p>WASHINGTON, February 14, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In a public statement last Friday, Matt Foreman, outgoing Executive Director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, rattled the homosexual activist community by joining the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), pro-family organizations and a growing number of homosexual activists willing to admit that homosexual behavior is both extremely high-risk and primarily responsible for the spread of HIV/AIDS in the U.S.
Addressing the topic of AIDS, Foreman drastically deviated from the "gay" lobby's party line by admitting, "Internally, when these numbers come out, the 'established' gay community seems to have a collective shrug as if this isn't our problem. Folks, with 70 percent of the people in this country living with HIV being gay or bi, we cannot deny that HIV is a gay disease. We have to own that and face up to that."
A little over a year ago, Lorri Jean, CEO of the Los Angeles-based Gay and Lesbian Center, similarly shocked the "gay" community by stating that, "HIV is a Gay Disease. Own it. End it."
Foreman's admission comes on the heels of a letter from Matt Barber, Concerned Women for America's (CWA) Policy Director for Cultural Issues, inviting Foreman and other homosexual activists to work together in discouraging homosexuals from engaging in the high-risk behaviors researchers recently determined are responsible for the epidemic spread of a potentially deadly strain of staph infection among certain segments of the "gay" community. The CDC has acknowledged that many of those same high-risk behaviors, such as male-male anal sex, are chiefly responsible for spreading HIV/AIDS.
Matt Barber addressed Foreman's admission: "It's extremely encouraging to see Matt Foreman, a homosexual activist who has for so long been in denial about the dangers of the lifestyle he has promoted, publicly coming to terms with the undeniable perils of that lifestyle.
"I only hope he will now stop promoting homosexual conduct and push for other liberal elites, especially those running our public schools, to do the same. Educators must truthfully address the 'gay' lifestyle's potentially deadly consequences.
"It's criminally reckless for the National Education Association and liberal educators to put political correctness and a deceptive political agenda above the lives, health and well-being of America's children. The evidence is there for all to see. 'Gayness' is not about 'who you are,' it's about 'what you do.' The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force has now, in effect, acknowledged that reality. Their honesty is refreshing and unexpected," concluded Barber.
It’s not bunk, it was spread initially to hetero women via bisexual males acting as vectors between the gay male community and the general hetero population. Or more likely IV drug users who shared needles with gay men infected with HIV who then shared needles with hetero junkies who then had sex with heteros.
Women do engage in butt sex too and it’s as dangerous for them to play catcher as it is for guys.
You also have guys like Larry Craig spreading it to thier wives along with other fun infections.
Well, stop all funding for it NOW!! Let the perverts pay for their own debauchery. Put those billions into cancer research.
That may well be so, and yet it does not refute the fact that HIV is spread overwhelmingly by men who engage in anal pepentrative behavior, and women who have sex with them. Gay men are only about 2% of the U.S. population but constitute almost 75% of the people who have AIDS.
If we had reliable statistics to show the percentage of man-to-woman transmission which involves a man who is gay or bi or "on the down low," that would be revealing and worth discussing.
Sort of like the internment camps for the Japs in WWII
MAybe put them in the desert too?
Captain Obvious where are you????????
Dideases that are airborne are different, such as TB. One can’t accidentally contract aids. One must seek out a carrier and willingly exchange bodily fluids. Whereas TB can strike a 3 year old kid 200 meters from the carrier.
There are a small amount of exceptions to these of course.
America is better than that, we’ve learned that rounding up and confining large groups of people is not a good solution to a problem. It isn’t even a good solution to nonviolent crime in many cases either.
I don’t know that gay men have more partners, I think men in general are more apt to have anonymous sex gay or normal.
Or bend over for!
LMAO! I almost choked.
Unfortunately, I expect this long-overdue admission by a gay activist (Matt Foreman) to be ignored or 'buried' by the MSM.
Choking is good for the planet. You spew less CO2 that way!
“Oh yeah, all right
Are you going to be in my dreams
Tonight?
And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make.”
Not a day goes by that I don’t hear about a HIV positive patient on the OB unit where my wife works, and these women didn’t contract it by being gay.

Maybe you offend them because with idiot misinformation like this, you give stupid people a bad name.
“HIV is a gay disease”
Well, duh!
There is an abundance of research beginning at least with Masters and Johnson explicating the huge difference in promiscuity between homosexual and heterosexual men. The data are consistent and astounding. If you wish your comments to earn any respect at all, please do not waste our time with profoundly ignorant guesses. Thank you.
