Do you really think the 97% of worldwide HIV cases found in low/middle-income countries are due to gay sex?? Really???

Oh yeah, and what the hell is a "gay promoter?" You really need to stop discussing things you don't understand, because it doesn't help your cause at all.
Firstly and very politely studies are showing less then 2% of Americans are Gay (male and female)...here is one such study...Americans Have No Idea How Few Gay People There Are - Garance Franke-Ruta - The Atlantic
( there are many others which concur)


Even if a figure of 1% is used of the population, to be a gay male, over 30,000 of the 50,000 new HIV infections each year in USA is attributed to the gay male, or bi-guy relationship with the gay male

So even though the gay male only represents 1% of the population, the gay male absorbs over 62% (31,000)of all new known, hiv infections for the year in USA...The human body simply does not have the chemistry to deal with this disease which has found a batteling ground against the human race...a virus is an army.

You don't get shot by a legal gun owner either. Your chances are just as likely to get stabbed by some maniac with an AIDS infected syringe.....which, by the way are handed out willy nilly.

Have you seen the movie Philadelphia? AIDS infected homosexuals were going to town on everyone and anyone. Isn't that mass murder?

But don't pay attention to science.

Why not? You can't get HIV from either of those acts, in case you missed that health class in 1986.

The discrepancies were already pointed out, but I'll mention them again for you... if only 2% of the population REPORTS as gay, does that include everyone who contracted HIV from male-to-male contact? What if the guy is married to a woman, but got some on the down low? He probably isn't reported as a "gay male," nor is the bisexual, pansexual, curious, etc. You'd probably be surprised at how many of those "unreported" men we have, and without knowing those numbers, your statistics really fall apart at the seams. Besides, all CURRENT studies show it's now growing more rapidly among heterosexuals - mostly due to the homosexual/male-targeted campaigns, which informed (and sometimes scared) them into protecting themselves more diligently than your average straight person.

So why do you always try to make this into a gay issue? Again, you seem to be stuck in the '80s with your knowledge of this subject.

There are virtually NO normal people with AIDS.

There are virtually NO people who "wish" they were gay.

"Homophobia" doesn't exist.....that doesn't mean that we can't be cautious of gay men because of the epidemic they spread through the world.

What does that have to do with science? It doesn't even qualify as murder, legally speaking... and for the last time, you need to start talking about CURRENT data (not data or anecdotes from 30+ years ago).
