Everybody on this site should read "The Death of Right and Wrong" by Tammy Bruce. She is a confirmed and proud lesbian who has had the 'fortune' to be on the inside of both the radical gay and feminist elite circles, and is she p**sed about what they are doing to this country. It should be required reading for every parent and concerned adult in the nation. What she has to say is infuriating, saddening and dead on.

While I haven't read her book it sounds like a great read. Here are some of Tammy's words from July 31:

Protect New York's Children from the Gay Elite

It does not matter how many get it from anal sex, gays, drug users or wherever. The facts are that the disease does spread by contact with bodily fluids.

This is the reason all dentists now wear protective masks, many surgeons wear extreme protective equipment during surgery.

My points are:

1. Gays are people too and are entitled to health care no matter how a disease is contracted. All the sexually transmitted diseases are treated - why an exception to Aids? (I don't need an answer please - I've heard enough of the "let em die" type answers).

2. Just wishing that people will change their behavior has never solved any problems because we live in a morally freer climate. How many out-of-wedlock babies are there? How many jails to hold criminals we were unable to convince to live a crime free life? How many treatment centers to try and cure drug and alcoholic addicts? Have we solved the drug problem? Why not?

People will make their own decisions about what they do. We have weak people, strong people, stupid people. You get the message - people are different.

3. Lastly - I know full well how a lot of Aids is spread - I am not an idiot. I also know full well that nurses have caught the disease from a pinprick in treating a patient. I know that a major sports figure had to retire from sports because he was HIV positive and was a danger to his teammates. I can name hundreds of instances of aids being caught by those not involved with anal sex or gay relationships.

4. The disease in our society will infect more and more of our young people, more and more "innocents", more and more heterosexuals.

All treatment professions have had to change procedures to insure protection of care givers because the disease can be transmitted when they treat a patient coming in contact with blood or bodily fluids. The fluid splashed into their eyes, mouth, or into a cut will cause the disease in them. Many patients do not even know they have the disease so these professions treat people as if all have the disease. An exposed male can unknowingly transmit the disease to his wife. His wife can transmit the disease to an unborn child. On and on.

So, we treat the disease in all patients in our society to prevent the spread throughout our whole society.

Now - call me ignorant but don't bother to try and teach me about this disease. Apparently I know a good deal more than many on here as they think this is only a problem among gays and if they choose to act foolishly, by dang, we are not going to pay for research to get rid of the disease. Meanwhile, their teenagers are exposed daily through sports, through our free sex society and the many sexual partners who might have somewhere come in contact with the disease and unknowingly be HIV positive.

Of course, we can teach our children not to get involved with sex until marriage, we can analyze the problem with the gay lifestyle and make them quit having sex, we can make HIV positive people remain celibate or only have sex with other HIV positive people, we can put in place tests for all citizens to quickly identify those who have become HIV positive and publicize the names of the positives so everyone will stay away from them.

Seems a little risky to me. Maybe we ought to spend our efforts in finding cures.

Considering the stats, I think a Compassionate Society Should Discourage Deadly Homosexual Behavior

All the sexually transmitted diseases are treated - why an exception to Aids?

Please provide the post where one of the above folks you pinged said we should not find a cure or treat AIDS.

Just wishing that people will change their behavior has never solved any problems because we live in a morally freer climate.

Nobody is just wishing. Thousands have left the gay lifestyle or deathstyle depending on your perspective. Here's some links on where homosexuals can get help:

  1. Abiding Truth 
  2. Christians No Longer Gay Living For God 
  3. Choice 4 Truth 
  4. Courage 
  5. Help for Jewish Homosexuals That is Consistent with Torah Principles 
  6. Hope for Homosexuals 
  7. Portland Fellowship 
  8. It's Not Gay 
  9. JONAH 
  10. Matthew Manning 
  11. Narth 
  12. One By One 
  13. Sy Rogers 
  14. Transforming Congregations 
Perhaps if the results from the above organizations weren't squelched or were discussed by major media we wouldn't have the problem we have today.

Apparently I know a good deal more than many on here as they think this is only a problem among gays

Yet not a single post in this thread, or any thread I've read here has stated AIDS is only a problem among gays. You've repeated this false statement more than once and I've corrrected it more than once. The facts do state AIDS is predominate among gay males. Here's something you may find interesting: The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS

Seems a little risky to me. Maybe we ought to spend our efforts in finding cures.

Do you think we should spend a disproportionate about of money on AIDS research especially when the main cause of AIDS is preventable?

Agreed... I accept your criticism....and stand corrected.

Of course the perverts are attempting to cast a "smiley face" on their deviant behavior.....by insisting on the term "gay" in place of homosexual, pervert, deviant, etc.....

However, it remains impossible to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.....

I just finished reading both of Tammy Bruce's books and I concur with your review. This book is a frightening and frank appraisal of what the 'gay elite' plans for our children and this country.

4. The disease in our society will infect more and more of our young people, more and more "innocents", more and more heterosexuals.

