According to the CDC, annual US AIDS deaths are largely caused by male to male contact, about 16,000 a year. Second cause is drug use.

Transmission Category Estimated # of AIDS Cases, in 2006

Male-to-male sexual contact 16,001

Injection drug use 4,410

Male-to-male sexual contact and injection drug use 1,803

High-risk heterosexual contact* 4,558

Other** 217

Interestingly enough I looked this up after hearing the CA marriage initiative was passed.

So the question is, why do Democrats support gay marriage if the leading cause of AIDS comes from men having sex with men? Moreover, how can these men be considered good parents if their behavior leads to a long and painful death?
