[Mudboy]

If they wanna go that way...migrate to a country that has made same sex marriages legal....so simple...


why does the whole country have to change laws for a few people?

Unless the law affects you (which I'm guessing it wont because you're not gay) then I don't see why it would bother you that much if this becomes legal.

If its legal, then it becomes visible everyday.....I doh need to see those types in public

[toyota2nr]

Have agree with Habit7.

You sure you wanna do that? Some might what to call you PNM now.

Hardly my friend. Our political view may differ but I am still very much objective.

I have been and always shall remain anti-PNM.

no sure brb

[toyota2nr]

^ yes it should be eliminated. The FDA and other health organizations created that rule in the early 1980's when AIDS was first discovered and the link between gay men and the spread of the disease and the huge risk of donating infected blood.

30 years on AIDS is a disease that affects both sexes and all ages. There has been many calls for the ban to be lifted in recent years because it's an anachronistic law and does not fit current scientific data on that disease. Google can give you many articles where doctors and health professionals are calling for the law to be changed in the last 5 years, but the politicians won't because it will affect half of their vote. What, the 36 million people dying of AIDS this minute in Africa are all homosexual men?

Hmmm lots of misinformation here.

AIDS started as GRID (Gay Related Immune Disease) in the 1980's. The reason it was called that was because most of the people inflicted were gays. The CDC incorrectly assumed that it was disease or virus causing that cases that were seen. Later research proved that most gays of that time especially those in San Francisco were into heavy late night partying and consuming of a drug back then called 'poppers' which was known to cause pneumo-immune disease. Also because of the spread of other STD among the homosexual populations there was widespread use of antibiotics to counter such spread. Antibiotics weakens the immune system which when mixed with heavy drug use manifested into symptoms of what we see today.

Didn't know you gave gay couples in public that much attention. I know that if I see one my care factor remains at a low and I continue doing what I was doing.

Why? If you go to any of the popular liming spot now you will see gays be it male or female, a casual glance won't disturb you, you have to actually stop and stare to really notice their behavior, if it disturbs you so much why you watching bro?

So if the two guys in the shadow were making out then you would be scared to enter your car?

[eliteauto]

[Sky]

If I was heading to my car in the dark and saw two men in the shadows I'd be glad to see them making out in this day and age yes.

Actually, this is misinformation.

GRID is what AIDS was called when it predominantly affected gay men in the US. It was thought to be, as you described, a disease caused by the sexual and drug-taking habits of gay men in urban areas.

That perception changed when the same symptoms were found in heterosexual people from almost exclusively heterosexual communities in foreign countries. AIDS definitely spread more quickly among gay men, but homosexual activity didn't create the disease.

You are correct on the first part but why did the incidence of AIDS as well as symptoms like Karposi's Sarcoma decrease in the mid to late 80's when the use of drugs like poppers were discontinued?

Yes the symptoms were found in heterosexual people but most if not all of those people were also suffering from other ailments eg undiagnosed / untreated syphilis, gonorrhea etc. There are over 66 known ailments that can cause a positive result on an HIV test.

Also semen is immuno-suppresive so it can also cause the receptive individual's body to produce antibodies similar to what are looked for in HIV screening.

Have you ever heard of the Padian study?

All this is to say that gay people can no more spread HIV than hetersexual persons.

[Humes]

That is a behavioral correlation, not a cause. Remember "Get High, Get Stupid, Get AIDS?" Prime example of it right there. The rise of HIV led to more caution, less pill-popping and more condom use among that subset of the gay community, which inevitably led to a decrease in AIDS cases and AIDS-related infections.

[toyota2nr]

True, correlation is not causation.

Have a look at the documentary House of numbers.