The bottom line is that homosexual anal sex and WILD promiscuity has spread AIDS, and those getting it from needle sticks and so would NEVER get it if it hadn't been for the homosexuals spreading it among themselves and then out into the rest of the population.

. Just wishing that people will change their behavior has never solved any problems because we live in a morally freer climate.

There's the solution. There needs to be a moral change of climate in this country. The "freer" morals you speak of are the source of most of the terrible problems we are facing, AIDS is not the worst of them. Wishing doesn't help, but accepting the serious moral decline as inevitable will make it worse. Action can and should be taken, and one of those actions is to NOT ACCEPT the homosexual movement's lies, but to tell the truth. Homosexuals are unhappy people who are killing themselves and now others, for instance those you mentioned in medical professions. Homosexuals can change, and until this truth is allowed to be broadcast, people are going to continue to get and give AIDS.

I too think the use of ravaging might be a little strong. Especially considering the infected group is such a small and isolated group. There are 13,000 students at NCSU alone. Sixty cases is hardly an epidemic.

I have three kids in college right now. Two at NCSU, one at Meredith. They all report that homosexuals are a definite tiny minority that are bemusedly tolerated, no more.

One note on ClancyJ's ill-advised posting on this thread:

Why is it that anyone who speaks against homosexuality is labeled as either homophobic or a gay-hater? That is the rhetoric of the left, ClancyJ. Most of us are just tired of hearing about it. Most of America thinks it is an aberrant, deviant behavior, but most of America is willing to ignore it as long as it isn't shoved in our faces.

Besides, as someone pointed out earlier, Mother Nature seems to be taking care of the problem in her own, inexorable way.

My aren't we pompous and unconcerned since it is only gays that get exposed and transmit the disease?

If I had three children in college - I would be worried. Are they having sex with any person that was ever exposed sexually or through exposure to bodily fluids with an HIV+ person? If not, how do they know? Have their partners been tested? If not, they are taking a chance.

I am through with this discussion. I have tried to advise that our young people are in danger - gay or not. I have tried to advise that the desire to cast blame instead of finding solutions to protect all members of society is denying the danger of infection, and turning the problem into only a "gay" problem - all others are safe and should not be concerned.

The whole tone of this thread has been who causes it and if we can make them stop their activities there would be no problem. Ok, make them stop sexual activities. We'll give you - oh maybe two years to get it stopped before we worry about anyone we know coming into danger. Until then, don't bother teaching your young that they can get exposed to HIV through sex with their partner who just might be HIV+.

Now make all sexual activity stop between gays - we are waiting......waiting.....waiting... Now make all sexual activity stop among our young people - we are waiting....waiting....waiting.

Good, now all are safe. Go on with your lives.

FACT In Wisconsin during 1997, your Federal and State taxes funded 8.3 million dollars directly for AIDS—the equivalent of more than $104,000 for each AIDS death, but only $35 for each death from heart disease and stroke (Federal only) and $568 per death for (certain) cancers. Yet heart disease and stroke in Wisconsin during 1997 accounted for 17,300 deaths, and cancer for 10,500, while AIDS accounted for only 80 as the underlying cause of death. Compared to heart disease and stroke AIDS funding per death should amount to .06 cents. Funding per AIDS death is almost 3,000 times more than that for heart disease and stroke, and 200 times more than for cancer. This figure does not include Medicaid expenses for AIDS totaling almost an additional $13,000,000. Wisconsin provides no funding for heart disease, prostate and colon cancer, as well as most other afflictions.
(Wisconsin Dept of Health and Family Services/National Center for Health Statistics)

FACTDuring 1997, AIDS funding by the City of Madison and Dane County, from your tax dollars, to the Madison AIDS Network totaled $514,904.  There is no city or county funding for any other disease.  In Dane County during this same year, 566 people died as a result of cancer, 934 from circulatory disease, and only 6 from AIDS.  Interestingly, over 55 percent of the 1.5 million dollars funded through various sources (1.2 million from your tax dollars) to the Madison AIDS Network each year goes to pay salaries and benefits!  Of the total income in 1998 of $7,948,493 for the AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin, $4,421,230 was used for salaries and benefits.(Wisconsin AIDS/HIV program / Madison AIDS Network budget sheet / Wisconsin Women Magazine article January 1999 / Madison Magazine February 1994 / AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin revenue for 1998)

FACT - Surprisingly, as many people die from reaction to aspirin each year as from AIDS.  Last year, more people in the U.S. died of pneumonia and flu, from Alzheimer’s, cirrhosis of the liver, Lyme disease or even from falls than from AIDS.  In fact, more people die of heart disease every six months than have died from AIDS in the last 16 years.  (Wisconsin Dept. of Health and Family Services / National Center for Health Statistics / Jeff Jacoby, the Boston Globe)

FACT – The first recorded AIDS cases in the U.S. were in the mid to late 1970’s, and occurred in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.  At first it was called GRID, which stands for Gay Related Immune Deficiency.  This name was given because homosexual men were the only patients.  In 1981 the first reported AIDS case (by that name) was recorded by the Center for Disease Control.  AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency (Acquired because you get it from someone else).  The case was known as patient "Zero", a possible Air Canada steward from Montreal, who died in 1984.  He contracted the disease as a result of sex with other men.  (Wisconsin Dept of Health and Family Services, Division of Public Health – Center for Disease Control – The 20th Century, with Mike Wallace, A&E Television Network, The History Channel – AIDS, What the Government Isn’t Telling You, Dr. Lorraine Day, Rockford Press, Palm Desert, CA. – WI State Journal, 6/23/99.)

