AIDS On the Increase in Homosexual Community

AIDS is on the increase in the homosexual community, but are you likely to hear about it from most of the “mainstream” media?

From Reuters yesterday:

Between 2001 and 2006, male-to-male sex was the largest HIV transmission category in the US, and the only one associated with an increasing number of HIV/AIDS diagnoses, according to a report from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The increase was highest among boys and men between the ages of 13 and 24 years who had sex with other males, particularly among ethnic minorities.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that 72% of male AIDS cases spring from homosexual activity.

The risk of homosexual activity in the contraction of AIDS has become so difficult to ignore that even Matt Foreman, the former Executive Director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, admitted a few months ago that AIDS is primarily a “gay disease”:

“Internally, when these numbers come out, the ‘established’ gay community seems to have a collective shrug as if this isn’t our problem. Folks, with 70 percent of the people in this country living with HIV being gay or bi, we cannot deny that HIV is a gay disease. We have to own that and face up to that.”

There are certainly other valid reasons for not engaging in homosexual behavior, Biblical prohibitions and other health risks among them, but if there was any intellectual honesty in the greater homosexual community, that community would be radically shrinking out of self-interest, if nothing else.

There has to be a spiritual component at work, a “strong delusion” that prevents some from seeing the truth, even from a secular perspective.

Which is why it’s all the more irresponsible when well-meaning (or uncaring?) politically correct individuals deliberately avoid the truth, glossing over it in an attempt to look like a nice guy. They’re like the doctor who examines the smoking patient, finds cancer, then tells the patient, “You’re in perfect health! Keep doing what you’re doing!”

We’re not doing homosexuals a favor by telling them there’s nothing immoral or unhealthy about their behavior. In doing that, we’re negligently contributing to their physical, emotional and spiritual disaster.

There’s a reason the Bible says, “Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.”
