out of wedlock, et cetera, this alien concept of "honor" you speak makes no sense. :(
I say, that with the increase in sexual disease, and emerging diseases from the homosexual life style, or dare I say anyone who has anal se,x surely this is enough for you to see that, being honorable to your wife even before you have met her makes more sense than anything..
Surely with what we know now, one has to be a fool to want to play round, and if they are a fool and do play around then except the consequences..
Although many of us already knew children born out of marriage or come from broken marriages, suffer, and the massive effects of this is only now becoming apparent,, perhaps the old laws of marriage were for a reason eh...and not just to spoil your fun. - Reply to this comment
- I wonder why after these horrible facts homosexuality is still allowed? Some may contend that it is freedom. Let me ask, what kind of freedom should we allow that consumes the nation''''s youth in that terrifying way? Most of the infected are below 30 years old. What do we expect? If this rate continues like this, we will wake up one morning finding all streets full of gray hair and end is inevitable.

Well it''s allowed so people like you can come out of the closet sooner or later. Why not ban the military, since there are a lot of fa...g..s in there also. Oh I forgot, in times of war they don''t care as much about morality. Hypocrites!! - Reply to this comment
- the republican party once again, is more infected than we previously knew. As the years go by and more and more of these closet christian fa...ots come out, the more we will know that this party once again is undermining the health of our economy and apple pie values. Not to mention, the number of pedophile christian camps are also on the rise, places where a self proclaimed prophet weds a 13 years old and than locks himself up with the bible and a lot of mentally sick ignorant people with guns to resist the impending arrest. On other news, the boy scouts should also be banned since it''s a magnet for pedophiles along with the catholic clergy, another nest of fa...ots. The party of Ted Haggard, child boy molester Mark Foley, the bathroom man Larry Craig, the chairman of MacShame''s presidential campaign Bob Allen who bribed a cop to blow him, and the future: Glenn Murphy Jr a man who gave mouth to pen....s resuscitation after a party and got busted leads to only one conclusion.........the more they cry, ....the bigger the di....k they really want.

- A new variety of staph bacteria, highly resistant to antibiotics and possibly transmitted by sexual contact, is spreading among gay men in San Francisco, Boston, New York and Los Angeles, researchers reported Monday.
What is unusual in this case is the high percentage of infections - up to 40 percent - occurring in the buttocks and genitalia.
Homosexual men think that they are stuck in this lifestyle for ever, and the sad thing is that the media doesnt report that many thousands of homosexuals are coming out of homosexuality every year and leading normal lives. It appears that many men who are homosexuals have not either had good relationships with their fathers or dont have a father around at all, and are unconciously looking for that connection.. - Reply to this comment

Exactly how do you suggest enforcing a ban on homosexuality? You cannot begin to identify the closet homosexuals out there. They are the ones who bring AIDS home to their unsuspecting wives.
So again I ask, how do you prevent homosexual activity? - Reply to this comment
- AIDS-related virus spreads through kissing... Herpes virus 8 was discovered six years ago and causes a skin cancer called Kaposi''s sarcoma. In the United States, the cancer occurs almost exclusively in people with AIDS.
``The important thing is it suggests that oral-oral contact plays some role in transmission, although more study is needed to confirm that,'''' said Pauk.
The study also found that homosexual men who engaged in ``deep kissing'''' -- kissing that involves a lot of contact with saliva -- appeared to be at substantially higher risk of catching the virus. - Reply to this comment

- spadeisspade, you said that In Cuba people discovered to have AIDS or HIV are separated from the rest of the population for the rest of their lives so they don`t infect others.
It sounds cruel but I feel that it is the only way to slow the spread of the disease. Many of these people go out and deliberately infect others. It is a disease that cant be detected for a long time and all that time they are spreading it..
Oh well, I supose it is keeping the population down.
They say that it started with homosexuals and then spread to hetrosexuals through needles and bysexuals, well there is now 8 new bad viruses/diseases which have also spread to the hetrosexuals.. - Reply to this comment
- Good gracious, the article says that the number of cases is worse than expected not because of increased numbers but because of new blood tests which shows that there are more there than they knew. But this means that as these people didn''t know that they had the disease that they would be out there spreading the disease. hmmmm. This is a self inflicted disease, yet trillions is spent on it, when this money could go on diseases which are not self inflicted. The answer to aids and sexually transmitted diseases is simple, DON%u2019T HAVE *** OUTSIDE MARRIAGE. and if people say that this is unrealistic in this day and age, then it is their choice, most people did their best to not have *** outside marriage years ago so why not now when there is such a deadly disease around.