FACT – The first recorded AIDS case in Wisconsin was in 1982.  Records indicate that the recipient was a male who contacted the disease as a result of sex with other men, and came to Milwaukee from another state.  Statistics show that the number of heterosexual women diagnosed with AIDS is increasing, and sex with infected bisexual men is the leading cause.  The disease is then passed on to their newborn children.  (WI. Dept. of Health and Family Services)  See statistics above concerning heterosexual contact.

FACTIt is impossible to correctly state that homosexuals cannot change.  Today, thousands of former homosexuals are PROOF that change is possible.  Michael Johnston, founder of Kerusso Ministries, who was in the homosexual lifestyle for 16 years and who now has AIDS, stated at a conference conducted by Alliance For Life Ministries in Madison last year,  "Don’t believe it when you hear that homosexuals cannot change.  It’s a lie.  I and many others are proof."  Johnston can be contacted at 757-872-8878, P.O. Box 2399, Newport News, VA 23609.

Behind the above statistics are countless crushed lives.  The life of an AIDS patient is no less precious than that of someone with any other disease.  But it isn’t more precious, either.  Besides, AIDS is simple to avoid.  Unlike most cancers, unlike muscular dystrophy, unlike Lou Gehrig’s Disease, unlike diabetes, unlike Alzheimer’s, the statistics above prove that the vast majority of AIDS cases are caused by willful behavior that most people know is not good for them.  Homosexuals are 5000 times more likely to die of AIDS than heterosexuals.  Anyone that abstains from sex or has sex only with a faithful spouse, and does not use intravenous drugs, has much less chance of getting AIDS then being killed in an airplane crash.  Since only the act of sodomy differentiates an active homosexual from a heterosexual, it is hard to justify preferential handling for a disease almost anyone can prevent!

WHY THIS SPECIAL TREATMENT?  We want reason in this debate, not rhetoric.  We’re asking you to re-examine the truth of homosexuality and AIDS with ALL the facts in hand, apart from half-truths and hostile name-calling.  If you really love someone, you’ll tell them the truth.  Love without truth is simply empty affection, but truth in love can give hope.

If our community is interested in reducing AIDS, a change in behavior will do more than all the billions your Federal, State, and County governments can spend from YOUR TAX DOLLARS.  AIDS is a recreational and preventable disease, primarily spread by a destructive lifestyle!

THINK ABOUT IT!

I have tried to advise that our young people are in danger - gay or not.

I agree. Anyone who has promiscuous sex is endangering their life. So people should curtail their sex lives and wait for marriage.

I have tried to advise that the desire to cast blame instead of finding solutions to protect all members of society is denying the danger of infection,

The solution is very, very simple. See first comment.

turning the problem into only a "gay" problem - all others are safe and should not be concerned.

I am wondering why you keep denying - with all the links and information posted right on this very thread - that homosexual behavior is intrinsic to the spread of AIDS? Homosexual activists tried to tell us 15 years ago that soon "everyone" would have AIDS. But even today the majority of those catching AIDS are either homosexuals, IV drug users (who are often prostitutes), bisexuals, or women who have sex with some of the above. Be honest!

RE 53?

Try telling that to a parent who has lost a son to AIDS having contracted AIDS as a teenager. Do you think it hurts any less because he happened to be gay? Or possibly twice as much? Do you think they will feel it is ok not to try and find cures for this horrible disease? Or, would they feel no problem - just let nature take its course and handle it for society?

Oh, by the way - I don't believe the statistics that more is spent on AIDS than other major diseases. I feel that much money has been spent over the years on cancer, heart disease and all other diseases as is natural when people are trying to find cures to prevent the loss of loved ones.

Oh, and I'm still waiting for society to bring about a change in the morals of today. Still waiting for the media to quit promoting "living together without marriage".

Wonder if all these young people will just hold off their sexual escapades until we can get society to turn away from promiscous behavior and delay sex until marriage, gays to quit having sex altogether. Maybe we as parents can find ways to convince these young people.

There is no person who speaks the language of inclusion and acceptance to gays who actually cares about them. Those who care will repeatedly tell them of the dire health risks and the early onset of death.

We warn those we love.

We don't warn those we are apathetic about.

In post 32 I said "a friend won't always tell you what you want to hear." A true friend is someone who cares for you enough to say things nobody else will say, even though it may hurt.

Perhaps ClancyJ could read some of the links here:
