MAG: 25% OF NEW HIV CASES IN USA ARE MEN WHO SOUGHT OUT VIRUS

New ROLLING STONE Managing Editor Ed Needham is set to hit complete controversy with a 4-page report: "Bug Chasers: The Men Who Secretly Long To Be HIV+."

Filed by Greg Freeman, the shock story claims some men with HIV are deliberately having unprotected sex with those who want to be infected!

"The men who want the virus are called 'bug chasers,' and the men who freely give them the virus are called 'gift givers.' While the rest of the world fights the AIDS epidemic and most people fear HIV infection, this subculture celebrates the virus and eroticizes it," reports Freeman in the February 6, 2003 edition of ROLLING STONE.

At least twenty-five percent of all newly infected gay men fall into [bug-chasing] category, according to one claim in the magazine.

"In this world, the men with HIV are the most desired, and the bug chasers will do anything to get the virus."

Gay groups "aggressively encouraged" Freeman to drop the article.

One sad passage captures a young man in New York City who wants to be infected:

"His eyes light up as he says that the actual moment of transmission, the instant he gets HIV, will be 'the most erotic thing I can imagine.'"

An infector is quoted as saying: "I'm murdering him in a sense, killing him slowly, and that's sort of, as sick as it sounds, exciting to me."

In the mid 1980s I used to pay a certain amount per pay check into the United Way. I had always thought that folks who made a decent income should give a little to their fellow humans.

Then one day I looked at the list of enterprises the United Way sponsored. Aids care homes were among those listed. Other gay and lesbian efforts also received funding from the United Way.

I have never wished anyone to become ill, or suffer from even their own misguided actions. But I'll be darned if I'll advance my funds to pay to help people who didn't care enough to protect themselves. Stats show that that a large portion of the promiscuous gay population does not use condoms and would not refrain from going to gay bath houses.

Why should any citizen agree to privide support for folks who wish to die. And further, I submit the actual figure is far higher than 25%. I have seen statistical presentations where folks who were interviewed admitted not to using condoms, and this represented more than 50% of those interviewed. If you don't use a condom, then you have a death wish. 25% is not accurate. It is too low.

Told ya' so

[Steven W.]

wasn't this the byline of a recent episode of Law & Order?

If you're paying taxes, you're already paying.

I do not allow it - it is done completely without my consent. I am robbed at government gunpoint, and the money taken from me is used for things I despise. And I am speaking up about it.

>These people must go to a special school to learn to be this stupid.

How many vampire
movies have linked death and sex?
How much pop culture

presents life as a
hopeless burden? These people
went to the school of

modern culture and
they were stupid enough to
believe what they learned...

[coloradan]

... absolutely without my consent. See #24.

[knak]

I am speechless (for once)!

I did the google search thing too. Totally mind blowing. I've never heard of this one before. It's just sick!

"The men who want the virus are called 'bug chasers,'

I thought they were called butt chasers.

And Mayor Bloomberg fires those who would dare to smoke a cigarette and gives health care to homosexual partners.

[Michael Barnes]

This completely solidifies what I now believe. Homosexuality is a mental illness. No sane person would do this.

Well, best of luck to them, hope it's over quick (hence cleansing the gene pool)

[MadIvan]

Why don't they simply use a gun and play Russian Roulette the old fashioned way - it takes less time to die and costs the taxpayer a great deal less.

These people went to the school of modern culture ...

A public school, I presume?

[mombonn]

My best friend's brother died from AIDS. These guys will regret their "bug chasing" when they're curled up in the fetal position, waiting for death.

[PatrioticAmerican]

Fags, mentally unstable idiots in the first place.

[steve in DC]

What do they call this?

A "thanotic urge"?

[KQQL]

That's what the rumors say...but I don't ////the truth

[semaj]

Just wait and see what happens when they run out of willing particpants.
