Who said everyone in Africa is gay? Africa has the highest A.I.D.S. rate of any country in the world. There are bisexual people that pass it to straight people as well. Educate yourself.

The situation that you originally post about is indeed something for people to be upset about...But please, keep facts straight for credibility...

According to the Center for Disease Control:

HIV is spread primarily by:

Not using a condom when having sex with a person who has HIV. All unprotected sex with someone who has HIV contains some risk. However:
Unprotected anal sex is riskier than unprotected vaginal sex.
Among men who have sex with other men, unprotected receptive anal sex is riskier than unprotected insertive anal sex.


They list this first...

The link is:

Basic Information about HIV and AIDS | Topics | CDC HIV/AIDS

According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases:

HIV is found in the blood, semen or vaginal fluid of someone who is infected with the virus. You may be at increased risk of becoming infected with HIV if you:

•Engage in anal, vaginal or oral sex with men who have sex with men, multiple partners or anonymous partners without the use of a condom.
•Inject drugs or steroids where needles/syringes are shared.
•Have a sexually transmitted infection, such as syphilis, genital herpes, Chlamydia, gonorrhea, bacterial vaginosis, or trichomoniasis.
•Have been diagnosed with hepatitis, tuberculosis or malaria.
•Exchange sex for drugs or money.
•Are exposed to the virus as a fetus or infant before or during birth or through breastfeeding from a mother infected with HIV.
•Received a blood transfusion or clotting factor in the United States anytime from 1978-1985.
•Engage in unprotected sex with someone who has any of the risk factors listed above.


Again, listed accordig to risk.

The link is:

HIV Risk Factors

This is our concern here in this country and throughout the world.

Don't lose credibility of pointing out an injustice in the world by using the opportunity to drop in some propoganda.You would be doing the Gay community a better service by pointing out the harmful problems that exist in their environment.

Okay, so anyway, what's the corrective measure for the people who willingly engage in rape of their own relatives? Because I think they could use a little help fixing that. A lot of help.

That's just seriously...ill. Beyond.

I'm waiting for someone on here to say that gay Zimbabweans have the same rights as straight Zimbabweans- like the right to marry someone of the opposite sex and stay in the closet.

It disgusts me to think of the idea's perversity. Really, how can people be so caught in their sexuality that they could perform so foul an atrocity.

Wait a minute -- sorry, we ARE talking about people here, aren't we?

Never mind. Sheesh.

And we think we've evolved....
