LGBTQ icon Larry Kramer has spent the last 37 years warning of homosexuality's health hazards. He's director of ACT UP whose slogan is: "Silence=Death."
Many gay marriage advocates wish Larry would shut his mouth. His message undercuts the image of being "gay and blissful." Folks are uncomfortable adding unsavory elements like this to the conversation.
Do you think lawyers who presented arguments to the Supreme Court included the following?
"Chief Justice Roberts and esteemed members of the Court, while you will hear our efforts to persuade you to legalize gay marriage today, we must be mindful of serious, elevated health risks the gay lifestyle brings to multitudes. We must be responsible to examine medical data carefully ... ."
I don't think so.
King David, Israel's greatest ruler after whom Jerusalem was named, stated, "I do not conceal your love and your truth from the great assembly" (Ps. 40:10).
Did pro-gay marriage attorneys not "conceal" but tell the whole "truth" in presenting their case?
Say it with me: "I don't think so."
***Infuriating, Heartbreaking Story ***
Last year Entertainment Weekly magazine highlighted the "most important, infuriating, heartbreaking movie of the year," Normal Heart, Larry Kramer's story. They cited chilling stats:
60 percent—the percentage of young Americans living with HIV today who are unaware they're infected
36 million—the number of people who have died of AIDS since 1981
Mr. Kramer once addressed the LGBTQ community in New York. He also had tried to kill himself.
"I have recently gone through my diaries of the worst of the AIDS plague years. I saw day after day a notation of another friend's death. I listed all the ones I'd slept with. There were a couple hundred ... I know I murdered some of them. I just know ... several hundred over a bunch of years ... Most doctors do not like to discuss sex or what we do or did. ... One doctor answered me, 'It takes two to tango so you cannot take the responsibility alone."
Recently, the Centers for Disease Control released findings on gay activity. The "love story" doesn't have a happy ending. The Gay and Lesbian Medical Association also underscores their very real, dangerous elevated risks:
HIV/AIDS
Substance and alcohol abuse
Depression and anxiety
Hepatitis
STDs, including syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, HPV and prostate, testicular, oral and colon cancer.
Gay and bisexual men accounting for 75 percent of syphilis
78 percent of all new HIV infections are among males, overwhelmingly gays.
Psychological Reports and the International Journal of Epidemiology report: Homosexuals have a 20-year-shorter lifespan.
Stats can be impersonal and cold but if you've cared for a 30-year-old gay friend until his excruciating death (I later officiated his funeral with his former gay friends) you feel the pain of a devastating, unnecessary loss.
Dr. Frank Spinelli wrote the following in The Advocate, a gay publication:
"My practice predominantly treats gay men. Guess how many texts and phone calls you might receive during any given weekend involving questions that have to do with ... contracting HIV from unprotected sexual encounters? Now take that number and multiply it by 10 if that weekend should occur around Gay Pride, Folsom Street Fair, Gay Days at Disney, or any one of the Atlantis cruises. Welcome to my world!"
Our Declaration of Independence begins by referencing our Creator whom tens of millions believe designed a beautiful natural order for sexuality, marriage and family. Disregarding divinely established standards have brought epidemic STDs on America.
***Charity and Clarity Can Make for a Happy Ending***
Millions believe we shouldn't redefine marriage, opening the floodgates for polygamy, polyamory and pederasty. We should honor it as it has been defined for 5,000 years of Western Civilization (plus honored by every major world religion and 91 percent of the United Nations countries).
The spiritual, emotional, mental and physical well-being of gays should be all our concern. Should we shrink back from sharing these realities, the result will be escalating death, disease and diminished lifespans.
For attorneys, advocates and uninformed people swept up by the "marriage equality" express, did you see Mr. Kramer's billboards along the way warning "Silence = Death?"
Larry Tomczak is an author of nine books, including a quarter-million best-seller, Clap Your Hands! He is also a cultural commentator through his weekly articles on three national news services reaching 26 million monthly.
