Gays faced with new STD strains
By JACOB GOLDSTEIN

In the past five years, without much fanfare, a syphilis epidemic has emerged among gay men in South Florida and around the country.
Nationwide, rates of drug-resistant gonorrhea have risen rapidly in gay men.
And a rare form of chlamydia has spread among gay men in Europe, moved to Canada and New England, and may have made its way to South Florida.
Syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia are all curable, but they can be painful and, if not treated promptly, can cause long-term damage. And having a sexually transmitted disease makes it much easier to contract or transmit HIV.
The rise of these diseases follows the return of high-risk sex in some parts of the gay community -- and an increase in new HIV cases among gay men

It's nature's way of telling you something's wrong
It's nature's way of telling you in a song
If you ask a liberal they will tell you the pressure and psychological trauma of being gay in a Red State forces these men to have anonymous, drug-fueled sex in rest stop bathroom stalls. Seems like alcoholism would be easier.
Homosexuality is so WONDERFUL! Isn't it simply grand that children across the nation are being encouraged to experiment with this wonderful lifestyle!
Pointing out a simple fact is not the same as wishing for it to happen. Pointing out a cloudy sky is no wishing for it to rain. But sometimes good things happen when it rains!
I googled "Eddie Murphy's prediction" and here's what I got:
'And we are one step closer to Eddie Murphy's prediction that sooner or later, STDs will be so bad, you'll just ... and explode.'
I hope they get the gerbils vaccinated.
How come it is queer if it is something good, but gay if it is something bad?
Lessee:
..a syphilis epidemic has emerged among queers.
I've always been amazd that PETA hasn't gone after gerbil abuse. Is Richard Gere on their board of directors?
I have the cure -- Heterosexual monogamy. Dang if it doesn't stop the spread of these diseases right in their tracks every time!
No, we just need to take away the funding from cancer, heart disease, and diabetes and apply it to the homosexually transmitted diseases, or HTDs. Hey! I coined an acronym!
Heterosexuals are doomed!
Wait.
Never mind.
LOL. Actually, I think the "Love Makes a Family" freaks convinced PETA that these gerbils are consenting adults.
Are you assuming that we all know what Eddie Murphy's prediction was?
Making an observation is not wishing anything on anyone.
Yep. I posted regarding a broadcast I heard from that Pacifica station in Berkeley over a year ago.
They hammered home the meth angle. The meth can be snorted, injected, or "dipped" like snuff. If you snort or dip the meth the mucous membranes or lips/gums absorb the meth.
Intravenous injection has fallen out of style. But their latest trick (most popular, they claimed!) is to use a syringe without a needle and squirt it up their butt. Evidently their colon absorbs the meth just dandy.
Problem is that the meth - don't know whether it's caustic or acidic or whatever - causes sores and lesions.
So you have homos using meth with sores and lesions in their mouths, throats, and butt. The rest sort-of writes itself.
