C'mon EC. Didn't you get the memo? Hetero anal sex is hot. But homo anal sex, well that's just plain nasty.

Going back to KenFMt's original question, I'd also surmise that views towards homosexuality and the perception that AIDS is still a gay disease impacts our prioritization of AIDS research.

Let's address one cause at a time. I say we start with putting a halt to rear entry deliveries.

And of all of the HIV spreading activities why would we start there?

You know what amuses me? Bigoted people who lack the fortitude and conviction to say what's really on their mind. If you want to go off on a vicious tirade against gays why don't you just do it? Why be coy and beat around the bush?

Again...that's not a cause of AIDS. Transmission of the virus through bodily fluids is the cause...period. I'm not saying homophobia and other issues may not contribute to its effect and how widespread it is, but they don't CAUSE the disease. Exposure to the virus causes the disease.

Ok, tell us how you're going to get the approx 1.2 mil gay ppl in the US to stop being gay.



..... We're waiting.

Elemenatry, my dear Watson!

That's easy to do. I'd tell them "If you're a guy, stop having butt sex with another guy." And if you're a woman, "Stop carpet munching."

Now would they'll all listen to my advice? Probaly not.



Just so long as they don't FORCE their views onto me, they can do whatever they want for I care.

To each his own.
