ATLANTA (AP) -- A government study found one in five sexually active gay and bisexual men is infected with HIV, and nearly half of those infected don't know they have the disease.

The study is considered the largest to look at urban gay and bisexual men at high risk for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

So what is the breakout for suburban and rural homosexuals? I guess this is why its called brokeback mountain instead of rock candy mountain.

The answer is simple. More government intervention. Start treating this like cigarette smoking. Tax and restrict this deadly behavior. Ban it in public.

Not much of a study, if they can only find five gay men in all of Atlanta.

Hey - remember the “good ol’ days” when they tried to scare us into thinking this would become a widespread heterosexual disease, too?

Heh. Funny how that never happened...

And if one of them sexually molests a young boy, the probability of infecting him with a fatal disease is high.

Couple this with that PSA they were running on LOGO that said 70% of new cases of HIV are among homosexual or bisexual men and you might think HIV/AIDS has something to do with being gay. Maybe you’d think it was a gay-related disease. A gay-related immunodeficiency disease or syndrome. What would a good acronym for a Gay-Related Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome be?

Huh, it can’t be gay-related. You can just get it by walking down the street and BLAM! You got the AIDS!

It just happens. Like pregnancy. Or bad credit. Or bankruptcy.

It’s probably genetic.

Now here’s a study that’s a little bit helpful.

The problem is, the Left will just use it to ask for more money to find cures, instead of advising people to cut out their risky lifestyles.

“Reagan's fault.”

There is no way it is the men's fault who have created some of the most efficient ways to transmit viruses, bacteria and disease by engaging in activities that are OBVIOUSLY detrimental to a human being's health.

NICELY done

and if as the report says the gay men don’t know they have aids how do the researchers? Think they will tell them?

If smoking is bad because it causes lung cancer, why isn’t the male homosexual “lifestyle” bad because it causes AIDS?

Even in the conservative media such as National Review, I rarely see an obvious argument against “gay marriage” made. Since homosexuality causes disease and death, especially in males, society should do nothing to promote it, including recognizing “gay marriage”.

Homosexuality is an extremely promiscuous behavior.

Like swingers and heterosexual sex addicts, the active gays by and large move to the cities, where they can have far more sexual partners.

So again most of them are going to be in the big cities, specifically to have more sex partners available.

We better spend even more tax money keeping them alive! (But don’t worry, they won’t spread it around to anyone else.)

Well, I guess we’d better give more tax dollars to gay groups to help spread it further.

Seriously, I don’t know why they think it’s kind to homosexuals to help spread AIDS, which is what current laws and tax-supported efforts do. The secrecy laws make it a crime to tell anyone that they’ll get AIDS from this person or that. And the sex-ed classes teach little kids to have as much sex as they want but use condoms—a sure-fire way to spread AIDS.

Then when we get more AIDS as a result, they call for even more tax dollars to help spread it further. Makes a lot of sense, NOT.
