Very scary reality of homosexuality

For a while, I've been pointing out in certain situations that the HIV infection rate for male homosexuals was likely 10-15%; assuming that at most 3% of adult males, or about three million men, were homosexuals, and overall a little less than half of HIV infections were of homosexual men (say 400-500,000), I arrived at the "best guess" that about 10-15% of them carried HIV.

It turns out, according to the CDC, that I was wrong.  Apparently 20% of urban homosexual and bisexual men carry the virus, which suggests that either the number of homosexuals is even less than 3% (and far less than the Kinsey study's 10%), or that there are even more HIV infectiosn of homosexual and bisexual men than the CDC had previously estimated, or both.

Either way, it says something that I would hope that even SIECUS and the Kinsey Institute would clue into; that this lifestyle is like playing Russian roulette--repeatedly.   Yes, the symptoms and onset of AIDS can be mitigated with current therapies, but reality is that it still can be a death sentence--especially among the 50% of those infected that don't even know.

Along those lines, it reminds me of a young man I knew named Donald.  He was a secretary where I worked during graduate school, and was a very flamboyant homosexual who delighted in arguing against those who would argue that homosexuality was wrong.  The one thing we agreed upon was that we loved the Cornhuskers; I rooted for them because "Ski U" had broken most of their promises made to me, and Donald loved the Huskers because he despised Bill MacCartney, Ski U's football coach at the time.

After years of badgering by a professor who begged him to take a test, it came back....as quite frankly we all expected.  Ironically, his health improved for a while as he stopped living on caffeine and nicotine, but inevitably the disease took its toll. 

Maybe someday, SIECUS and other proponents of sexual anarchy will come to their senses and realize what their worldview is doing to too many Donalds.
