I caught the end of a movie called "The Gift" on the dish last night. It was sandwiched between "The Fluffer" and "Crash" and just down from "Short Eyes". All sad (and protected) films.

The Gift was about HIV negative men complaining that they weren't positive like their dying lovers. I couldn't turn it off, it was so disturbing. These men were crying that they didn't have the disease. Yea, crying.

They showed a section on "parties" where hundreds of men get together and have unprotected sex even knowing that half of them are infected.

Make no mistake, this was a pro-homosexual film, made for and by gay film makers. By the end, the men on the film were trying to figure out how to spread the message that the gay community has to do something.

They talked about the drugs (at ~$12K per year) which cause as many problems as they fix (cardiac arrest being a principal symptom).

Finally, they showed some startling statistics that half the gay black male population will be HIV positive soon. 1/3 of all gay men are positive now. And soon, over half will have strains which are immune to current drugs.

The most revealing statement was when the gay men trying to figure out how to fight the disease said that hetero men do better in making the point to homosexuals. One young man in particular said he was deadly afraid of hepatitis because it told him what he couldn't do after getting it (no booze, no drugs, no sex, etc.). Yet, the AIDs ads all said you could live a "normal" life with drugs.

The most vile hater of homosexuality couldn't do to these men and their community what they did to themselves. As sad as it sounds, if the statistics are right, the problem will take care of itself in not very many years.

It is hard to watch humans suffer.

I agree. But when humans go out of their way to commit suicide, no matter what anyone says or does, what can be done?

And I can't help but feel angry when these same homosexuals recruit, proselytize, seduce, and molest young people into their "deathstyle".

I've never seen the movie and would imagine it's difficult for a compassionate person to watch. Here's some links on the subject:

You're my nominee for post of the month. You are absolutely right -- what the politicized, Leftist homosexual agitators did to their own, back in the early 80's when they were fighting off the attentions of the national health apparatus, absolutely beggars any attempt to describe their irresponsibility and their politically-driven, emotionally-charged purblindness.
