CNSNews.com) - A nationally syndicated columnist who is openly homosexual is offering what he calls "a truly radical step" to curb unsafe sex -- forcing HIV-positive homosexual men who knowingly or negligently spread the virus to be financially accountable to their affected sexual partners.
The idea is being panned by medical experts who work extensively with the homosexual community, but it has drawn praise from a spokesman for a leading conservative group in Washington, D.C., who not only called the establishment of HIV paternity a "useful" idea, but said there should be more criminal prosecution for the reckless spread of HIV.
Dan Savage, whose column, "Savage Love," appears in publications including The Village Voice, first proposed the idea in his February 22 column. Savage compared his suggestion about HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) financial obligations to a heterosexual man being held responsible for paternity. While paternity forces child support payments, Savage's proposal would force homosexual spreaders of the HIV virus to be partly responsible for "drug support payments."

"[O]ne surefire way to curb unsafe sex would be to put the cost of AIDS meds (medications) into the equation," Savage wrote. "If the state can go after deadbeat dads and make them pay child support, why can't it go after deadbeat infectors and make them pay drug support?"
'Radical plan to curb unsafe sex'
Savage has authored several books including, "The Kid: What Happened After My Boyfriend and I Decided to Go Get Pregnant: An Adoption Story," a book detailing how he and his homosexual partner adopted a child.
Savage explained how his HIV paternity proposal would work. "Infect someone with HIV out of malice or negligence and the state will come after you ...

Savage also produced some Internet hype in 2003 with a unique attack against Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Rick Santorum, ...A new noun -- "Santorum" -- swept through cyberspace, invented by Savage to describe in vulgar detail the by-product of a homosexual encounter. Savage even devoted an entire website to promoting his new word, which in turn won him the most outrageous word of 2004 at the American Dialect Society.
A moment of clarity from one sick jerk.

I have been following his column in the local liberal rag for some time. While he is otherwise a jerk, this idea of his struck me as being right on. His defense of it against those who have written in against it, comes across as quite conservative. He is actually more conservative in his column about sex than many Republicans that I know. He calls a slut a stupid slut, a spade a spade. Makes for some interesting reading on the train when I have exhausted the morning paper.
Seems reasonable to me. I think they ought to have to pay for their funerals, and punitive damages too.
Perhaps it'll "dry up the gay community".
you gotta be tough when you're gonna be dumb.
Yes but...... if one is having anonymous sexual encounters with many partners, who exactly infected you?
That aside, this guy Savage is seriously bent!
You play, you pay.

I thought knowingly infecting someone else with AIDS was already a crime. And didn't Liberace have to pay his gay lover money after infecting him or something?
How about crimnial murder charges?
Good point!
I like edcoil's solution. How about criminal murder charges?
Why waste time with civil suits and just caste them down with the rest of the sodomites?
At first glance, that sounds good.
But, remember; once they're convicted, they become your burden. If it's not court-ordered sex changes it's court-ordered HIV drugs. It will become just another social program.

very difficult. I read yesterday about the regular gay's way of life. They have an average of 500-1,000 partners in their life. How to know which one of them is the culprit?.