How likely is it that the men who do get AIDS from heterosexual contact are still having as many partners as homosexuals.
I would like a solid link to the 20 year shorter lifespan for homosexuals as quoted in this article. I have been unable to nail that fact down.
I worked in interior design in Atlanta in the 80s, I have some stories too. I saw little that I would describe as gaiety, lots of unhappiness, brokeness, and pain under a veneer of pretense and drama.
Exactly. They want acceptance but once they get that they’re still not happy.
A lot of lesbians will have huge numbers of partners as well.
I am not as familiar with their lifestyles.
I remember checking into a hotel one night and saw all these butch looking women. I thought to myself that a lesbian convention must have been going on in that town. It turns out there was a high school girls softball tournament going on.
I would be horrified if I were one of the young girl’s parents. It was almost like packs of lesbians were stalking these young high school girls.
These people litterally rape their own lives out.
Hmm yeah, it is called Face Book, and it is why Zuckerberg likes it that way. FaceBook might as well be called Faceplant.
Like? That's exactly what is going on. They prefer a target-rich environment to recruit in.
They prefer a target-rich environment to recruit in.

I found it so repulsive. They were stalking these young girls. These bulls are pedophiles.
What you just wrote spells “EPIDEMIC” to me.
HIV/AIDS — use your imagination — no, don’t!
The wife of one of my friends had a hetero neighbor who liked to play softball. That woman said she was disgusted by all the lesbian players who tried to put the moves on young, non-lesbian girls.
From the time I spent interacting with the ‘lifestyle,’ most of the homosexual people I met had a very typical persecution complex, and eagerly encouraged it in everyone else.
To put it simply, nearly all of them were VERY unhappy and wanted someone to blame it on. Those who were, supposedly, happy bought into the idea that homosexuals were being horribly persecuted, and quickly degenerated from being normal, cheerful-most-of-the-time people to shrieking drama queens in the span of under a year.
It’s amazing how quickly hatred and bile can trap someone.
I’ve seen close friends turn into bitter enemies because one side had bought into the same-sex-marriage-is-the-same-as-straight-marriage thing, and the other side might have said so on the surface, but then he and his ‘husband’ went and started pressuring their disabled roommate into a threesome.
And oh, the DRAMA that happened afterwards when that came to light. The initial friend was turned off of the gay lifestyle after that, so I guess that’s one bit of good news.
that is one bit of good news. They are quite unhappy many of them.
They are stuck in an unnatural way of life. How can they ever be that happy.
they want what they cant have. natural children, normal sexual relations. it’s sad.
I have heard stories of “gifting”, where gays that for some reason want to get HIV will meet up with someone that has it and have unprotected perverse sex to get HIV.
Not telling someone you have it, ? I would report that guy to the cops if I were you. That’s murder, plain and simple, and I assure you, he is NOT YOUR FRIEND.
This truth will never see the light of day. The AMA knows this. The APA knows this. Why the silence?
Most are working for their master and don’t even know it. You can’t have two.
The term ‘gay’ was originally and always has been a lie.
There probably isn’t a girls sports team without a lesbian running it.
ah, it was 12 years ago at least. And when I said that he should never have sex without telling someone, he backpedaled fast and said that he always told everyone.
I was dismayed to see it had been downgraded very much as a crime because of the new treatments.
that’s like saying shooting someone should be downgraded because of new medical treatment. doesn’t make sense.
Funny how HIV is blasting onto the scene again in gay communities but the ones occurring in that rural area due to drug use are getting all the attention. The Press likes it better when they can say “look, everyone gets it!!”
Larry Kramer is a homosexual, and I know too many blacks who use the word “n___a” and “n_____r”. I know those words are all over the music industry. It seriously wouldn’t surprise me even a little bit to see it as part of title in either print or music.
It’s virtually impossible for a male to get HIV from a female, so that part of the male statistic is one that I question.
